Okay I took a cold shower, wrote and deleted a sad post and now I feel less like the most evil, heartless monster this side of the Mississippi. We persist.

Showed Mom the Barnaby cosplay idea. She thought it was just for Halloween. It's not. Kicker is that she doesn't even know that Barnaby is indeed on the spectrum and a positive (and accurate!) Representation of being on the spectrum. I wonder how she will react to the actual cosplay? Assuming Spirit Halloween doesn't sell feathered capes that are big enough! Still need to work on the tail feathers and jacket if I can't find it. I literally just got started with the head today. It's on my TikTok

yes she’s the source of many of my worries and problems and she will never love and accept the person i’ve grown to be and the facets of myself that i hide from her but when i look at her in times of vulnerability i weep for her and if anything ever happened to her i would kill the person responsible

my mother gave me a lot of attention when i was young, then none at all half my life ago. This is why i’m only half gay and neurodivergent, i didn't have a shröedinger's mother, just a bipolar one lol

traditional child-rearing sensibilities maintain that if a mother gives her son attention he’ll turn out gay, and if she doesn’t he’ll turn out autistic. if this is true, then logically every gay autistic person was raised by a mother in a constant state of quantum uncertainty, simultaneously giving and not giving affection. i call this hypothetical parent georgine bauer—schroedinger’s mother

✨Merry Christmas and happy holidays ✨

Initially meant to draw art of the actual nutcraker tale but I blinked and this happened. Anyway, I'm not good with words but I wish nice winter holidays to you all and a nice day/evening✨ Bonus Idia as the crazy uncle Drosselmeyer scribble under the cut

☆ "Oh, 621!" It was a bit of a relief that so many familiar faces from her previous stay in the city were still around. Suletta had problems making new friends even though she seemed sociable. She actually had a lot of social anxiety that she had only recently started to improve with.

"Well... It wasn't really either of those things. To me it was like I just took a really long nap..." Nothing had changed back home as far as she knew. She was still about to confront Ericht and her mother.

"Suletta? Your actually here?" For awhile 621 was pretty sure they had just fallen off the face of the city. Or according to other people may have found her way back home. But there was no denying that very bright red hair in the distance. Even if they never really spoke too often.

"I thought you had gotten back to your own world safely. Or you know...something worse."

Reading Magatsuhi's memory scrolls: Aw it's a tragic story about a poor girl who suffers and only wants to reunite with her mother who's already dead. Sad, but nothing groundbreaking compared to the other shiki backstories we've had so far

Actually reading her event story:

Imagine enduring endless pain since birth for the one person you love the most, your mother, to the point that your body becomes completely numb to it. Only to later realize that her love was never what you thought it was, she's actually horrified of you and enjoys seeing you in pain because your very existence brings her immense grief and trauma. And also your real father isn't the mad scientist torturing you, but the disgusting violent god of disaster whom the mad scientist forced your mother to have a child with. Oh and you merge with said god at the end 💀

idk if it means anything really, but i think it's interesting how after all their time together as a couple in a christianity-adjacent world, lucifer and lilith only had one (1) child, and it was only 200 years ago at that

Delenn: I’m sorry, I just can’t remember the word for what I’m thinking of.

Sheridan: Maybe I can help you find it?

Delenn: It’s a food sword? a sword for your food?

Sheridan: Do you mean “knife?”

Delenn: Yes, that’s it! Knife!

a mildly terrifying thing about my brain is how easy it is for me to adopt terms and vocab into my regular speech. this month alone i have started saying swag money, slay queen girlboss, and toodles. these are now staples of my vocab. horrific

why is something so simple as a conversation with my mother so draining

Thurs 1st August

2.39am and I am wide awake bc my mother in law is being a total nightmare. She's been mostly great all through wedding planning, they are doing us a huge favour by looking after Maggie so we didn't have to put her in kennels. But now they've suddenly decided they really wanted to stay at the hotel, which we said 8 months ago when we asked them to have Maggie that we didn't want her staying there, bc she would be stuck in the room all day, and if a cleaner went in she would be territorial of the room so she'd probably have to be muzzled, and we would be so stressed about making sure people were going to check on her etc. They said this was all fine, they were planning to go home on the night anyway, no problem. But now because there are empty rooms they are having a fit that they can't stay. I get that that's frustrating but we would be so uncomfortable with Maggie being in a hotel full of 60+ people, she'd be so so stressed and it would not be fair to her.

So his mam has then been telling us we shouldn't be paying for empty rooms, but it was in the contract we signed 18 months ago that any empty rooms still need paid for because they're all booked out for our guests, which is fair and from what I can tell is standard for any wedding venue so we would be in the same situation literally wherever we had the wedding. We've explained that to her several times over the past few months and she would not take no for an answer bc she's used to kicking up such a fuss that people just give in to her.

So she had been having this discussion AGAIN with Matt yesterday, and she said she was 'going for a walk near there anyway so she would pop in to talk about it' and he told her not to, because there is nothing to discuss, everything is under control and nothing needs changed. The venue then emailed us saying she had been in wanting to discuss the rooms and thank god the wedding coordinators weren't there to discuss with her. So they emailed us saying rooms can be made up at the last minute if anyone else decides to stay etc as I think they assumed that was maybe what she wanted. Matt sent her their email and said Idk what you wanted to discuss but there's the reply, and she replied 'they said the wedding coordinator would call me and I told them not to tell you!'

Obviously Matt's reply was of course they told us, it is actually our wedding. Then she starts saying how upset she is that she's being left out of the wedding and feels like she doesn't know what's going on. But we've TOLD HER every single update, we talk wedding planning every time we see her, I've offered to take her dress shopping multiple times and she didn't want to go with me, I asked her to send photos of her mam for a memory table and she just never did, we asked her to make our cake, she is a witness to our marriage and will be on the fucking certificate. What else did she want?! She's been just as involved as, if not more than, anyone else. We said from the very start we wanted to do it all ourselves and that's what we've done but we've kept them in the loop the whole time. I genuinely don't know what else we ahould have done. I'm at my fucking wit's end with her I am so stressed and it's literally all because of his family being dicks. My face is breaking out, stress eczema is coming out, I can't eat or sleep. I had a bag of crisps and 4 squares of chocolate for dinner then went to bed and lay awake. His one brother and his wife who we get on really well with have been so supportive bc they've already been through this. Like we were so worried about my family behaving themselves but they're all actually being really chill about everything. We really didn't think his would be such a nightmare

But on the bright side, my sister in law (the one married to the nice brother) helped me make these lovely glasses for everyone having hair and makeup done and it took us 4 hours and we just ranted about this stupid fucking family the whole time and it was v v cathartic
