Thanks for tagging me in that post @peacockbluey 💜 I will put mine under the cut

lol I would absolutely seek out and read fan fiction written about me

Your result is so good, especially for being such a fan of Missy! Also, I love the Picrew picture you made (and the one that @culumacilinte did as well)!

Pride day 2! Featuring glitterbeard and my *very* favourite accessory at any queer happening, @peacockbluey. ... Genuinely didn't realise until this moment that my beard matched her shirt

All in all, a banging weekend full of people and music and dancing in the mud and protest and solidarity and joy and NO GODDAMN COPS AT PRIDE THIS YEAR

The happiest of birthdays to my wonderful glorious brainfizzing @peacockbluey To say it has been a ~difficult~ year is an understatement-- and an eyerolling cliche at this point-- but you have managed to flourish even in the toughest and dryest soil, as you so often do. You've turned it into a year of colour and art and of rebellion against entropy and injustice, you remarkable bird. I don't know how I would have made it without you. Let's go out and fucking celebrate when it isn't 100° out 🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳🐳

Tomorrow will be two weeks since we got vaxxed! The immune response really kicked me in the arse-- I haven't been that ill in *years*-- but it was weirdly satisfying, cos I knew it meant my body was doing the work. Now we can... see friends again. Fuckin' go on public transit again. It's going to be weird adjusting back to that, especially since it's not like it'll still be anything like 'normal', but we keep gasping at each other about all previously-normal things we can do again without fear.

Also, did we get all glammed up for a public vaccination in a church basement? Of course we did

New Years plans got cancelled last minute, but that IS NOT STOPPING US from kicking it proper on our own 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻 Sometimes dressing up for oneself is just as important as doing it for a crowd

Mustard! Like, obviously. Also Lime, although idk about this particular chart; pear might be the better match here. But you know what I mean.

I do know what you mean! Chartreuse on this chart might actually be pretty close too, to that kind of bright lime green I love. *smooches* You know me so well

It's my bird @peacockbluey ‘s birthday today! You're always better than I am at these little celebratory messages; I always feel like I'm trying to cram a whole epic ode into a tiny jewellery box and I end up being flip and glib because I don't know how to fully convey the depth of my feelings in such a medium, but I will try! This has been a hell of a year, and almost all of it has been spent together! The first year in our whole relationship that we've lived together, made a place of our own, spent time making art and decorating and getting nerdily excited about couches and blenders. It's been hard, sometimes, adjusting to how that works and finding our feet, and sometimes it's just been the comfortable mundanity of day-to-day life, but most of all it's been full of *joy*, so much joy that I could absolutely burst with it. It's like I've got a cannonball on my chest of love. Getting to make breakfast with you, to sleep in the same bed with you, to come home to you after work, to go on dates with you *any time we bloody want*, and best of all, it's *just the start*. It's only gonna get better.

And even outside that (which, that is a Big Thing), it's been so amazing over the last year-- and the four years preceding it-- to watch how you've *grown* into knowing yourself, daring things you would never have dared before, getting to grips with the hard vulnerable parts of yourself, so much more *confident* in who you are than you might have ever dreamed before. It has been the privilege of my life to help you in that journey, and I can't think of a better place to start your 40th year. People talk about 40 like it's the start of getting old, but for you, I feel like it's just-- the *start*, period. You're such a glorious, amazing human, and you've built so much for yourself, and now you're ready to take off like the round little borb you are. I am genuinely making myself tear up at work, writing this, so, you know, I LOVE YOU A LOT, and this will have to do for a birthday present this year. Next year I'll return to form and write you some Boosh fic :P

@peacockbluey and I went to go see Khruangbin and Ginger Root at First Ave last night, and it was a jam. Also see the lower left for proof that the night itself loves Bluey, as it should be.
