oh man. did i tell you guys my dad is a sci-fi author
#hes not super mega famous or anything but hes written. many books#<-- forgot the exact number#he also isnt doing too bad in terms of social media followers#i remembered bc of somethign i was gonna say in my last post#as an example of my family taking turns being an obnoxious dork so everyone else can act like theyre suffering#basically every year just after thanksgiving#my family puts up the christmas tree and decorates it etc#and my parents always take a bunch of pictures of us decorating etc#so my mom goes to take a picture of me. and my dad jumps into frame to do a stupid pose holding the star topper above his head#and i of course cringe really hard (played up of course - i have lived with my father for all 18 years of my life and am unfazed)#so now every year we recreate that picture#but#the original picture went on the be the cover of#[casually checks his amazon]#a whole series#(3 individual books + a collection of all 3 in 'one handy volume')#it's a version cropped to only contain his face + it's covered in a wall of brightly colored text#but it's there#i cant decide whether to mention his name bc#i dont mind my tiny following knowing who my dad is#but if his notably larger following finds my blog. no thank you#if he joins tumblr ill rb from him for the bit but uh. my dad's name is insider exclusive knowledge#for people who are so desperate for scifi content that theyd dm a random mcyt blogger about it#(also yes he may join tumblr. hes been asking me about how it works n shit)#his entire marketing strategy is to be a massive dork btw#he says it himself - he goes on twitter or tiktok and just acts like an idiot#and people think hes funny#i also think hes funny but dont tell him that#and he just makes sure to regularly mention his books/direct people to his page where he keeps links to his books#okay i have to get ready for a party im going to im gonna stop talking about my nerdass dad now
