Our second son, Dante. Named for Alighieri due to his initial grumpness when we rescued him.
Nowadays, he’s an absolute bowling ball of a bonkerson. Thinks himself a dog (the tail wags give him away). Would be perfect as a countertenor in an opera. He’s like if Zim were a divo house cat. We ❤️ hims

This is the eldest of our house cats: The Baby Leonardo himself, sweet old king that he is. Most loving cat we have ever known. In 14 (soon 15) years, that fact has never changed.
He’s very Ewan McGregor coded; that is to say, much like Obi-Wan to his siblings and as soft-spoken as a monk.🩵

Feeling very sick today.
And apparently, our cats do not like that we are trying to nap to deal with the pain. Just trying to survive… 😢

Sometimes we really miss having a family that cares about us. Then we remember that what we missed? Was the family we *thought* we had.
We had to effectively form our own family within a DID system just to survive. And ppl keep saying we’re “strong” for it, but it rarely feels that way IYKWIM… 😖

Billy and Dom Eat The World is a good series. Makes us want to travel the world again so badly 😞

Promise we aren’t trying to be downers. The truth is this body of ours gets sick very easily. We struggle for weeks - even months! - just getting better from colds, surgeries, bad medicine side effects, you name it. Makes it very difficult maintaining friendships IRL. And we want to be good friends😞

Weird DID question:
When you think of “alter fusion”, do you think it should resemble Garnet from Steven Universe? Or do you think of fusion being like “assimilation” or Highlander rules?
Just food for thought. Let us know in the comments! 🥰

We keep coming across ❄️ ppl claiming how in Ghost of Yotei, that they think the Japanese voice for Atsu is somehow “better” than the American voice.
Spoiler alert: BOTH ARE VOICED BY ERIKA ISHII.
ISTG this is just the video game/VA version of picking on Aabria Iyengar. Leave them both TF alone ☕️🔥

Watching The Glory (2022). This may be one of the best written K-Drama shows we’ve ever watched. Very Count of Monte Cristo vibes. Not even American shows write like this…

Why is us existing or having dreams of being/becoming our happiest selves so “threatening”? We just want to live.
If bigots keep trying to block Liberty and actively burn the paths leading to ppl’s own Pursuit of Happiness, they *are in fact* saying we don’t deserve Life… That’s authoritarianism. ☕️

Almost recovered from surgery. Can’t wait for Friday!

Day 2 of recovery. We forgot how itchy it was to have pumps in our sides. Can’t wait to get this binder off tomorrow so we can finally shower.
Watching James Spader in The Blacklist in the meantime. Think we made a couple really nice homages to Louis Wain. Who knew recovery could make ppl manic?

5 days til top surgery. We are nervous, but hopeful that it all goes well by then.
We would very much appreciate your finest memes and pet pics for support in the hard, bedridden times ahead. We will also accept being checked in on by friendos if you have the spoons, but no pressure. Much love ❤️

We have an “Activity Box” that we made about 10 years ago, filled with suggestions of what to do for the day. One we pulled today said to make a dessert.
10 years ago, we’d be tempted to make cake or cookies. Today, we grabbed strawberries and yogurt. Thought that a thing worth being proud of today

Been very tired and sick this week. Doing our best, it just feels like slow progress sometimes.

Today we remembered the Spider-Man variant we tried writing about on Fanfiction 20 years ago. Hoo boy, that was an interesting time in our life(s). Might be a good time to dig it back up and try rewriting with more/better context. Fair warning tho: gonna be a lot of cross-fictional media overlaps 😬😎

It is very hot in our house. We are craving Chinese food like crazy.
Been on this “diet” from the endocrinologist for a little over a month now.
Just feels like fasting with extra steps tbh. We are not fans of this. “Getting healthier” shouldn’t suck all the joy out of life like this…

Something was in the air yesterday and persists to today. There’s a feeling of foreboding, change in the wind… We’re not sure if it’s the weather or the pattern recognition skills kicking into gear again.
Either way, yesterday is the last day we ever allow ourselves to feel that weak. Never again.

Peter Griffin once had a “did not care for the Godfather” moment. There’s a few films we feel that same way about that might be controversial.
For example: not the biggest fan of Ponyo. We understand the intent, we love Miyazaki’s artistry, but that film just wasn’t for us and that’s okay 🤷😬

On episode 8 of A Court of Fey and Flowers. We love all of the players so much, and frankly we would love to see Oscar in more tabletop campaigns.
We’ve also learned that we are massive RueHob shippers. In a matter of speaking, politely(?), Wuvvy can “cash us outside”.

We are very dissociated today.
Apparently it’s *NOT* normal to see the real world in one eye, and our inworld in the other like Gus from the Owl House. We legitimately thought that was “just how (our) life is sometimes”.
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry TBH. 😂😭😞

TIL that Andrew Zimmern is a SUI survivor, too. We are about a month late for said YouTube video, but we cannot help wanting to adopt him as our cool foodie uncle. Or maybe getting him his coffee/drink of choice. Either way, the love and solidarity is there. 💚

Day 2 of not being on TikTok.
Doing art projects where we can. Heck, a doodle of ours may just be blooming into an abstract art piece.
If there is an afterlife, then wherever he is, we hope Kandinsky is smiling. Dunno if he was a happy man in the end, but at least the synesthesia connects us ☕️🥳

It is very hard not to feel like we’re losing our mind. Or more so than we already have.
We just want to live. Breathe. Be safe. Having hallucinations inside our head is scary enough. So if bigots could leave us alone IRL, that’d be great.
When did wanting to exist in peace become a crime?
