Izzy got himself pinched on the tongue by a stag beetle 🤦🏼‍♂️

Finally got around to finishing a personal piece, #pupplay version of #LyonelBaratheon. The hate I got the other day kicked me in the ass to finish it today! I considered making him a stag themed hood, but I love pups… Maybe next time I’ll give him a stag theme one!

I still feel bad this took so long to finish! All the chaos with work has kept me distracted. But I’m proud of how this came out!

Happy Pride! Here’s my fun little Republic of Pirates I made a while ago, because it’s definitely the queer capital of the Caribbean, and I don’t know if I ever shared it here.

The health and safety department got after me and made me go home. I can’t come in until approved by HR. So I’m losing a lot of funds. Ugh.

I’m on stingray monitor duty today. Basically I just make sure people aren’t being stupid about the rays. Simple. And entertaining to watch them swim all day! But it’s on my feet. They won’t accommodate until my paperwork is reviewed. Absolutely ridiculous. I’m not supposed to be on this foot!

update: still coming up short to cover vet bill. The vet refuses to see him until I pay office bill up front. I am desperate. please he refuses to get out of bed.

The general consensus was to go PURPLE! And my friend Jay actually had some extra purple dye, which they were happy to give me! Izzy was intrigued, clearly.

I got 3 nasty messages from now blocked accounts over my pup hood photo yesterday 😂 It made me realize, I don’t really share that side of myself on here much! Two of them were accounts that had followed me for quite a while, even. Fascinating how humans work.

I love that the doctor was clearly annoyed with all the questions my job had over my foot, and basically just wrote FOOT FRACTURE, DO NOT WALK ON (in all capitals) in almost every section. Then added details in lowercase letters. It was obvious even she was annoyed they wanted all that for this.

Hey, OFMD crew, does anyone remember a post here with an image of an outfit suggestion for Lucius? It was a sweater with a lobster and I think stripes. I forget the rest. I thought I had the image saved, but I don't and the post seems to have been deleted. I need it for OC reasons.

Well. Okay… Walking back to the shuttle to go home. Someone asks for a hug. Cool. Fine. Asks to tug my collar. Okay… Clearly drunk, but whatever. Go for it. I don’t mind, genuinely. Tugged it, pulled into another hug… And bit my neck! I’m just… What?!

Got adopted into a group with a pup, their handler, and their friends. Found out we live a few blocks apart! So we’re going to hang out soon.

Got some awesome free stickers! And a bag of unicorn poop 😂

Genuinely my new favorite photo of myself. It would become my new PFP but I can’t bear to change it from what it is.

Guysssss! I was brave and went shirtless for a bit! And that waffle was AMAZING. I wish I could have afforded 2, but dad only gave me $15 for food.

I’m in line for a penis waffle 😂

Are you kidding me. The urgent care charges $50 for the paperwork to be filled out for work. $30 more if I want it sooner than a WEEK! This is fucked! I can’t afford this, and can’t go back to work without it!

Going to attempt going to Pride today still, just extremely carefully. Go right at the start so it’s quieter. Take lots of breaks. Force myself to use the crutches, even though I hate them, because I’m supposed to be non-weight bearing on that foot…

Izzy trampled my foot during zoomies, and I think I just taught the neighborhood kids the f bomb because of how loudly I yelled in pain… 😅

Doctor: Here’s a note confirming my patient fractured bones in his foot and can’t walk. Work: Nah, we want SIX PAGES of OUR paperwork filled out by you, instead of that! Seriously…

It's all kicking off in Canterbury.

$80 more for crutches! I fractured my foot in not one, not two, but THREE places! Toilet tank lid fell on it…

$159 I didn’t have for X-rays today 🙃 Gotta love it.

Izzy is why I can’t have nice things.

Anytime I see art I suspect is AI, like…

There needs to be MORE fanart of Ned Low as a Repo Man for GeneCo. I’ve only seen pieces maybe 2 or 3 times. It’s 100% what he’d do!

We were the latest in zoos to be threatened today. Thankfully no active dangers were detected. But this is taken seriously. And it’s extremely scary and stressful for everyone involved. Trying to work on my last commission to distract myself from the day I’ve had.

🎶But even that hardest of hearts unhardened Suddenly, when he saw her there Persephone in her mother’s garden The sun on her shoulders, wind in her hair🎶 God of the Underworld Lyonel sees God of Spring Dunk for the first time and its love at first sight~ #akotsk #stormhedge

Was working in our butterfly garden and aviary today. As I let people into the butterflies, I finished the speech with ‘I’d tell you a butterfly joke, but I’m bad at winging it.’ For the aviary, I finished with ‘I’d tell you a bird joke, but it would probably fly right over your head.’

Bonus, full body refs for Hades!Lyonel and Persephone!Dunk

"why did ESO unfollow me"

Closed the door to the break room so I can have peace on my break to read. My least favorite coworker (NEVER stops talking) comes in. Leaves it open. Yapping non-stop to me when I have a book in my hands 🙃 There went that.

What do you mean that it’s been a year of him in my life?!

I’ll never understand how reading ahead in a book in school is ‘bad’. You’ve got kids wanting to read. Then you get mad they’re reading. I once got in trouble for ‘reading ahead’ when I asked my teacher to help me understand something in a book. I’d read the book a YEAR before we did in class.

Genuinely almost got into it with a coworker earlier 🙃 I mentioned someone quit because of having trouble with HR and their disabilities (which isn’t a good sign for me…), and said coworker said how you shouldn’t apply if you can’t do the job, and employers shouldn’t have to change things to help.

After reading Box Hill, then rewatching Pillion yesterday, I’m actually really sad. I know most movies change things from the books they’re based on. But this has a lot changed. The biggest issue I have with the changes? How they depicted Colin in the movie. Mild spoilers below?

Why is Izzy so… *gestures vaguely*

Mary vs Stede

Got the 30th off! So I don’t need to worry about seeing Rhys or going to Pride!

Guess who fed the stingrays, as well as pet the stingrays and sharks today!

I love this part of our penguin exhibit. You go down a ramp that has a simulated ship scene around you. Has a day and night loop it plays, along with a storm sequence. It’s so beautiful. But anyways. Almost got put on parking lot duty 🤢 But I didn’t have a radio available, which is needed there.

My coworker/friend, Jay, got to meet the gremlin yesterday. And made the mistake of wearing black pants. Izzy wouldn’t leave their side, for the 40 minutes we spent together before going to the zoo. Demanding all the love. Never wear black if you meet him!

I felt terrible calling off today. But I had a horrible nights sleep, constant nightmares, and woke myself up by talking in my sleep several times. Four year anniversary of my ex assaulting me today, too. I was in such bad shape, I knew I couldn’t handle today at work. Don’t wanna leave my bed…

Well. That was an adventure. We didn’t see the stingrays or goats because both lines were insane immediately. But we did climb around the play area at Discovery Trails. I wiped out at the end of the slide, on my hands and knees. Enjoyed a free carousel ride. And got a terrible green screen photo!

when lyonel goes overboard, he wasn't expecting a rescue like this 😳 (a dunklyonel mer AU for mermay~) #akotsk #stormhedge

Izzy was trying so hard to get my neighbors blind dog to play yesterday. But Django had no idea where Izzy was, especially when he ran in another direction 😭

Can people on Facebook stop asking me to edit their photos for free constantly? 😭 I hate saying no. But it takes up my personal time for nothing in return when I do it. I don’t mind if I VOLUNTEER to help. But in 24 hours, I got asked to edit 6 different pictures.

more Situations for lyonel 🤭 #akotsk #stormhedge #nsfw

Me: Telling Izzy repeatedly that he can’t have my grapes because they’re dangerous for dogs. Also me: Having an allergic reaction to said grapes but still eating them anyway. I love fruit 😭 But I’m allergic to most. Usually itchy mouth/hands. Sometimes burning, too.
