BUT ANYWAY

yes actually I think the WHOLE SHOW will be about a sudden and devastating afterlife-altering gay awakening, and thats awesome.

But what I REALLY think is that CHARLES is going to, finally, find out what the Cat King wants, and THATS when he's going to say

EXCUSE ME IF THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS GOING TO HAVE A SUDDEN AND DEVASTATING AFTERLIFE ALTERING GAY AWAKENING ITS GOING TO BE WITH ME THANKS.

also I REALLY want to be posting these things on Tumblr.

[drkoestersmithrpg]

okay yeah so there is that

Deadboy Fan Fic

So I would NOT describe this as a will they/wont they type of relationship, because

they are ALREADY heterosexual life mates with a full commitment to stay together no matter what, and

technically they can't feel/taste/smell anything either, so sex may not even be an option

BUT

well by the time you get to episode two you will know the but.

AND HERE'S THE THING - this show is NOT a will they/wont they, this show is a WILL HE/WONT HE. You have a ghost who clearly doesn't think of male/male sex as an option (and WHAT THAT EVEN IS to a ghost I don't know - I don't even know at this point if they can "take off" their clothes or if they have to appear in the exact same garments at all times) but, in episode two, it becomes clear that it IS an option and a decision that he's going to have to make or be trapped in this city forever... so...

SO THERE IS A LOT OF "going through a process of self-discovery" type fanfic to be written but

ANYONE WHO BINGE WATCHES THE SHOW will know how it turns out. And I am only watching/only want to watch one episode at a time.

SO YEAH IF YOU COULD WATCH IT I WOULD BE SO SO SO GRATEFUL I need someone to talk to about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND if you wanted/had time, we could actually watch the same epiosde on the same night - we could webkinz/chat about it - that would be cool.

LAST POINT

you are right about disguises (did you notice that the medium asked why one of them always becomes a woman? But I didn't notice WHICH one of them it was??) taking their clothes off would be along the same lines.

SO YOUVE MET THE CAT KING thats EXACTLY what I want to talk about.

so spoiler - Edwin will NOT tell Charles what the Cat King wants - and when Edwin THINKS about the Cat King Conversation, he will be thinking ABOUT THE CAT KINGS STOMACH MUSCLES. Look for it.

So YEAH it is OBVIOUS we are having a sudden and devastating afterlife-altering gay awakening. I am SURE that is going to be the point.

AND I'M SURE EDWIN DOESNT WANT TO HAVE IT WITH THE CAT KING. I am SURE, if he is going to have it at all (and it seems clear to me that he could have gone his whole afterlife without one - he and Charles seem perfectly happy with what they have) then he would want to have it with Charles.

AND IT ALSO SEEMS CLEAR TO ME that while, in life, Charles would have been HAPPY to "smash" Edwin, he's also content in a life without smashing anyone. He can't feel or taste anything - but when he talks about what he MISSES it's just spagetti.

NO NO NO essays are EXACTLY what I want!!!

okay here is the thing - THE SHOW IS NOT CONSISTANT AT ALL. Because YES, he DOES touch the medium's hand. But also - did you notice the whole comedy with the books? Edwin can't move from the mirror, so he's ordering Charles to go find books, then orders Charles to READ the books to find the right piece of information...

...and then the book is in America. If the book can move through the mirror, why not have Charles just hand Edwin as many books as he needs? The girl is renting a MASSIVE room (and btw what is she doing for money?!?!) and there is pleanty of room for those books. Also, WHY NOT JUST MOVE THE MIRROR IN THE OFFICE to where Edwin can reach the books?

Like I said - NOT consistant. so yeah - playing with touch/feel rules is obviously a thing that can happen.

Wanna make a date for next weekend? Friday or Saturday night?

OKAY I HAVE 24 MINUTES BEFORE

I have to get ready for bed. Ooops I haven't done ANY of MY schoolwork yet - oh well.

I HAVE been working for HOURS on a reluctant 11th grader's homework - man I know LOTS of details about Eisenhower and the Cold War and Macarthyism than I did before (thats why I LIKE helping him with his history homework) but his English has been BRUTAL. His English teacher assigned 3 COUNT THEM 3 writing assignments about Sports Journalism?!?!?!?!?

Excuse me?!?!? Make me read a dozen Shakespeare plays before you make me read a single paragraph of a sports news conference. Which I had to read to write a summary paragraph about - there was NO POINT in "making" him do it because (a) there is no way to MAKE him do it and (b) I'm sure that would be prevented by Article 3 of the Geneva Convention. And I JUST NOW wrote 150 words about a Sports Journalist and I think I'm owed compensation. (actually what HE does for ME is take all my data about which student knows which Upper Case/Lower Case/Sound of the alphabet and puts it all on a chart for me - he likes this kind of data crunching and has done it before.)

OH WAIT i didn't tell you the BIG news!!

So what we DID do for Easter was - go to Crackerbarell like always. My youngest son joined us, which he does sometimes.

AND THIS IS THE BIG NEWS.

My youngest son put on a mask for the pandemic and never took it off. He wore it indoors and outdoors for years. Never took it off at home. Wore it during meals. I'm not sure if he took it off to bathe or sleep.

It was about this time that it became obvious that he was on the autism spectrum (actually my OLDEST son insists THE ENTIRE FAMILY is. Definatly my father and brother are, and my eldest says *I* absolutely am, but anyway.) And hiding behind the mask seemed to just be a thing that made him feel better about life, and it wasn't exactly a bad habit (I still mask up when I go shopping and when I go into the facilities that my MIL and dad live at. I also mask up EVERY RECESS DUTY but that is because of alergies.)

What I'm saying is it had been SO LONG since I had seen my child's face, once he let it slip and I saw that he had GROWN AN ENTIRE BEARD. (He's 17 right now. He masked up permanently at 14.) His father had to teach him to shave.)

So - on Easter - on March 31rst - he went to the restaurant with us barefaced. No mask. He even let me take a pic for the family.

Since then he's been going to church without his mask. He didn't wear it with the group when we saw the eclipse. And he went to Crackerbarrel today without it too.

This is a BIG DEAL. Seeing his face. And it's NOT just that he has no mask - he is also sitting in a restaurant with his shoulders down, instead of around his shoulders. He still wears a long-sleeve sweater everywhere, but taking off the mask is such a big deal. It is blessing #31 on my list.

[drkoestersmithrpg]

well this sucks

I'm very sick. Throwing up and nasty diarrhea. pretty damn miserable.

Saw a litle bit of faire on Friday. I'm going to try to go a loittle tomorrow to at least do some shopping.

Everything sucks.

[drkoestersmithrpg]

I'm sorry your day sucked - I hope next week is awesome. **IF** you ahve time and it will cheer you up, you can go on Tumtum Wabe and see what I've done with the Rockinghorse Forest (you pointed out that Rockinghorse Fly would be happy there, so I made a house for him.)

OR YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT as long as it makes life better!!! : )

[drkoestersmithrpg]

[drkoestersmithrpg]

Yes, yes, YES!

It doesn't have to be a full blown story, let alone a novel. It can just be that paragraph, that what-if rant. It can be a story completely in bullet points!!! (I LOVE that!)

@von--gelmini posted stories that were sometimes between 100-200 words. He also posted his moodboards there. People are still reading them today. Ao3 is the place to be!!

ARCHIVE YOUR FIC ON AO3 FOR ETERNAL GLORY

It physically pains me to see people post awesome fanfiction to tumblr and nowhere else. Tumblr moves so fast! By tomorrow people who didn’t look in a tag at the right moment won’t know it existed. By next week even people who did read it won’t be able to find it back to reread. Finding anything on tumblr via search function is practically a fluke. For all intents and purposes, your hard work has a halflife of about a week at most.

PUT YOUR WORK ON AO3 WHERE IT CAN LIVE ETERNALLY, I BEG YOU

People who come into that fandom in a month, a year, even a decade will be able to find your work!

People can bookmark it!

People can rec it to others!

People can reread it into infinity! (and people like me can do that and comment every time!)

You can get comments & kudos until the endtimes because people will keep finding your work! (seriously I still sometimes get new people finding and loving my work from ~2013)

And best of all, people can SUBSCRIBE to your work so they will get email about new chapters and stories! (I’m seeing people do manual ‘Tag you in the next chapter’ lists and seriously, physical pain, this wheel has already been invented and it is rolling beautifully)

PLEASE LET ME BOOKMARK YOUR FIC I BEG YOU

“But I need an invite for AO3!”

Yes, and the waiting list is currently 2-3 days. That’s hardly worth not doing this for, right?

“But I only read fic, I don’t post it”

here is a post on why having an account just to read fic is also very worth it!

Lately I’ve been the tumblr person who jumps onto people who post cool fic to tumblr and going HEY HAVE YOU POSTED THIS TO AO3, YOU REALLY SHOULD, HIT ME UP FOR AN INVITE CODE and I hereby invite all you fellow fic readers and posters to join me into spreading the good word.

Please reblog this and tag your favourite fandoms and pairings! Spread this post to the people who need to see it! Save great fic from the tumblr void!

[drkoestersmithrpg]

Okay okay - OKAY. This is an AMAZING story - and I can't tell anyone because I don't want to embarss this person. But DAMN what a story. So I'll tell you. IT's a secret.

SO OBVIOUSLY this person contact me and said that -it was about THIS post

(which I was AWARE I was hijacking when I wrote it, and really I should just JUST reposted with "Imagine your OTP" and left it at that.) So I wasn't VERY annoyed by the request - actually Ithought it was pretty polite. AND I'm ALWAYS admiring of ANYONE who is good at putting up boundries. So I replied the way I did.

Of course I was a little eyebrow-raisy about the "Pro Ship" but I let that go.

THEN I saw that ON THEIR BLOG they posted "I'm going to have to make a DNI list, I just got reblogged by a Starker blog!" And I thought "No prob, I'll just unfollow you."

AFTER we have THIS conversation:

and then we proceed to have A WHOLEASS CONVERSATION ON THE TOPIC which I move to TheLowlyStyleite where IT CONTINUES.

And the best part? Later they TOOK DOWN the post about accidentally interating with a Starker board.

I just find this all very funny (and also I win for getting to have a cool conversation about Hephaestus and ancient Roman blacksmiths) but mostly I'm just proud I made someone re-think their policy on Interacting With Proshippers.

AND O M G

do NOT let me forget, tomorrow, to tell you THIS story

AND MORE GOOD NEWS my dad gained ANOTHER pound (and he's strong enough to walk the dog outside again, although still not keeping up lively conversations, which is unnerving, but still, he's gained 7 pounds all told, and that's good.)

I had an AMAZING weekend

I actually had enough free time to go to a vigil (which I posted) where I got to see friends and hang out outside. I got all my taking-care-of-people done AND got to sleep late in the process.

And then my dad gave me MORE OLD COINS?!?!? (Although not a lot of old quarters, but a TON of state quarters, plus some foreign coins) and, as I posted, as soon as I was done talking to you I looked out the window and saw th emost dramatic Orange Moon.

And now I wake up to Webkinz In Space!?!?!? So exciting.

[drkoestersmithrpg]

oh no, I never get those. I never drink without SERIOUS hydrating - sometimes multi-day hydrating. (I've been waiting for this moment for A WHILE.

No I just very suddenly felt like going to bed. It was only 5 pm.

Now I'm enjoying Corned Beef And Cabbage - this is a family tradition at St Patricks Day - and feel like I could probably stay up for a few more hours.

My goal this week was

to try daydrinking.

these results are....

....mixed.

[drkoestersmithrpg]

hmmmm... you have a point. That WAS a good pun. Except I'm drinking straight wine. My literral brain...

but now I'm eating corned beef and cabage so things wil probably get better
