#holiday drama

[mbrainspaz]

My college best friend who's been increasingly distant since I came out in 2020 has apparently told my queerphobic mom that she's coming to visit my family over the holidays. She hasn't said as much to me. I've missed her so much but I've also been hurt ever since she wasn't there for me at all the last time my life went to hell. She also quietly untagged herself the last time I tried to reach out to her on social media. I've kind of had to accept that our friendship as it was has been over for a while. The only time I heard from her this year was when she called on her birthday to tell me some crazy stories but when the call dropped she couldn't be bothered to call back. She never answers my calls. Just heard today that she deadnamed me in a text to my mom, so that sucks. I've suspected for a while that she cared more about keeping my mom than me. Good for them I guess. They deserve each other. I don't know what to do. I'm not mad. If she showed up tomorrow I'd be happy to see her. But it's not like we're real friends anymore. I've mourned that a few times but it is what it is. You can't hold on to people who've moved on.

Uncle brought his situationship to Thanksgiving uninvited and y’all I am TIERED

I asked him why he was thoughtless bc quite honestly I don’t want to bind while eating a gigantic meal and his response was “Her son used to crossdress so it’s okay!”

There… are so many aspects of that statement I can’t even bother to begin unpacking rn.

Lords have mercy.

Borrowed Hearts (1997) - review

Reviewed by Litewriter Borrowed Hearts (1997) is a darling little Holiday Drama great for the whole family to watch or just enjoy it yourself. It was written by TED KOTCHEFF and directed by PAMELA WALLACE and EARL W. WALLACE. The main cast starred SARAH ROSEN FRUITMAN as little Zoey Russell, actresses ROMA DOWNEY as Kathleen Russell (Zoey’s mother), KEVIN HICKS as Jerry Russell which is Zoey’s…

I quite possibly had one of the worst Christmas dinners ever in my family.

2023 y'all. Great way to end the year, watching your family fall apart.

Me, seeking solace from holiday drama, wandering into what I think is the empty living room- "Finally, some space to think!"

Me, seeing my chatty uncle sitting in the corner lounge chair- "Oh, no.... that's a conversation just waiting to happen..."

*heads back into the dining room where everyone's too busy to talk to me*

I just think a holiday romcom movie starring these four would heal me a bit

Long shot, but request drawing of Susie and Noelle comforting Kris? Kris is just trauma central nowadays (most AUs anyway), needs all the hugs.

They DO need a big ol' round of comfort hugs from their friends, for sure!

So as I progress with Paper Memories (my sequel fic), the more convinced I am that I want most of the illustrations for it to look something like this. Obviously, I wouldn't use chibi style to illustrate dark moments or spicy romance, but for the more run of the mill moments, I think this is what I'm going to go with?

I've been kind of fighting with the idea, because I know the grittier illustrations for Never Forget, Never Forgive were kind of a draw in for a lot of people, but considering how huge of a monster Paper Memories is looking to be, I don't think I have the time/energy for that kind of art for every chapter. For the record, the sequel is not quite the same whump-fest and does include a lot more fluff and comedy which this style could be great for.

So I'm kind of wondering what y'all think? Be honest, if like 3/4ths of the chapters had illustrations like this would it bum you out?

do any of the kids have a favorite toy/stuffed animal? idk if someone's asked this b4

nah its alright, no one else has asked yet!

That little snow owl plushie I keep drawing Raj carrying around is obviously his favourite thing in existence (next to Wayne... and watching hockey.. and his dads.. man. he likes a lot of things), he probably has heaps more toys but that's the only one he really cares about. lesser known fact about it is that it was actually an old Hedwig plushie that Cody had lying around, he remembered he still had it and thought, 'fuck it, i'll give this to the kid I just adopted on a whim'

Dave can occasionally be seen carrying around a stuffed kitten or a blanket that he basically came with when Noah and Cody found him. he also inherited Cody's old stuffed emu Jerry (by inherited I pretty much mean given as a last-ditch effort to get him to shut the hell up)

Mike claims to be too old for toys - unless you count the ones of characters from his favourite cartoon...
