ivy adventures...i repotted this Hedera helix into a slightly larger, higher quality pot recently, and also cut it back fairly hard. vine species are possible to #bonsai but it is a challenge to get them to ramify (create branching), as the vine often just wants to continue as a single leader from any cut point. i'm pleased to see new growth on this ivy, indicating that it coped with the operation well. i intend to grow the ivy a little larger in the future, with hopefully a fuller canopy....

none of the stereotypes about cats are true for this cat. she's not mean or capricious or unkind in any way. she's just a gentle, quiet, friendly little cat, always purring and giving us headbutts. we couldn't have asked for a better companion. #cats #CatsOfMastodon #caturday #TabbyCat

we&#39;ll be going to a dog show this weekend, mostly to see the poodles. (my sister is a giant poodle person.) i&#39;m wondering whether we&#39;ll catch sight of this lil mop again, who was a highlight from two years ago. #poodles #MiniPoodle

i am happy to see Montreal win, but i would prefer it if they won because they played a tight game, not because their opponent blew it with a goaltending implosion. Carolina (who will face the winner of this series) swept their last two opponents, and Andersen has a .950 save percentage. it will be a hard semifinal if Montreal doesn&#39;t shape up a bit. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/canadiens-sabres-game-5-9.7199376

#PennedPossibilities 1014. If it came down to it, would your SC choose to protect the MC in a dangerous situation? this was the crucible Raphael passed through before the main plotline begins. he was a member of the jury that convicted Lucifer of heresy, and sentenced her to death. long ago, Raphael was assigned the duty of raising Lucifer to maturity: he became her father surrogate, and came to love her as a parent would, even in the face of recurring, tumultuous conflicts. he intervened more...

my mini Phalaenopsis has opened its final flower of this year&#39;s rebloom. it&#39;s slowly losing two lower leaves; i think it&#39;s overdue for repotting, though i want to wait until the flowers dry up. #plants #houseplants #bloomscrolling

#WordWeavers 16. Would your WIP still work if you changed the gender of your MC? if i gender-swapped my protagonists it would be a completely different story. almost the whole book is about womanhood and patriarchy, in their various forms. even the authors that inspired the book were mostly women; when the goddess Venus looms over the whole project, it makes sense to draw inspiration primarily from women&#39;s writing, to give the story that femme flair. i think this is all to the good. if...

#WritersCoffeeClub 20. What&#39;s a (maybe silly) hill you&#39;re willing to defend? that &#39;hook the reader&#39; does not mean &#39;fling us into a violent fight scene with zero context or reason to care.&#39; so many times, i&#39;ve scrolled past aggressive opening lines involving fists colliding with faces and spears stabbing into creatures with no prior setup, and it isn&#39;t exciting. it&#39;s monotonous, and infantile. i don&#39;t need to see a...

#PennedPossibilities 991. Tell us about your WIP. What is the genre or genres? the current WIP is a sequel; the first book is available for free on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/62147545/chapters/158967184 i can&#39;t talk much about the sequel without flagrant spoilers, so i&#39;ll talk about the first book. i find the broadest description to be the best—historical fantasy, fantasy set in the past. but unlike a lot of fantasy, the focus is not on action or combat but the ch...

&#39;Kiwi&#39; aeonium update on a whim, i pruned this little aeonium to see how it would respond to bonsai techniques. interestingly, it has produced some aerial roots that give it the illusion of a buttressed trunk. it may never become anything other than an &#39;interesting plant&#39; but i kind of like it. as a bonus, any rosettes i prune off are easily propagated and added to planters, or given to friends. if grown in full sun, the colour of the leaves will turn yellow, wi...
