I also like it when they're like hey what's up or something personal/natural instead of the welcome to wherever how can I serve you bit.

I also like it when they are sitting down or listening to music they clearly enjoy

[fieldbears]

There is something so nourishing about walking into a place of business and immediately thinking "huh, I wouldn't have guessed this place would be playing this kind of music" only to see an employee absolutely head-banging along because today is their day to pick the CD and they are living

Despite what capitalists might think, I do not want to roleplay being royalty in the presence of slaves when I seek professional assistance in obtaining my basic human needs.

One time my dad came to family dinner all excited “you know that show Sherlock? I hear fans are writing whole new stories for it online”

And in perfect unison my sister and I yelled “DAD NO!” So vehemently he stopped in his tracks.

Then a look of dawning comprehension on his face.

“Oh, this is like Kirk and Spock, isn’t it”

And I died right then and there.

I was training someone once (at my former job) and there were long stretches of nothing to do so I mentioned I wrote fanfiction, just for something to talk about. They said they did too, what Fandom did I write for? And ya know... I thought I was safe. It's not a huge Fandom and I'm no one important. However, I forgot that there's a hint of my real name in my A03 name. So I told them. Their eyes got huge and they whispered "I know who you are" with this sense of foreboding. It was an uncomfortable night.

You’re the town’s superhero. Your greatest enemy is the town’s supervillian. However, secretly, your both brothers. This isn’t anything tragic, as your whole destructive rivalry is actually just a massive prank on your third brother, the mayor.

You realize you should’ve done something about the spiders in your attic before they multiplied, gained intelligence and started a civilization. Recently they started worshipping you as their deity.

@lilsherlockian1975 how are your sprikets?

[lilsherlockian1975]

Funny you should ask, @therealbucky05 . When we moved from the old house to the new, I was expecting to be rid of them. Foolishly, I assumed we’d left those little demons on the other side of town. (“Oh, you sweet summer child”, I can hear them distantly whisper.)

I was so very wrong.

At the old house we had only a small, dirt floor basement; more of a cellar (that once flooded whilst a dead raccoon floated within, creating a sort of ‘raccoon soup’, if you will, that my poor husband had to wade through to retrieve said animal - but that’s a story for another time). This house, however, has a full basement. Five large rooms which, for quite some time, allowed much more space for the spricket army to thrive. And thrive they did. Their numbers grew and for a while, they did indeed have full control of the basement level of our home. I had counted it as a loss and though I missed the extra storage space (and access to my washer and dryer), I found that I didn’t really need to decorate for holidays and that the laundromat is quite convenient (who really needs that many quarters, anyway?).

But, when my mother-in-law passed away, my husband and I took in all her cats and gave them the full run of the basement (complete with their own sofa and two brand new cat trees). Frankly, they probably live better than we do.

Then we noticed a distinct lack of sprickets.

I know what you’re thinking: the cats are killing them. But there are no spricket bits, lying about. There is no evidence of a bug culling. It is possible, I suppose, that the bugs have relocated. I, however, have an alternative theory.

I think they’re all in league! They’re working together. Are the cats in charge? Are the sprickets? Who knows (it’s the bugs! The cats are idiots and couldn’t lead themselves out of a dark hallway). Either way, I can’t see the bugs and the cats are happy. I honestly don’t care what’s in charge of who and who’s worshipping what!

How to be brave in the face of bigotry. Be like my daughter!

Follow-up to the follow-up post about my trans daughter and my awful family... 

First off, I know I’ve been more than a little absent from Tumblr and famdom in general for a couple of years. My excuses are many and pointless, however, my family has been through a lot and that’s been my focus. I am sorry, to all my friends here. Very sorry.

So, as I mentioned on my last post, Laufey had moved in with my sister (the ally, not fundamental Christian who refuses to accept my daughter as trans). This sister, ‘G’, is NOT liberal or progressive by any means, but loves Laufey and has researched until she has a very good understanding of what’s required as an ally to a trans loved one, even going so far as to find Laufey the best gender reassignment surgeon in the city.

Until today, I thought Laufey was entirely unaware of the issues my nephew and his wife were causing but that’s not apparently true. Their daughter (who is 15 - we’ll call her ‘C’) has been telling Laufey everything. I AM NOT upset with C about this. I don’t think she was trying to cause trouble. She’s just being a kid, sharing things that upset her with her older cousin. Confiding in Laufey because, apparently, things are not good in her home (again, her mom is an alcoholic) and she doesn’t have anyone else to talk to about it.

This brings me to today: Laufey sent me a text and asked if I could bring her friend ‘K’ (Laufey’s friend who we took up last week for a visit) up for C’s birthday party (we had planned on coming ourselves before all this mess). In the text she said, “I understand if you can’t, considering how L & A (nephew and wife) are acting". I then called because I was surprised and worried about what Laufey knew. That’s when she told me everything and it’s much worse than I suspected - they’ve been saying all kinds of awful stuff to each other in front of and to their kids about Laufey. But here’s the thing, the reason she wanted ‘K’ to come up was because K and C got along really well last week and, apparently not many of C’s friends had come to her party. Laufey was worried that C would feel bad about that. When I asked Laufey how she was going to deal with L & A, she told me “I don’t care. They can say whatever they want about me, I can handle it. But I won’t let them keep me away from my cousin because she needs my love and support. I’m strong enough to deal with their bigotry”.

Can you imagine how proud I am right now? Laufey is so fucking brave and caring that even in the face of such ignorance and hate, she won’t let them change her or her behavior. I have literally never been that brave in all my 47 years. Never. And I’ve never been so proud to be a mother.

(My messages are blue/purple - nephew's drunk wife are gray - like her soul)

My daughter (19 yo) is trans. She recently moved in with my eldest sister, about an hour away. This was my sister's idea - to get her to a larger city and away from our small town's bigotry.

The above messages are from my sister's daughter-in-law, to me and my replies. She's angry, apparently, because she and her husband (sister's son) helped build a deck on sister's house last weekend and neither my daughter or my sister's youngest son (who still live at home, 25 yo) helped. I was there, dropping off one of my daughter's friends for a visit. I saw that Laufey (my daughter) wasn't helping and I took her aside and asked why she wasn't. She explained that they (my nephew and his wife) make her uncomfortable. I assumed this was because they are simply unpleasant people (but now I know it's because they are transphobic). The wife is a funchtiong alcoholic and my nephew suborns and feeds off of her toxic personality. I love my nephew but, honestly, I limit my exposure to them because of this. As a matter of fact, I hadn't seen them for about a year prior to Sunday.

She started these messages, thanking me for taking her daughter to the movies the day we were up there. All sugary sweet and whatnot. Then launched into how Laufey didn't help them. And I might have interacted differently had she not come in hard with the anti-trans shit. And here's the thing...I had no idea they felt this way. But whatever. I talked to my sis and it seems the daughter in law was properly drunk, like she is about 5 nights a week.

I was shaking with rage by the time I typed my parting shot of "you identify as a cunt". I don't necessarily love that word, but stand by it in this exchange.

Even angry and defending my amazingly brave daughter... that was a zinger, if I do say so myself.

[lilsherlockian1975]

Follow-up:

Laufey is, as far as I can tell, completely unaware of this entire ugly mess. Also, I received a message this morning from my sister saying that my nephew wants to apologize. Honestly, I have a feeling that this is a fib or exaggeration, or simply her trying to push the family back together by any means necessary. Basically, I'll believe it when I see it.

It's important to note that my other sister (who i once considered my best friend) has not spoken to me since we argued this past Christmas because she refused to get Laufey a gift, but made sure to get our other child one. She also refuses to use Laufey's name or pronouns.

I fully understand that I cannot protect my kids from everyone and everything, but I can from my family. If they cannot show basic human decency when it comes to their own family, people they claim to love, then I will fight tooth and nail.

P's costume. He wanted me to share it with his "old Tumblr friends" and tell you all that he misses you. And yes, Mr. Lil made it.

I love that Tumblr is like “We got Neil Gaiman to do a question and answer session so send in your questions and maybe he’ll answer them!” as though the man hasn’t spent the last few years hanging out here answering random questions and cementing himself as a widely beloved fixture of this site

[just-a-normal-eccentric]

“We brought in Neil Gaiman”

the fuck you did, he lives here

[wilwheaton]

For real.

[lilsherlockian1975]

Wil would know, he’s Neil's roommate.

[lilsherlockian1975]

About to spend a night with Neil Gaiman!!

[lilsherlockian1975]

I'm so sad. I've lost all my mothers. My mom died two years ago. Then my wonderful mother in law passed away. Now, my big sister, who half raised me, won't speak to me because my child is Trans.

Jaime is completely in love with his bronze medal-winning goddess of a girlfriend, however, she never stays the night… afterwards. Always runs out in a hurry to get home for ‘training’ in the morning. His need for more time with Brienne has driven him to truly desperate (and medically inadvisable) measures.

 “Jaime, we’ve known each other for a lot of years. Just tell me.”

 “I need some of those little blue pills,” he blurts.

 Addam’s smile drops, his head tilting to the side as his eyes fall on Jaime’s crotch. “Performance issues? Really, Jaime, you’re only thirty-six…”

 “I’m not having a problem getting it up!”

 “Then why do you need me to…?”

 “She won’t stay!” he interrupts. Running his hand through his hair, he paces the room. “She won’t stay the night. Ever."
