Fey creature of many names. A machine that makes stories. Relentlessly Songxuexiao. The god of poets has two hands: the dextrous, the sinister.

I just think more triad fic should have this vibe.
After the Threesome, They Both Take You Home By Sue Hyon Bae even though it’s so very late and they have to report to their jobs in a few hours, they both get in the car, one driving, one shotgun, you in the back like a child needing a drive to settle into sleep, even though one could drive and the other sleep, because they can’t sleep without each other, they’d rather drive you across the city rather than be apart for half an hour, the office buildings lit pointlessly beautiful for nobody except you to admire their reflections in the water, the lovers too busy talking about that colleague they don’t like, tomorrow’s dinner plans, how once they bought peaches on a road trip and ate and ate until they could taste it in each other’s pores, they get out of the car together to kiss you goodnight, you who have perfected the ghost goodbye, exiting gatherings noiselessly, leaving only a dahlia-scented perfume, your ribcage compressing to slide through doors ajar and untouched, yesterday you were a flash of white in a pigeon’s blinking eye, in the day few hours old you stand solid and full of other people’s love for each other spilling over, warm leftovers.

The opening shot of the present-day part of Crimson Peak is hilarious to me. That is NOT Buffalo NY.
Sepia-toned shot of an old-timey market in the early 1900s behind a big limestone building with a cupola. It’s the opening shot of the main timeline of Crimson Peak, which purports to be in Buffalo, NY. Modern day photo of the same location under sun-and-cloud skies. There’s a high rise and modern paving stones that were not visible in the “Buffalo” shot, plastic bunting, and vinyl market tents. One of the tents says “Vader’s Maple Syrup.”

Without downloading any new pics, what's it like to date you?
Calvin and Hobbes comic panel. Hobbes, kneeling in the grass with Calvin, says, "How come?" Calvin replies, "I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul." Screenshot of two texts, which read, "Oh good I get to explain this to you. You will regret this." Below them is a typing bubble in progress.

Posts for my newer followers: did you know I have my whole entire back tattooed.
Photo of my back, shirtless, showing a tattoo of a huge pair of monochrome gargoyle wings that curve up over my shoulders at the top and go almost down to my ass at the bottom. Second photo of me shirtless, taken over my shoulder from the side to show where the wings come up over my shoulders and curl up the sides of my neck.

It’s just the remaining 3% that gets me. Today is apparently a 3% day.

Also: fork theory. I myself don’t need to budget energy in a spoon theory way most of the time, but I LOVE this one.
Tumblr post from user jenroses: Have I told y’all about my husband’s Fork Theory?  If I did already, pretend I didn’t, I’m an old. So the Spoon Theory is a fundamental metaphor used often in the chronic pain/chronic illness communities to explain to non-spoonies why life is harder for them. It’s super useful and we use that all the time. But it has a corollary.  You know the phrase, “Stick a fork in me, I’m done,” right? Well, Fork Theory is that one has a Fork Limit, that is, you can probably cope okay with one fork stuck in you, maybe two or three, but at some point you will lose your shit if one more fork happens.  A fork could range from being hungry or having to pee to getting a new bill or a new diagnosis of illness. There are lots of different sizes of forks, and volume vs. quantity means that the fork limit is not absolute. I might be able to deal with 20 tiny little escargot fork annoyances, such as a hangnail or slightly suboptimal pants, but not even one “you poked my trigger on purpose because you think it’s fun to see me melt down” pitchfork. This is super relevant for neurodivergent folk. Like, you might be able to deal with your feet being cold or a tag, but not both. Hubby describes the situation as “It may seem weird that I just get up and leave the conversation to go to the bathroom, but you just dumped a new financial burden on me and I already had to pee, and going to the bathroom is the fork I can get rid of the fastest.”

Shrimp caesar wraps for dinner. 🍽️
A row of three wraps in whole wheat tortillas, sitting innocuously on a plate. A wrap which has been bitten into to reveal its insides: shrimp, bacon, croutons, greens, and a creamy homemade caesar dressing.

a.k.a. baked a whole fish today lads. 🍽️
A whole trout on a baking sheet, its body covered in a yellowish crust full of green herbs and purple shallots. Its tail and face are poking out of the crust. Its face looks somewhat distraught.

Baked trout, buttered carrots with raisins, and some of the whole wheat challah for dinner tonight. 🍽️
A plate of carrots and raisins in a glistening brownish sauce, torn chunks of whole wheat challah, and slices of fish baked under a yellowish crust full of green herbs and purple shallots. Close up of the carrots and raisins for the delicious glistening sauce, with a nice view of the crusted fish in the background.

Bonne chance avec les spirales.
Meme captioning a photo of a bird and a diagram of the physics of birds’ flight. It reads “HOW has he done it? without falling? has he cheated god at last? no. he has simply befriended the spirals.”

Walked into the bathroom to unexpectedly find this absolute pancake.
Extremely flat puddled out black cat lying across the vent in my bathroom floor, between a toilet and a trash can.

Good show. :)
Photo of Ron Hawkins with an acoustic guitar and a microphone playing on a small stage. There’s a big golden light over him that looks sort of like a firework and a cardinal logo on the stage behind him. He’s wearing a knit skull and crossbones sweater.

Anniversary dinner. 🥰
Two cocktails: a dirty shirley temple in a can-shaped glass and a daiquiri on the rocks in a martini glass. Cheese plate of three different cheeses, grapes, pear slices, and sliced baguette arranged around a ramekin of honey. Olive oil-dressed burrata, tomato with basil ribbons, and sliced baguette on the nearer plate; a long plate of fried zucchini with goat cheese, pickled red onions, and a sweet chili sauce. Two pizzas: one with two kinds of meat, two kinds of cheese, basil leaves, hot honey, and chili oil, and one with pesto, goat cheese, mozzarella, and caramelized pear.

Well I WAS getting some writing done.
My lap, with a small black cat across it, insistently demanding ear scritches. A small black cat, now curled up on my lap, shoving her whole-ass head into my hand.

Samhain dinner. ✨🍽️
A plate of brined roast chicken, baked trout with a horseradish parsley sauce, roasted delicata squash rounds with sage salsa verde, and seared and roasted carrots with ricotta and carrot top chimichurri. A bowl of sunchoke and cauliflower soup with a parsley and sunflower seed gremolada topping. A water glass and a punch cup with pink punch are visible around the edge of the bowl. Loaf of bread shaped like a toad, nestled into a cute little basket with a towel. A small red dish sits nearby with a wooden spreading knife (there’s parmesan rosemary butter inside it but I forgot to take off the lid).

Dinner party SUCCESS and also my house has been entirely tidied up (though not yet fully re-arranged) but also the dirty dishes section of our counter has literally never been more full.
Several feet of counter between my sink and my stove. The entire space is piled with cutting boards, serving platters, pots, pans, mixing bowls, punch cups, glasses, cutlery, serving utensils, dip bowls, and a truly spectacular tower of plates and bowls.

And here’s another forgotten food photoset. An autumn barley salad with feta, feat. delicata squash, carrots, quick-pickled red onions, roasted pepitas, and baby lettuce.
A colourful plate of barley salad, sitting on green baby lettuces and combined with yellow, orange, and purple carrots, yellow squash, pink onions, dark roasted pepitas, and white feta, with herbs and a dressing visibly mixed in. Close up of the barley mixture, for colour and texture.

I keep forgetting to post food pics. This is from several days ago—salmon, roasted broccoli, a wild grain mix, and glazed carrots, all with a seasoned soy sauce and pickled garlic drizzle. Alex made this one too. 🍽️
Plate of roast broccoli, salmon with some chili crisp on top, and carrots resting on a bed of grains. All of them are drizzled with a brown sauce and chopped garlic and sprinkled sesame seeds. Close up on all four components of the plate, for colour and texture.
