I do have a ko-fi and it's probably the best place to give me money, though unhinged tags sustain me more :D

Gotta love Ruben in his blue shades and John just watching him and Kyle posing 🩵

Just some hype before watching Smiling Friends tomorrow morning. Pim kinda hurt me to draw. My leg still hurts 😭 hopefully it will be all better tomorrow! 😁 No spoilers please, I don't have cable, I got Max, I renewed for a year now 😀 .... I've been actually studying chairs more since I clean a bunch at work, unintentionally 🤣

I headcanon that Charlie and Pim are AuDHD. What. Fight me. Well don't actually. Like sometimes I'm actually wondering, staring at Charlie like a moron, wondering why he flexes his fingers like that. Or plays with his clothes. Or maybe it's just an idle animation but I still think he is. As for Pim, possibly. He seems to be very affectionate and optimistic. That's not a bad thing though. But again I'm not a doctor so idk about that. I feel like Charlie would try to slap himself sober if he really felt he needed to. Idk why or how to explain it, it just makes sense to me. Anyone else is free to reblog to back me up.

The only things cheering me up at the moment are my kiddo, Bucktommy, and the Untethered Rage clip of Dennis from Always Sunny. In that order.

The Dadliest Chat (3zun Group Text)--Modern 3zun raise Jingyi AU

[Modern 3zun Tag] [Ao3 series]

[This was a lot of fun and the first thing I have written in a WHILE, so I just let myself go for it and write whatever. Therefore the vibe is a little all over the map; slice of life, fluff, lil' bit of lemon, a bit of angst and trauma work, but mostly just sort of day in the life look at 3zun's group chat as fathers! A-Fu is about 10 months old in this.

CW: dirty talk, lemon (I'm leery of tagging more cause I don't wanna get flagged because Tunglr™, but they sometimes have adult convos over text, ya know?]

Xichen: 😂 He’s playing DRUMS in that picture, Da-ge.

Xichen: It’s his music class.

Xichen: We Lan eschew violence.

A-Yao: Why does he sound like that? Is that normal?

Da-ge: gollum

Xichen: 😂

Xichen: I was thinking more sink drain, but that too! 

A-Yao: Our son is not GOLLUM

Xichen: He’s started making that noise when he’s happy, A-Yao, it's alright! 💙 He does it especially when he looks at the tiger toy A-Yu got him. Or when he’s going to the bathroom.

Da-ge: lol

Da-ge: he has your smile

Xichen: Not sure that’s possible, Da-ge😂

A-Yao: I actually agree with Da-ge

A-Yao: I think it's the eyes

Da-ge: yeah

Xichen: Hmm, well his mother's father's father was my father's cousin, I believe. Or second cousin, I can never rightly remember. Several branches off, we'll say.

Xichen: Maybe my father was the common link.

<2:27 PM>

Xichen: [sent picture]

Xichen: I don't see it, really.

Da-ge: see what

Da-ge: whose that

Xichen: A similarity in our smiles.

A-Yao: Is that your father???

Xichen: Yes.

A-Yao: !!!!

Da-ge: i didnt know you had pictures of him

Xichen: I don't, I asked Wangji if shufu had ever shown him any. He was visiting him with Wuxian and A-Yuan today, so I suppose he found one.

A-Yao: Or Wuxian did. 

Da-ge: snoop

Xichen: Well, maybe 😋 I didn't ask.

A-Yao: Hmm

A-Yao: People don’t always use their real smile for pictures

<3:04 PM>

Da-ge: ?

Xichen: Hm? 

A-Yao: Are you okay?

Xichen: Yes? Why wouldn’t I be? 🤗

Da-ge: you went quiet

Da-ge: distraction

Xichen: ?

A-Yao: You’re cheating, Er-ge

Xichen: Cheating?? Cheating what?? How??

Da-ge: 🙄

Xichen: It was just odd to think I’ve never seen his real smile. I'm not even thinking about it anymore, I'm keeping A-Fu from eating sand! I can call you to prove it but really, it was just a thought. I'M FINE 💙

Da-ge: then promise to answer after

A-Yao: I’ll try to remember.

Da-ge: you don’t forget shit set an alarm to remember then instead of being a child

Xichen: Da-ge please that’s not going to help

Da-ge: its stupid if he’s going to have a problem with something we said and not fix it

Da-ge: just fucking tell us instead of the pasive aggressive shit

Da-ge: he knows that

Xichen: You know that’s not how it works. Please don’t do this here, just text me privately. A-Yao, we’re not talking about you behind your back

Da-ge: thers no other way TO talk to him when he does this

Da-ge: this can literally be over right now if he just answered his stupid phone

Da-ge: thought you two were going out for dinner? isnt that why you needed asang?

Xichen: Something happened with a last minute change to a contract and he has to go in to oversee changes, but I need to run some errands anyway, so I’ll take advantage of the expanded mobility 😂

Watching Jude play so well for England v Italy last night reminded me of these pics and his forever bromance with Erling! 😍 Love the way these two are always goofing around when they're together 😜🥰
