I’m feeling that hype/rush from Deltarune akin to the rush/hype I got from The Dragon Prince…. down Gato, down; no reblog/retweet spamming of Deltarune for you.

Trowel about broke but I got more progress; I got more bulbs planted (even planted the Prairie Smoke & White Great Blue Lobelia during the work) but I still have one final bulb zone/strip to plant. Tomorrow that’s gonna have to happen whether rain or shine; snowshowers are on the forecast for this Wednesday so the clock’s scarily a’ticking.

Hope you other Northeasterners are more ahead of the autumn season close-out than I am, cause man it feels like it’s gonna be a close one like it is for me every year.

Iris x hollandica & Iris reticulata are pretty different Irises

I fucked up. I really fucked up. I did not do my research on the Irises I ordered and only now have I realized my error. I honestly thought Iris x hollandica and Iris reticulata were both early spring bulb Irises of diminutive height, but no that’s not the case;

Iris reticulata, is a 2-6 inch tall early spring bulb that blooms in coincidence with crocuses (and is of similar height).

Iris x hollandica is a 12-24 inch tall (basically 2 feet tall!) early summer bulb.

Guess which bulb iris Gato ordered (the answer is the early summer bulb iris). This throws a monkey wrench into the planting plans, but I can nonetheless make this still work but man I wish I knew this sooner; I would’ve planted them with the hardy glads (so when the holland bulb irises would go to sleep the glads would take over the space). So I’ll have to find a different planting spot, and preferably in a way that they don’t become a problem spot for other perennials.

I’m a little sad that I’m not gonna see early bulb irises in the gardens this spring, but at the same time it’ll be interesting to see a bulb iris I’ve never personally seen before.

Almost all the bulbs are planted up, just have Tulipa tarda, Iris hollandica (*squints* I thought I ordered Iris reticulata, woops), and Crocus ‘Dorothy’ left, and I even changed my mind on how I’m going to arrange them in the gardenbeds to hopefully spread them out and still give visual impact. ~~Also hooray for music keeping me locked to the task.~~

The bulb planting work slowed down when I switched from trench-style bulb planting with the shovel to individual bulb pit-style plantings with the trowel. Latter’s more tedious, but should give long term payoff and impact through naturalization; that is one thing I know Daffodils and Crocuses are good at promising their gardeners.

What’d you mean that that I could’ve had 726 of my other songs on this ipod…. I was missing out on that many songs?!

*wakes up sore and tired to find outside is not only still super wet, but also with snow on the ground*

auuurghksafjglh must…. get…. more bulbs…. in ground

I think I may be tripping balls; was a Rathalos from Monster Hunter in that Super Smash Bros Ultimate trailer???!??

Just been reminded of one of many things I’ve yet to successfully draw/illustrate that I’ve so badly wanted to succeed in drawing for Hoepian stuff… The intermediate form that Kabakin Jungle earth dragons are able to turn to.

As the name implies it’s an intermediate form between human form and dragon form, only thing is that due to the fact that one should not normally be able to go into an intermediate form, it’s somewhat a monstrous form that gives that uncanny vibe that makes you feel “fucking nope”.

Only thing I can really compare it to for that monstrosity and feeling is the first two times Chopper from One Piece presented his Monster Point form (probably the comparison came up because earth dragons also have antlers)

Don’t lie, it definitely gave you that uncanny feeling.

large, uncanny, powerful, intimidating, I really want to emulate a similar feeling. Might be difficult as earth dragons have bark-like scales rather than fur, and have serrated teeth rather than human/deer-like teeth but, idk, I really want to nail that similar feeling nonetheless.

“I want mosquitoes extinct“ with the diseases and all, pretty valid.

“I want wasps extinct“ ok considering their position in ecology despite being assholes, this is becoming a bit grayer territory here…. You’ll break some major micro food chains on that one.

“I want ginkgos extinct“

be mad at the poorly foresighted citylandscapers/landowners on this one, not the tree that didn’t get to choose where it got planted!!!

Me @ me: I stg if you don’t get those bulbs/corms in the ground today while the weather’s good, it’ll be YOU WHO I’LL BE BURYING IN THE GROUND FOR THE WINTER INSTEAD.

Tired/Lazy Me: hey could you put the bulbs in while you’re burying me then?

Me @ Me: wh-
