Today's existential crisis brought to you by:

Realizing that the only reason I learned to care about how I dress, and now dress the way I want too, is because a power-bottom coworker bullied me into self care.

And now I wonder if I was technically pseudo-brat tamed by this man.

THE DEEP DARK x BETTER LEFT BURRIED

Do constantly restrained shadows and wings justify being a melodramtic asshole?

Vespin thought so.

Can you have friends AND keep your ravenous shadow caged?

Vespin craves belonging, but can a monster balance an imposed friendship and the risk of his own shadow consuming him?

Whenever I am blessed enough to be able to explain some old Minecraft mechanic to my 8yo I always feel like an ancient wizened hermit being asked for sage advice.

Like I am quoting the ancient magica lost to time (or explaining that you can use a trapdoor to squeeze into 1x1 spaces)

Vera Wylde(Council of Geeks) released a YouTube video called - It's Time to Stop Asking "Was Harry Potter Ever Any Good?"

I knew it was going to be a hard watch for me, and I certainly wasn't wrong, but I can't express how important I think this video is for those who like me grieve our loss of HP

I just got asked by a curious young child why I paint my nails.

I thought of every past reason I've said, to signal I'm queer, to make myself appear less threatening, to remember my mom. I realized though that the simplest answer was the best answer.

Because I think they look pretty.

I fear I need to post something less this becomes my "just repost all my wife's writing stuff" account so... Did you know that the regular use of "they/them" as a singular pronoun predates the use of "you" as a singular pronoun!

Asa’s disappearance in 1822, sets off events that result in Io Verity waking in the modern day. Can Io solve the secrets of the past before ghostly dreams become deadly?

Vespin and I share a cynical world view, love birds and the movie Lost Boys. I, however, dress violently more colorful. I would absolutely get cussed out if we met.

2-parter on my most recent ruminations.

My daughters are young enough they haven't started "crushing" on anyone, but still I got asked by another parent how I would feel if they were gay.

The first word that came to mind was "indifferent" because my daughter's attraction isn't mine to control. 1/2

Reason 1534 of why I love my wife:

Helping her draft a pitch for #holipit and having her, as an elder gen Z, complain about how she's too old to learn emojis.
