Dear Diary,
Today I have acquired a new blorbo. It is, of course, a wretched little man with a somewhat twisted sense of honour. I put him in my blorbo basket and carried him home. Tomorrow I shall display him on the mantel when my friend comes for tea.

love a fictional character who will scowl and tell people β€œI’m not sick” β€œI’m not hungry” β€œI didn’t get injured”
meanwhile he has an extremely high fever, he ate some soup last week, and the blood is soaking through his jacket

Sometimes when I’m down, I remember that scene at a convention when Leonard Nimoy and De Kelley are reading fanfiction to the audience, and they pause at a scene to remember the destroyed Enterprise and place their hands over their hearts
and De does a double-take, skips over to Nimoy, and fixes his hand so it’s on his lower ribcage, where the vulcan heart actually is, and then goes back to his spot and remarks something likeΒ β€œI should know I’m his doctor” and continues on.

🎼 You would not believe your eyes, if 10 million fireflies ended up in the header of your AO3. 🎢
It's been a while since I tried glow effects, but I saw the fireflies and I couldn't resist.
CSS code under the cut.
