#I hate Couple shirts

[that-vampire-loser]

Andrew hates large crowds. I feel like that’s pretty much canon. He hates how loud it is, and how everyone is so close. It’s overstimulating. But most of all, he hates how everyone touches him; people in crowds have no respect for personal space.

For the most part, he’s great at avoiding them. He doesn’t go places with huge crowds much, like conventions or parties. At Eden’s he finds his booth, and he stays there.

But at the same time, he loves music. Loud metal music. So Neil asks if he wants to go to a concert.

Neil makes it great for him. He lets Andrew hold onto his shirt in the crowd so they don’t get separated. He finds the easiest paths through the crowds. He makes in enjoyable.

Andrew still hates crowds, but he loves the concerts. And he loves Neil.

Okay, but can the crop top trend die down just a little for a bit? I need a couple of new work shirts, but everything I find is cropped. I do NOT want cropped shirts for work. 😭

i really didnt like sunny when I first started watching and it took until season 3-4ish to warm up to it and I fell in love during season 5. ive just remembered why.

I didnt like how terrible the writing was for minor female characters. everything from the way they were written to the way they were directed just felt weird. and it went beyond the way the other characters saw them.

and the second thing was that the frequency with which dennis took off his shirt irrationally irritated me. it gave me jeff winger flashbacks. thankfully ive now seen the light.

question: why has wearing a shirt to bed become the worst sensory experience ever?

Not goth as in wearing spiderwebs and coffins and all black but goth as in wearing jewelry made with your lover’s blood and collecting real bones and wet specimens and listening to goth music

Lemme tell you a gay little story about an eagle.

Our town (~9,000 people) has a couple garages, but there's a big one on the main drag. My family has been going there for decades. I drive past it every day.

There used to be a huge pine tree on the corner of their lot, but last year it became a hazard and had to be taken down.

Shortly thereafter I drive by and see they've hired a guy to chainsaw sculpt the stump into a bald eagle.

Birds own my heart, but nationalism makes me twitchy. I withhold outright condemnation of the eagle, but I'm skeptical. (The original owner—an objectively Good Dude—sold the business to a younger couple a few years ago, and I don't have any knowledge of their whole deal.)

Then it turns out someone on staff is really into making costumes for the eagle. Every holiday. Every month. Stuffed turkey, witch costume, menorah headpiece, bunny ears. These people love to dress their bird.

The changing of the eagle suit becomes a source of joy every time I drive through town.

Until June, when the eagle is bare.

Now look, maybe I'm expecting too much asking my garage to celebrate Pride. But this is a small town. Every time I drive by that stupid eagle—this thing that has previously brought me so much joy—I feel hurt. I feel reminded that there are plenty of people in my liberal bubble who don't consider my community worthy of celebration. I drive to work, I feel bad. I drive home, I feel bad. The eagle is mocking me.

Then my A/C quits working.

So I book an appointent to bring my car in—and realize what I have to do.

I pick all this up at a thrift store for under ten bucks. I print the shirt with some weird heat-transfer fabric crayons I find in a cupboard. I loop gold elastic around the sunglasses and pray they'll fit on the eagle's head. (It is also important to draw your attention to the price of the feather boa.)

(Nice.)

My reasoning is thus: if I show up with a complete costume ready to go, someone will have to look me in the eye and say "We don't believe in that," at which point I'll be finding a new garage. But if they let me dress the eagle, then people in town get to have the joy I've been missing since the start of the month.

I listen to a lot of hype-up jams on my way over. I hate confrontation. I also don't wanna have to find another garage. I want to believe that this decision isn't actively antagonistic, but I'm not particularly hopeful.

I talk through the A/C issue with the guy at the desk, hand over my keys, then take a deep breath.

"Who's in charge of the eagle?"

"Oh, that's all Dylan. Second bay from the end."

I walk down the row of hydraulic lifts and find a disarmingly smiley middle-aged man pouring fluid through a funnel. I introduce myself and explain that, since the Pride parade is this Sunday and the eagle seems to be missing a costume, I have taken the liberty of making one myself, and can I get his blessing to go put it on?

Dylan grins this absolutely giant grin and goes

"Oh hell yeah."

So that's what's up now.

Happy Pride.

did a bunch of tie dye I'm so excited to see how it comes out!!!!! thinking of putting "hormonally insane" on my bi flag colors shirt idk......maybe on the rainbow one.... maybe the bisexuality symbol on the bi one instead. I have blue and gold iron on foil and a cricut so endless possibilities. Gonna do a couple trans symbols for my wife :) and probably hearts or stars for my kid. I also did one in fall colors I'm gonna put "🍁 me alone" on that one probably...much to think about...
