That one time Lya tried to cut her hair oh-so-short So that nobody could grab or pull at it without her consent...

so one of the things I was vaguely aware of before reproducing was that people hold a lot of anxiety around the gender of babies and 'wrongly' gendering babies (i.e. failing to guess correctly based on their clothes and appearance what their genital configuration is) and having now had a baby: wow, yes, they really do.

I take an extremely laissez-faire approach to baby clothes because like, they are constantly being thrown up on and grown out of and so on, what matters is that they are clean and easy to put on and I am not spending $$$$$ on them. as long as the colour/design is not directly offensive, it's fine. what this means is that people are quite frequently 'misgendering' the baby and then falling over themselves to apologise about it.

and, like, I haven't even had a chance to dress him in anything pink yet; this is based on rules I didn't expect like 'anything with flowers or sparkly bits on it is for girls only'. equally, I do not care when this happens because it's an irrelevancy, but THEY care to make sure I am not offended. so I have started telling them "look, he's only [x] months old; his gender is baby."

and you know what? you'd be surprised how many otherwise average heterosexual people process this and go "huh, yeah, I guess it is." there is a tiny amount of hope for the future after all.

being in love must be so crazy. all my life i have observed what it does to people and it’s like they have a sickness it’s like theyre high it’s like their whole being is feverish with it. i am terrified of it and also terrified of never experiencing it

And maybe this is killing part of me, but it ain't called love without a little tragedy

This drawing of Runt jrwi actually included Blink and Troy but 1, I am not an owl drawing expert and 2, Troy kept looking just so wrong and i was basically done with it when i noticed so i didnt wanna have to redo him entirely especially after trying to fix him for like an hour. So here is just Runt, she was the only reason I wanted to draw them anyway 🫶🫶

Arthur gets his sight back but somehow the world is even more dull. nothing compares to the way john described things to him and he pretends he’s grateful, but a part of him misses the elaborate pictures john would paint in his mind because those instilled him with far more hope (albeit, sometimes fear. thank you john for describing the horrific eldritch monster in detail.) than his own eyes ever could.

i've been thinking a lot about teeth in the suckening. Arthur starts off with purposefully dulled teeth, meaning that he had to rely on Void to properly bite into whatever he'd hunted. when he gave up his appearance his teeth grew sharp and grotesque, preventing him from properly hiding behind the same facade as before.

Shilo's teeth resemble a classic vampire look with just sharpened canines, but he refuses to use them. he's disgusted by the idea of biting into someone; he feigns humanity by drinking from a cup and willfully ignoring that the blood is still from a person even if he doesn't have to use his teeth.

I think Emizel's teeth are the most interesting since every tooth in his mouth becomes serrated from the moment he becomes a kindred. he didn't make much effort to hide his vampiric abilities once he got them, but he couldn't even if he wanted to because his teeth made it obvious that he was no longer human. plus, edward removed all his teeth that one time, wasn't that cool.

there's no point i wanted to make here, these are simply my ramblings. i just think teeth are cool and that it's neat how they reflect aspects of their respective characters.
