Found this pretty cool sculpture while exploring the forest this morning. Can't help but wonder what the story behind it was.

It's come to my attention that there might be a few people here who, like me, could use some mental health support. I have a pretty big list of resources and contact information that I've gathered over the year that I've been here. I'm happy to pass it along to anyone who might be considering some form of therapy—or even just a counseling session or two. When I got here, I was [...] in a very bad spot to put it extremely lightly, and if I can help ease someone else's stress, I'd like to try.

The highlighted names are the people I've personally seen and highly recommend. If anyone has any questions or just wants to talk to someone, my door is always open, too. Completely confidential. Umbra—my licensed therapy dog—is also available whenever you need. Or just for pets. He likes those.

Can I ask you about something important? Since you've been here awhile.

It's kind of sensitive, didn't want to make an 'everyone can see' type of post.

Okay. So everyone can see this, I guess. Bill? Eddie? Bev? Guys? I saw stuff from people saying it was you further up. Is it really you?

I hope so because this is fucked up and weird and if I'm the only one here, I really don't want to have to explain it later.

You're okay?

Just saw a goose full out knock everyone's coffee out of their hands at Starbucks. Thankfully I hadn't ordered yet.

Hi. I was hoping I could talk to you about something?

Holy HOT FRIES you guys do I have GREAT news! On Tuesday, Ronan will be back at the market!! :))))))))))))))) (he is definitely rolling his eyes at me right now, I can just tell, but I am really exited and I know you are too!!!) I would say a whole thing about how I'm really proud of him for starting this whole thing up, and just in general, and that I love him and admire him SO much but it would definitely embarrass him so I won't. :)

ALSO just like how we did a special event for Mother's Day we're also doing one for Father's Day, in two weeks! It's very similar, we'll have a breakfast deal, we'll have crafts, and SUCH good fiber arts, our pond will be open for fishing and you guys our pond is SO great, like, you think it would be just a pond whatever, but no, this is a GREAT pond!! ALSO there is a big rumor that Ronan MIGHT do a storytime and you guys. You. Guys. As someone who has been the beneficiary of Ronan's storytimes before I like, can't even express what they mean to me. It's like, the equivalent of chocolate chip cookie dough bites. THAT GOOD.

Also good?? Are these cards he made!!

( They're basically the Uncrustables of cards )

I am also around for hugs (with consent!!), high fives, fist bumps, or just words of encouragement if you aren't into being touched at all! :)))) If you come to the market every time we're open, thank you!!! I love seeing you! And if you haven't but you're looking for an excuse, consider this your personal invitation! I would love to see you!!

( And so would this guy! )

Highballs are on special at Galahd tonight, first round free for whoever tells me the best worst joke they know. And because I'm shit at keeping up, if anyone's new and hasn't come by for their sorry you got dragged to an alternate dimension drink make sure you do.

Fuck me. Vet recommendations. One that won't think twice about seeing a 150 year old puppy and all the complications and illnesses that come with a dog living to be that old.

Sure, why not. This might as well happen. Sidenote for whatever multi universal mystical force at work behind all this, the next time you want to make me miss a month of my life please don't bring me back two hours after my toddler's bed time. Why not a nice 10 AM? Or 2:30 after his afternoon nap?

I'd like to inquire about AZ Fell & Co. Bookshop in Vallo City. I was told it was Outlander owned but the owner left. What would it take to become the property and store manager due to the owner's absence?

[ELAIN & CASSIAN]

My library arrived from home. Elain, as always, you're welcome to borrow as much as you like. Cassian - you ask permission first and keep a ledger of borrowing and returning.

He's been terrible at using the Network, so most of you probably didn't even know he was here. But Sirius Black is gone.

(  Cut for cute animal GIFs!  )

Figures. You make one new friend and the world just whooshes them away. Guess he's back with his dad and he's not bored anymore so that's something

A reminder to any magic practitioners who are looking to start learning about the magic of Vallo (at least what's available) or don't have a safe place to practice on their own here yet. I have space at the back of Uncommon Goods that is always available to other Outlanders if needed.

It comes with tea and snacks because I'm never anywhere without snacks at this point.

I've heard a few people lamenting their lack of cooking skills, here and there. If I offered a few free basic lessons - or less than basic, if someone has something specific they want to learn how to make, provided it's something I'm familiar with or can learn quickly - would anyone have any interest in learning?

Today was a day.

nyx.

That was stupid.

I don't want you getting hurt for me. I'm not worth it

Don't even think of trying to leave the hospital before they say you can or I'll fight you.

galahd staff.

Nyx got hurt, so he won't be working tonight.

I know you guys can handle stuff yourselves, but I figured you'd want to know. It was my fault

noctis.

I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry.

seifer.

Hunt didn't go well.

bev.

Could you bring some McDonalds by the hospital?

Still so weird -
Currently taking recommendations for the best pizza place and things to check out on Netflix.

Hey, guys. I know I said this last night I think it's fuzzy, but I really appreciate everything you've done to help me with the haunting shit. It was a huge risk for all of you just to be there, and it means a lot to me that you were. I don't know how to thank you for that, but I'm gonna try after I lay in bed for another couple hours doing absolutely nothing.

You're the best. 💜 I have hugs I wanna deliver later, but if you'd prefer high fives, that's cool, too. I hope you're all okay.

Heads up if you were looking to come down to Galahd tonight - we'll be opening an hour or so late. Got a bit of a mess to clean up after an attempted gnome goblin robbery.

As well we will be closed Saturday, go check out the fights at the Underground instead.
