Saved an eastern narrow-mouthed toad from the pool
I was surprised to see this little friend because I didn't think they could be found in our area! (Forsyth County, North Carolina, USA) At least this one is safe now and hopped away to a non-pool location

Small fandoms can feel so lonely
My current fixation has 14 works and I posted half of them. I love creating for this fandom but not getting feedback can be... really isolating sometimes. The difference in interaction with those fics versus when I post something for a large fandom is HUGE, even though I'm putting the same amount of my time and passion into both.
It's not gonna stop me from writing for the small fandoms, but I hope we get some new content sooner rather than later so it brings new people in and we stay active. I promise I'm not gonna link anything and beg for views, I'm just looking to commiserate with folks who've been here 😅 this is why I try to leave comments on AO3 whenever I can, I'm hoping some of the energy I put into the universe will return to me.

Bamsemums plushie! Looking for info/when it was made
I'm traveling in Norway right now, my friend (who is Norwegian) and I found this guy in a thrift store and of course I had to have him. my friend explained to me that he's a candy mascot and that he's never seen one as a toy before! searching on google and ebay for more information turned up blank, but I'm very curious. also he did get me to try the actual candy after this and I liked it very much :)

Me five hours and 500 pages deep in various wikis to make sure my fetish one shot is perfectly in character

There is an audience for every type of fic, and as long as you follow TOS there are no rules. So go ahead. Write that darkfic about a children's show. Write fluffy shit about your favorite horrible villain. Write a sex scene with tons of kink negotiation and aftercare. Write a sex scene with absolutely none of that whatsoever. Some people won't like it, but some will, and more importantly *you* should like it and not change yourself and your work because some random on the internet called it "cringe" or "unrealistic". Do your thing, and if it's not my thing I'll just keep scrolling, and I hope you'll do the same when I do my thing 😊
