I made a chai-spiced pear pie today! It came out super tasty, the pears almost jellied in a long, slow bake and the pastry is super crisp, way better than I was expecting with how hot my apartment is today. I feel like a true pie baker!

(Recipe is here, and I definitely recommend it: https://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-make-ahead-chai-spiced-pear-pie-250369)

I'm curious, does it look like Grace's gait is going to return to normal, or does she still do front-front-back-back? Does strange gait have any long-term impact on cats? Thanks!

She walks with a normal gait pattern now, though she does hyper extend her front legs a bit while walking

...It took them a couple of tries to get this kissing thing right.

straydog733 replied to your post: hey folks big or small, what’s getting you through...

Playing Dominion online. Also, the S2 finale of What We Do in the Shadows.

ooh, What We Do in the Shadows! i should get caught up with that, loved the movie and I like what I’ve seen of the show.

Ooh, 4, 15, 16?

4. do you like your name?  is there another name you think would fit you better?

I do! It’s not super common, which I prefer, because meeting other Andreas is super jarring to me. Also no effort to give me a nickname has ever stuck, which makes me think this is probably the name I should have.

15. five most influential books over your lifetime.

This is so hard. At kind of a guess...

- Everworld #1 by K.A. Applegate

- Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carol 

- The Witches, Roald Dahl

- The Phantom Tollboth, Norton Juster

Maybe a tie between My Father’s Scar, the first explicitly gay novel I can remember reading, and of all things, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, which made 15 year old me realize that you could Do Shit with narrative nonfiction. This is so hard.

16. if you’d grown up in a different environment, do you think you’d have turned out the same?

I’m not sure! I grew up feeling like a real outsider in my hometown, but I’m an only child and kinda shy and indoorsy, so even in a very liberal city where I felt like I fit the culture better I’m not sure I would have been that different. I might have pushed less hard to leave town and go see all the shit I saw in my 20s though, and if that hadn’t all happened I have literally no idea what I would be up to today. Would I still have roughly the same personality? I think so. Would I be me? Hard to say.

💭 ☁️

💭 - when did you realise you were lgbt?Funnily enough, it was probably about the same time that I got into ZR ahaha. It allowed me to meet so many other lgbt people who were old enough to act as role models to me and help me understand the way my attraction worked. I was probably 18? I thought I was bi at first, but after time and a lot of self reflection I realized that being a lesbian was my truth. ☁️ - where do you see yourself in 5 years?  Employed, hopefully. I’m honestly not too sure. I know where I hope I’ll be -- somewhere where I have friends, and somewhere I have passion in my work. Hopefully with at least one of my personal projects published and doing well and another int he works. I don’t know if I’ll have love, and I don’t know how much success I’ll have, but the one thing I know is that I’ll still love my work and the art I do.

  “he was rambling on about meat and souls and blood...

God I loved this episode. “What bothered me most was that I didn’t know which one it was. If I’ve been made to eat human flesh, I at least want to know what it tasted like!”

Yeah, I liked this ep, it was a good disgusting/interesting/mysterious story.

Minkowski for the headcanon meme?

Give me a character and I’ll tell you my headcanon for:

What they smell like: I imagine she smells like raspberry lotion and standard issue soaps. With a hint of sweat from her daily exercises and workouts.

How they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc): She’s a starfish sprawler. And if someone is there, she’s a cuddler.

What music they enjoy: Well obviously muscial theater classics, but I also like to think she loves electro swing and some classical rock.

How much time they spend getting ready every morning: Hardly any time at all, except when it comes to her hair (since I headcanon her with tight curls bordering on an afro) it takes a while to sort through that. Gotta take care of her hair ya know?

Their favorite thing to collect: Records and rocks. She got a bit interested in rocks during middle school and collecting them never went away, so she has shelves back home FULL of crystals and gems she’s collected over the years.

Left or right-handed: Both!

Religion (if any): N/A I don’t headcanon Religions for anyone, since I’m not religious and I don’t know what’s what enough.

Favorite sport: Soccer/Futbol. 

Favorite touristy thing to do when traveling (museums, local food, sightseeing, etc): Museums for sure, as well as some sight seeing, she generally just likes spending time with her husband or family on trips, so anything is good as long as it’s together.

Favorite kind of weather: Fall sunshine.

A weird/obscure fear they have: Trypophobia, mostly stemmed from her time in the military. 

The carnival/arcade game they always win without fail: Dance Dance Revolution. That is, until Eiffel came along.
