This describes my girlfriend. She sees a miniature hammer at a store and gushes about how cute it is. She collects trinkets like a crow.
Is her name Raven? Does she have obsidian plumage and a large beak?
And do crows frequently attack her?
Does she command scores of armies at a whim, millions of black shadowed death daggers swooping to cast her foes to ghost in blanketed silence muffled only be the screams of her victims?
collecting trinkets is so fun
i wish temu wasn't run on slave labour, there're so many little trinkets there
We have garbage at home!
but do we have 10 barely working calligraphy pens? 🥺
Probably
Sugarman is legit one of my favorite figures because he is so ugly.
Kind of adorable that the last poster's boyfriend knows her well enough to know that she wanted the lime.
I bet he clocked that thing as something they were buying, possibly even before she saw it lol
She sounds ~~impossible~~ sensitive enough that he's probably ~~always on high alert~~ mindful of her needs
I've done similar things with my fiancee. She's extremely emotive and oblivious though, so it makes it easy on me to notice stuff that is either bothering her or that she wants. When I go to the store alone I usually get her whatever candy she was eyeing last time we went together. She still doesn't know how I know what she was craving.
Dude's a legend
A the discount grocery store I buy the cereal box that is banged up. I'll open it to verify the bag inside is still air tight, but if the only issue is the cosmetic box itself I don't care and will buy it. If I don't, then its possible the beaten up box will be discarded from being non-sold. Increased shrink (retail term for product that doesn't get sold) will mean prices go up on everything and possibly the workers don't get raises (or not as big a raise) to cover the loss.
I'm fine with a beaten up box if it means my price stay low and workers get raises.
I've been buying the crushed Chaos boxes for MTG cards at my local Walmart this year. These things have probably been sitting in storage forever instead of being sent back but I grab them when I see them. They've been real good to me. I pulled a Rhystic Study, Ragavan, Ao the sky dawn, and a Junji the Midnight Sky out of them this summer.
Same with fruit. Who cares if the apple has a brown spot if it gets eaten the same day?
This reminds me of the children's book Corduroy about a stuffed animal that gets left on the shelf because his overalls are missing a button. I blame that book for my irrational dedication to inanimate objects.
What's a teamaker? Do they mean a teapot?
Maybe something like a Teasmade, which you can set to make tea at a certain time, like a caffeinated alarm clock.
i was a teamaker today
I'm a little teamaker
As a woman I can relate. Sometimes the hormones boil and we start doing shit like this. And don't even get me started on ad breaks. That shit is saaad
