Undead Unluck ep.19 thoughts

[One-Shot, One Kill]

(Contents: artistic direction, pacing)

Gnashing my teeth, ripping out my hair, tearing up my immediate vicinity!

This is what it should be like!!!

Sure, we still had the requisite million minutes of recap in the beginning, but in the middle! We got an actual extension of what happened in the manga! It didn't really add anything per se, but it was a nice excuse to pad things out while helping us understand the flow of events in a fun way

Plus the overall energy of the episode was really good despite how little was actually going on, which ironically makes this a better episode than some of the more action-focused ones we've gotten!

My only real complaint is that they changed the context of Fuuko taking the editor's phone, but there're a lot of political reasons I can see why they'd want to censor the heroine of their story whipping out a pistol on a civilian. I imagine it's partially a matter of standards and practices, but with certain events over the last few years, this context may hit a little close to home

Still, this version just isn't as fun, at least not in comparison! Andy showing up out of nowhere and mad-dogging this woman just doesn't have the gap factor that made Fuuko pulling a glock as funny as it was, plus the fact that Fuuko asked for the phone timidly rather than just yoinking it out of her hand. I think we could've met in the middle - theft then mad-dog. But that's not what happened, and I'll get over it in time, I'm just sad cus I was excited about that bit

I do feel like we're really cutting it close with the timing here; to get back on pace, we need the next episode to get through another two-and-a-half chapters in one go (finishing chapter 40), which is doable, they've done it before, but would they? They seem so obsessed with making sure every single minute detail is revisited whenever it comes up (or doesn't in some cases) that I can't imagine we'll be able to get through the coming introduction to Anno Un with any sense of brevity

If this episode is any indication, I hope that they're planning to ween themselves off of the extensive recaps and focus more on embellishing quieter moments, but until then, I'm just going to assume that the season is going to have a baffling cut-off point

[tiktaalic]

whats the other thought i was thinking. OH i love how completely fucked the relationships are between any adult and any teen. im thinking specifically of coach ben + the girls and shauna + her daughter. and how its completely different. coach ben is like uuuuuum i know that im the adult in the room but i dont..... want to be................ because being the authority figure is scary and i cant do it. turning this one over to the incredibly traumatized teenage girls. vs shauna and her daughter where from callie's perspective it's obviously a dynamic of this is my mom and i want her to love me and like me but for shauna it's more on level with like. being a senior with an assigned freshman mentee. going to be honest fishie you really fucked that one. and don't try to get into a power struggle with me because i'm smarter older and more experienced so i'll win. mom did i do good uhhhh sure freshman in that you managed to not create a bigger problem while trying to fix the first problem you created. ive always thought theres a pretty big disconnect b/ween the teen and adult personas (which. duh there's 25 years and woods cannibalism separating them) w shauna in particular who seems to only really tap into bitchy high school eye rolling cutting remarks every other line as a 40 something.

May 25, 2018 (Half-O-Ween 2018):

*a coffin is shown in front of a fake graveyard*

*the coffin's door slowly opens, and I.M. Weasel (dressed as a vampire) rises up from the casket*

I.M. Weasel (in a slightly harrowing tone): Good evening, ladies and gentlemen! I am Count Weasel, and welcome to Fridays. It is Friday, May 25th, and that means it's almost time for Half-O-Ween!

*Weasel laughs evilly as the headlights off camera flicker to resemble lightning, while lightning sound effects play in the background*

I.M. Weasel (speaks in his normal voice again): *looks back at the camera* Oh, but don't worry about Tommy and Tara, they're taking the week off. Not to worry, everyone, we'll be able to make do without them, at least for this week.

*Weasel steps out of the coffin*

I.M. Weasel: As you may already know if you saw last week's show, we're preparing a little game show for you viewers at home tonight. We have teamed up with some animators and copyright owners from Burbank, CA to give some lucky winners a chance to go trick-or-treating early this year.

*footage of this game show appears onscreen*

I.M. Weasel: Every half hour tonight, one of you lucky viewers will get a chance to go on a 40-second scavenger hunt. There will be 6 different house, but choose carefully! Some of them are filled with prizes for you to keep as your own, but others will be home to the scariest creatures you'll have ever laid your eyes upon!!!

*cuts back to Weasel as he laughs again*

I.M. Weasel: But not yet, of course. We've still got a night of Fridays to enjoy. But stay by your phones as you watch tonight's shows. Those who submitted texts and/or post cards and memorized our caller ID must be dying to get the opportunity of a lifetime. For now, however, let us commence with tonight's brand new Stick Friends, because we can't actually play the game until the episode is over...

..........

I.M. Weasel (drops character): Also because this isn't the costume I'm going to wear. I-I'm going to be wearing something else after the break...

================================================

While Fridays did do something Half-O-Ween related for May 31, 2019, I was more interested in including a segment from this night instead because of how interesting it is.

Here's what happened, as part of a collaboration between Great 5 Productions and Nickelodeon, we were given permission to utilize one of their Halloween events from the 90s for ourselves.

In this case, we were allowed to utilize the format of a call-in trick-or-treating game show, where players had 40-seconds to search for prizes (it's explained at 0:25 in this video).

Back when it was first created, the event was part of a yearly Halloween event/contest that Nickelodeon held known as "Nick or Treat".

We decided to remove every mention of Nickelodeon's name (including the "Nick or Treat" name) from the packaging for 2 reasons:

Some of the higher-ups were worried that the inclusion of the Nickelodeon name would be a bit too distracting on Cartoon Network.

Well... the original name sounds like... yeah, you know...

Now, how exactly did we do this call-in thing without the trademark... name...?

Well, what we did was give out a phone number and caller ID (I believe it was "CN Fridays" or something) on May 18, 2018 for people to write down and memorize. Viewers who texted "Half-O-Ween" to that phone number were asked to label that number with the ID that was featured on Fridays. The viewers would know that they won based on what the caller ID was.

Oh yeah, and we managed to get a hold of the original game show's music, as well as a non-music version to prevent musical confusion with sound effects during the game. That was weird because when TeenNick's "The Splat" brought back the game show thing for Halloween 2015 (a few years before this), they apparently didn't have the original track with them. Not sure what happened there.

For this Fridays show, 2 games were played every hour of the block. Each hour was hosted by different Cartoon Cartoon characters (while Tommy and Tara had the week off), each wearing costumes that were similar to (or exactly) the ones they wore during the CCF Halloween Party.

I can't quite remember all of the hosts, or what order they went in, but I believe Dexter (as Courage) and Blossom (as Eddy) were 2 of the ones who appeared (as well as Weasel of course).

As for why the Halloween CNF logo is here despite being May? Well, since we forgot to use the logo in October 2017, we decided to make up for that by using it here.

Alright, that's all I got for you guys. Happy Half-O-Ween, everybody!

[thinningintofalll]

Best BS Animations Tournament Masterpost

I will be pinning this list on this blog. I have left out a few animations, because I feel they weren’t worthwhile enough to count as one. My criteria was “Is it animated” and a slightly stricter one “Does it add anything new”.

I have now created the match-ups. If anyone has any animations that I have missed and thinks it should be in the tournament, I am open to suggestions up until round one is officially over.

Send a dm, ask, or any other way you wish to contact me on tumblr. :)

I have paired up animations that have enough in common, have the same tone, or is implied to take place as a direct sequel/correlation. If one of the paired up ones is the winner, I will then pit those two against each other.

So... Here are the current entries!

#Uncool50 Index page

Having made a post indexing my #FearOfMu21c posts, i thought that I might as well index all the #Uncool50 posts too, in case anyone wanted to have a look thru those. This was a challenge posted last year on twitter where those taking part had to pick their 50 favourite singles since the punk era. As well as doing this, I took it upon myself to write a post about each of them, which i eventually stockpiled here (for want of anything else to do with them). A quick word of warning: unlike my posts this year, they were often turned around to short order and consequently i'm less happy with them than the ones i did this time.

Anyway, after we found that most people weren't really interested in picking anything much released after 1985, the organiser (my twitter friend Arron Wright, or @nonoxcol as he is there) decided to do a purely 21st century challenge this year, which is where #FearOfMu21c comes in. But anyway, these were my #Uncool 50 picks. They're listed in no particular order, other than 11 pts were given to the best five songs, with the top one getting an extra point too (as noted below).

1. Abba - Knowing Me, Knowing You

2. Tom Tom Club _ Genius Of Love

3. Dexys Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen (11 pts)

4. Madness - Michael Caine

5. .The Blue Nile - Tinseltown In The Rain

6. Strawberry Switchblade - Since Yesterday

7. Suzanne Vega - Marlene On The Wall

8. Madonna - Dress You Up

9. Nu Shooz - I Can't Wait

10. Kate Bush - Hounds Of Love

11. New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle

12. Talulah Gosh - Steaming Train

Providence Gets Weird with Ween

Ween brought their Summer Tour 2023 to a Sold Out crowd at The Strand in Providence on Friday night (9.15.23) for a marathon set.

Ween hit the stage a little later than scheduled, but that was only to accommodate the massive line quite literally wrapping around the block outside the venue. For their fans inside, it was a test of their patience, but once the band finally took the stage, said patience was rewarded with a 33-song marathon set that bounced all over Ween’s nearly 40-year career.

Despite never quite becoming a full-blown fan of Ween, I’ve always respected and enjoyed them whenever I’ve come across their music. I love how they’ve never taken themselves seriously and have always been ambitious and audacious in their manipulation of genre and theme. Getting to see them bring those ideals to life as they gleefully rocked their way through the night – delivering their bizarre brand of funk/psychedelia/etc. infused alt-rock in a display that shone a bright light on each song’s technical artistry and absurdist heart – was an absolute blast.

The setlist was the perfect example of what Ween is as a band; an unpredictable, wildly weird collection as varied in their sound as they were in the band’s spontaneous renditions. I especially loved that they played so much from “Chocolate and Cheese” (especially “Baby Bitch” and “The HIV Song”), as I’d listened to a bunch of tracks off it quite a bit many years ago. But the songs I didn’t know worked just as well as the ones I did – both on their own and in the context of the set as a whole. It all made for a technically impressive, utterly madcap ride that the packed house loved taking with the band.

Highlights of the set – alongside the aforementioned “Chocolate and Cheese” material – came in the form of the tracks that showcased just how versatile a band Ween is in terms of genre, such as “Buckingham Green”, “Powder Blue”, “The Mollusk” and “Doctor Rock” (which was even more insane, live).

+ 10 wanted connections.

AMIR BACCHUS  (our  YAHYA ABDUL-MATEEN II ) is looking for their  SIBLINGS ( 2 ). They’re an  35-40 UTP , who look like  ALDIS HODGE, AJA NAOMI KING, AMBER RILEY, DANIELLE BROOKS, JOHN DAVID WASHINGTON, TREVANTE RHODES OR ANY BLACK FC. You  DO NOT  need to approach the player. 

Amir's narrative is fraught with numerous trigger warnings. Since a young age, he shouldered the weight of believing he bore responsibility for the majority of the tragedies in his life. These happenings started over two decades ago, with his father abandoning the family of seven- as the oldest he was responsible for becoming the man of the house. Yet, his own birth mother had squarely placed blame on him for the death of her younger, more gentle son years following. The suicide of his brother became a pivotal moment of anguish, deepening the trauma that Amir would later confront through therapy and a journey toward self-acceptance. Yet, prior to these hardships, Amir also had two other siblings with whom he lost all contact due to his struggles with addiction specifically alcoholism. It took him a while for him to finally ween himself from intoxication. Now, as he maintains that sobriety, he wonders if there is any possibility of repairing the strained relationships of his past.

-

AMIR BACCHUS  (our  YAHYA ABDUL-MATEEN II )  is looking for their  NEICES/ NEPHEWS/ NIBLINGS ( UNLIMITED ) . They’re an  21-30 UTP, who look like AYO EDIBIRI, JUSTICE SMITH, LOVIE SIMONE, ZENDAYA COLEMAN, AMANDLA STENBERG, ALEXANDRA SHIPP, JASMINE SANDERS, KEKE PALMER OR AT LEAST HALF BLACK FC ON (THEIR FATHER’S SIDE ). You DO NOT  need to approach the player. 

One of amir’s un-named brother’s not included in the WCs has been an absent father for all of your muses’ life. There is a possibility that your muses’ father has multiple children from multiple women or they could be the same women. It’s possible that these muses could go as far as confuse Amir for their father since his brother has seemingly disappeared from the face of the earth. The point is, Amir had no idea your muse existed until now-likely because this muse’s mother wanted to keep your muse away from the trauma that is the Bacchus name. Your muses may take on that surname or their mothers’ depending on your own backstory, of course!

-

COLSON KIM (our  BYUN WOO-SEOK ) is looking for their  SISTER. They’re an  27-33 UTP, who look like  BAE GANGHEE, YANG HYE-JI, LEE HOJUNG, PARK HEEJUNG, JUNG HO-YEON,  KIM SE JEONG, MOON GA-YOUNG, SEO YEA-JI or ANY KOREAN FC. You  DO  need to approach the player. 

Ever the inattentive older brother, Colson left his sister behind in New York to care for their parents. Now, she has decided to follow him to Fenrir. His dedication to his career as a biology professor and his intellectual pursuits make him appear detached and self-centered, prioritizing academic achievements over familial connections. This could lead to instances where he is unavailable for important family events or occasions, inadvertently neglecting his familial responsibilities. His sharp intellect and tendency to critique or judge others based on academic standards might create a barrier to understanding his sibling's emotional needs or personal challenges, making it challenging for him to provide empathetic support.

-

Colson Kim (our  BYUN WOO-SEOK ) is looking for their  EX/ ACADEMIC RIVAL. They’re an  35 UTP, who look like  LITERALLY ANY 35 YEAR OLD FC. You  DO NOT  need to approach the player. 

Colson's brief yet intense relationship with his ex and academic rival began as a whirlwind of intellectual debates and shared ambitions. Their two-month affair was fueled by a competitive spirit that mirrored their professional pursuits in the academic realm. Their conversations oscillated between passionate arguments over scientific theories and moments of intense physical attraction. However, their egos clashed just as fervently as their intellects, leading to frequent conflicts and power struggles. Ultimately, their relationship imploded under the weight of their mutual desire to outshine each other, leaving a bitter residue of resentment and unfulfilled potential in its wake.

-

CELESTINA CHIARELLI (our  ALICE PAGANI ) is looking for their  COUSINS (3) . They’re an 25-30 HUMANS OR WOLVES, who look like  MILLY ALCOCK, FELIX MALLARD, MAYA HAWKE, OLIVIA HOLT, RUDY PANKOW, DIANA SILVERS, KATHRYN NEWTON, JACOB ELORDI, HUNTER SCHAFER, JESSICA ALEXANDER, KIERNAN SHIPKA, SABRINA CARPENTER, OR UTP. You  DO NOT  need to approach the player. 

Cece's relationships with her cousins are a mix of complexity and kinship. With some, there's an underlying tension stemming from differing life paths and perceptions of success, yet a shared familial bond ensures occasional moments of understanding and support. They navigate between admiration and envy, finding common ground despite their differences. In contrast, Cece's connection with them can be characterized by a carefree camaraderie and a shared rebellious streak. They can also bond over spontaneous adventures and late-night escapades, finding comfort in each other's presence amidst the chaos of their lives. Together, these relationships can vary from loyalty, rivalry, and mutual understanding intertwine in unpredictable ways. These can be on either sides of the family - her fathers’ surname is Chiarelli and is a descendant of a long line of wealthy men!

CELESTINA CHIARELLI (our  ALICE PAGANI ) is looking for their  AUNT UNCLE OR AUNCLE . They’re an 40- 50 UTP, who look like  KIERAN CULKIN , ROSAMUND PIKE, RACHEL WEISZ, MILO VENTIMIGLIA, LEE PACE, JAMIE CLAYTON, RYAN GOSLING, CHARLIZE THERON, JESSE METCALFE  OR UTP. You DO NOT  need to approach the player. 

CECE is of Italian/white descent and has an older brother named Angel Chiarelli who is like a guardian to her since she doesn’t speak to her parents. This family member briefly took Celestina in when she ran away from home in Verona, so your muse can live in Italy, France, or wherever your heart desires! Cece is not the easiest person to get along with, and this brief living arrangement could have ended badly to the point where she was kicked out, if you love drama! This person can be on either her father’s or mother’s side, but please note that in the game, her father has recently passed away due to drunk driving. This could add a level of angst. This relative could also be one of the few, aside from Angel, who understands Cece, maybe empathizes with her, or calls her out on her terrible behavior!

-

NOHEMI VALDEZ (our  JENNA ORTEGA ) is looking for their  penpal. They’re an 21-25 HUMAN WITCH OR WOLF - UTP, who look like XOLO MARIDUENA, ANNA LAMBE, HALEY TJU, MINNIE MILLS, D'PHARAOH WOON-A-TAI, RISH SHAH, ARAMIS KNIGHT, THOMAS WEATHERALL OR UTP. You  DO NOT  need to approach the player. 

Nohemi is seeking to reconnect with her old pen pal, someone she lost touch with a couple of years ago during her travels to Fenrir. This pen pal, who could be from California or Colorado, is someone who understood the depth of her experiences, particularly the abuse inflicted by her mother. Nohemi longs to rekindle this meaningful connection, hoping to find solace and understanding in the written words of a kindred spirit who once offered her a refuge through their correspondence. She enjoys stimulating conversations about books, history, mythology, and other subjects, and brings cultural depth from her interest in museums and heritage. Her unique perspective adds intrigue and depth to her letters. Nohemi hopes to find that kindred spirit with whom she can share her journey once more, explore new ideas, and build a meaningful connection that transcends the written word.

-

NOHEMI VALDEZ (our  JENNA ORTEGA ) is looking for their  MENTOR. They’re an 40- 45 WITCH, who look like  JON BERNTHAL , JD PARDO, CLAYTON CARDENAS, TESSA THOMPSON, SINQUA WALLS, NATHALIE KELLEY, STEPHANIE BEATRIZ, DIEGO LUNA, OR UTP . You  DO NOT  need to approach the player. 

She doesn’t know it yet, but Nohemi is cautiously seeking a mentor who can guide her through the complexities of her witch powers. Trust, a delicate and fragile entity, has always been difficult for her to build, given her tumultuous past and the scars left by betrayal and abuse. This budding mentor-mentee relationship is still in its nascent stages, each interaction a step toward mutual understanding and respect. Nohemi is slowly opening up, allowing herself to trust and rely on this mentor, hoping they can help her harness and control the powers that both intrigue and terrify her. She yearns for patience and empathy in her mentor, someone who can see beyond her guarded exterior and nurture her abilities with kindness and wisdom. Double points if this mentor is someone she met at the Library, or a professor on campus at Park College.

-

LILETTE VAZ  (our GINA TORRES ) is looking for their HALF OR FULL-SIBLING. They’re an  39-45 WITCH , who look like JUSTINA MACHADO, RAÚL ESPARZA, NATALIE MORALES, UTP WITH AT LEAST HALF CUBAN DESCENT. You  DO NOT  need to approach the player. 

DIFFERENT FATHERS OR MOTHERS - whichever works for you. This could be a happy family or a separate one, and dynamics are entirely negotiable!!  You can also pick their surname since Lilette has taken her spouses’. Lilette grew up in Cuba, and moved to Brazil for graduate school and work so they could have lived together briefly. As an older sister, Lilette As an older sister, Lilette would embody a blend of nurturing care and intellectual stimulation, always encouraging her younger siblings to embrace their individuality and pursue their passions. Her love language, centered around acts of service and quality time, would be evident in the way she supports her siblings' endeavors, providing thoughtful advice and lending a helping hand whenever needed.

-

LILETTE VAZ (our GINA TORRES ) is looking for their  BEST FRIEND . They’re an  45-50 WITCH ( PREFERABLY SAGA COVEN - not a deal breaker though!!)  who look like KIM YUNJIN, ZAHN MCCLARNON, LAZ ALONSO, ADRIAN HOLMES, PAUL RUDD, JUSTIN KIRK, AISHWARYA RAI, MONICA BELLUCCI, VERA FARMIGA, KEANU REEVES OR UTP. You  DO NOT  need to approach the player. 

 Authenticity forms the bedrock of their relationship, with honesty, trust, and mutual respect at its heart. This genuine connection allows them to share their deepest fears and greatest aspirations without judgment, creating a safe space where they can both grow. Lilette’s courage in standing firm in her beliefs inspires her friend to be more assertive and unwavering in their convictions, while her friend’s empathy and compassion teach Lilette the power of understanding and patience in disagreements.

remembering this 30-40 year old woman guiding this writing workshop i was at 5 years ago who got all giddy when someone put on a ween song. thinking about her

[rayeim0gen]

The fucking healthcare system doesn’t get to ignore my pleas for help for 3 years while my mental health spiralled out of control and my life burned to the ground and I lost friends, family, and everything I owned, while I was repeatedly turned away from the hospital and straight up told “getting in isn’t an option for you, there’s nothing the ward can do for you anyways” then demonize me for being a pot smoker.

After being shipped off from the Regina ward to “try” to get help from the Dubé because I had zero intentions of staying in Regina.

After getting into stoon on the bus around 11am and immediately bussing to RUH to try to get into the ward (after an acquaintance told me that that she would call in a “mental health warrant” on me if I didn’t go directly to the hospital.

I sat in the waiting room till 4:30 AM THE NEXT FUCKING DAY, a Sunday, to be told that I wouldn’t be getting into the ward and that I had to leave immediately.

I asked her where the fuck I was supposed to go at 4:30 am on a Sunday on a -40° day in December?

“I dunno”, she shrugged, “try the homeless shelter” was her reply.

“And how do you expect me to get there?” I snapped back.

“Well we will give you a taxi voucher THIS TIME, but next time you come here EXPECTING to get help, make SURE you have a way to leave, because you will NOT get another one next time”.

I was speechless.

So I get my precious taxi voucher and get dropped off outside the Salvation Army Shelter downtown, where I had to beg for even a space on the floor because “you are aware this is a mens shelter, right?”

They almost didn’t let me in. I had to beg. At 5am.

I managed to find a few square feet to call my own, but didn’t manage to get any sleep, and got kicked back into the street at 9am.

I called a friend in Lloydminster in a panic and told her I was out of options and stranded in Saskatoon. She bought me a bus ticket to Lloyd for that day and told me to come stay with her.

I stayed with her for a couple weeks, then Danielle’s for a few weeks.

After my student loan application to try to go back to school was rejected, as well as EI and every social assistance program I could find, I was ready to kill myself.

I had my plans, I had my supplies, I was alone in the middle of nowhere. It’d be at least a ween before anyone noticed.

I was sitting there in that Sunday morning, which was also the anniversary of my mother’s death.

I was fully ready to be reunited with her.

I was sitting at the table with a bowl of cereal, proofreading and putting the finishing touches to my suicide note. Which I was planning to have scheduled to automatically post to Tumblr a few hours later.

That idea I got from Lelah Alcorn (R.I.P.).

Just as I was finishing off the milk in the bowl I got a call from Kohlbie Nieman saying their roommate was out of town and I could come and stay with them for a few weeks to look for a job and a place to live.

Suicide postponed for a few weeks, at least.

I made a “death before Regina” vow to myself, which I fully intended to keep.

When I got the eviction notice from the apartment (when I ended up homeless), I tried to hang myself. It was the closest I’ve ever came to being successful. I’m only here because the knot in the rope holding it to the rod came untied when I went unconscious and limp and collapsed onto the floor.

But “there’s nothing the ward can do for you anyways”.

Be fucking thankful that I DON’T have an addictive personality and was able to cold turkey off of meth when my supply ran out. I’ll be dealing with the dental damage for years to come.

Then when I try to discuss and process it with Dr. Dungavel she cuts me off with “you can’t keep living in the past, you have to start moving forward” and wouldn’t let me talk about a single thing I went through.

Even she discarded me when I was broke and homeless and told me to “call and book another appointment when you can afford your meds again” leaving me to withdraw from my SSRIs alone without help.

I’m just supposed to move on and be fine. My life is ruined. My credit is fucked. I’m under mountains of debt. My rentalsman record is ruined. I lost everything I owned. I lost friends and family because “you need to stop lying to your doctors and us” because the shit I faced trying to get help was so outrageous that no one believed me that I was actually trying to get help.

But nope, I deserved it all. I’m a raging narcissist that deserved everything that happened to me and I was never actually trying to get help. I have BPD (that’s likely misdiagnosed autism). Nothing that comes out of my mouth is to believed. The second I show an ounce of emotion I’m being manipulative.

I can honestly say that I wouldn’t be alive if it hadn’t been for River. Fae’s the only person who never turned on me. Fae was the only stability I had.

There were multiple times I was 100% ready to kill myself, down to having a plan and all the supplies I needed to do it successfully.

There were multiple times I thought to myself “ok, I’ll spend one last night with fae, and I’m killing myself tomorrow”. But after spending the night with fae, I realized that I couldn’t leave fae behind and that I had to stick around, if only for faes sake.

I’m only alive because of River.

Without question.

Although most days I wish I had just gone through with it and offed myself for good. Would have saved me a lot of pain and trauma.

And now I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Jacey Hobbins.

I know I would have went back to Meth after I got laid off in October and was off for 5 months (still haven’t found stable employment, currently working a 2 month contract).

She’s amazing. She’s been my rock. I have her and Teri Michelle to thank for helping me finally get into the Dubé this past January.

I’ve been stable and doing ok since, enjoying every day with my boo. I have a partner and a cat that love me.

My future is fucking bleak. I’m rebuilding my life from nothing. But her, her love, and her awesome family, are reason enough to give it “one day at a time”.

I love you, boo. You mean the world to me. I’m so lucky I met you.
