@strangetree replied to your post “Minutes Since I was last in absolute fucking agony...”:

They're there for two weeks after the story ends! Two weeks of pure unbridled Becca taunting! I need this in my veins.

​Yeah like, in the epilogue chapter we learn that what happens immediately after the main story is Celosia is with Phoebe and Jazz in the maintenance deck for a long time, and when she finally carried them down she bumped into a LOT of people in the lobby who were VERY excited to see them all together like that because they INSTANTLY figured out what (finally) happened.

Several things very obviously must have happened after this point.

Becca Dextris teases them both RELENTLESSLY, especially Phoebe, and they all become friends

Jupiter talks to Berberi and admits SHE is ready to become a floret. She probably fucking begs to have her implant like the same day, and technically Cestro Umbrae is probably qualified to do it

There is probably also a LOT of very affectionate warm welcomes to PHOEBE ESPECIALLY at actually becoming a part of the Compact for real. Everyone loved her throughout the story. The entire hotel knows (as of Chapter 10) that she was basically made for this. She's a perfect fit for life as a floret, and EVERYONE knows it.

And they would eagerly and enthusiastically welcome her to it. Probably to a level that's a bit overwhelming and Celosia has to put her foot down and insist they give the poor girl some space, but I'd be willing to bet that BECCA IN PARTICULAR makes sure they stay in contact, and would be more than happy to help them get used to everything about their new lives.

And they DEFINITELY fuck.

Jupiter too, she was MAD horny for Amaranth in Doll Mode.

But GOD I really need to READ all of this happening instead of just imagining it, you know?

The story has such an incredibly HOPEFUL tone to it. This is the life Phoebe was made for. This is everything that's right for her. This is a life that's going to make her happy and fulfilled.

I just want to read actual chapters where we get to see the poor girl coming to terms with BEING happy. Learning all the stuff she didn't know yet about life in the Compact, and realizing she loves it.

And get that girl a goddamn MIRROR! She's been on Class Gs for days now, she NEEDS to literally SEE her reflection as a better, happier version of herself.

If The Grand Folia Hotel, as we have it now, is the story of Phoebe learning how to LEAVE her old life, I want a sequel where we get the story of Phoebe leaning how to THRIVE in her new one.

And I absolutely want Becca Dextris to be there to help her learn the ropes, because she was SUCH a good character and had such good chemistry with all of them.

And she was turbo thirsty for Phoebe. She would LOVE being able to bring out Amaranth.

I really want to see all of them just living together on the Phellos.

It is time to unleash my full nerd in a personal, real life post. Bear with me as I simp very hard about Eddie Redmayne.

On Thursday, May 9, I sat in the front row stage side table seating at Cabaret on Broadway. It was a spectacular performance from the whole cast, and I’m so, so sad that I couldn’t take any photos of the theater or performance itself. Being literally in touching distance of the stage meant that the cast heavily interacted with us throughout the night. The pinnacle of this interaction was the multiple times Eddie made prolonged eye contact with me. Then there’s the fact that he was a few feet away from me—close enough to count freckles, see the droplets of sweat on his skin, see the ribs on his bare torso, and generally breathe the same air.

The show was incredible, and I do recommend going if you get the chance.

After the show, I immediately launched myself to the stage door waiting area. My phone camera chose that moment to be absurd and not function, but I had already told my friend to video the whole encounter just in case. Not only did I get my playbill signed, but Eddie *recognized* me from the show and seemed genuinely…pleased to see me??? That gave me the opportunity to say what I had been mulling over in my head since I bought these tickets in October.

Yes, I mentioned Like Minds. And here, for your viewing pleasure, is his reaction. I’m only barely visible in this video, as my friend (@strangetree) tried to make sure Eddie was on camera the whole time. You can see me briefly at the beginning on the left side of the frame, and even get a glimpse of my Nigel lock screen. Due to my phone being stupid, I regret I was unable to get a selfie with him. But I feel like I won at everything else last night, so it’s not the end of the world. To be clear, I didn’t say anything at all to elicit his initial reaction—I was just standing there quietly.

Pro tip: it pays to go all out on your attire for a play. During the pre show in the amazing bars at the theater, the show’s photographer asked to snap pics of me and my friend for the show’s official website.

@marlowe-zara sending me a winner. Six non-selfies? More likely than you think.

Tagging: @iamgalicia, @theoryofwhatnow, @melrocs21, @godisg4y, @randomrabbys, @strangetree and all the rest of you weirdos. Show us what you got! (If anyone ever wonders, I just go through my most recent activity and tag people I've seen in my notes. I really do want to see anyone else's stuff too, though!)

Challenged by @virgo-dream to post 6 non-selfie photos from my camera roll. You are lucky i just came back from a Miami trip haha. But i do tend to take pictures of very random things.

I'll tag... @seiya-starsniper @five-and-dimes @tj-dragonblade @beatnikfreakiswriting @withoutyouimsaskia @dreeeam-diary ❤️

Yaaayyy, thanks for that tag! Here's a 10 year difference. @gali-in-distress, @orangegaytorade @starphob1a @strangetree @protoflipyeahaudge and anyone else who wants to join in.

It is my birthday in 2 days and as someone who is *ahem* maybe a little to old to still be on tumblr, I thought I’d make a lil tag game, I love lil picrews and it’s fun way to “face reveal” without showing my face

So as i reminisce over my bdays I made a side by side of how I looked 10 years ago vs now (and by god do I feel old)

Me in my teenage years vs me in my twenties.

From emo kid to weird goth mortician….

Link to Picrew but feel free to use whichever one you want or draw one yourself!

Feel free to add yours and don’t feel obligated if you get tagged
