How do I Tumblrs?

Peridot looked down at her arm and sighed in thought.

“You know,” she said, “with the Spyro remake looking so good I’ve been trying to decide where to get a Spyro tattoo.”

“Spyro’s that little purple dragon with the pet dragonfly, right?” Amethyst asked.

“Right, well, not exactly. Sparx is his friend, not pet.”

“So I was take it you were thinking your arm for your tattoo?”

“Yeah, but Spyro really wouldn’t fit thematically with Summoned Skull and I’ve always imagined getting a full Archfiend sleeve.”

“And Archfiends are those skeletony demon guys in Yu-Gi-Oh,” a large chunk of nerdy stuff Amethyst’s learned has been from Peridot’s adorable ramblings about her interests.

“You got it,” it pleased Peridot that Amethyst actually did remember so much.

“They look pretty rad. You should get a tattoo of the queen.”

“Which one? There’s two.”

“The one that looks more like a monster but still has tits. She’s hot.”

Peridot snorted and laughed. 

“Hey is there a king Archfiend?” Amethyst asked.

“There’s one for every chess piece.”

“Laaaaaame,” Amethyst blew a raspberry. “The queens should be married. Maybe the hot queen killed the king because his wife wasn’t happy in their relationship and then married her.” Amethyst made an excited sound then suddenly sat up. “You should totally get a tattoo of them kissing!”

That made Peridot completely lose it in laughter. She wiped her eye then broke down again.

“Aw I’m shocked, Peri. I thought you’d be all for monster wives.”

Ummm... uh. I CAN EXPLAIN! (I can't.)

I started writing this fanfic in 2018 shortly after Raising the Barn and Back to the Kindergarten aired. I saw so many red flags surrounding the relationship between Lapis and Peridot. I decided to explore these red flags in a human setting using a tattoo artist and florist AU as the backdrop for a dark Amedot fanfic. That part is easy to explain.

The seven year hiatus however, is not. I have no good excuses. But I'm back now and have two chapters written. Only one of them is posted at the moment because I wanna further proofread the second one.

This chapter covers the second half of an awkward and awful Lapidot date. There is also some behind closed doors dubcon. The consent is extremely dubious. Lapis is jealous and possessive too.

Compiled some basic information I know about drawing fat characters for beginners since I've been seeing more talk about absence of really basic traits in a lot of art lately.

Over fifty years of data show a peak in PFAS (also known as "forever chemicals") content in seabird eggs in the 90s, followed by a decrease as regulations went into effect. The most recent findings show a 70% decrease of most common PFAS.

We are making genuine progress! Producers are dramatically altering how much they use PFAS and how much gets released in effluent, but also there's a lot better understanding of how to remove PFAS from the environment!
