your art is the best combo of profound and silly and I'm enjoying it very much. I love the Star Wars that lives in your brain.

thank you very much, i teeter the line of “genuine emotion” and “absolutely brain rot” at all times ♥️

Post office bounty! I’m finally cognitively together enough to actually manage this :D 

Top image, clockwise from upper left:

A pyramid of owls from @bookfanatic which DID arrive by Christmas but which I did not photograph in time for it :D Thank you! 

An awesome vintage car from @kimmiesue13 -- love the stamps you sent too! I saved them inside the card :D

The “Catmas tree” is from @howshouldibegin; the kittens and I both thank you!

The green tree card and the lovely tiny cross-stitch are from @wynjara -- what a wonderful ornament to add to my tree, thank you! 

The pretty red berries card is from Daniel, I’m so glad you enjoy the fic and thanks for being such a long-term loyal reader! (And yes, I am enjoying the deck -- especially showing it off to my envious goth friends :D) 

The Magritte-esque cardinal adn bowler hat is from @3pennyjane, thank you! The Hogfather was kind to me this year :) (LOL SEASON’S MAGRITTE-INGS)

The Llama card and awesome Dummy sticker are from @nonsenseandstuff -- Dummy is going straight onto my laptop!

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is from L and kitty Ripley -- I love the format of card you chose, so imaginative! 

And finally, the stirring mouse is from @mooseman13579 -- thanks Ishmael! I love it. Might hang it in my kitchen. 

Second image (inadvertently themed on “Blues”), clockwise from upper left: 

The tower of green cats is from Lisa -- what a great picture, thank you!

The galactic kitty sticker and glittery snow flakes are from @delphie200, and that’s another sticker going directly onto the laptop! 

Feline Navidad cracked my shit up, thank you Kris & Josh! 

The snowy owl with the narrow look is from Wendy -- it’s a wonderful Chanukkah card :D 

The “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year” card is partially obscured just to make sure nobody’s face got shown who shouldn’t, but thank you Hutts for a lovely photo card! (You have SO MANY FISH.)

And finally, the pipe-smoker in the winter wonderland is from @crimson-creature, who also wrote an amazing poem on the inside of the card. I don’t know if you have it posted anywhere but if you don’t you should share it! 

The third image is a package from @winds-wanderer; I LOVE the Lunch Money pouch and the postcards, and I’m pretty sure you sent the origami (but if not do let me know -- it got separated from its family in my bag :D). I’m planning to hang up the postcards at work! 

And lastly, thank you for your patience, the wonderful tartan bird card and “Fuctifano” coaster (OH MY GOD) are from Rua M; I plan to feature the coasters at my next get-together. Meanwhile, the awesome chocolates and postcard and neat brochure from Hawaii, the blessed candy and the new Ofuda, are from @janedrewfinally. I have to say I’m especially grateful for the Ofuda, since the cats managed to PULL DOWN AND EAT my previous one. I’m hanging this one higher on the wall. :D 

Thank you so much, everyone, for your wonderful cards and gifts. I know it always takes me some time to share them but I do love getting mail and I read and enjoy every single card I receive! You guys bring a lot of joy to my mornings.

Hey, Annie, so I started watching The Untamed because I've been seeing it everywhere (mainly on your blog). I was hooked since ep 1 when WWX criticized the peanuts and then proceeded to eat them all anyway. Also all the cameramen are clearly drunk on power, I appreciate their dedication to the drama xD I'm only on ep 3, so we'll see how this goes.

god the camera crew must have been having the time of their LIVES on that production, every behind the scenes video has massive cranes and, like, huge circling panning shots happening, it’s truly astonishing

I do so hope you enjoy the ride, it’s a long one! ah, episode 3... everyone is young and silly, illegal alcohol is spilled... such good times.

I needed to talk to someone who read to the sky without wings - because that's the only backstory I accept for Poe Dameron and TRoS will not convince me otherwise. Thoughts?

Oh man, I’d take that backstory over TRoS ANY DAY OF THE YEAR (much as I’d take that entire story over TLJ an TRoS - it’s a wonderful piece of work). Or even just Poe’s, you know, canon backstory as far as the comics and Before the Awakening book are concerned. Nowhere in there does spice smuggling feature, seriously. It just makes zero amount of sense (and was entirely superfluous narratively) and I will continue (quietly) being mad about it.

for the choose violence ask - 1, 8, 9, 19. For 911, I guess? :D

the character everyone gets wrong

fhsdk i mean. all of them to some degree that's the nature of fandom but i think chimney probably gets the worst of it. it's either the awful racist stereotyping and intentional misreading of his intentions or then i think because he's the one who tends to act the most cheerful/carefree sometimes people act like he jokes at the expense of others out of malice or like he's incapable of being serious/genuine. both of which are basically the exact opposite of actual chimney lmao

8. common fandom opinion that everyone is wrong about

sent in invisible ink i don't think eddie ever would/will sleep with a bunch of people when exploring his sexuality he's not built that way and the automatic equation of self-discovery with promiscuity that often seems to accompany that opinion doesn't sit super well with me

9. worst part of canon

the ending of athena begins, all of 5x03, and both parent storylines in 6x10/6x11, but especially chimney's. gross ❤️

19. you're mad/ashamed/horrified you actually kind of like…

oh this is actually hard to answer fdshkj i don't think?? i'm ashamed of any of the things i like. i do like albert a lot and i think in general the fandom opinion on him is kind of split

[ilovetextingandscones]

I beg of you to tell me what the fuck a dick trick is, I don't follow hockey much but it's been on my mind since I saw the post 🤣

I'm posting this in public because I want the world to know.

So, a hat trick is when a player scores 3 goals in the same game, right? Well, in 2013, Tomas Hertl scored 4 goals in the same game and some people were saying he was showing off and that that was unsportsmanlike, etc. So his teammate, Joe Thornton, said the following:

"Shut up, have you ever played the game? I'd have my cock out if I scored four goals. I'd have my cock out, stroking it."

And thus the term "dick trick" was coined for when players score 4 goals in a single game.

To this day, no player has actually showed the world his dick after scoring four goals, as far as I know.

this is the most difficult decision of my life actually i want to fuck and marry all of them 😩

[mayonnaisetoffees]

so I started watching 911 because I've seen it on your blog? actually, I started reading fic first and THEN started watching. Gotta say, I think this is a superior way to go about it since I already care about these dumbasses and can't wait for other dumbasses to show up

just wanted to thank you, i'm having a lot of fun

(this is like a week late reply let's pretend it's not)

Ahhh I'm so glad!!!! Yeah it's definitely my go-to fun pick me up show! Like it does have drama and sad/emotional moments but also it's just SO much fun!

When you get to it, Jinx in S4 is just fantastic fun I watch it far too often 😂

Also if you want fic recs lmk if you like podfic at all the 911 Podfic Fest was fantastic
