I have one indoor basil plant that this is not happening to.

Info: Outdoors, several hours of sun per day.

The has drainage & 2 resident earthworms, watering daily as a baby & now watering every other day as the top soil gets dry– it tends to wilt and be sad with anything less. It's been perky and beautiful, up until these wrinkly leaves showed up.

I try to water during the day or afternoon, but sometimes water at night. The time of day I water is not consistent.

The top soil was dry today when I checked it, and as such, I watered it.

My spider bro Rodney has been around since before I even new she was a spider sis (hence her name Rodney) but she grew gravid, laid her eggs, and has been holding them in her jaws for a week.

But today, she dropped them on the floor! Is this normal?? Or are they not going to develop? What's up with this?

She does look pretty skinny right now, I wonder if she prioritized eating over holding her children, and that's why she dropped them. But it's so strange. I expected her to carry them to term. Rodney even has a husband in a small web about a foot above hers (he's been diligently keeping watch since a little bit before she laid her eggs)

Is she OK? Will the eggs hatch or are they done for?

Thinking about taking 1 of them and just raising it indoors at this point 😮‍💨💔

Info: Outdoors, sun has been pretty bright lately (high UV index), gets several hours of sun per day.

The large pot has drainage & 2 resident earthworms, watering daily as a baby & now watering every other day as the top soil gets dry– it tends to wilt and be sad with anything less 😅

The singular basils were transferred from the large pot into smaller ones (approx. last week). Some died from the transfer but these ones are holding strong & seem to have succeeded.

I try to water during the day, trying not to let the water touch the leaves (as to not make them burn).

🗣💬 ALRIGHT FELLAS, I'm back with another sour candy review. I did NOT expect to do another so soon HOWEVER, this arrived in the mail today, so I am back 👍

❓️Openability: 10/10 SO EASY. Mightve been the easiest sour candy package I have EVER opened. Literally awesome.

❓️Smell: Smells.. natural! Got a whiff similar to Fruit By The Foot at first, but it– wow. Giving it a proper sniff it's really unlike any sour candy I've ever smelled. Lots of natural ingredients like potato starch & fruit purees likely contributing to the "natural" smell.

❓️Cutability: er... 3/10. I suspect it might have poor toothability.... Texture is similar to some ~Natural~ melatonin gummies I've had before, so I'm not anticipating I'll enjoy the texture, but thats not to say I'll *dislike* it.

❓️Toothability: Oooohhh. No. No. Sticks to teeth immidiately. It doesn't, like, *hurt*? But it definitely sticks to the teeth. It's kinda unpleasant to chew in my personal experience.

❓️Taste: WOW. SOUR. They're not kidding when they call themselves sour boys! What number is this? 26? Is that 26/100? (No way...) It's impressively sour!

Lemme try another. (Ughhh it's sticking to my teeth! Ugh!) Wait these are yummyyy, whattt. The sourness is a little inconsistent? I got one that was much sourer than the others. But it's ALWAYS sour, ALWAYS ☝️above☝️ 5/10 sour, CONSISTENTLY. Even if it varies *slightly* it's never "not sour".

I feel as though, if I eat many more of these, my tongue will be shredded! But I like the flavor. It's NOT very mouth-puckering to be honest... but it's very tongue-shredding lol.

Maaaan that's dangerous; I could keep popping these in my mouth forever, hahahahaha. I'm gonna put them away. Their shape is definitely a 10/10. Maybe I should add a category for that?

❓️Sour: 7/10

Sourness just ALMOST on-par with Sour Punch, Sour Strips. A satisfying sour experience for sure!!

❓️Flavor:

💥*Biased* impression? 😐3/10😐. I love watermelon. I love coconut. I don't taste either, *especially* not coconut. There's NONE. If someone told me this was a strawberry candy I'd believe them. I was really lookin forward to that beautiful watermelon or coconut flavor coming through and I just didn't taste it.

💥*Less biased* impression: If this was labeled a strawberry candy I would say 🎉7.1/10🎉; It's really solid!! Not my all time favorite but DEFINITELY one of the better ones I've had on my sour candy tasting experience.

❓️Overall: 6/10

"What!? But flavor and sour is 7/10! Why 6/10?" Toothability. It sucks. I don't like the chewing experience lol. Also no coconut! I feel scammed hahaha! (Not literally, I actually got a really good deal on these lol.)

Would I buy again? No. I would not.

But would I reccomend to others? Yeah sure, if you like gummy-style candy, I would totally reccomend. It's not a straight up gummy texture, but the shape & poppability of these little dudes is toooo addictive & seems like it would appeal to that audience (which I am not a part of admittedly).

Thanks for coming along for yet another ☆sour candy review☆

Bye

Whenever I try a new sour candy, as of the past year or so, I've written a review on it. Just for fun. I don't usually publish them, but I figured why not start.

Here is my review of sour patch kids chews:

💥RANKING IS BASED ON:

❔️Openability. How easy the package is to open. I have a wrist injury so this is important to me.

❔️Cutability: How easy it is to cut into the candy with a seraded (but dull) knife.

❔️Toothability: Does it hurt sensitive teeth?

❔️Flavor: described and ranked out of 10

❔️Sourness: ranked out of 10

❔️Overall: Just my overall ranking of the candy.

Without further ado, here is my review:

❓️Openability:

7/10 not bad? Could be better.

oof... Upon opening, I already think the cutability and toothability of these is gonna be rough. Let's see...

❓️Cutability: Not... as bad as I was expecting? It's like a medium taffy. Not super hard, which is great. Will probably have decent toothability too. Similar to the bite sized airheads.

❓️Toothability: Oohh, good. Not bad. I mean, it's got a lot of citric acid in the middle, but it's not killing my cavity or anything. Doesn't get stuck to the teeth either.

❓️Smell: Smells good! Kind of lime-y to be honest.

❓️Flavor:

(Reviewed starting from blue and ending at red).

💥RED: Mmm, ok. Nice. Nice. Anyway. Erm. This one's kinda dissolving in my mouth lol, unlike the other flavors. This bitch sticks to my teeth unlike the other flavors. Why? Ok I'm gonnantry a 2nd one. ALRIGHTTT THE 2ND ONE WAS PROPER SOUR 🔥🔥🔥 6/10 sour! Great! Really pleasant surprise after all these disappointments.

💥ORANGE: Oooh, orange creamsicle, okayyy. OOOO, ACTUALLY SOUR, OKAYYYY. Like, not impressively so. 4.5/10 sour. But compared to yellow, green, and blue, it was pleasant ok? 5/10 flavor. It was "OK". It was nice but like, I think the outside lacking *any* sourness whatsoever drags these candies down like crazy.

💥YELLOW: Ok. Boring. Lemony, somehow without the sour. Tf? Did this one not have any sour powder in it? Lol.. Hold up lemme get a different one. Yup, that one actually had NO sour powder whatsoever. Hahaha. This second one is MUCH better. But still really mediocre. 4/10 flavor, 4/10 sour. Barely a pucker honestly, but I think it can just barely call itself a sour candy.

💥GREEN: ...Ok! Very mediocre lime flavor. If you've tasted 1 lime flavored candy, you've tasted this one. 5/10 flavor, 3.5/10 sour.

💥BLUE: Mmm, wow. The sweet portion is actually really quite nice. It's pleasant. It's a flavor I would expect in a gum, not in a chewy candy. Not super blue raspberry-y, I wouldn't reccomend to a blue raspberry fan. But it's pleasant! Not really a sour candy though.... 7.8/10 flavor. 2/10 sour.

**Flavor distribution is poor. There are only three (3) greens.**

Welp. I don't have many good things to say about this.

Why?

Even though the red was really nice on its 2nd taste, that's exactly the problem: I had to taste two.

And the quality between the two, including the texture and amount of sourness, was *VASTLY inconsistent.* This is.... not great, lol.

You can get anywhere between 1/10 sour, to 6/10 sour, on the same flavor. And that gamble just sucks when you're purchasing a "sour" candy.

❓️Flavor: 5/10.

Very generic flavors. Nothing bad, but nothing good either. They're just OK.

❓️Sour: 3.5/10.

The inconsistency hurts this candy a lot, but the ones I tried were NOT very sour (outside of that single 6/10 one). It can– *barely* but passibly— call itself a sour candy.

Would not purchase again. Might eat if purchased for me, though... I'm getting through this bag very slowly though, that's for sure.

❓️Overall ranking: 4/10.

Alright, thanks for reading 👍 I hope to post more of these in the future.

I have a large backlog of reviews (about 7 of them) featuring different sour candies that I hope to share eventually.

Hi, it's the EM Sandrone guy, lol. I appreciate the advice & discussion in my previous post!! I did what I could do Increase her attack.

I heard it's good at 2k-2.5k, but when I hit 2200, I thought "I'd like to have it higher", so I ended up with 2600+. I might end up with a lower ATK in the end, trying to increase my Crits.

WIP (Work In Progress) because I'd realllly like to increase her crit rate & crit damage! I'd like to refine her weapon, too.

But for now, I like how her ATK is looking 🎉

Waiting for fall classes to start in mid August (& waiting for my wrist dr appointment on the 17th...) Isn't there anything I can do...!? I might as well just go back to sleep... 😮‍💨💢 but I don't want to...!!!!

I'm sick of this! Why are my ears so cold anyway!? It makes them hurt way more! I hate the humidity and cold! And none of my braces & no amount of icing is helping my wrist either!! Grrr!!!!!

I've looked at figure collecting websites,

looked at every Snow Miku figure I can find,

I've looked up life sized statues of Miku, thinking it must've been a promotional item and not one sold in stores

I thought it came in a box and was an unboxing video of the figure. I think I saw it sometime around 2019, but it was not a newly released figure at the time I saw the video.

I don't think we're gonna find it, but I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring just in case someone knows what I'm talking about.

Thanks so much.

EDIT TO ADD: If it helps, here's some additional info about the video.

The person unboxing the figure was a man. There was a white wall less than 5 feet behind him. I think there were cardboard boxes & other things, probably figures; it was slightly unkempt but not totally messy. The video wasn't short-form, it was a regular long-form video.

Bad quality bc it was drawn messily on a phone, but I wanted to draw my mood when playing co-op with my sibling lol. I was literally going *GRHRHRHRH FILL MY BAR FILL MY BAR FILL MY BAR FILL MY BAR 🔥🔥🔥🔥* hence this drawing lol.

Before I played this co-op match with my sibling, I actually had never ever filled the Will To Win bar, so he felt super strong and I was so excited hahaha.

Now, I only have pne singular pair of characters that can fill my Will To Win bar on my own account (Inefa+Aino), but it limits my team comps a lot to only have that one (1).

But my sibling has a lot of great characters, so it was awesome to have my bar filled and just go crazy! He's so cracked alongside my sibling's Nicole and Diluc, it was really fun.

I want to make a proper, nice, rendered piece of art featuring Lohen sometime!! He's really great.

(I made The Rooster edit & memes)

​

​

I'm soooooo sad that they nerfed his nose, dude. Literally so bummed. There is no reason, dude; He's not even a playable character, he doesn't need that same market appeal. We didn't heed him waifu-ified 😭💔.

​

​

While I feel strongly about this, I understand if others prefer his new design; I'm just sharing my personal preference & sadness 😔

​

​

Edts made: smaller eyes, weaker chin, longer nose

​

​

slightly modified hair (that's how I thought it was gonna be before we saw the model, ngl 💀) and oops, didn't mean to intensify the wrinkles too severely but I did lol. Oh well

​

Making music is so hard! Why are my programs dysfunctional! Why does my computer have errors that other users don't encounter! Rahghhh!!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!!!

Anyway 😛

WHOOPS I FORGOT TO LABEL SEAFOAM!!! Which would be between Cyan and V.L. green!!! Arghhh. Well, you get what it's meant to look like, anyway...

( Context for V.L. green, since the name seems random:

V.L. is the name of a character I created when I was a child, and his eye color was this super specific color between cyan and cool green, so I've called it "V.L. green" for at least the last 13 years. I just don't know what else to call it, but that's His Green.

("V.L." doesn't stand for anything, that's just his name. Take it up with 12 year old me if you have a problem, lol.) )
