I normally don't give even small details on stuff like this, and in this case was waiting until I knew better what was going on, but I feel compelled to share at least this big news:

I do NOT have cancer.

Processing the relief.

Yall really out here bout to make me have to play the Balan game, huh.

Quick story;

A friend sent me these little guys a couple weeks ago, and I'm forever grateful.

HOWEVER...Maman asked me, full genuine,

"Why did your friend send you dolls of Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney?"

She has referred to Jamil as Michael Jackson since first sight. So I understood that one. Had to have a White friend explain Paul McCartney after she couldn't (I don't have what he looks like on mental tap and Maman could only point me towards a song MJ and him did together...after he was older.). I understood after White friends showed me younger Paul McCartney. But that was a separate day.

THIS day, after unpacking them, Maman said to put them on the Christmas Tree. It is well into January. I cannot resist a bit. So. Within 30 seconds

She is absolutely delighted at this. She says to at least leave them up until her husband comes home, because he'd really like to see them. He comes home from a long day of work, and finds me, and says;

"I saw the guys you put on the tree! I love them! Please don't take them down, you can't take them from their home!!"

So they live there now. It's already January 28th. We can't take the tree down, that would be removing them from their home. We have talked about removing the surrounding decorations but the tree has to stay.

Looking at a fictional character and exclaiming "that's me!" while loving them thoroughly in a way that you haven't quite figured out how to extend to yourself yet.

Do you think Makoto Naegi is aware that Nagito Komaeda is an anagram of his name and if he's ever wondered about it

One of yall slipped me a small piece of Jamil information in the tags, likely without knowing the gravity, and I must directly state:

It is an aspect of him I don't think most of the people in this fandom would obsess over, especially not to the degree in which I have.

This is "walk around the house and think about the implications" bad.

And when I say it's relatively minornI DO mean (relatively) minor. I don't even have further information on it but my WHEELS are TURNING and ONLY PICKING UP SPEED.

I just spent 10-15 minutes fixating on this, both moving and lying down. Which!!! Anyone who knows me well knows that I specifically would!!! IN FACT MY TERRIBLE SO CALLED FRIENDS SPECIFICALLY HELD T H A T ASPECT FROM ME BECAUSE THEY KNEW I'D DO THIS.

Horrid. Terrible. I have a flight tomorrow. I'm downloading the Let's Play Playlist I've been watching to binge on the flight, I need to remedy this by either getting better or being worse.

My crashout under the cut, it was almost two weeks ago, this is still happening, I'm vacationing to the sun.

[For those who aren't used to me swearing on this blog.... there's swearing. I lost it.]

Like I said this was almost 2 weeks ago.

I"m STILL...

PLEASE UNDERSTAND ONE OF MY MOST RECENT POSTS ON OTHER SOCIALS WAS ABOUT HOW UPSET I WAS I DIDNT GET TO GO TO/PLAY IN A PICKUP GAME A COUPLE MONTHS AGO

I COMPLETELY CHANGED WHICH COAST I WAS GOING TO GO TO FOR COLLEGE BECAUSE ONE HAD A RECREATIONAL TEAM AND THE OTHER DIDN'T.

One of my biggest complaints and most devastating things about being chronically ill has been knowing that playing isn't an option anymore.

Anyway I'm clocking him as a Point Guard. Either he IS a PG or he SHOULD be.

I have been thinking about this all day.

[brodingles]

The Jamil on my Tomodachi Life Island is an absolute failboy and I think he should be allowed to do that.

I would not be saying this if my other miis were an equal amount of fail people; no he has a special brand going on here, and it's both entertaining and fascinating. He cannot be within 5 feet of a soda can without there being a mishap. I don't know why that's a throughline. Maybe it's the caffeine.

For the people who follow Tiny Gents

I haven't forgotten it. It's not even on the backburner. It's my most active project, it is my baby, and no changes to it have been made in any way due to any factors from other media existing or me playing in them.

If anything, I am staunch that it was here first and won't change anything due to the singular reason of other media similarity.

I have been working on it for over a decade, it has roots buried deep in a decade and a half. 15 years.

I am not going to keep my cake to myself just because a similar one made it to the table quicker. Everyone should get to eat.

It's just matured and I'm not doing it alone anymore. I'm excited to share the world with you, and all of the people in it.

The boys can't be back because they never left.

I can't wait for you to meet them, again and for the first time 🩵
