@applesforthis I only learned about pikas recently (I learned about them from this post) but tbh I forgot about them until you sent this to me!! They're so so cute 😭

No, alas, we don't have any squirrels in Australia. There are some zoos here that have them, but outside of illegally imported ones, that's pretty much the only way to see them in person.

I have seen squirrels in real life! I lived in the UK for around four years and it was one of the most delightful part of living there. I'm not sure what exact species of squirrel I saw, but I've seen greyish ones, brownish ones, and reddish ones. I'm generally delighted by getting to interact with any creature that I can feed (Australian seagulls being the main exception lol) but squirrels were definitely extra exciting for me because I'd only ever seen them in TV shows, films and books.

I have the thought "I'm sad we don't have squirrels here" but I've gotta acknowledge if any of them were introduced here it would definitely cause major problems to the native wildlife, similar to how colonisers brought rabbits over here (further reading here for anyone interested).

To begin with, I'll say that this is my opinion, please don't listen to me if you don't like it

You'd better draw your own conclusions to figure out what you like.

Well, for starters, I'm shipping artisaint not just because arti is very bad and saint is very good, no. I like the way they balance each other, it's hard to explain because they have complicated relationships (and I love complicated relationships). Someone will say that saint and arti are like "I can fix it" and "I can ruin it" but for me they are like "I could do something, but everything suits me, I don't want to change anything"

They live together and help each other at the same time, arti began to kill less, Saint began to control his abilities to rise, but saint also restrains the anger of Artificer, and the latter in turn restrains saint from a nervous breakdown, reminding that he is here and now

Arti/Gourmand. They're good, really, it's just that my Gourmand is more complicated than it seems. He is sometimes too intrusive when he thinks that someone needs help. Artificer loves her personal boundaries, and also dislikes when someone touches her without warning. Gourmet would just sometimes forget that arti reacts very sharply to unexpected hugs. But they are still good for me, I do not know what good can be said, it's better to ask a specialist on this ship

@sleepyc63 They are well versed in this

(For sleepy: I'm sorry if I offended you)

Artihunter

Everything is more complicated here... Even more difficult than with arti/Gourmand

Honestly, I don't like them, a doomed relationship is not for me, you can kill me if you want, I don't mind

It's hard to say why I don't like them, it's just not for me, I love ship with treatment and help, but here, arti and hunter are arguing about what they will eat today or where they should go, they have different opinions and they can't come to a common decision, they would just hurt each other. And the fact that hunter is infected with rot? This is literally another injury for arti, she has lost her slugpups, and if she gets attached to hunter, then she will lose him too and will not be able to help in any way

It's also better to find someone who ships them, they probably should have reasons why they love them.

I’m sick and have been bored all day, send me more asks!

Send your sun, moon, rising, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Node signs along with the house placement and I’ll reply with who I’d ship you with!

hi amu!! i'm gonna answer the questions and put the print delivery update under the cut because it's a bit grumpy 🥸

this was such a fun question to get!! my favourite frames are the ones from The Reject Shop, specifically the Barcelona frames. the 8x10 ones run for $7AUD (£3.50GBP). i like them because the frame bit is thick and they feel much more expensive than they are.

Kmart's version, the Nice photo frames, are significantly cheaper—the 8x10 ones are only $4AUD (£2GBP)—but the quality is lower. the frame bit gets scratched up really easily and i end up having to colour dings in the black ones in with sharpie and the white ones in with paint lol

both The Reject Shop and Kmart have these frames in white, black and "wood". i don't assign specific quality frames to prints but i try to get the colour of the frame to match the print (e.g. most of my armand prints end up in black frames because it matches his hair). i'll be getting a mix of frames from both stores because I like the variety.
