Heeeyyy Tubla, question? You don't have to answer it bc idk it might be personal?? But I was wondering what your timezone is. Because on my end, at least, you only ever show up online at like 4am :U And if we're in the same timezone, you need sleep lol

[tubla]

@RobinTerrell Definitely not in yours. I've gone on at 12-4am a couple of times when in the first week of my semester since everything is always sort of messed up at that time, but never since. I'm usually on in the evening where I am.

Anywho, it's over and I should be back frequently from now on, I'm sorry for the wait! If I mess anything up, just let me know since I'm a little tired :B

[ladybug astronaut]

Welcome back! I hope you're doing well~ Everything worked out?

EDIT: oh my god that is the tiniest "stop" I have ever seen I'm caCKLING and I will indeed stop making fish

PS I found out my dad has mason jars and I'm gonna turn it into a terrairium and post it here as soon as it's done :0

ive made a couple of silk terrariums while working at my job as a florist, since i was in training she let me keep them ;o;
one has a mink jawbone in it, and the other has a working pocketwatch <3

@RobinTerrell Looking forward to it!

I actually don't have much of a green thumb myself, so I don't have a terrarium in real life :c As a kid, however, I loved catching things in school, so I'd empty out my waterbottle and bring them home, which meant I keep frogs, tadpoles, beetles, a caterpillar (which sadly turned out to be a moth and not a butterfly), and lizards, but ended up releasing them eventually. Unfortunately, I caught all of them by hand, so I always got scolded for it ^^;

Yesterday there was a cute little bird that somehow got into my room, so I caught that too but had to release it ;n; Seems like that habit isn't going anywhere :V

Edit: and yes, I'm doing fine now ^^

[ladybug astronaut]

I honestly don't think I could keep up with real plants ): Especially since I change houses every week and I don't think taking a terrarium back and forth would bode well, lol. I'm probably gonna have to get some fake flowers and such from the craft store. I'm thinking that, if I get some sand, I know a pet store that sells tiny skulls for fish tanks. I'm gonna make it look like a starter kit.

[tubla]

Even if it's fake, it's a sweet idea! I'm not sure that packing a jar full of sand would work very well with moving :o I think it'd be best if you got some floral foam, since it works fine with fake plants and it'd be easier to stick stuff down. You could always paint it :B

I'd love to make my jar a real thing, but I'm not sure where I'd get an antler from.

antlers, surprisingly, aren't difficult to obtain! i found four sets of antlers (mind you, two of them were very small sets from young bucks) at an antiques and thrift shop <3 the smaller sets were about $5, and the large halfskull with a decent set of antlers was about $20-25 ;u;
if you look around thrift shops, you might be able to find a set! you could also try the alternative of exploring woods nearby if deer are pretty common around your area. i know a couple friends who have found odds and ends bones and antlers that way.

@Volbeat
No deer, woods, or thrift shops at all where I live ^^; There are $2 stores, but it's impossible to find them here; I'm not even sure that we have deer in the zoo, which is kind of a problem. I might try to find them online, but even then I'm not sure when I'd have the time to set it up :b
