I’m horny at work, so let’s play a little game:
The number of notes on this post by 6pm EST = number of times I have to edge before I’m allowed to orgasm again.
This might be the dumbest idea I’ve ever had. 1 hour left.
The next few weeks are going to suck in the best way.
There’s a countdown in my bio, and I’ll be updating along the way. I apologize in advanced to anyone who hangs out with me in the next couple weeks… I’m going to be in a weird horny/desperate/slutty state of mind.
I finished all 150. This bitch is orgasming tonight.
This has been a wonderful, beautiful, happy update.
A king has no sons, no daughters, and no queen. For this reason he must decide who will take the throne after he dies. To do this he decides that he will give all of the children of the kingdom a single seed. Whichever child has the largest, most beautiful plant will earn the throne; this being a metaphor for the kingdom. At the end of the contest all of the children came to the palace with their enormous and beautiful plants in hand. After he looks at all of the children’s pots, he finally decides that the little girl with an empty pot will be the next Queen. Why did he choose this little girl over all of the other children with their beautiful plants.
The seeds were all dead (burned, fake, etc.). The other kids cheated and got different seeds and planted them. The little girl didn’t cheat and was not able to grow anything because the seed was dead. She was the only one who didn’t cheat.
damn
Nothing like original fairy tales!
i get the moral it’s trying to convey but that king is an idiot and the kingdom’s doomed. you don’t appoint an honest kid who will forthrightly admit a failure like that to leadership of a country, you put that kid in charge of like… the army, or something. the department of agriculture.
i’d send out dead seeds, then appoint the kid with the biggest and most beautiful plant anyway.ideally the same kind of plant as the dead seeds were from. and ideally a kid with a really good pokerface. that kid knows:
a) how to perceive failure early (a well developed second plant means they knew how soon the first seeds should sprout and didn’t fuck around when they didn’t)
b) how to fix the situation (a second plant of the same species means they got someone to help them identify the seeds and plant more, or are observant enough to do it themselves)
c) how to get the best people for a job in to do it (kids aren’t great gardeners. a beautiful science project probably means mom did all the work— just what you want from a child ruler and their regent)
all around, that kid (or their mom) is the kind of devious results-oriented bald-faced liar you want to go toe-to-toe with the lords of your country and the rulers of your neighbors. not a little kid who admits defeat so early and in a situation with such high stakes. ‘whoops i didn’t grow a plant’ sounds a lot less sweet when you phrase it like ‘i give up on ruling my country’.
you know, i think i’d also send agents out to encourage the kids to destroy each other’s plants. let’s see who’s good at seige warfare, too.
So I watched this so called classic for the first time this evening, wasn’t a huge fan, however I relearned a valuable lesson, nerd’s will never get the girl xD
It’s my version of Link as a rito based on @titosuarez Idea/AU; their design is a lot friendlier looking.
Plus, here’s a rough sketch of rito-Link fighting a lynel. I’ll probably never take it further than that so… there you go.

“The three hardest things you will ever have to say are I love you, I am sorry, and I need help!”
Recently I have had to say all three. I want you to know that no matter how bad I want to protect you, you will experience heartbreak, failure, disappointment…things that push you past your limit.
In those moments it is important to remember who you are, what you stand for and not let the situation get the best of you. Trust Mommy on this one, I have been there…
I recently wrote a letter to a few people, I want you to have it.
“Dear people who mean the most to me,
For awhile now I have been having trouble sleeping trying to figure out exactly how to verbalize what I want to say. As most of you know, 2012 was NOT my year (pa, uncle Billy, both of slims grandmas, postpartum, job, marriage issues, new mom panic). I have spent a lot of time reflecting on 2012 and I owe you all an apology.
I wish I was stronger and didn’t fall into feeling sorry for myself, but I did immensely and I said things, did things and was childish, jealous and not myself because while my world was crumbling, it was very difficult to watch everyone else be so normal.
I wanted to write to you because I realize that the people I love got the brunt of what I was going through. I am very sorry for any and everything that I may have done. I was not there for people the way I wanted to be, I said things that I never would have said, I hurt people…the people I love the most. I am sorry.
I was miserable and instead of fixing it, I fell into misery loves company. What I learned is that, when you hurt the people you love, it doesn’t make you feel better…it makes you feel worse. I wish I would have learned this all sooner. and for those who have lived the long haul with me, I appreciate the years of putting up with dramatics and my over the top personality and the unconditional love you have shown me regardless. I know I haven’t always been the easiest person to deal with…at times demanding and downright oblivious to the needs of those around me. I am sorry.
Over the past few months two things have really called me to question myself and everything around me. 1. Slim’s hospitalization and 2. going to the most intense marriage/self counseling ever.
What I learned from those two situations: I did not like at all the person that I was in 2012 (and probably longer, but mostly 2012) , I wasn’t the best wife, mother, or friend that I could be. LIFE IS SHORT and most importantly, it is NEVER too late to change and be the person that you want to be, the person that you need to be.
Instead of punishing myself anymore for how I was I finally decided to make some changes and I did. I know that it is very hard to see past history especially when you have a history of passive aggression, dramatics, etc and even worse if you experienced the 2012 version of me, but I can promise you that hindsight is 20/20.
I apologize again for not being there like I should have been, for saying things to make myself feel better, for being miserable in my own situation and taking it out on you. Moving forward, if you choose to be around, I ask that you trust that 2012 has taught me my biggest lesson yet and you at least give me the chance to show you the changes, not just tell you.
It is a horrible feeling to feel like a different person, know that you are…and still have to deal with being told who you are because people know you so well. Yes, you all know me very well…but sometimes something happens called progress and character development and that is what has been happening. Now that I am done shutting myself off and being miserable to the people I love, I would love if you would take some time to get to know me… I am still me, just a 2.0 version that I promise you will enjoy more and who will never again take out my self pity on the people i love the most again.
Thank you for listening!
Love yelly”
You will mess up baby girl, but learning to say you are sorry, asking for help, and telling the people who mean the most to you that you love them…that’s what is important! You have to learn from the tough moments! You know what I learned? That Unconditional love is incredible!
Here are some of the responses I received from my letter…
“Don’t need to read it all to tell you I LOVE YOU unconditionally.”
“I love you. We all go through rough patches in our life and lucky for most of us we push on and are able to see our "down falls. ” You are loved by many and for very good reason, you are a kind and loving person who is always trying to find new ways to be a better person.“
"You will be successful no matter what you do because you have a powerful mind and an everlasting determination. Sometimes when I am frustrated in life and am lost without understanding I forget I am not alone. I forget that there is always someone watching over me and that those who have loved and sacrificed for me have a better plan.”
“No needs to apologize. Friends are there thru thick and thin.”
“I am glad you want to change for the better but I also think you are pretty great.”
“Yelli, I love you for you. And this isn’t some sappy bull crap its the truth. I love all my friends because they are true to themselves, pure real and raw characters. I’ve always respected your blatant honesty even though it may be hard to swallow, your spit fire personality with mirroring humor, and your love for drama (don’t lie, you like that shit).”
Honestly baby girl, I wasn’t expecting a response, that was not the intention of the letter but what it taught me was priceless. The people that love you, and I mean REALLY love you. They don’t disappear because you make a mistake or ten, they love you through your mistakes! It was important for me to share this with you because I need you to know that Mommy isn’t perfect, but more importantly that when you feel overwhelmed, lost, disappointed in yourself and your choices…there will ALWAYS be someone who loves you through it. In fact I am willing to bet that there will be many people who love you through it. You will always be good enough, and I hope you never feel like you are not!
But in case you ever do, in your worst moments…I will be here to remind you that I once was where you are and that unconditional love is a beautiful thing!
Love you so very unconditionally!
-Mom
