(Manual reblog; apparently the OP was getting too many notes or something.)

Anyways, I wanna see more love stories where the human gradually grows more monstrous, and that is 100% the happy ending. We all deserve it.

Happy anniversary, babe. ❤️

For probably over a year now, my partner and I have been doing bedtime stories where he reads me a chapter or so before we go to sleep.

Earlier this year we finished The Fionavar Tapestry by Canadian author Guy Gavriel Kay. As you may guess, tapestries are very important in this series' universe; creation is likened to a tapestry and the creator is called The Weaver.

And next, we started on The Wheel of Time, which also heavily features tapestry and weaving metaphors.

I taught myelf crochet in 2017, did a bit of needle felting, and started sewing in 2023.

We're gonna be reading The Wheel of Time for a while.

I told my partner, "You cannot claim zero responsibility when I take up loom weaving."

PS: I am deliberately not tagging this post thoroughly because I want to avoid spoilers, fandom discourse, etc. I like to keep "bedtime story" between my partner and me (and the work itself); at least, until we finish the book or series.

*Husband walks in the room as I’m watching Given, stands there and watches for a brief moment*

Him: Queers?

Me: Yeah! The one with black hair has a big ol’ crush on the one with orange hair, and he’s panicking.

Him: Oh, is it that show? *points to my Haikyuu poster*

Me: …no. Close though! But sadly they’re not actually queer in that one.

Him: I thought they were?

Me: Only in my heart…

OK, that other thing wasn't enough for right now, I also want to talk about why the lilo sketch is SO GOOD OH MY GOD I'M CRYING JUST THINKING ABOUT IT

Putting it below a spoiler cutoff just in case though I don't think it needs it-

OK so- why is it that a sketch where I didn't know what a lilo was until about halfway through (I googled it) still made me cry basically immediately?

I think fundamentally the thing about it that made me just freeze up was the raw viscerality of air and breath as used in this context. Dealing with the passing of a loved one is SUCH a common and universal experience, and any sketch could have done that with "how COULD you shatter her favorite coffee mug" or something, but the idea of something that's not just as seemingly insignificant as a lilo but as full of something so resonant of the life force of a person who has died is just... well it's shattering.

And it's not just that it was full of her own breath/life force that Jerry used to have basically bottled for preservation and yet is now gone- but, assuming that Deborah, Myra, Benjamin and Russ were all going through the stuff together, when Russ let the air out... he breathed it in. If they were all there with him at the time (unclear), then so did the rest of them. And there is just something really heartwrenching about that as well- several years after they lost Hilla, they had one more chance to not just come in contact with a part of her but to literally breathe her in, and they didn't even know it at the time.

It tears me up to think about, I don't know. Probably a bit too morbid but ah well.

intimacy is scrolling tumblr companionably in bed with your partner, and when he says “send me that post” you respond “i already did, i saw that post already before you woke up”
