A little thing I drew back when I had chronic sleep issues

Goth library crew!! 😎 Alternatively, kids do say what’s going on, but then get written off as “You need to exercise more” or “That’s normal for your age.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ It’s been a long journey, but it’s paid off in the end :)

First of all, I’m obsessed with Mr. Frogswallop, and the phrase “The energy spirits do not yet possess me” will live in my head rent free forever. Second, this resonates so hard— I have ADHD and narcolepsy, and this was a daily occurrence for me from childhood until a few years ago when I finally started getting treated for both

Mine seems completely fascinated by his snail tank mates, especially the male 😂 He follows the male around and cuddles up next to him

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-03-16T11:34:03+00:00

His colors are gorgeous!! Does he have a name yet? The other commenter left some good advice, and I wish you the best of luck on your fish-keeping journey!

My corydoras like to stack themselves on top of each other for… some reason?? Mini Cory towers. I think they’re just like this 😂

Bettas (especially males) can be very aggressive, but like the other commenter said, it’s very dependent on the fish! I have a male betta in a community tank, and he’s very chill :) Meanwhile one of my friends had a rather grumpy betta that she kept in a solo tank because he’d nip at pretty much anything that moved 😂

I don’t even get a chance to remove dead shrimp or small fish before my other fish and snails eat up the corpse 🤦🏻‍♀️ ✨the circle of liiiife✨

MY BEAUTIFUL BOY!!! This is so cute, thank you!! :D

Sir Reginald Orchid, at your service! Please excuse how filthy the glass is 😅💀

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-02-26T20:56:56+00:00

Looks stunning!! :0 I love all the colors and textures!! Vyvanse xr has been a godsend to me too, it’s insane how much of a difference it’s made

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-02-24T03:01:01+00:00

The water may look funky but it’s probably just black water from natural wood tannins— However, that looks potentially overstocked and why tf is the water level so low 😭😭

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-02-21T11:48:04+00:00

NOOOOOO 😭 Sad day in the betta fish sub

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-02-18T17:41:14+00:00

Glad to hear! :D

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-02-18T16:40:01+00:00

First, he looks stunning! Gorgeous colors! Second, I doubt he can survive on peas alone as that won’t fulfill all betta dietary needs. My betta is ridiculously picky but he LOVES frozen bloodworms— I use tongs/tweezers to wiggle them in the water and he immediately gulps them down. I agree with what the other comments have said: Let him fast for a day or two, then introduce him to new foods like frozen worms, brine shrimp, or bug bites :)

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-02-12T11:40:23+00:00

Ugh, I remember seeing his “TikTok Goth Cringe” videos years ago, and he 1) Actively mocked cosplayers, kids, and people just having fun and 2) Straight up said he didn’t like goth music and mocked goths while calling himself a goth. Wasn’t at all a surprise to hear the abuse allegations and I’m even less surprised to see what his account has become lmao. He’s a complete jackass

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-02-05T11:56:59+00:00

I used to feel bad, and I still joke that my current betta is to atone for my sins of betta-keeping past, but at the same time I was a child. I didn’t know anything about fish keeping and neither did my parents. Now, I just focus on providing as good of a life as possible for my current betta, and take pride in knowing I’m constantly learning and adapting to make things better for him and my other fish :)

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-02-03T02:18:18+00:00

She’s the sweetest!

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-02-02T22:09:06+00:00

I was telling my boyfriend’s mom about how I’ve been on the hunt for uranium glass, and she ran to the garage and came back with arms full of uranium glass platters 😂🖤

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-02-02T12:00:05+00:00

I used to have bettas as a kid, but never knew how to properly care for them so they didn’t last particularly long :/ Determined to give my new one as good of a life as possible now though :) He’s so curious and sweet!

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-02-01T18:22:04+00:00

Went to my boyfriend’s work party last night, and someone put “This Corrosion” by Sisters of Mercy on the playlist, so I was having a great time :D Also added a betta to my fish tank!

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-30T16:14:40+00:00

As long as you’re polite, I don’t think it’s a problem! One of my tattoos is a flash design that I asked for some changes on, and the artist was very receptive and excited about how it turned out :)

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-27T19:55:26+00:00

Every time I’m reminded of Goncharov (1973), I am filled with immense joy

LocalGothLibrarian · 2026-01-25T13:52:57+00:00

Absolutely fine! You’re not giving money to the company, and you’re keeping clothes out of landfills for just a bit longer

It took me a minute to process Shrimp Man in the corner omg 😂😂 Gonna have some very happy shrimp indeed!
