Hello World: I'm Giving Up

To all my friends, family, coworkers, and whoever else might be listening: I’m making this public post to share what’s going on and what I plan to do. I’ll also be sharing this with people who are impacted by what I’ve decided and what it means for them. TL;DR: Without ADHD impacting my ability to manage my priorities, I’m going to need to reprioritize. I’ve promised a lot of things “very soon”,…

You are everything I aspire to be

If parenting has taught me anything, it is the importance of getting down on your hands and knees and teaching not just facts, but love and enthusiasm for the natural world.

This is my son Q and me. I have dozens of photos like this by now, even though he is just two years old.

Every chance I get, I will kneel down with him and show him the little creatures all around us. Especially when they are frogs. He loves frogs for some reason. No idea why.

It is important that we all see this together. It is beautiful. It is magnificent. We are here. It is improbable to the highest degree. It is fleeting, but it is everything we get. And we can get so, so much of it. If we just get our faces into it and really absorb it.

So that's what l'm trying to do here, I guess. Get all of you to join me in the reeds. And I am so happy to have so many of you along for the journey.

Go forth, Tanuki and become a legend! You can (not) run and gain one now!

Trektober Day 2 - Monsters & Magic. I think Worf would enjoy D&D but be a bit of a nightmare player.

When does Tolkien start entering the public domain?

(In reference to this poll https://www.tumblr.com/elodieunderglass/730451774219190272 where I tagged it supporting my own personal theory and added that when Tolkien enters the public domain WATCH OUT)

Tolkien’s works enter the public domain in the USA, uk and Canada 70 years after his death - so 2043 with open season starting 2044.

If we’re all still around in 20 years’ time, make a note of it! I’ll write you a story with unhinged hobbit family structures, the Shire being a place that dampens magic, and the unauthorised yet strangely canonical adventures of Belladonna Took and the Silmarils. It will be 200,000 words long and written in the correct tone, and I promise to do completely immersive research to colour in the background: every linguistic reference, Anglo-Saxon folkway, Icelandic influence, weirdly deep dives into topics like kinship moiety and subtle mischief that characterises Tolkien’s work. This would be so funny to me.

Everyone will be racing to publish basic porn and games; the d&d franchise which will be world-eating in 20 years will finally get to drop the pretense of “halflings,” Witcher and other franchises ditto; all the fantasy writers who have tugged at the tit for so many generations will finally be able to do it openly, and the films will be constant and abysmal. But we, we alone, we happy few alone and free; we will be giggling together, like playing dolls, over what the people REALLY want: constructing elaborate conlang puns with a 200k textual payoff.

It will be my honor to work on this for no reason at all, and I will ceremoniously give it to you in exchange for £7.99. And we will laugh and laugh and laugh

Imagining playfully flirting with Ring, not really meaning anything by it, but it means the world to him. And you keep giving him more.

Thinking he's cute, loving his reactions when he gets flustered, so you keep telling him how handsome he is. Touching his shoulder and gently holding his hand. Each time his face turns red and he does his best to look unaffected. Honestly being more interested in one of the Crown, but not minding having some fun with Ring.

Little do you know that every single romantic gesture means so much more to him than you could possible imagine. His heart beats out of his chest and he thinks it must be real love. That he must be in love, and that you must be too. Why else would you look into his eyes so sincerely, and look so happy when you saw him, and rest your hand on his chest?

It's on a whim when you kiss him. Cupping his cheek with your hand so softly and how he immediately turns pink and his eyes light up. How could you not press your lips against his? And steal his first kiss. Something happens in his brain. And you're suddenly the one.

It's all fun and games until one day your teasing escalates far too quickly. But it's perfectly fine. You were alright with a one-night stand with him. But something in him snaps when you sink yourself onto him and take his ultimate first. And you finally notice this time.

He's thrusting fast into you. Panting in your ear. Going at a feral pace. Possesively wrapping his arms around you. For the first time, he's not shy and you aren't in control. It's all you can do to hold him as tight as you can, the one thing grounding you, as you whine his name over and over and your eyes widen from the intensity. He kisses your ear, whispering how he knew you were the one. How he's so lucky to have you and is never going to let you go. How he can't wait to marry you.

Last Advent, I prayed that I would have clarity by the end of the season re: if I was to join the Church at Easter.

This Advent, I am Catholic.

Thanks be to God.

My Overcommitted Life (Part 2)

This is part 2 of a post I made a few days ago about just how overcommitted I am and how I got here. Now, it’s time to list those commitments. A Lot of Things I’m involved in a lot of things. Ironically, everything on this list I’m doing because I love it and am passionate about it. But as I’ve found many times before, it’s impossible to maintain that level of passion about so many things. And,…

And thus, I rest my case.

What is Howl for me baby?

A Harringrove Werewolf AU!🌕🐺

(I’m waiting until the Harringrove Kinktober starts but here’s a wee snippet.👀)

—

For the human, Steve puts up a surprisingly good fight. He swings, and Billy absorbs the punches like they’re something precious—like they’re fucking love letters sent just for him. He gets hit once, twice, three times, and by the time his back hits the kitchen countertop, Billy Hargrove is in love.

It’s too much. He feels himself relinquishing control to his better half, knowing it’s the wolf in him that’ll fully appreciate this new playmate Billy’s found in Steve. He lets his fangs drop, his brow creases into something distinctly inhuman, feels his hands go rigid as the color drains from them and his claws emerge, razor sharp as always. Built to maim flesh.

When he whips back around to face Steve, Billy knows that he’s breaking the Hargrove cardinal rule of not letting your wolf out in front of humans—but Billy’s beyond caring about Steve or the kids or anyone else discovering their dirty little secret. In fact, he gets a sick thrill as he watches Steve recoil, eyes widening as he takes in all that Billy has become.

Billy knows what they’re thinking when they see him: a monster.

And now it’s Billy’s turn to send his own love letters to Steve.

It got better - I got so much recommended dimension 20 content that I finally started watching. I'm halfway through ep 2 of fantasy high 🤣🤣

Shout out to @iamlivingmusic for (re) introducing me to a new (old) social media platform for me to disassociatively scroll through instead of facing the day-to-day minor tragedies that make up living a goddamn life.

One of my fatal flaws is that I will overcommit to the bit. One time my girlfriend and I were playing gay chicken, where the whole point is to get your face as close to the other person as possible without kissing them and first one to kiss loses, and because of that I just wouldn’t kiss her for like two hours so I wouldn’t lose. At some point pursuit of the bit blinded me to the joys of girl smooching. I was a fool. Let this be a lesson to you all.
