I hope that every one of my friends to whom I message the phrase "can I be mean for a second?" knows how much I treasure them as a human being in my life.

I don’t go there but I do appreciate the pair that just walked by me in fully decked out Heated Rivalry themed RenFaire outfits.

I have romanced three of them and would never do two of those three again and probably wouldn’t do the third again either.

Today's Dragon Age Poll: Have you ever romanced any of the following characters in a Dragon Age game? Zevran, Fenris, Solas, or Davrin? A - All 4! B - Three for me. C - Two will do. D - One and done! E - None of the above

Made it all of fifteen minutes into my second photo op shift before my stupid costume decided to break. None of the things I tried as quick fixes work. So now I’m out of kit for the rest of the troop. I’m thrilled.

In other Fortune's Weave related news, I did a question box on Instagram the other week regarding what character(s) folks thought I should cosplay from the game and one person suggested Loretta? Who I love and adore but... sorry, I'm not gonna cosplay as a 13 year old when I'm almost 3 times her age

Every now and then, I scroll through and see random posts about various characters on socials and I guess I'm playing Fortune's Weave wrong because they'll talk down on certain units and I'm like...... actually Loretta and Alexandra have basically carried me the last two maps but okay.

I'm getting together my costumes for Air and Scare tomorrow and I'm realizing that I don't think I've worn my handmaiden/Padmé costume for three years? Doing the hair is going to be interesting and hopefully I still remember 😂

I'd really appreciate it if all the dragons in this game could start doing this wild thing called "wearing shoes". Sothis, you need to set a better example for your children and put the toes away!!

Like okay. Fine. Don't wear them in your own temple, I guess? (Although we won't touch the whole doing so while meeting with worshipers things.) But when you're out in the world? Touch grass and dirt? SHOES!!!!!!!

Fire Emblem, you're such a comedy sometimes. Enemy General, on the ground with their death quote: I suppose this is where death finally finds me. Cai, cheerily with his standard defeat quote: Guess you didn't train enough!

BIOWARE IS DEAD. NOW WHAT? A thread to panic read on what happens next to your beloved games and servers, and where to find Devs that made that thing you love.

Just….. all my love and hugs to everyone who was at BioWare. What they did to y’all was never right and we all know. Grateful we got the games that we did and I am grateful to have gotten to know the people I did because of those worlds 💜

brb gotta drop everything and write my modern AU FEFW fic about Leda and Olympia trying to decide what show to see on Broadway. Olympia wants to see SIX. Leda wants to see Sweeney Todd.

In my head, I am asking the substitute if she’s actually planning to teach Pilates in this morning’s Pilates class with the same energy of Ian Malcolm inquiring if there are any dinosaurs on this dinosaur tour.

Okay so I simply don’t have it in me to deal with installing grommets tonight but I have finished everything else for it so we’ll do that tomorrow and then see how it fits. Hopefully decently.

I'm still not over how one of the best meals I had in NYC the other week was *checks notes* the fried chicken caesar salad I got at the train station?

Most folks at my gym are pretty polite and considerate but this morning, one dude was taking up two different cable machines and another dude was taking up two benches and the floor space around them in the free weights section and my dudes, simply do not. It is 7am on a Monday. No.

Regrettably, I have to report that not only was I responsible but that the new-to-me-from-Instagram recipe actually was pretty good? Which is a surprise because I've been striking out with those for a while now.

DnD getting cancelled is always a bummer but doubly so when it means now you don’t have an excuse not to cook and have to be a responsible human being 🤣

I haven’t even gotten out of the car yet and I already spotted someone cosplay as DC Carl across the parking field at RenFaire which honestly is a bold choice given how relatively cold it is today.

There's a lot of advice I could/should give to people who are interested in getting into sewing/cosplay but truly the first one that might come out of my mouth is "hope you're not squeamish about blood cuz you're gonna accidentally stab yourself with pins and needles a lot."

I keep buying extra corset ties for my assorted RenFaire bodices and then putting them somewhere soooooo smart that I can't find them and it's starting to drive me a little nuts.

Certain parts of certain fandoms would feel a lot better if they could learn to differentiate between canon and fanon and how to let go if fanon or their headcanon gets overwritten by actual published canon.

Listen, I'm not gonna tell you to give up on all your hills to die on but at least have them be small, petty things. For example, you can pry the fact that Iden and Del's daughter's name is actually "Zay Meeko" and not "Zay Versio" out of my cold dead hands but I'm not harassing anyone about it.

I'm being so good and not saying my thoughts about That Character because I've enjoyed a blissful experience here not being yelled at by a specific subset of his fans who think I appreciate the character wrong and do not wish to change that now.

Not me going through pictures on my phone to show my hair stylist how the color fade went this time and having to settle on RenFaire videos 😂

Saying it here so she won't see and be embarrassed but thank you so much to everyone at NYCC who was welcoming to my cousin! It was her first big con experience like that and y'all were very kind and lovely.

I am trying so hard to lie to myself right now and pretend like I didn’t spend that money at NYCC because all I took out of my suitcase were a few books and stickers, some tea, and then a print and keychain. Nothing’s getting shipped here. Nope. Nothing at all. I was fiscally responsible all con.

In my feelings a bit about how the Palace Theatre has a display of iconic past shows that were here and amongst them is a playbill for at least one show my grandfather was a significant part of.

And today, we’re playing a game called “guess how many people call me Rumi just because she and Petra both have a purple braid” We’re at one so far.
