#how are you all doing

[masterofevilmonkeyness-moem]

Tumblr folks, how do you get people to chat with you here? I’ve been here since 2011 and I really don’t like Twitter anymore but I haven’t cracked the magical code to tumblr engagement yet 😅

[vetisntdead]

Hey guys I'm not dead. Just a life update (and an explanation on why I've been missing): in the last two months I have:

Started a new full time job

Turned 29

Gotten married

Experienced a human heart attack up close (my mother, she's okay now)

In the next week I will be:

Administering oral examinations to two different year groups

Hopefully flying to South Korea (visa pending)

A friend once told me how a door wants a threshold;  how a threshold wants a body; how the body lingers in the doorway long after the passing-through.

(She spoke in reference to fey methods of cross-planar travel; I digress.)

The first time you stepped in, you raised your hand to the lintel  as if to fix it in space. 

I thought you might leave only the gilded print of your thumb; you thought to touch the wood  lightly for fear it might stain.

The jambs and the lintel burn last, I know, still bearing the weight of a structure long gone.

But you flattened your palm to the beam, pressed a negative image of the creases  where your flesh gives and articulates and folds. The summer sweat of your skin anointed the wood: the newly-hewn thirsts for benediction, you see.

The toes of your boots face outwards when you place them by the door.

And yet:

here is the lintel here are the jambs here is the threshold here are the green beans climbing the trellis

here you step through, again and again

Anniversary Post

Okay, so here's the thing: I don't remember the exact date I opened this blog but it was some time in Feb last year, which means it's been approximately a year since I posted my first fic in this fandom!

On that note, I kind of want to do an ask game type thing, but I also want to gauge interest before I open it up (I think I'll burst into tears if I do and get nothing 🥺) so let me know if you'd like something like it? Could be an "ask my characters" (OCs and members included), could be MTL/preferences of the OCs - whichever you guys prefer.

No pressure; just thought it could be fun. Let me know in the comments/ask box <3

hiiiii i tried weed for the very first time two nights ago and got unbelievably horny and had to try and hide it in front of my friends

[mayhemchicken-artblog]

in the hour or so it took me to draw this op turned reblogs off

EDIT: reblogs are STAYING OFF. op was right and correct and i have never regretted making a post as much as this one. if you want to reblog my art you can reblog something else from my blog. or commission me, lord knows i deserve financial compensation for the nightmare this post has put me through
