i have a very stupid problem that is causing me a very stupid amount of distress. my aunts are planning my baby shower which will be in my home city (a place where none of my friends live). we are inviting a bunch of family and tbh it's solely so i can get stuff from my registry. i feel okay about that part because i've bought gifts for all the extended family baby showers and weddings over the years and it seems fine to be like 'ok now it's my turn i really need the help.' the part that is making me feel weird is that my aunts feel strongly that i should ALSO send invites to all of my out of town friends, including college and grad school friends, because those people might send me gifts too. i think that a lot of my friends WILL end up buying something from my registry or sending something (a lot of them have asked already!) and that's very nice of them!!! and i do think i might want to send a birth announcement or something later just as a "hey! a big thing happened in my life!" kinda thing. but i feel super uncomfortable sending out invites to an event i know they can't attend (and would never expect them to fly to a random city for!!) because then it just feels obvious that i'm asking for a gift instead, and that makes me feel bad!!! but also idk my brother and SIL just had a MASSIVE shower where like 50+ of their friends came (because they went to college in our hometown and all their friends still live there) and my cousin just had a big shower too (she lives and works in our hometown) so i also just feel dumb for like. having a very small kinda lame shower where my extended family is gonna be like oh... does she not have any friends?

Psst so if you've been paying attention to my tags lately, I'm working on another project alongside @the-harvester [which is a co-op story I write with Corrie!]
If ya like giant/tiny, size difference, fantasy, dragons, superheroes, character-driven story, angst, fluff, gay stuff- or just want to see cool art, this is the story for you! <3
It's homed over here at @find-your-wings >w>
It's still a wip! It's a solo project, so its development has been slow. But I figure I'd plug it here if anyone is interested in following it~

Hi all! So as my bio says, I'm running two other tournaments currently (@galavant-song-tournament and @indie-queer-movie-tournament) and the latter will take me until May to finish with but then I should have time for this. I'll make a proper intro post then as well and set up a bracket and whatnot. Basic info for anyone interested: I'll be including every published book written (or co-written) by Terry Pratchett, no matter if it's a novel, non-fiction, short story, or what. So submissions aren't necessary. I won't do plays or other media not published originally as a book. I'll accept propaganda at any time; I'll just file it away for now to use later so it's no trouble that we won't start for ages. (Also if someone's already done this bracket let me know; a quick search and I didn't find anything but idk, I only see some fandom content and could easily have missed it.)

It’s time to return to Episode 15! I’ll most likely respond to the messages I have regarding Episode 14 soon, but I’m very excited to continue the episode, so let’s do that.
(A quick note to the anon who sent some fanfic recommendations and the one who sent in a message regarding something in Episode 14, I’ve been advised to put your messages aside for later just to be on the safe side. I’ll take a look at them a little later on!)
Also, I just want to give a general heads-up: liveblogging posts may be a bit sporadic over the next few days, as there are some other things occupying my time at the moment, but I’d rather do a little bit of liveblogging than none at all. I appreciate everyone’s patience!
And now, we return to...
Gus! Who’s experiencing a very relatable woe.
Are you sure crime couldn’t solve your problems..?
I’m appreciating the line-up we have here:
the security guys (”NOPE”)
conspiracy theory head lady: author edition (”UNAVAILABLE”)
Beefy Bob (status unknown at present)
Principal Bump
Braxas
vampire guy
Owlbert (”CUTE HOOT!”)
eyeball guy
Bat Queen
I think this is the specific abomination the abomination track professor uses to carry him around?

Hope that all of you Tighnari / rerun wanters will be havers when 3.0 drops tonight! Writing in my end may be sparse, but I'll comment a few things here and there of the lore and story for sure. I was considering how to do it and I think that I’ll go back to using the #genshin spoilers tag without the read more feature as I’ve seen some people adding tags but not doing the latter and people being okay with it.

This place is cursed
I cannot write Old Guard fic, I have so many WIPs to show for it. I love the movie, I feel fannish about it in a way I haven’t done in years, but the fic fights me tooth and nail.
I have put an ending on September’s Old Guard/Young Wizards femmeslash, and this is a victory. Congratulate me.

OKAY SO BOOM EVERYTHING IS DONE AND IN THE QUEUE
and I’m gonna open the askbox in a sec, but I do also have a problem, I don’t know if anyone can help me-
that vanished ask never returned even once I cleared out my drafts, so I made it into a separate post and moved it up in the queue to hopefully be about where it should have been originally
but my drafts on the sidebar are still showing “1″, and when I open my drafts, it says there are none available
which is going to screw me up because I’m always gonna have to mentally correct myself and remind myself that I have one less draft than I think I do
I don’t know why but that is the kind of thing which just fucks with my brain, no idea why but I Do Not Like it
anyone have any advice? like, if not I can deal with it, but it’s just Very Very Irritating to my brain for some reason :/
