Resurrection is like a box of chocolates.  You never know what you're gonna get.

Lapin Cadbury comes back from the dead.  Everyone has thoughts on that.

It’s up!  The ‘Lapin and Cumulous chill roommates fic’ is finally done and posted, right in time for @acocweek!  Writing this fic has been a wild ride, from crack idea to deep reflection on the nature of death and memory to a little (just a little) assault and battery.

It’s fine, no Swiftys were (permanently) harmed in the writing of this fic.

Feat. Lapin and Cumulous being chill roommates, absolutely no one else having a chill time, angst, food puns, more existential angst, a dash of Theopin, the complicated dynamics of grief and trauma and memory, generally poor coping mechanisms all around, and of course, the Lapin swoop.

Enjoy!

Shout out to the little kid at the library who gave me the best moment of gender euphoria when they ran up to the desk and went, "Excuse me, Mr. Teacher-Man!"

I love characters who are like "I'm a terrible person" but when you look closer it's more like

"I adapted to survive something and now I don't know how to stop being that version of myself."

Friendly reminder from your local public librarian that library services such as expanded opening hours, bigger collections, and a greater range of programs are only possible because of library staff labour. Whenever a library is open later or running a new program, that's because multiple staff members are putting in the time and work needed to make it happen. When we call to support and fund libraries (which is good, we should be doing that!), the first step to getting anything done is making sure that 1) there are enough staff who 2) are being paid a fair wage, 3) are safe in the workplace, and 4) have their workers' rights protected. Libraries work because library staff work - if you want more from your library, it starts with that.

thinking about “you haven’t met all the people who will love you” and like!!! you also haven’t found all the things that will make you happy!!!! there will always be new authors and musicians and artists whose work you will one day discover and love!!!! there will always be new hobbies and skills for you to learn and feel fulfilled by!!! there will always be new things around the corner that will bring sudden and unexpected happiness!!!!!!!!!!!

not many people know this but when talking about your multiple pronoun-using friend you build up a combo meter for every subsequent unique pronoun you use
