I love the (few, but existing) headcanons surrounding Lan Jingyi’s ‘parents’ or who in the MDZS universe could potentially be his parents because they’re so different from my unhinged brain, like I always just assumed he spawned somewhere deep in Gusu’s forests as a mysterious Fae egg and was brought back to the cloud recesses to incubate and hatch as the new chaos gremlin of the Lan clan

my brother recently came out as bi, and my well-meaning but very Mormon parents, without knowing any of the vocabulary they're grasping at,

are basically trying to ask if I think my brother is a top or a bottom

(words also spoken by my father today include "I don't think anyone would ever want to admit to being the dominant one in a relationship")

Allow me to rant about US healthcare for a moment.

I had one (1) emergency room visit last June. It was a very simple visit. Standard blood work, CT scan, IV, and a referral to a gastroenterologist. I have insurance but not very good insurance so still would have been on the hook for somewhere between $1k-2k after everything. I don't make a lot of money and at the time my partner did not have a job. As such, I applied for financial aid from the hospital. Per their guidelines, I qualified for total forgiveness of all bills.

It took me over TWO MONTHS to get the fucking letter saying I qualified. With weekly calls to the hospital billing department. I had to provide paystubs, tax returns, and bank statements going back six months. I received the letter in the mail in SEPTEMBER. It was dated August 31st. Well, I thought to myself, at least it's sorted now and I don't have to worry about any surprise bills from the hospital.

HAHA. HAH. WELL. In OCTOBER I received in the mail two separate bills regarding my JUNE hospital visit. As it turns out, both the doctor I saw that evening and the CT scan/radiologists were both separate entities from the hospital. They just happen to work IN the hospital not FOR the hospital. As such, they did not get the memo that my bill was forgiven. So I call them both up and ask about it. "Yes," they both say giving me false hope, "we do participate in the hospital's financial aid program. Just email us a scanned copy of the financial aid letter and we will forgive the bill." Perfect, I think filled once again with false hope, it's a little annoying I have to do this in the first place but whatever at least it's over now.

I scan the letter. I send off the emails. Happy that this six month ordeal is finally done with. But oh, dear reader, do you remember when I said the letter was dated? That's right! August 31st. Which is not before June. It is, in fact, after! Which means that I just received an email from those billing departments saying that this letter is not sufficient proof that my hospital bill was forgiven.

When I tell you I started crying as I explained this all to my partner today. So now my course of action is to call the billing department of the original hospital, explain the situation, hope to God they can send off an additional letter regarding the June visit specifically, hope to God I receive that letter before these other providers send my bills to collections, and hope to God that this ordeal is over once and for all before 2023. I am currently trying to move. If my already crap credit score gets any worse I'm doomed in the really competitive real estate market I live in. And all this, because I went to the ER one night in June.

(This journey does not include the fact that the HR department of my job mistakenly cancelled my health insurance in August for no reason and with no notification. No I'm not kidding. No the problem is still not resolved. Yes I am looking for a new job.)

Everyone’s excitement is valid.

Everyone’s anxiousness/apprehensiveness is valid.

You can have both feelings at the same time.

In another weird conversation with @shy-sub-j, it was suggested that we need to get another tall wife, though there was some disagreement about whether they should be "taller" or just "tall"

So that last post by Alesis Newman, the one that was locked by "BetterTheNew", was dated January 3 2018. Eight months before her previous post.

The police files on Dr Samuel Webber were dated April 3 2009. Eight months before the date in his journal.

Dr Samuel Webber murdered his ex and then was turned into a tree. We don't know what happened to Alesis Newman's ex before she turned herself into some kind of coral creature, but she was taking bereavement leave at the end. Out of death, something is trying to be born. Or reborn...

...Oh yeah, and let's not even go near this other (lonely, eye-encrusted) rabbithole, let alone down it:

Norris read Dr. Webber's case, about a man who murdered his lover rather than lose her and then was trapped alone in a walled garden, in denial about what he had done and eternally haunted by her voice, with only a small piece of himself remaining aware and perpetually terrified but unable to voice its fear. Cool! Yeah. That's definitely... that's definitely not significant or deeply upsetting in any way.

But Chester... Chester read Alesis Newman's case, about a woman who intentionally destroyed herself in the wake of a lover whom she saw as trying to change her into the person he wanted her to be--and replaced herself with something new and inhuman. Something that has her eyes.

And by post 13, using her paralysis computer, Alesis is writing with her eyes. So is that actually her writing? If it's not, when in that sequence of posts did it stop being her? What does "no longer her" actually mean in this context? Certainly, she's becoming something that the Alesis of eight months earlier, the Alesis of the immediately-deleted fourteenth post, would no longer identify with--if some part of her still existed.

Cool. Yeah. That's definitely not significant... or deeply upsetting... in any way.

OK but I said let's not go down that rabbithole, so let's forget I just said any of that and go back to talking about the post dates, yeah?

Yeah.

So, sometimes some of these cases have some interesting correspondences with TMA statements, so there might be something there. Alesis started that thread, opening up to everyone about her journey to creating a better her, on June 20, 2018. I wonder if there were any TMA statements dated June of 2018?

Case #0181206 (June 12, 2018)

Statement of unknown bystander regarding an encounter with The Archivist.

...Oh.

Okay, well, that's... interesting, but not necessarily meaningful. Let's try this: the last date in her transformation/replacement, the last point where maybe there was still something left of the original "her," was September 3, 2018. Anything interesting happen in TMA in September of 2018?

Case #0182509-A (September 25, 2018)

Original recording of events leading to the disappearances of Jonathan Sims, Martin Blackwood, Alice Tonner and Peter Lukas.

...Ah. Ha. Um. Well, that could also be an interesting coincidence. What about that deleted 14th post that was somehow eight months earlier, back in January? The one with an Alesis who still tried to cry out against the thing she was becoming?

There's nothing in January, but... oh... right.

Case #0170908 (August 7, 2017 )

Statement of Elias Bouchard, regarding the dreams of Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, currently unresponsive.

...

Case #0181502 (February 15, 2018)

Statement of Oliver Banks, regarding his dreams and trying to run away. Statement given directly to Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, currently unresponsive.

...January of 2018, Jonathan Sims was in a coma. September of 2018, the Archivist received the final mark that would enable Jonah's ritual.

January through September of 2018 in the world of Protocol, something was trying to be born into a physical form, replacing Alesis Newman.

Cool, I say through gritted teeth. Yeah. That's definitely not significant, or deeply upsetting, in. any. way.

i know we always talk about eddie getting hard at like the most subtle things because he's such a horny lover boy but i love the thought of him getting a sniff of your perfume somewhere like at the mall or in a crowd, and popping a boner on the spot. because that's your smell and now he's all needy for you, can't stop thinking about you. when you leave his bed and he can still smell you in his sheets. when you borrow his jackets and sweaters and your scent lingers. when you accidentally forget a piece of clothing at his place and he jerks off while sniffing it like a drug.
