  1. Yep! I also have butterflies, mountains, leaves, and I made a new pair of earrings. I love fall.
  2. Why thank you! I’d like to thank my CNA textbook for inspiring it (sorry Dragon, no masterpiece today) Day 5: Deer
  3. Oct 4: Murky Sorry, it’s a little late and a little messy, but I worked 10 hours today and had a lot of homework and things, so not as much time as I wanted.
  4. one of my butterflies hatched!!

    hello, beautiful. Welcome to the world. 

    soon it will fly 7,000 miles for the winter. Then it’ll come back, lay some eggs, and the cycle starts again.

    butterflies are so cool. @Cash67, you can keep the atoms and elements and electrons. I’ve got magic.

      In second grade they had every kid take care of one painted lady caterpillar

      I also have magic! All magic is science. Except quantum mechanics. That’s magic. 
       

      As a Texan these butterflies make me very happy.

      My grandma just found a caterpillar in her garden. She was so happy about it, she's been waiting for 10 years to find one.

  5. It was good! I liked the way his perspective slowly changed and then at the end where you had that lil reveal, that was cool. And I could picture the whole thing really well, so nice work on that. I can always give critique if you want it, but I usually try not to because honestly, most of the things I see get fixed by practice, and it’s pretty hard (especially online) to give critique that makes a person want to keep writing. For teenagers, I’d rather highlight the things one does well, maybe point out a thing or two that they can try working on if I know them well enough, and then have them just keep writing. A lot. Practice and reading good books are honestly the best things a person can do if they want to write beautifully.
  6. Sorry to disappoint, but I have an idea for tomorrow that will (hopefully) make up for it. it was good! Probably unsurprisingly, I love a good witch and a good assassination, and playing with perspective is one of my favorite things, so it was really fun to read.
  7. Oct 3: Crown She’s quite messy, but funner than homework. Words are Heavy is the Crown by Linkin Park.
  8. Giiiirllll that’s good (not that I should be surprised at this point) no you’re fine lol that one mostly exists for people like me who get to maybe 2 of the days
  9. We can dream
  10. Oct 2: Weave
  11. Nice! oh, and btw, this one isn’t writing only, it’s just one where everyone can share their things in the same spot instead of on individual threads.
  12. The idea with Inktober is that everyone does these same prompts and then shares, I didn’t start it but you can see their official website here.
  13. Do you guys know those nights where you can’t sleep? where you can’t work on any of the million things you need to, you don’t have anyone to call, and you’re left with nothing but a blank page and an overwhelming black mass of emotion? yeah, me too. this is a product of last night’s wandering. Please know it’s completely fiction, and doesn’t reflect my life at all. I’ve got an awesome family. TW: abuse No New Thing:
  14. Hi guys!! It’s Inktober time!! I’m not too good at drawing, but I usually do a few of the prompts and have fun with it, or I’ll use them as writing prompts. So here’s a thread for people to share whatever they make this month, whether that’s words or drawings or something totally different. To those who’ve never done Inktober, there’s a prompt for each day of October, and the idea is that everyone takes it totally differently and then shares. So you do each number on that day of the month. Here’s the 2025 list:
  15. I really like them, but it’s definitely not for everyone it’s a lot of screaming heavy metal. If you want to give them a try with something more chill, I recommend the song Rain, their most popular album is Even in Arcadia but it isn’t my favorite of theirs.
  16. Thanks! The third one is the album cover of Take Me Back to Eden by Sleep Token, except I added the color cause I wanted to. And mine is messy, but I liked that vibe.
  17. Okay double post, my apologies, but I finished the last one. Not my favorite, but it was a lot of fun and a super peaceful way to spend a rainy day.
  18. Okay, so again, this is technically a words thread. also, it’s mine. so there. have some more of my mediocre calligraphy The last one is a progress picture, I’m not done yet and I KNOW those cats are ugly but honestly, I don’t like cats that much anyway, and I haven’t spent a crazy amount of time drawing, so I’m ok to not be as cracked as some of the people are. And it’s coming along really good, I’m excited to show you the finished product (thanks to @Wittlesfor being a genius and giving me good ideas)
  19. me: I’m a normal person, I’m not some weird farm girl, what are you talking about?

    also me:

    after sneaking past the half-Aztec runner beans in order to find a towel, I had to go build a new sheep field, herd the sheep, and then I ate homemade lentil lasagna (with homegrown Swiss chard, crookneck squash, and onions) and then I drank my yummy black cherry limeade with homegrown spearmint and now I’m going to go do some calligraphy of all 17 of the herbs we grow in our garden (I’ll do vegetables tomorrow) (then fruit trees, except our poor Asian pear died) (I could also do berries).

      be the forest cryptid you want to see in the world. embrace the nature. most of the world's not nearly as lucky. 

  20. Happy birthday Cellist!! Miss you, hope you’re doing well and listening to good music. If you need a good music recommendation, I recommend Górecki’s third symphony. It’s short, just under an hour, but it’s gorgeous and not a lot of people know it.

  21. hoco was really fun.

    i like people. a lot.

    that’s all.

      Nope.

      it’s the first school dance of the year.

      basically, a guy asks a girl with some big poster or dance or song or whatever else he can think of, the girl responds in a similar fashion, then you get together a whole massive group of couples, plan a day date, do the day date, get dressed super fancy, take some pictures, go to dinner, go to the actual dance (the least fun part) and then have an after party.

      it’s dreadful.

      but fun.

      Think Prom but at the beginning of school instead of the end.

      i'm jealous. that sounds like a lot of fun... 

      we dont even get a prom... all we have is one hosted by the parents only but thats only at the end of grade 12 for the seniors just before they graduate. 

  22. She smelled of cut grass and gasoline. Grease was splattered across her face and arms. Sunburned cheeks, a messy ponytail, the sun dancing in her eyes. She had muscle lines and calloused hands. She was beautiful.

    okay, [romance author] 🙄 

    Come on

    cut grass and gasoline?? Those aren’t good smells. smell like cut grass and gasoline. It’s icky. If you smelled it, you’d run in the opposite direction. Covered in grease just means you can see exactly where she brushes hair out of her eyes. Sunburns are for beach girls—no one who works outside all day has time for one. You wear sunscreen, or you get tan enough that you can’t burn. Messy ponytails aren’t hot. Everyone’s eyes sparkle when the sun is in them. Callouses are peeling skin. Do you want a leper?

    And guys, girls who work don’t get muscle lines. You get arms so thick they don’t fit in dresses or cute shirts, that’s all. If you’re after a girl who looks ripped, get yourself a tiny dancer…oh, wait, but that’s a stereotypical definition of beauty, and we can’t have that. People will call us sexist.

    So maybe we’ll give you an athlete…someone who works nonstop at her sport, someone who’s tough physically and mentally, who’s so good at what she does watching her feels like magic.

    try again. She’ll still smell like grass and sweat. Will you still want her when she has phlegm and spit and dirt crusted around those pretty lips? How about when she’s drinking mustard packets and pickle juice for electrolytes?

    yeah…get over yourselves, romance authors. Do some research. We aren’t hot. 

    (Well, I am, but I’m the exception. Obviously).

    that will be all.

      :D

      it’s ok I’m mostly just joking around

      but also

      as a reader, make sure to take things with a grain of salt. Things aren’t always what they’re promised to be.

      Cut grass smells great

      Gas, not so much

      I object to your point about girls not getting muscle lines. They absolutely can, and they terrify me even though I work with them

      Also also...the definition of hot is variable

      Oh no no we can

      but it’s like…you get them from working out as opposed to from working, and you have to have a really specific body type if you want them to be attractive

      idk man to each their own, just a couple thoughts 🤷‍♀️ 

      (also tone is really hard online, especially sarcasm. oh well).

  23. Thanks guys Aww, thank you. You’ll catch me soon enough.
