I signed my lease at my new place today! Now I need to go to the water office at some point and turn on the water/trash service, and I'll be all set to move in on the 15th. And lemme tell ya I am so ready. I catch myself fantasizing about the most boring stuff ever - taking naps on my couch, reading on the porch, cooking whenever I'd like, cleaning with bleach and other chemicals, pooping with the bathroom door open, deep cleaning behind things and in the corners, showering with the bathroom door open, playing video games for hours, baking cakes, keeping the temperature where I'd like it to be, not having a dirty-wheeled bike hanging over my couch, doing aerobics in the liminal space where the kitchen and living room meet in my lil open-plan duplex. I really like this new duplex's layout way more than my old one too because the bedrooms are on the outside walls instead of on the inside ones, so the only thing on the other side of the wall from me is the outdoors. Our living room and kitchens are butted up to each other and I'll take that any day over having to hear my casually racist Spanish neighbors fucking in the middle of the day while I'm trying to pot nap.
My roommate seems to be calming down (she's started speaking to me again), but she's also doing passively aggressive things like turning the heat down lower and lower. When I came back from SF she was in there with the heat on 66 while it was below freezing outside, if you need an indication of how she keeps it. Always burning hot in the summer, always freezing cold in the winter. Honestly she just needs to live alone again. She's very particular about certain things and isn't great at compromising. I'm the exact same way, and I am willing to cough up a few extra bucks in service of being at peace in my home. She makes way more money than me and I'm fairly certain that she can afford the rent and bills on her own. Hahahahaha I bet that I'm gonna do all of this scrambling to find her a new roommate just for her to tell me "actually I'm gonna live alone / my dude is gonna move in" or something. She's been seeing this guy for a good lil' minute anyway - take the plunge!
All of that is one note. I'm gonna have my own place again soon, and just in time for summer. I was really dreading having to do another summer in that house (for real she wants the air on like 77 in Georgia in the summer) so I'm incredibly happy to have found this place. The yard is pretty much a dust bowl but that's okay, I'll probably plant vegetables and herbs once spring gets here proper. I just have no words. It'll be more expensive, sure, but it'll also be worth every penny.

How are we feeling about the season 3 announcement???? ✨
To quote Pride and Prejudice “completely and perfectly and incandescently happy”!!! Also massively relieved. Like, yes, Neil had said he would finish the story one way or another but come on. We NEEDED to see David and Michael act it out, especially after The Final Fifteen traumatized us all. Ending the tv show there on such a dramatic cliffhanger would have been awful. So the fact that Neil gets to tell the complete story the way he (and Terry) planned, with two of the best actors in the game doing what they do, just sends me over the moon!
I was listening to the playlist Prime put out (Spotify here and Apple Music here) yesterday and it made me cry so I know I’m gonna be a blubbery fucking mess when the season ends with them sharing soft kisses in the summer rain under the canopy of their wings in their South Downs cottage garden. Go listen to The Book of Love (one of the three Neil put on the list, along with Cry Me a River and The Show Must Go On) and tell me that’s not how it’s gonna go down. Ughhh now I’m crying again lol.

I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your crocodile dad au content not only because I think it's a really fun idea with all the dynamics between tiny luffy and everyone else, but also because of how you show the very real and ugly part of being trans and closeted. the conversations, the feelings, yo really nail it. thank you for the awesome art and writing!!
ooh thank you!!! ;_;
im so glad and relieved you like these parts, i was worried how people would react to some good old trans struggles. i had been wanting for a while to explore, and i guess lowkey vent, about being closeted and how going stealth sometimes feels a lot like walking back inside a closet but this time of your own (accidental) making.
the coming out comic was inspired by my own experience being trans around little kids, i was happy (probably not the best word for it) to read about other trans folks relating to it, sharing their own experiences in response to the comic in the comments.

People will really let neurodivergent people go through years of feeling like absolute trash about themselves and like their very way of being is inherently wrong and then the second you get a word that helps you understand why you feel the way you do and find community they're like "I just don't get why it matters :/ you're just a human and that's okay <3"

3Arena
Dublin, Republic of Ireland
Miles during the monkeys gig this pic is from 505 where Alex kept on looking over
He was literally pointing up at the mirrorball at looking up at it for like a solid 10 seconds after come closer
Don’t forget who you are it was so magical (also that turtle plushie behind him 🫠🫠)
Alright crazy things that happened (the ones I can currently recall and in now specific order):
-Nathan dropping his pick and Miles laughing at him
- Liam’s drum kit wasn’t fixed up correctly so his hi hat (I think) like turner 90 degrees and a stage hand had to rush and try and fix it during a song and before the next one miles just jammed out a bit and improvised to give the guy more time to properly fix it
-Miles pointing and looking up at the mirrorball for like solid 10 seconds after come closer
- seeing those chairs and music stands in the back knowing we’re gonna get strings
-after singing the last line of fluorescent adolescent “remember when you used to be a rascal” and then fucking pointing and staring at Miles who was standing to the left side of the stage (which also explains why Alex was suddenly so fond of the left side (also during I wanna be yours I sometimes had to play find Alex cause he was just casually chilling at the very edge of the left stage side like mate at this point just walk down to him )instead of right as usual to jam with Jamie right where the stairs led up to the stage so he was the first one to greet the guys once they went off before the encore and after the show(to smother Alex in a big hug))and watched their set and asking “do you remember?” Before himself answering like 2 seconds latter with “I remember” but like in such a small sad voice that it nearly broke me
Like here’s the entire performance you can hear and see it at 3:13 (I’ve only got the little I remember snippet cause I was screaming my head off)
- when Alex said “let’s hear it for Miles Kane” (some say he said wonderful after we screamed our throat raw) somewhere three quarters through the set we all exploded before realizing he was just thanking him for opening and then played fluorescent adolescent where at the end (check point above) he asked miles if he remembered when he used to be a rascal (and like the fact that Miles was in the band the rascal and Alex wrote Fluorescent with his ex Johanna Bennett around the time when him and Miles started becoming close friends)
- during body paint not Alex singing “and if you’re thinking of me I’m probably thinking of you” while adamantly pointing towards Miles
- I didn’t think it possible to get I wanna be yours x star treatment cause they did it the night before In Belfast but when that little shit said “I don’t wanna be hers I wanna be yours” I certainly lost my shit
-experiencing 505 with the mirrorball and strings
I wanna be yours x star treatment
Body paint
There’d better be a mirrorball
Why’d you only call me when you’re high
Teddy picker ; Alex said teddy is back before the song 🫶🏽🫶🏽🥹
Coup de grace
Never taking me alive
Body paint
