taking doctor who fans by the hand and gently explaining that thasmin is not queerbaiting because they are very much queer they just didn't get what any of us wanted. that's not queerbaiting my dears it is simply a somewhat unsatisfying resolution. stories have these all the time please use your noggins. some of you bitches do not know what words mean <3 peace and love

Here I'm not sure if I've said this anywhere so take this lil note about Lyra's experience with the prosperity goddess (whose name I forget every time,) or rather what led up to it. While he wouldn't have taken any deals in the end, the amount of confidence he handled it with was certainly due to what happened that day.

This is taken verbatim from my notes channel, so apologies for confusing wording.

i think ioun apologizing combined with emily's invitation they sort of like. feel this weight lifted off their chest they have a moment of clarity like "the things i've been worrying about are getting better, there's hope, ill be fine" and they start making an effort again, with however little time they have left like lyra really hasn't been in a good place! they were dealing with the wolf, and then technically they were okay during the beginning of the god stuff but like it was a huge shift and given that it isn't what they signed up for there was a lot of fear going into it, you know? and then sehanine happened and they realized how much they loved emily too and were really really scared of losing her like that was really stressful! like shes been keeping up and hopefully doing basic care things but he definitely fell off during the mortality crisis and it gets resolved and he has the first moment in a while of "ill be okay"

There's a bit more about it but it's late so I should get in bed haha. Let me know if the formatting of this sucks ass I'm tryna figure out how I should differentiate the actual writing parts in posts.

Dear Splatana Wiper user,

No, you can't spawn camp an Octobrush by standing right next to me. Your tiny little window wiper's stupid thwap-thwaping is nothing like the strong strokes of an Octobrush. You're pathetic and weak compared to me. Now perish.

in desperate need of a genshin impact break tbqh so i'm replaying mass effect 3 and also playing the elder scrolls online again and i forgot how much i missed it, being able to travel and/or explore with an actual group or even just a companion and with banter and conversation instead of just... alone 🙃

don't worry i still adore kaeya with every fiber of my being lmao

[katsy-kitty]

holy shit I just did so much cleaning

I know my body will hate me tomorrow

I'll probably have to do heavy resting for the next few days

but I'm also proud of myself

but I have also entered my verbose era

and I don't know how to stop

it's 3:30 am and I'm still so hyper

if I don't fall asleep again, it's gonna be a bit of a problem

I don't like these insomnia bouts

Okay I have a story.

So my birthday is this Sunday (May 26th). My mom ordered some presents for me but one of them (an Etsy purchase) was seemingly stuck in transit and might not make it on time. I tell my mom all good, no worries. She gets in contact with the seller. After a long delay in response they get back with "Right we'll fix it!" It ships, tracking label and everything, good to go! ETA May 22nd (yesterday.)

During the work day I check the tracking and it says it's been delivered in/at mailbox! I double check with my mom "hey, is it mailbox size?" because if not, I don't want it sitting at the front door where anyone walking by could snag it.

She says "it's definitely NOT mailbox size." Okay. I text my neighbors in the building "Anyone seen a package delivered? It's a birthday gift from my mom and I wanna make sure it gets inside!" Success! Floor 2 David (not to be confused with Floor 1 David) had brought it inside. Inform my mom. All good!

I stop by home briefly around 4pm, because yesterday was hot-hot and I just installed my window A/C that morning in the living room, and according to my cat cam my stupid cat hasn't spent a single second in the climate controlled living room and is, instead, voluntarily baking herself elsewhere so I'm like "great" and hop on my bike to go home (10 minute ride) to check on her.

I get in the building door. Patches is crying from the top floor because she heard me. I maneuver my bike in the front hall. The ugliest fucking 6-foot-tall cat tree(?)/totem(?)/statue(?) I've seen in my entire life is just. Standing there.

My first thought is "What the fuck is that." My second thought is "Oh fuck that is for me." I look around at the floor in case there's perhaps anything else that might, in fact, be the gift.

No. Me and Cat Pole.

It's taller than me. I turn it around to face me and its face is painted and this is, in fact, uglier than it looked from the back.

Um.

Patches is crying. So I just haul it up to my level. MAYBE it was supposed to come with twine that I wrap around it (and hide its face from the world) for Patches to scratch. Maybe this is a prank. Maybe this is an inside joke, because when my mom moved into her current house the neighborhood gifted her some ugly-as-hell totem that apparently, by tradition, each newest-comer to the neighborhood is required to have and display in their window so maybe this is a very good riff on that.

Patches rubs against it. She's not afraid of this horrid facsimile of her kind.

Great.

Meanwhile SHE'S fine and the condo is a little toasty but totally liveable so I'm like "Good, cool, you're not baking. You're having a good time. Enjoy your new sister, I guess, I'll see you later."

I go back to work because this is a problem for later me.

After work, after my run, after whatever, I get home and it's like 8:00pm and Patches is so happy to see me and the totem pole is still just. There.

I text my friends like "so a bday gift is here from my mom and it's the Biggest Ugliest cat pole I've seen in my life. Is this a bit? Did my mom go 'that's so ugly haha! send!' Maybe she genuinely found it cute. How do I navigate this." My friend Sarah has the good advice to maybe text my mom neutrally like "Got the cat pole!" and feel the waters whether my mom is like "Isn't it ugly? 😂" or "Hope Patches likes it! 🥰"

My mom goes to bed early so I don't do any of that yet. Problem for tomorrow me.

This morning, Patches wakes me up for breakfast. I get her situated and I'm staring at the fucking Cat Pole again. I wonder if my Mom's been wondering all night what I thought of it.

I take a picture. I text her.

Okay.

I get on call with my mom. I ask for clarity that the ungodly horrid thing is NOT my birthday gift and is in fact a mix-up from the seller who sent me this instead of my actual gift. She's wheezing between words. She thinks I'm being too charitable for the amount of Absolute Fucking Ugly this is. I have to gently talk her out of using the word "monstrosity" while messaging the seller asking what the hell happened here.

I tell her I need to apologize for harming her dignity with Floor 2 David, who thinks this fucking thing is my mom's idea of a great birthday gift for her to-be-28-year-old daughter.

My heart goes out to the poor soul who did actually order this cat totem and is lacking it on this lovely day.
