You'd written about theatre a bit. Theatre, at it's core, is creating a different reality. People in theatre tend to believe that theatres don't really belong to them. Theatres are generally considered to be otherwise inhabited. There's a lot of rules regarding luck, respect for the unseen, caution. Sets are never made in a way you could think you're trapped. If a costumer bleeds on a costume it's good luck & should not be cleaned. The presence of Fae would be expected & accounted for.

Replies to the Great Thumb Tragedy of 2017 below the cut :P

Ouch. I swear slicing the thumb hurts worse than other fingers somehow?

I sliced another finger a couple years ago and it hurt like a bear. I had to get Percocet to finally take the edge off. But because my finger was in a splint for a couple days to protect it, I kept banging it on things and making it hurt all over again. Pro tip: Don’t try to catch dishes that are falling. Just let ‘em fall and break and get new ones and avoid an ER visit.

have some ice cream and cake

I didn’t have any cake but I did have ice cream! It’s the miracle medicine :P

Oh no! That kind of cut sucks!

It does, and it still stings :/

Poor thumb :( But that recipe sounds GREAT

It was really delicious! Pretty easy to make too.

Definitely get yourself some ice cream!

Ice cream was definitely achieved! Ben & Jerry’s peanut butter ice cream with peanut butter cups :D

Ouch. Sorry about your thumb!

It’s my right thumb too, so I have to use it for things like typing (especially on my phone), writing with a pen, grabbing, holding, EVERYTHING UGH.

Clio omitted "prank calling Lost's bachelor party" from her list of activities. (Interrupting our Bachelor Party: The Roleplaying Game session.)

I have so many questions! What was the prank call? Did she/her group pretend to be someone else? Were you fooled (even temporarily)? What is the Bachelor Party: The Roleplaying Game? Were you winning or losing? How does one win such a game? On a scale of 1-10, how meta is it to roleplay a bachelor party at a real-life bachelor party?

I mean, she did say that marriages are founded on stories and this sounds like one so *pops popcorn*

I'm pretty sure the dick accessories exist solely to troll the bride?? I'm unclear, but the only bachelorette party I've been to I helped plan & people seemed to like the dicks I brought & laughed & took photos with the accessories & then never posted them anywhere. I did kind of *feel* like a dick for bringing them instead of normal party favors like nail polish.

In general, I would agree that dick accessories exist solely to troll the bride, but I have in mind a friend whose bachelorette party I went to last year (or, half of it anyway, since I excused myself from the bar hopping part of it), and she was ALL ABOUT THE DICKS. You might think a dick straw is a joke party favor, but she wouldn’t touch her margarita until she had one. I love her so much :P

_sends hugs_

Thank you all. <3 I am much calmer now, and a little more philosophical about things (working in academia means lots and lots of dumbshit politics), and I have self-medicated with a bit of yarn-shopping and watching the oh-so-cathartic “Now youse can’t leave” scene from A Bronx Tale. 

It’s going to be shitty for a little while, but my immediate supervisors are great, and I will just keep my head down till the summer break officially starts, and hope it’s all cooled down by the time fall semester rolls around. 

Thank you all again -- you are wonderful! <3

cardboardnymph replied to your post: Seconding that comment about a definite interest...

I kinda dislike how *everything* has conflict. As a kid I watched shows that were “person makes a sandwich” “person says hi to neighbors.” Very relaxing.

It is interesting to me that in a lot of my favorite books as a child/adolescent... well, they mostly had conflict of some kind, but the part of the books that I remember aren’t about the conflict. Like, Robin McKinley’s Beauty had a conflict, albeit a very quiet one, but all the scenes I remember best are like, reading books and making tea. The most memorable bits of the Redwall books to me were usually the feasts, not the battles with rats and weasels. And Wise Child was one of my favorite, favorite books... but I often wanted to stop at about the halfway point, when we were still at ‘Juniper teaches Wise Child how to gather herbs, and weave, and sing, and make cheese’ territory and before the plot kicked into gear.

probablylostrightnow, wakeupshep, kleptotello, cardboardnymph, @ladyeglantine, thievinghippo, servantofclio, al-spudnik, hotmilkytea, and kindervenom -- 

Thank you all so much for your kind words about me, and my writing, and for being so patient and sweet while I vented. <3

I have made the executive decision to bake bread tomorrow, and craft tonight, because I got back from errands too late to start baking but I still need to do something with my hands. 

...and, I have season two of The Expanse to get caught up on while I do. Time to relax, reset, and get ready to work tomorrow. 

Thank you all again. <3

That vet should be ashamed for not doing anything to help. I'm so sorry, Bee, that you and your family have to deal with this now, too. *hugs* <3

I'm so sorry for your loss. The whole situation sounds awful and that vet should be ashamed at their role in this! Losing a pet is devastating and your family's already been through too much. I'd like to pray for you and your family's well-being if that's alright. If not, I still send my condolences. <3

Oh, that's awful. What a shoddy vet. I'm so sorry. :( *hugs if you want them*

cardboardnymph replied to your post “@servantofclio, @thievinghippo, @reconfemmandoforares,...”

Oh, no. That's terrible. A good vet is so important. I'm sorry.

Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry to hear that. A real vet MAKES an opening for an animal that needs help. GDI. And your parents have been through so much already, I'm really sorry.

I'm so, so sorry. Hugs to you and your family -- agreed that wasn't the kind of behavior I'd hope for from my vet. (Our vet stayed open after hours when we had to bring a terminally ill cat in for euthanasia, and sent a condolence card afterward.)

probablylostrightnow replied to your post “@servantofclio, @thievinghippo, @reconfemmandoforares,...”

I'm so, so sorry, Bee. All my love to you and your family. *hugs*

Thank you all again for being so kind. I talked to my parents again today -- they’re still a mess, but apparently this is not...a singular event, when it comes to this vet (Dad talked to a couple of his parishioners and the vet in town is...pretty bad in general). 

I just want things to be easy for them, for a little while. They deserve some peace and happiness. 

Sending hugs to all of you. <3<3 I know the best, best people.

cardboardnymph replied to your post:What does Madame Badger think about Cassandra's...

She wears such tight pants that extra fabric could get awkwardly stuck. She presumably has seaming that lays flat & could also have a gusset at the crotch. She is probably used to having her clothes tailored & could have “eliminated redundancies.”

I sort of like the idea that her pants are so tight that attempting to wear underpants gives her an instant mega-wedgie. And that she’s committed enough to having a fabulous ass and legs (well, a visibly fabulous ass, it’s fabulous regardless of whether her pants are tight) that she just shrugs and skips the underwear.
