GUYS. GUYS.

None of this is going to make any sense if you're not, like, deep in the knitting fandom BUT LISTEN

THOSE ARE MY SOCKS. I DESIGNED THOSE SOCKS. THE YARN HARLOT LIKES MY SOCKS. THE YARN HARLOT HAS KNIT MY SOCKS. THE YARN HARLOT LIKES MY UNUSUAL SOCK CONSTRUCTION.

I AM GOING TO DIE. I can't take this kind of validation I am not meant to handle this sort of positivity 😭😭😭

wanna hear the story of how i found out my school has a prom committee?

so, my school has this pop-up prom shop (got a few dresses suits etc) that's technically run by a teacher at our school, but most of the time i'm the one behind the actual functionality (yes i do this for CAS but it's also fun yk). a few weeks ago, the teacher in charge asked if i wanted to be a part of a prom presentation with a few other students and i said yes.

we organised the presentation. it was actually today, went pretty well. but in the planning stages, we kept having these meetings with the group of students and the teacher in charge. eventually, the teacher in charge referred to us as the prom committee.

and that's when it clicked.

i was a part of the prom committee

that is how i learned we had a prom committee

i had no idea we had a prom committee until i realised i was on it

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!
