[ SECRET SUBMISSIONS POST #972 ]

The first secret from this batch will be posted on August 9th.

RULES:
1. One secret link per comment.
2. 750x750 px or smaller.
3. Link directly to the image.

More details on how to send a secret in!

Optional: If you would like your secret's fandom to be noted in the main post along with the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. If your secret makes the fandom obvious, there's no need to do this. If your fandom is obscure, you should probably tell me what it is.

Optional #2: If you would like WARNINGS (such as spoilers or common triggers -- list of some common ones here) to be noted in the main post before the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret.

Optional #3: If you would like a transcript to be posted along with your secret, put it along with the link in the comment!

I Built a House From Free Scrap Materials in the Forest

I built a beautiful and cozy house in the woods—using only leftover materials found in nature, and hand-crafted tools.No machinery. No noise. Just patience, precision, and the quiet companionship of nature. Each log, each joint, each decision—shaped by instinct, guided by simplicity.

My supervillains be like ...

Fuck the Devil

Also, this is exactly what would happen if a church group said that Triton Teen Center kids should be going to church, not hanging out with supervillains. A poor life choice swiftly regretted by whomever thought it up.

I found out earlier this morning that this family I was very friendly with is moving out of the bldg. :(
The damn bldg manager was even ruder to me than usual when I was paying my rent this morning.
My dishwasher is not working at all unless I lean against it which is fucking up my leg. Usually it does this only part of the cycle, now it's doing it the whole time!
The cupcakes at least came out well but the recipe says it makes a lot more than it actually does. It said 24 to 28 cupcakes but it only made 16. That's not going to be enough to go around at the picnic tomorrow, there are always a LOT of people at this picnic. I'm going anyway though.

Scientists finally solve the mystery of what triggers lightning

A Penn State-led research team has unraveled the long-standing mystery of how lightning begins inside thunderclouds. Their findings offer the first quantitative, physics-based explanation for lightning initiation—and a glimpse into the stormy heart of Earth’s atmosphere.

Youtube's new 18+ restriction thing

If you haven't heard: Youtube's gonna be rolling out a thing where they use AI to analyze the types of videos you watch to determine whether or not you're 18. If they think you're under, they're probably gonna limit what kinds of videos you can watch, and if they think you're 18 or over, you're gonna have to provide your ID. And if at any point Youtube has your age wrong, you're gonna have to provide some sort of ID anyways to rectify it.

I hate it all. Some people have posited that this being put in place is to protect kids, which on it's face sounds like a good thing. But having to give your ID to some online company, and Google no less... Not too long ago there was already another incident where an app intended for women only had it's database leaked, resulting in the leakage of several IDs (because this app used IDs to prove that its users were indeed women, a practice I have my own thoughts about).

Evil, but hardly a surprise. So, think about how much you enjoy using YouTube, and if you start hitting barriers there, consider whether there is an alternative that would be less abusive.

Today is sunny and mild, a beautiful day. :D

I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.

I put out water for the birds.

I took a few pictures around the yard.

EDIT 8/1/25 -- I did a bunch of work on the patio and around the house yard.

EDIT 8/1/25 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.

EDIT 8/1/25 -- I watered the new picnic table garden.

I picked a couple of cucumbers and herbs so I can make a chop salad later.

Crickets and cicadas are singing.

As it is now dark, I am done for the night.

Here is my card for the Crime Classics Bingo fest over in

allbingo. The fest runs from August 1-31. (See all my 2025 bingo cards.)

If you'd like to sponsor a particular square, especially if you have an idea for what character, series, or situation it would fit -- talk to me and we'll work something out. I've had a few requests for this and the results have been awesome so far. This is a good opportunity for those of you with favorites that don't always mesh well with the themes of my monthly projects. I may still post some of the fills for free, because I'm using this to attract new readers; but if it brings in money, that means I can do more of it. That's part of why I'm crossing some of the bingo prompts with other projects, such as the Poetry Fishbowl.

Underlined prompts have been filled.

CRIME CLASSICS BINGO CARD

Excellent Intentions	Somebody at the Door	Still Waters	In Captivity	My Aunt
Underground	A Bookseller	On the Riviera	Family Matters	Not to Be Taken
In White	As If By Magic	WILD CARD	Before the Fact	The Village
A Lady	Settling Scores	He Who Whispers	Deep Waters	Silent Nights
The Black Spectacles	Someone from the Past	In the Basement	The Man Who Didn’t Fly	A Busybody

1. What is something you collect? Why?

I have a few things I collect. Books, movies, vinyl, Pop Funkos, Sabrina Carpenter merch, and I “hoard” candles lol. Why? I enjoy the things I collect as they reflect my interests and personality.

2. If you could make one ice cream flavor, what would the ingredients be and what would be the name?

I’m curious what a Nutella ice cream would taste like.

3. What can't you go a day without?

Tea, in some capacity.

4. What position do you sleep in? *back, right side, left side, stomach . . . etc.*

Sides, mostly. After starting BiPAP therapy I started to sleep on my back more (suspect it’s from the extra air flowing in).

5. What is your typical morning routine before work/school?

Still unemployed, but I’ve been busy editing my book and with school, so those count. I typically get up and go to the bathroom. Check my phone. Call my mom and then I get something to eat. That’s about it. I bathe at night so I don’t have to do that when I get up.

Current Mood: melancholy
Current Location: In my bed w/ the kitties :)
Current Music: '90 Day Fiance' on the telly
