hi welsknight?

I have ancestry again!!!!!!!

Katherine Ainsworth Liddle Bury past away in 1977 in Congleton, Cheshire, England. She was 58. She was cremated and buried in a churchyard I frankly can't read the name of (below). She was a school teacher until she died.

[IMG ID: Excerpts of the death registry for Katherine Bury. The first column, for the district in which death was registered, reads "Congleton." The second column, which recorded how ashes were disposed of, reads: "Buried [unintelligible, potentially "HowCap"?]. Churchyard." /end ID]

She was survived by her husband Donald Oliver Bury:

Evening Sentinel, May 20, 1978

[IMG ID: BURY (Katherine Ainsworth) -- With dearest memories of my beloved Kay. I shall be with you in spirit until we meet again. -- Ever your devoted Don. (Jeremiah, chapter 31, verse 3: Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love.) /end ID]

Her husband continued to teach, eventually reaching the position of headmaster.

Don Bury passed away in a Cypress Court Nursing Home, Crewe, Cheshire, England in 2001. He was 84. He was also cremated, this time by Newcastle Crematorium. It's unclear if there is a grave marker anywhere or who would have taken his remains.

It appears the Bury's lived a private and quiet life in Cheshire until the end of their respective days -- a decision that I can't help but respect after having Donald's transition blasted in newspapers at home and across the pond.

I would also like to add that their 1957 marriage, reported on in the papers as a quiet affair, was indeed legally binding and officially recognized. This was something I was doubting because it was very hard to find documentation of!

Finished the 6th and final member of the old octarian squad(Kinoga, Trito, Agara, Kanu, Denchu)! Jilon is a painbrush main and a bartender who works in a quiet, tucked away joint in Inkopolis. Relatively mild-mannered and "normal"(compared to everyone else, at least). Used to be Kinoga's right hand man, preferring to observe from the sidelines. Wouldn't admit it, but he misses the old squad dearly. Friends with Spyke, who semi-frequents the bar.

Wanted to verify/thought this was interesting so I dug up some more about him!

"The day his sister said 'I think I'm a boy'," Sunday Pictorial, 01 Apr 1956

"Bridegroom was a woman months ago," The Province, 11 Jun 1957

"'Ex-science mistress' marries," The Birmingham Mail, 11 Jun 1957

Note: Two of these articles were reported in newspapers across America, Canada, and England: the first (in OP post) and the third.

Sadly, I don't have access to an Ancestory subscription right now and I can't find the birth date or death date or place of burial for either him or his wife, or if they ever had kids :( Newspapers.com results drop off sharply after 1957 so this is all I could find

If anyone does, I would love to see what you can find!! Although, based on censored information Ancestory WILL show me, it looks like he lived as Donald Bury until the end of his life :]

Two years

Two years since I’ve married this man, & five years since he first entered my life. Isn’t that crazy? Doesn’t time pass by so quick?

And yet, the effect he has on me is always the same; so often I struggle to put my thoughts about him into coherent text. You'd think by now I'd learn how to properly translate the heart-shaped static in my mind, but evidently not.

Although, there is one sort of thought that keeps echoing in my mind tonight...

🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹✨🌹

Change.

If I could summarize my thoughts with a word, it'd be that. Both the demonstration of change & the lack of it. These simultaneously compliment Karamatsu as my F/O, methinks.

Like I've said (I'm pretty sure I've said it anyways), he's been an F/O since 2020. He was my second F/O ever, & to this day is the longest-lasting F/O on the list. During that entire range of time, from 2020 to 2025, there was only, what, maybe a year at most of him not being an F/O? And that wasn't even because I didn't love him anymore; I got self-conscious about self-shipping in his source & forced myself to remove him. Even while he was gone I thought about him, & the moment I realized I could add him back, I did.

It's kinda crazy, because I don't think I'd say Karamatsu was my "main F/O" when he was first added. I guess he was on the count that I had barely any F/Os when I started off, but my " 'main' main" back then was Keigo. But goodness gracious, when I added him back, he came back with a VENGANCE. I think it was gradual; he snuck around behind the scenes, acting like an undiagnosed disease before he made his symptoms of love clear. And you know what? I'm glad he spread throughout my systems. I genuinely don't know where I'd be without him, whether that be if he never returned to the list, or if he was just never added at all. There's a world out there where Ichimatsu took his place, or where Keigo remained the sole king of my mind. Hell, there's a world out there where Iyami could've been it (boo! That's a surprise, innit?). But those worlds aren't this world, and frankly, I prefer being in this one.

So yeah, that's the "lack of change" aspect of my thoughts. Karamatsu's been a pretty big constant in my life. I mean, what, it's only 5 years (4 if you remove the year he wasn't on the list, but I don't really count that because I wasn't happy about it lmao) of my life that he's been involved in? That's what, almost a quarter of my life isn't it?

...wait... he's been with me for a quarter of my life?? HELLO-?!

But despite all of that, "the demonstration of change" is still a big part of it all too.

In terms of like, his existence as a comfort character, that mf has seen me change a lot. I used to imagine his 18!Self w/ his brothers @ high school with me sometimes. I guess in that way, we kinda grew up together lmao. I related a lot to his 18!Self, and I guess I kinda aspired to be like his modern depiction. I was a mentally ill, socially anxious wreck. Awful, cringe, boo tomato tomato. But like, now that I'm grown (or growing, I suppose. 21 isn't a lot in the grand scheme of things), I'm seeing myself become more like him. I'm getting more confident, I'm able to express myself with my fashion, I'm slowly becoming less ashamed with how I am. And I know that in source, me saying "I'm becoming more like him" as a good thing would be fucking nuts. But like... I'm learning some good lessons from him.

Now, in ship lore, none of that would even matter. We meet when we're both in our 20s. He'd be meeting me roughly as I am now; he wouldn't even know how I was in high school. Not if I can do anything about it lmao.

But that aspect of change applies to him too, no? To our ship lore in-general. I don't think I've thought about it before, but it is lowkey an underlining theme.

Really, our relationship was built on change. On shaking the Matsunos' status quo, on defining a turning point in my confidence to pursue romance, on all sorts of relationship firsts that we wouldn't have had otherwise.

But all of this is incidental to what I originally meant when I brought up change. The whole thought that kickstarted this train was how much my interpretation of him's changed, especially since we've gotten married. I feel like if I showed my thoughts to high school me, she would've called them out of character. And maybe she would've been right. But to be loved is to be changed, no? And I think that applies to Karamatsu. Of course it does.

He's not always eccentrically flirty or energetic around me. We have our moments of comfortable silence, our lazy dates of getting fast food or something together, our casual conversations about dinner or how bored we are. He's not the same man that used to get nosebleeds just from holding hands. He can handle his affections now; in fact, because of our relationship, he's slowly transitioned into the man he's always wanted to be. He can be all suave and smooth and flirty without being overwhelmed or nauseous from nerves. He's learned how to be a proper shoulder to lean on, how to protect me (emotionally, at least. I'm not letting him brawl for my sake if I can help it). That image of being cool has become less of an image and more of just how he is because it's been reinforced. But again, he doesn't have that need to constantly be in that state either. For every grand gesture, there's a casual kiss on the cheek as we walk pass each other. For each poem or song he writes me declaring his love, there's a mumbled coo of "i love you"s & "i love you too"s when we're both half awake. Do you understand? The romantics aren't all just in the dramatics (hah) anymore, they're in the monotonies that he otherwise would've grown to hate in Season 3 if he didn't have me.

It's kinda funny, in a way. I'm so excited for the next season so I can get more fuel of him, but I wonder how much of it will even align with how I see him nowadays. Not that I'm complaining lol; I'll take anything ANSFKJN

But yes, in short, I love this damn man a lot. Even when he goes a bit dormant to let other F/Os have the spotlight, he'll always have a special place in my heart. In my mind. And evidently, in my history as a human being. A quarter of my life dedicated to this man, I can not fucking believe it ASNKMFNSAKD
