Well I've been effectively blind for the last few hours, but my eyes are perfectly healthy, just dry.

Screens are a bit of a challenge right now, but I might still get the new chapter up tonight.

Huzzah!

"Wyll is boring" he is the personification of daddy issues. he hides away at a beach TWICE and leaving the tav to go find him because he's not used to having people around who care abt him. he's been running around the sword coast for seven years just killing things and saving people because he got EXILED and chose to prove himself to his father and just help others. he spends his time training kids how to defend themselves. you find out his dad is the ARCHDUKE of Baldur's Gate. he almost drowned once trying to find mermaids. he has a literal devil haunting him that watches his every move. He managed to stop an entire cult of Tiamat AT AGE 17!!!!!!! he loves clowns.

Wyll isn't boring, ppl just haven't taken the time to explore his story and it SHOWS

I feel like one's reaction to getting a positive covid test shouldn't be absolute anger but alas

(typing this as I walk to work so this is not articulate but) thinking a lot abt how les mis w javert sort of. hm. questions? problematizes? the Idea of dogs & the domestication of dogs (metaphorically ofc) like it sort of looks past the 'man's best friend' angle entirely & makes you think things like. kind of fucked up of humans [the social order] to domesticate the wolf [person outside of society for whatever reason] expressly to turn against & cause harm to other wolves in order to keep them out [away from respectable society] & keep themselves safe but never truly consider it an equal [it'll always just be a dog]. kind of fucked up that the dog finds enjoyment & life's purpose in this

Something I really like is that April’s constant stream of odd jobs she goes through is somewhat reflected in the boys as well. Like, you have April working at random pizza places or getting a crane license or being fully willing to apply for a job at a place clearly made out of cardboard. Then you have the boys as well who do anything from working as a basketball mascot, building a massive dog park, being waiters, getting a whole band gig at a theme park, etc, etc-

Main difference is that April actively applies for these jobs (and is hopefully paid for the short time she’s in them) whereas for the bros the jobs usually find them (and they practically never get paid.) It doesn’t even stop at jobs either, they just seem to casually amass skills in general.

I don’t know, I like how both April and the turtles are just so ready and willing to do things. Sure, they’re not always good at these things, but they do them readily! In a way, being heroes is just another job (well, more like volunteer work/vigilantism/another fun activity) that they initially took on because of their general sense of “why not?”

They’re very willing and open to trying out new things despite their tendency to revert back to what they enjoy (and how commonly trying new things ends up going wrong), and I think that adaptational interest of theirs really helps them be well rounded in multiple regards.

Hal goes by a "try anything once" food mentality, and he often forces Barry to try new things with him, which Barry reluctantly and politely does while asking Hal why they can't just have dinner at Barry's house.

Last food shop of the month. I worked out my total before I checked out and how close that would take me to my budget for May, it was very close but I was certain I would be a few pennies under. Turns out it takes me 8p over. Dagnabbit.

Here's what I got if anyone is bored enough to want to know;

Cat food (£2.85 as an offer price, and 120 nectar points so essentially works out to £2.25)

Dark baking chocolate (£1.50, and 60 nectar points so essentially works out to £1.20)

1 tinned peaches (34p, and 10 nectar points so essentially works out to 29p)

5 chopped tomatoes with basil and oregano (unexplained sale price at 20p each, will get more if they're still there next time)

Cherry tomatoes (£1, and 20 nectar points so essentially works out to 90p)

1 red pepper (60p, and 20 nectar points so essentially works out to 50p)

2 heads of sweet gem lettuce (70p, and 10 nectar points so essentially works out to 65p)

1 onion (11p, and 10 nectar points so essentially works out to 6p)

Pork mince (£1.30 reduced price, unplanned and I lunged on it while my Greek brain screamed MACARONIA!!!!!)

500g block of shortcrust pastry (80p reduced price, unplanned but I just used the last of my pastry for the blackberry crumble pies and I will definitely need to make more of those so worth grabbing and freezing)

Pizza Express La Reine pizza (£1.50 reduced price, also unplanned but that's a good price for a yummy pizza and I was getting salad anyway so eeeeeasy dinner)

So actual total spend was £11.70 but minus what I get back with Nectar it's £10.45. I guess that's not too bad considering it includes cat food and unplanned pizza and pork mince

hii happy pride month, have a little 'you're a dog (i'm your man)' chapter four snippet as an apology for radio silence <33

“Did I wake you?” Gale asks, glancing at John apologetically, but John looks up from his effort to avoid muddy puddles to shake his head. Gale supposes it’s a silly question; John sleeps like a rock, dead to disturbances made by anything other than his own brain.

“Just my sixth sense,” John says, shrugging and shooting him a small smile. Gale snorts.

“You got a radar for me?” He teases, and John smiles wider, eyes crinkling.

“Built in,” he answers matter–of–factly, raising a hand and making a fist over the center of his chest before dropping it, returning his vigilant gaze to the uneven ground. Gale stares for a moment longer, floored not for the first time by John’s apparent obliviousness to the weight of his sentimentality.

Even knowing John how he does, it’s always unexpected coming from someone who a stranger might assume to be brazen and surface–level; John’s loud mouth and wandering hands do him no favours in that regard.

But Gale does know John, like an extension of himself half the time, and still he manages to render him speechless. The way his heart flutters as the sentiment hangs in the air makes Gale want to reach down his throat and squeeze it until it never beats again.
