Do you guys ever think about this panel. Do you think about how in this moment he realizes he’s about to be killed by the demon and he is SMILING!!!!!!! He’s about to fulfill his one remaining desire, the one he hasn’t even admitted to himself, and it’s all finally going to be over.
Because I’m thinking about it a lot, in fact I actually cannot stop thinking about it
Bonus in case thinking about it made you depressed:

“You’re sleeping on the couch tonight.”
“You fuckin’ wot?”
You whip around in fury, pinning him with a steely gaze, “I didn’t fucking stutter, Simon Riley.” You snarl through gritted teeth. “After that shitshow of a dinner, I don’t want to even look at you. You’ll be sleeping out here.”
You hear him inhale as you walk towards the bedroom. If he thinks you’re going to stick around and continue this conversation any further he’s definitely come home with brain damage from his latest deployment.
The bedroom door rattles unsatisfactorily as it’s slammed closed.

Three years!
Hello, everyone and happy Jimlingss anniversary! Woohoo! It has been three years since my official retirement and eight years since I’ve began this blog. That’s absolutely crazy since it all feels like yesterday. Time flies when you’re having fun.
First and foremost, thank you to all who still send me messages and give me feedback on my stories! I do check back once in a while and read everything, so nothing goes unnoticed. Your kind words always make me miss the simpler days of writing. :’) It really gets me nostalgic.
Second, here is my yearly update!
I’ve finished my second year of law school! I finished off this year with a bang and did quite well, if I do say so myself. There’s one more year left to go and that’s insane since I remember the first day so vividly. I’m a bit sad for it to be all over — I never thought I’d ever feel this way. But I’ve made so many friends and created so many memories. When it’s all over, everyone will be going their own path. Luckily, I’m sure we’ll remain connected and be close friends no matter what.
I don’t think I’ve had such a positive experience quite like this in all my years of schooling. I’ve always been the type to just scurry on home, never liked what I was studying, and never had too many friends. So this change has been unexpected yet very welcome.
In terms of career, I’ve been working this summer and I have something lined up for when I’m finished school! So soon I’ll be racking in the dough, wooooooo!! Let’s get it!
My family is also doing well — and I feel very fortunate for that.
Third, and most important, I am happy to announce that I have a boy I absolutely adore! We’ve officially been dating for four months? That seems so short on paper, but we’ve known each other for close to two years! I’m living out one of my friends to lovers fics, I swear (lol).
He’s been a close friend since the start of law school and somewhere along the line I gradually caught feelings (of course I did lmao). I was sure rejection was on the horizon and I wanted to preserve our dear friendship, so I was trying to get over it for months by myself. This included online dating and going on a string of dates (hahaha). I ended up cracking and calling him on the phone one night, but then aborted mission. Thanks to the advice of a friend, I stopped avoiding him and being an embarrassment, and I finally confronted him. He said we should give it a shot, and here we are!
He has brown, curly hair that reminds me of a poodle. And he made me realize why love is so loved — why it’s so revered — talked about — imprinted in each other’s minds. Everywhere. I’ve written countless love stories but never truly experienced the feeling before, and yet, he’s made the heart of my stories come to life. He’s let me live them in real time.
I really hope it works out! LOL
Anyway, I’m always happy to do these updates and for all those who may be just a bit curious enough about me to check in. Although this is a very positive update (and I hope it continues to be), my life isn’t without its ups and downs either. It just seems to be in a general upwards trajectory.
Thank you to everyone who still remembers me, and who may still read my stories! I definitely haven’t forgotten about you all, so I hope you haven’t forgotten me either.
Here’s to another year! See you again!

• Completed two online tests today and studied some Anatomy. I tried working on the report for the first physics lab I did but there’s so much info I don’t have and things I don’t understand haha. I’ll try again tomorrow morning. Also studied at the library for the first time in a while.
• I always think that watching a cartoon during my study breaks and while I eat would make it easier to stop and get back to work. But anything becomes captivating once I have to study. I’m enjoying Ninjago way more than I did when I was a child lmao.
• The past few days have been filled with hail and the thickest clouds ever but the sun finally came through today. Not too excited about the impending heat though.
• I sketched a lot today and I enjoyed it more than I usually do. I even tried drawing with a pen, which I find very daunting, but I made the mistakes, moved on and tried again. Very proud of myself for not dwelling on it too much.

May I ask about the spelling shift from Cei to Kay? What does it mean?
Cei is an earlier Welsh spelling of the knight most commonly recognized as Sir Kay. he undergoes a much harsher character transformation, borderline unrecognizable from his earliest narrative iterations, than the other knights do as they become assimilated into various cycles, especially by the time that the Grail Quest becomes a central part of overall lore, and I thought it’d be fun for Merlin/the comic to recognize what’s about to happen to Cei/Kay in the written text before Kay himself does
