The Secret Meta (On Hiatus)*

I'm not coming back fully yet, Tumblr is the only place I'm posting for now.

@thesecretmeta · Metta's Cozy Yapping Place I write, I art, I play games. This is just a place to ramble. I am shy, but friendly!

I picked a bad time to pop my head back in. But then again, it's social media in 2025. There's never really a good time.

I can't deal with the chaos of microblogging yet, so I'm turning my Tumblr into a cozy Animal Crossing blog where I'll be designing a new island. ❤️🐊

Join me here, if you like!

I'm working on it! ❤️🐊

Currently taking an extended break from social media to focus on writing, art, and health! I'm okay, I just want my best self back after years of self-neglect. 👍

Don't doomscroll. Drink water. Rest your eyes and stretch. Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Practice radical self-care. 💙

...I am leaving the internet for the rest of the week. Thank you. You have freed me.

Take care, see ya'll on Monday.

I have never been so disappointed about a brand I hate leaving BS lol I missed my chance too

I feel Voxel Art is not getting enough recognition.
Say no to AI, and say yeah to real art.

Adobe was here and I missed the chance to bully them... Dang. 😩

All's well that ends well, at least.

Have fun!

A cat in a loving home. I curl up in the sunshine and pester my owners to feed me salmon. Sounds wonderful. 😸

That's ridiculous... I'm so sorry

Probably not going to pick up any carnivorous plants. I'm not experienced enough yet. I'm gonna kill those poor things.

It'd be a special order online too since my local shops don't really stock them. So not dealing with all that rn. I don't want something to die in the mail on the way to me...

My photogenic Scottish Terrier named Finnley!

I managed to sprout 1 sunflower seed despite the squirrels. iirc, it's a Teddybear Sunflower! I have Mammoth Sunflowers too that I've gotten to grow taller than me, but the hurricanes last year blew them over.

That post was so stupid I don't even know how to process it. I keep forgetting it happened. Absolute Brain Rejection.

Wellp. I don't have anything on Gumroad but sharing this just in case any of my followers do.

Probably this, tbh.

At least somebody has some sense around here.
Now, what are they going to DO about it?

Whoa. Now THAT'S a cake!

WOW. I wish I'd seen this sooner. Literally just found out about it last night.

But I can't wait to see what comes of this.

This sounds amazing.

I was about to say, I swear I saw an ad for these things last year. Not crazy after all!

Ew. No. Bad journalism.

Just realized a lot of my posts are about food... it's because I tend to post when I'm hungry, because I'm bored waiting on food.

I love how almost every single time, the censorship makes everything look so much worse than it is.

Babies shouldn't be on the internet, but it's a little too late for that now I suppose...

I still think it'd be even better with MSG, but it's satisfying enough as is.

Btw that chili oil is pricy, but it's by far the best spicy cooking thing I've ever gotten. I do understand why so many people want to make their own though...

I have successfully recreated "Spicy Addictive Cucumber." It's spicy, and addictive!

Flaky salt, sesame oil, chili oil (the good stuff) and "mini seedless cucumbers." I just eyeball the amounts, tbh, but it didn't take long to dial in. Be careful with the oils, but use plenty of salt.

I hate seeing these. The Devil has enough advocates.

Nice!

Brother is a great brand! Which one is this?
