I mean I guess I don't.

Not everybody! Lying makes me feel gross. I'd do it more if I could, but I can't really! So!!! Yeah!!!

I guess not. I [...]

[...]

Why do you want to marry my best friend?

Hm.

How do you know all of someone's thoughts?

Everyone says that, too.

What implications? It was never meant to be a big thing! You're the one who made it that way. That's not on me, now is it?

[irlsunbeam]

Insects of any sort, but I am not against birds!! I just wish I had wings.

:(

How about you?

@irlsunbeam replied to your post “If you could have one weird/cool non human...”:

Right! Yes! Wings would be so cool to have!!

​That's a lot of exclamations. That's what I'm saying. You into butterfly wings, or birds?

[irlsunbeam]

Yes please! I'd like that. I mean, I think bad stuff supposedly can happen if you meet a stranger, but I don't think that's going to happen! I hang out a lot of places. I like Wheekly Special and I like the library and also outdoors pretty much anywhere! I'll bring Obie when we hang out!

I mostly use it to get stuff for my friends and stuff. Or donate it. Capitalism does suck.

You did??! That is so cool!! He's amazing, isn't he? I adore him! He deserves the very very best there is.

Well then, why don't we? What could go wrong with meeting a nice stranger you met online? Nothing, that's what. Cause I'm super friendly. Where's your usual hanging spot? I move around a whole lot, such is the life of a busy gal, but I can defo squeeze some time to meet ya! I would love a puppy. I've been thinking of a dachshund named requiem would fit our fam so well <3 I would love to meet Obie!

Money is so nice <3 Sucks about capitalism, though. You'd better use it for good and spoil all your buddies!

All of those are super good qualities to have, yup. Your Henri is so lucky to have someone looking out for him like that. OH! I'm pretty sure I met him recently btw, lovely guy. I can defo see why you love him so much.

[irlsunbeam]

[pm] I did buy pjs that we could match in... they are snoopy themed with ice cream! [link] But I am good with anything! I don't think Henri could forget who you are. I talk about you legit all the time!!

[user inserts another Mamma Mia gif]

I LOVE YOU MORE!!! I'll never let the sun hurt you!!! At least I'll do my very very best. The sun loves you a lot.

[text] Yay!!! I'll bring my pjs. And omg of course!!! I haven't seen Henri in so long...do you think he forgot who I am??? What if he catches on and knows what I am????

[user inserts Mamma Mia gif]

I LOVE YOU TOO 🥺🥺🥺 I don't think I've ever used sunglasses in my life...I mean I know the sun gets bright sometimes, but I also know it's not trying to hurt me!

[irlsunbeam]

[pm] Oh. I like that name. It makes me smile.

Okay! When are we fighting? I'll happily challenge you. Maybe I'll let you win!! Never :) :) :)

What petitions are they this time?

Right, but the British like to steal stuff that was never supposed to be theirs. I love the environment a lot -- air pollution is one of the worst things humans have done, but I also don't think the British should have so much stuff that they got through robbery.

[...] A phooey sort of silver lining indeed. Tarnished, even.

[pm] DE NADA, Estella la Estrella

I can't stop you? I'll fight you. This is my moment to put to use all those years of judo. Piss off ! :) :) :)

It is like reverse thievery which is thievery and I cannot stand for it, unfortunately. This being said, happy to hear you'll be signing my department's petitions next time you stop by. Then, if all things are in the British Museum, we don't have to ruin the planet by going everywhere by plane. The carbon print is immaculate, etc. Talk about a crap silverlining to all this.

[irlsunbeam]

Are you being sarcastic?

Of course I wrap them and of course they are appropriately sized! I would be cruel if I neglected to do either of those things. They are wrapped with biodegradable paper, too.

I hope so too. :)

@irlsunbeam replied to your post “would you love yourself if you were a worm?”:

Worms are really cool, too!! I have some in my garden and I take them inside and give them presents sometimes!!

​This is, without question, the most sincere expression of benevolent nonsense I’ve read all week. Brava.

I hope you wrap the presents. I hope they are appropriately sized too.

I hope, somewhere in their tiny, underground bound minds, your garden worms know they are adored.

[irlsunbeam]

I do guess.

It's just if it is all they think about!! [ user is stressed ]

Right, but I mean it.

I just don't love the implications that come with being called Tinkerbell. I'm not her kind of fae

You guess?

I don't see why people say that. People are allowed to like how they look and enjoy seeing it. It doesn't make anyone a bad person.

Everyone says that.

Why does anyone call anyone anything? It was just something to say. The bloke at the gas station's never declared war against me for calling him bruv, so I didn't think random nickname assignment was where Americans drew the line.

[irlsunbeam]

How do you feel about nudity? Nudists?

I think everyone is allowed to do what they wish! It can feel nice to be naked! But also there's rules and like, social awareness! So you shouldn't force your nudity on other people without their consent. But I feel good about it! It's a natural way of being! Nudists are good in my book too! It can just feel really nice -- and it's fun!

[irlsunbeam]

[text] Yes I love this for us!!! You can sleep over even if it doesn't get too late!! I want Monica time!!! Maybe Henri could join us for dinner? Also yes. Always. To Mamma Mia.

THANK YOU I LOVE YOU!!!! I hope you have a beautiful day too!! You deserve it because you are the best!!! 🎂🎂💞💞💞💞☀️☀️☀️☀️🥳🥳🥰😙😗😎 (even though sunglasses can be rude to the sun, sometimes, but I get that some people have to use them!!)

[text] ABSOLUTELY!! I'm literally on my way right now so please save a purple popsicle for me!!! Should we watch Mamma Mia...and then maybe if it gets late I can sleep over?? 🥺

Annnnnd I was going to wait to tell you in person but I can't wait! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BEAUTIFUL ESSIE 🥳🎂🍾🎈 I hope you have the most amazing day ever, which you will because I'm on my way to make sure you do!

[irlsunbeam]

[pm] THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Like, I am super gonna do it. You can't stop me. Oh. Nice nickname. I am proud of you for using an emoji. Here for you for help through this rough time if you need it :) :) :)

Yeah, actually, fair. What if we steal from museums and bring things back to places that museums stole them from? :D I mean [...] it's like reverse thievery. So I think it's okay. I don't wanna break rules but I don't like when people steal from places and then make money on those things.

Unrelated, how tricky do you think it'd be to break into the British Museum?

(This does mean more travel for us.)

[pm] HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUN RAY ! 😭What is even super paying ? You made me use an emoji, Esty !

......... We are not buying artifacts that should be in museums for people to admire. Not okay.

[irlsunbeam]

Estella receives a shadow box for her 23rd birthday. In which Henri has assembled trinkets and shared memories in the shape of objects, music and landmarks of their friendship.

There’s sand from the beach where they’d go to as kids along with sea shells he had picked up back when he was 7 years old and who were sitting in his childhood bedroom on a shelf ever since. 

The backdrop is sheet music to a song that she kept singing on loop when they were in middle school. (Maybe it's Call Me Maybe, who knows, not me)

Dried flowers pressed in between two glass panels (…. he snipped those from her garden two weeks ago)

He also got her a sun silver charm for her Pandora bracelet.  There’s no note, (he thinks) he’s bad at those. He doesn’t sign either, but he knows she’ll know. ☀️

[irlsunbeam]

[pm] Nuh-uh, I'm at least paying for the plane tickets. If we're doing it once you finish your PhD then I am super paying because it would be in celebration of you!!!

But I still want to go this summer. And pay for the plane tickets. You can buy me gelato! I won't buy you a legit 10000000 year old artifact unless you really want me to. Okay?

@irlsunbeam replied to your post “[pm] We're still on for Italy this summer yeah????”:

[pm] I just think you could use a break! And you can still do your work there, at least some of it. I'll go to every historical place you wanna go to! I just think you should get to eat REAL gelato and go on a first class flight and do other stuff that is a treat for you!!

​[pm] I can have a break when I'm done with my PhD. I don't want you to pay for everything. I'm paying my own things if we go.

[irlsunbeam]

[text] I love hearing it also!! And I love saying it!!!

I mean, anything with you is fun!! You should come over though. We can have popsicles and lay outside in the sun and then maybe watch movies!!!!

[text] Yay I'm so glad! I mean I already knew that, but I still love hearing it every time!! You are my best friend too! 🫵🥰

AND DUHHHH OF COURSE!!! Anything you want, Miss Queen of Summer!!

[irlsunbeam]

Oh! That one looks questionable important! What if I write you a check to send to them? Like, off the internet. Please don't get scammed you seem nice

Yes, it's just a part of who I am, and always has been! Do you like flowers?

[User links to a cause meant to defeat Big Milk. It's an obvious scam.] This one is important, I think. Also environmentalist and anti-war ones.

You weren't rude. It is nice when people are passionate. I don't meet a lot who are passionate about the sun!

[irlsunbeam]

They appreciate this!

[pm] Henri, don't go advertising that you've got a TikTok out on main!!! I thought what we had was special. :( (This is a joke!!! Hehehhehehe!!) (It is) (But also be careful out there) (Did you know that there are really weird thirst traps out on the internet???) I did see it though!! Yes!!

I mean, I think it's 'cause smoothies are the whole fruit blended all up, but juicing just takes the juice from the fruit. Which is much lamer, if you ask me!

Your elevated eyebrows have been noted.

Did you see the recipe I sent you on TikTok ?I still don't get the difference between a smoothie and a juice. Nutrition wise, I mean.

[irlsunbeam]

[pm] I am sure Future Cat will love this.

I mean, I tell him everything. Why are you 'haha'-ing? I don't think he sees you as a grandpa. Or now uncle. He isn't fae! So you are only my uncle-figure. Not his.

[pm] Absolutely! I'll even bring it a toy or two.

Wait, no, I don't want to be related to your brother too haha go for it

[irlsunbeam]

I guess.

No! I don't think so. I just think looking at yourself all the time is sus. I like how I look well enough too. I didn't say Ugh

I don't break any of them.

But why did you call me Tinkerbell in the first place?!? Just because I believe magic can be real?

Of course, but not everyone can be.

And when someone doesn't do it at all? Is there some moral superiority to be found in not liking the way you look? I like how I look. I don't think that makes me a bad person.

Well, you certainly won't break this one!

What names have I called you? Tinkerbell? That wasn't meant as an insult. In fact, I think we've established that I like Tinkerbell.
