Rhys and Buttons at Sundance Film Festival 2025!

Buttons is there to premiere Prime Minister, a documentary about Jacinda Ardern that he produced and his wife, Michelle Walsh, co-directed. Rhys is just there to back up his mate. 🥰

[welcome-to-the-fourth-wing]

the cryptid factor is like *rhys darby making a squeaking door noise, somehow every episode* *dan telling everyone a fact that he heard, probably from a crytid itself bc there are no other sources* *buttons wondering when they're going to include him in the intro sequence* *rhys somehow doing a 10 minute long bit, dan isn't sure when it's finished so he accidentally interrupts 3 times* *buttons reveals he has been on a secret adventure to the bermuda triangle or something and met a random celebrity* and it's the most perfect thing ever

Apologies to those who have me on other socials and have seen the video and pics a million times already, but I also wanted to share them here, and it was genuinely the best day ever so.

Yesterday I travelled to London, spent a lovely day in the sunshine with some new fandom friends, then saw the Cryptid Factor live. It was a fantastic experience and the show was as chaotic and wonderful as I'd ever hoped. Rhys, Dan and Buttons also came out after the show and talked to us all about how much the show means to them and how thankful they are for our support. It was honestly so lovely and afterwards they did a whole escalator high five thing which was amazing (no doubt there are videos floating around already!). I got a high five from Rhys which is the next best thing to actually meeting him, and I can honestly say the whole thing was just mad and wonderful and so exciting ❤️

Also when I tell you my heart was nearly thumping out of my chest having him a few feet away from me lmao one of my new fandom friends was literally like "are you OK?" 😂😂

Best day ever 💕

Some of you may remember that our dear Fang, David Fane, was awarded the Fulbright-Creative New Zealand Pacific Writer's Residency! Now, I'm not 100% sure, but I know that Fulbright partners with the Kennedy Center, and so I'm thinking that's what David's referring to in his most recent instagram story. Good luck David! We are rooting for you!

== Love Notes ==

Hey there lovelies! How's your week going? Are you feeling the buzz? There's been lots of news all over the world, some good, some bad, but it feels like a lot of stuff is starting to upturn, even if it's just a little. I've had a few things on my mind the last couple days and I wanted to get them out and send some love. This is a bit of a long one and it's gonna get a bit heavy, so please skip to below the === if you don't feel up for it.

CW: Intrusive Thoughts Sometimes your brain likes to tell you things that you don't really believe (or shouldn't) when things are hard. Sometimes it tells you, you're not good enough, or capable enough, or smart enough, or skilled enough, or you don't deserve good things. Sometimes it tells you things would be better for other people if you weren't around, if you quit your job, or ran away. Sometimes it tells you you don't belong where you are, for any array of reasons. Sometimes it tells you you're unforgivable, or incapable of change.

It's wrong, dearies. It's so very wrong. Your brain sometimes lies to you because it's been trained to do so. By society, by leaders, by people trying to shape you into their worldview. There's nothing wrong with you if it does, it's actually pretty darn normal to feel those things. We deal with so much anxiety in our day to day lives, and our bodies are still stuck on thousands of years of defence mechanisms, and it doesn't know how to cope with the constant micro-stressors we deal with in modern times.

So it learns and adapts to your environment. Your brain is so damn smart-- that it takes what it hears over and over and it turns that inward because it thinks that's what you need. What it doesn't know is that when life is crazy, and the world continues to be this chaotic black hole of unending bad news, it'll adapt and turn things more and more negative. That's why so many people do daily affirmations-- because you can train your brain to do AMAZING things. It takes a long time, and constant reminders, but eventually it gets easier. Toxic positivity isn't helpful, but when you have unending darkness coming in waves around you, sometimes even just a little candle of hope can keep that at bay, and eventually help break up the darkness itself.

============================= So today, I'm gonna push a couple affirmations... and they kinda show up already in my love notes here and there-- but I'd like you take a moment to say them out loud if you can, and take a deep breath in between them --Give yourself a little support for today.

I found some that speak to me here, but you can find them all over the place on the web if they don't speak to you.

----------------

I am still learning so it’s okay to make mistakes.

I am loved and worthy.

I alone hold the truth of who I am.

I belong here, and I deserve to take up space.

I am allowed to feel good.

---------------- You are all of those things Lovelies. You truly are. Do you know why I call you all "Lovelies" so often? Because that's the word that encompasses so much of the good in the world to me-- and that's what you are.

You are lovely, just the way you are.

You are wonderful just the way you are.

You are worthy, and you are loved, and I know sometimes it's so hard to remember that, but keep telling yourself that, and one day it'll come a lot easier. Sending so much love. You deserve so many good things lovelies, please remember that.

Look at our Buttons!! Watch him go!! 😁 It was an absolute joy to meet Leon, Rhys and Dan last night in Edinburgh. What wonderful people they all are. And Buttons' enthusiasm is so infectious. It was a phenomenal show - I don't remember when I laughed so much. Oh, and don't worry, he didn't really hurt himself.

Leia is already very big and can go down the stairs on her own. But please be careful, little mouse. ^^

That's what she wanted to achieve. That Rhys would read something to her.

[welcome-to-the-fourth-wing]

the cryptid factor is like *rhys comes up with a sting that sounds like it would be part of a horror film or perhaps a victorian nursery rhyme about the plague* *dan reveals he's been recording in the middle of a forest at midnight in an abandoned ferris wheel, probably at chernobyl or something* *and amongst all this chaos, buttons is just being smiley and wholesome*
