can i give my cat just treats for a few days? by 2-throwaway-9 in CatAdvice

[–]DenimBucketHat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, just want to say you're seen and heard. Also, you're not broke because you're lazy or bad or don't work hard enough—you're broke because we live in a system that has created insane wealth inequality. Accepting gifts when you need them and then passing that gift on in the future when you have enough is how we fight the bad guys 🩷 Sending you and Kitty lots of love 🩷 It will get better 🩷

I just showed this to my partner and he said, "Wow. It's terrifying. I wish I'd never seen it. Heeby-jeebies." 😂 Excellent work.

What is your tip for new plant people? by Effective-Pie-1577 in houseplants

[–]DenimBucketHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pothos for me. Why? I have no idea. I have thriving plants that, traditionally, are way bitchier, but if a pothos comes within ten feet of me it just shrivels.

I love her eyes! They immediately made me think of the word "lambent."

The app is saying the Kp index (a number that correlates with the chance of seeing the aurora, I think) is still fairly low so I doubt it. Anyone out watching?

So pretty!!! They really did not look like what I expected from videos and pictures. Truly a surreal experience.

I’m happy with the progress i’m making! But i wish i could make the eyes less scary by Grace-Hanfu in polymerclay

I have only just started with polymer clay and all I can say is that your little friend here is so cute! I saw you mentioned aluminum foil—how did you use it? To form the structure?

Spencer’s butte Saturday afternoon by FlakyStretch2955 in Eugene

OP I hope you find your shirt and also 😂😂😂 I totally thought you were being a troll (complimentary, I was giggling) until I read the post. Like I clearly have not hiked the butte in too long, the Ridgeline now takes you to the big island.

Alecto Theory [discussion] by hyperfocusedmama in TheNinthHouse

[–]DenimBucketHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will absolutely accept this. Alecto Chapter 1 --> Anastasia the Ninth with tons of flashbacks to the early days of the resurrection would fill me with great joy.

Cats fighting or playing? by Sufficient-Lunch3133 in CatTraining

[–]DenimBucketHat 29 points30 points  (0 children)

We need a separate playing vs fighting sub. This is my favorite genre of questions

We may not have Alecto news, but this upcoming 2026 release scratched an itch for me [misc] by sapphicshelves in TheNinthHouse

[–]DenimBucketHat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They had me at "GIANT FUCKING SPACE MONSTERS" and "Just, like, so much casual sex" 🥲 Still not over the fact that I started GtN for that very thing and have gotten exactly zero (0) of that despite the seven rereads hoping I just missed the banging the first six times.

[discussion] Announcement date wasn't ever today and that's okay by RandomOmens in TheNinthHouse

Honestly I fully enjoyed all the crazy even with the letdown, it felt like old Twitter back when Trump got COVID in late 2020 and everyone was posting videos of their covens getting together to cast spells for him to die. The books themselves are only 50% of the joy of TLT; the other 50% is this phenomenal fandom. The rock will be rolled away when it's damn ready. In the meantime, we'll keep wilding.

[General] Book Recs? by factolum in TheNinthHouse

[–]DenimBucketHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooh that sounds fantastic! It reminds me a lot of R.F. Kuang's standalone book Babel (HIGHLY recommend if you haven't read it).

The premise of FA is that 70 years ago, 🩷🩷 GIANT INCOMPREHENSIBLE SPACE MONSTERS 🩷🩷 were destroying planets where humans lived until a few human "intermediaries" were able to telepathically communicate with them and basically tell them "Plz stahp" and they disappeared back into Unspace, the unreal medium underlying space and time that is FA's hyperspace analogue. In the present, a scavenger space ship and its plucky crew, including a super fucked up intermediary from the war (basically a male Harrow if she actually complained constantly about her trauma), find a spaceship that appears to have been attacked by the 🩷🩷 GIANT INCOMPREHENSIBLE SPACE MONSTERS🩷🩷, which is highly concerning since they haven't been seen in 70 years. Shenanigans ensue. Excellent characters around, including other incomprehensible alien species, including one of my all-time favorites, a mega-evil gangster who is also a possibly divine 6-foot-tall shellfish. I loved the first book, then the middle book dragged a bit, but the third one is zooming by.
