[scenes from a marriage]
@coggirl.bsky.social: I have never been given even one affection
Me, who just gave my wife many keeses: 🥺
My wife: I was only joking. I was emulating the cat
Me: *hides under a blanket, also emulating a cat*

1 - to be fair she also suggested simply handling me loose slices of pickle without any kind of dish or paper towel which feels like a war crime

2 - I really did just want to hold her hand. I don’t even like Swiss cheese on its own.
[scenes from a marriage]
Act 1
Me: You know you don’t need to solve all my problems to be worth one pickle, right?
@tenofsword.bsky.social : …. that’s a wild sentence you just said with your human mouth

Act 2:
Wife: I’m not trying to steal your cheese, I just want to hold your hand

Act 3 TBC

I think my wife is downplaying the part where I *DIDN’T* smack her phone across the room even though the cat urges were strong and I should be rewarded for being such a good wife and also person.
[Scenes from a marriage]
“I’m such a good person. I was struck by the sudden cat-like urge to smack your phone across the room and I *didn’t*”

Reader, my wife says this immediately after exiling me from blanket time for the crime of laughing when they contorted themselves into a human pretzel.

Am badly missing certain US foods. But I'm being very brave about it.

Have realized my anniversary with @coggirl.bsky.social falls not only on St Dwynwen's Day, but also on an even more important holiday...the anniversary of that time Tolstoy bought an unnecessary horse.

Holy shit, @coggirl.bsky.social and I have been married a whole year. How did that happen?

Speaking of commitment to the bit…can’t lose my wedding ring if it’s an entire forearm tattoo…or if I do, we have bigger problems on our hands than misplacing jewellery. Oh how I love those pieces.
A year ago, in preparation for our wedding on the 25th, my wife @tenofsword.bsky.social and I got our wedding tattoos done by www.instagram.com/ivynightwind...

Scenes from a marriage. My wife sometimes forgets who she married. You cannot throw a gambit at me. I am forever committed to the bit.

Happy birthday to my amazing wife, @coggirl.bsky.social. You are the star by which I chart my course (even if you never stand in healing range and even if, according to that one cameo from Tim Downie, you being an Astarion girlie is a red flag) 💕💕💕

What's it take to get some dinner?
What's it take to bring it home?
Hurry up, it's time for supper
Order up, it's hot to go

This album is fucking sending me
Kidz Bop 50 sure did make some bold lyrical choices.

Happy Anniversary of that time the ‘tism meant the US thought my future wife @tenofsword.bsky.social was trafficking me to Virginia for nefarious reasons & made me miss my connecting flight while they called my dad to confirm he knew what I was up to….

It’s wild to think it’s been a year already 💜

We found a mystery mix CD in the car’s player Saturday while driving back from Tenebrae (guess it was there when we got the car) that will not eject. Today we got three tracks:
Track 11: Steal My Sunshine - Len
Track 12: Sound of Silence - Simon and Garfunkel
Track 13: Red Vines - Aimee Mann

Oh hey, my wife! Go follow @coggirl.bsky.social, she's pretty okay.

No Broken Wheel tonight. Probably for the best as it gives us an extra week to think of how to handle the elephant (read: five displacer beasts) in the room (read: the woods by that barrow where we found our second Orkney brother). How many crimes will my wife commit with Gawain from Wish? Discuss.

Tonight is another session of Broken Wheel. Then tomorrow is Midnight (why did I decide "get up at 7 to play D&D with my NZ friends" was a good plan?) and Witchlight. Then Saturday is Tenebrae. So much TTRPG and LARP. At least this month my once a month Sunday game is not the same week as Tenebrae.
