The update was so good! I'm so excited to see more of home sweet home. Well done ripping out my heart with the mirror scene.

I remain delighted by how you write Luceris. He is... healing? And it should be a good thing, but [insert frustrated noises here]. Such a good character arc so far. 10/10. Can't wait to keep looking increasingly petty by antagonising him. 😂

Thank you for your kind words! 💗

I actually cried a little while writing the Alistair version of the mirror scene because it was so sad, they were just babies. 😭

Luceris is being Luceris but I'm glad you're enjoying the whole journey! Him healing while MC is still suffering is a mess I'm happy to write.

The MC: is bored with existence and goes into hibernation

Also the MC: wakes to the constant sensory overload of the 21st century like

There will definitely be a grace period where you all need to get used to stuff.

are... they named after the streets in chicago? I AM DELIGHTED (please send them my love and regards)

They are! Dearborn and Polk is near where I live. It cracks me up because people from Chicago are like “BAHAHAH THE STREETS!” and people who aren’t are like “Why is one of your cats named after a president?”

I AGREE.

I would like to attend this con, looks much more restful than my usual con

Well, everyone gets the zoomies at 3am at this con, but otherwise yes it is a very mellow event.

We dont even know which of your many, MANY horrible takes this is about, and that's a shame. 8D

EXCUSE YOU all of my takes are hot, fresh, and correct!

I honestly backread my tumblr quite a bit when the ask came in, looking for a post where I had expressed my opinion without being asked. It was remarkably difficult to find and I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad one.

PLEASE TELL YOUR GIRLS I LOVE THEM

They know. THEY LOVE YOU BACK. But like, from under the bed, because you are a strange human. :D

Sam, her nose is so GOOD

AGREED. It’s also very soft when she lets me pet it.

Your daughter has an astonishing bone structure. Those cheekbones! Also, adorable freckles.

They do have very remarkable faces. Every once in a while I go back to wondering if there’s some Siamese in there and if I should get a kitty DNA test done.

This got stuck in my head, and I'll exorcise it by inflicting it on you instead (you're welcome): Whatever else he is, Crowley is an archetype. He's the Serpent in the Garden. He's THE snake. He's why Western civilization has such a hangup about snakes. But the thing about being THE snake is that you're also ALL snakes. The Indian cobra is majestic, but the hognose just means that when threatened, Crowley has to fight down the terrible urge to flop over and play dead as dramatically as possible.

Listen. Listen. In the book, when he got shot by a paintball that's exactly what he did. He is terrible at fighting that instinct.

I also want to point out that the primary defense of a hognose is actually to flatten their neck out and hiss and pretend to be a big scary cobra when in fact they're basically harmless (technically venomous, but their fangs are at the rear of their mouths). Which, you know. Crowley also kind of does in the show at the paintball scene when he shows off his monster snakey head for a second.

He's a very dramatic little shit

Actually glowing irises, or eyeshine? Because going Gollum by lurking in the dark and only being visible when light strikes your eyes has a certain appeal...

Actual glowing irises!

Eyeshine would be super cool not gonna lie but I like imagining random people just seeing 2 glowing red dots in the dark and being like "this place is fucking haunted" 😭😭

Your tag omg. She Who Dwells Beneath. I think all cats require names that make them sound like some flavor of elder god

A sneaky poke from Polk

SHE WHO POKES FROM WITHIN

The couch goblin looks like she used to have an easier time getting under there.

She’s determined :D What’s funny is she didn’t even used to get under there until she was almost too big. And I love it because she has literally no reason to be down there except to play grab-dad’s-foot; sometimes I’ll just be sitting there and BAM she grabs my heel and I have to yell and pretend to be very injured. :D

Submitting another sleep paralysis/hypnagogic hallucination story for the category "the human brain is quite possibly evil and out to get us."

So one day back when I was at uni, I was just kind of dozing in bed one afternoon.

Suddenly, I know with absolute certainty that there's something else in the room with me. I'm on my stomach with my face against the pillow, and yet I know with absolute clarity that some amorphous humanoid something is standing in the doorway, looking at me. And it hates me.

Then, I can feel it standing by the bed, looking down at me.

Then - and this is the bit that still fucks me up years later - I can feel the mattress dip as it sits down on the bed. I can feel my body shift slightly with the motion.

And then I feel it reaching out with one hand for the back of my neck.

Before it can actually touch me, I wake up enough that my body starts working again, and I turn around to see there's nothing there, and I remember being so surprised at that, because I'd had such clear images in my head.

Only later did I connect the dots that the second LOTR movie had just premiered, and I'd been binging the series until I'd hallucinated a ringwraith in my room.

Good times!

i should have filmed my face as i read this. i am sure it was a comical journey of “no. nooooo. NOOOO. o h.”. my heart was RACING at the bed dip oh my god. it actually reminded me so much of the Strange Bedfellows horror short on youtube which i love (and also hate because it’s terrifying).

and then the ending! 😆 i was so unprepared. i hope the LOTR movies treat you much kinder in the future!!

See, “guardian of the rose” just took me straight to Sailor Moon for some reason. How is he with grandiose speeches and general encouragement?

Quite at home with it.
