meant to repost this for the anniversary of the final chapter and then got sidetracked by parenthood 😅 one year on from finishing this fic, i'm still so happy and proud of it 💜

i hope they put him in cuffs and somebody snuck a pic lol

Baby girl became a real, registered human today 💜

feel like i didn't fully understand the feeling of time flying before because what do you mean my baby is already a week old 🥺💜

Worth it 💜

see you on the other side* 😚 *when i have a little baby and residual pain and am exhausted

i just think rhys darby would make a great vaultie in fallout

i have the urge to book myself a lil pamper session before baby comes but feel like it'd be just my luck i'd go into labour the night before and be out of pocket 💀

this week on tikek's pregnancy symptoms... diagnosed with gestational hypertension yesterday 🫠🤪

mother cut her finger today, it was fine, very small, but she made it into a big drama, kept insisting her thumb was hanging off (it was not) and made me get my sister round to look at it because she refused to let me look anyway, totally unrelated, ofmd au where stede is totally calm about

the way they made the creatures in fallout so accurate to the video games BLOWS MY MIND and also really makes me wanna play some more fallout

new met office app is such trash and i genuinely don't know how such shitty uis get approved

god fucking damn it pisses me off when HBO Max renews shit for another season before the previous one has even aired 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 TELL ME HOW YOU MAGICALLY KNOW THE NUMBERS ARE THERE, TWATS

On this anniversary, I ask that if you’re invested in the longevity of the creative side of the fandom, seek out creations by newer/unfamiliar creators. Don’t stick to only ppl you know or stuff you saw promo’d. Promo shouldn’t be required. You can stab me in the face now :p #LongLiveOFMD

2 years and 1 day since i started my job as a call handler for ambulance service, which means 2 years since we all know what. it encouraged me to get more involved in the fandom, which definitely helped me do my tough job, but i wish it hadn't come at such high a cost 🥺 gimme my show back 💜💔

my mother finally broke up with her toxic and manipulative and imo emotionally abusive partner of 16 years and it sucks to see her hurting but i feel so relieved and happy and i keep thinking of things he does that we'll never have to deal with again today is an amazing day 💜

i feel like such a stick in the mud but the idea of using laughing gas for trivial, unnecessary procedures for entertainment purposes makes me so uncomfortable 😬

so help me god, i can't help but crumble at the way charles looks at erik and knew just from this thumbnail that was who he was looking at 😭

yeah i'm gonna ramble about twilight breaking dawn a lil because it's really been bugging me the last few weeks there is absolutely no reason carlisle couldn't have delivered renaissance well before bella appeared to be "term". the spawn would only need to be in an incubator a few days max.

actually i gotta correct this because Netflix's 'Dark' also stretched my brain in the same way and I've been thinking about it A LOT in the wake of Stranger Things finishing

can't sleep because i'm suddenly very anxious about my consultant appointment tomorrow and my brain is trying to distract me by worrying about other things but it's just kind of making for an even bigger more scrambled plate of anxieties 🥲

ashamed of how invested i got in corriedale while watching with my mam lol TBF audio description wasn't working for the first 20 minutes so I had to describe for her

my balance is shit at the best of times but 34 weeks pregnant and in icy weather? 🫠🫣 also i swear there's way less yellow grit bins around than there used to be

it remains 'lazarus drug' even if the topic and themes seem to deter most readers. the length is also an amazing achievement, my first ever completed long fic 💜 i reread it, and especially my favourite chapters, quite often. archiveofourown.org/works/545576...

genuinely sick of the uk government pandering to trump's bullshit. grow a fucking spine.

yes i knew rhys' schedule didn't really work for taskmaster series 21 so i'll continue to hold out hope for future series but HOLY SHIT (spoilers) THEY GOT KUMAIL

throwing my odd socks straight back into my washing basket in the hopes they'll eventually reunite with their partner

On this day of Big Political News I am once more BEGGING people not to post or reblog stuff without alt text. Muted terms pick up stuff in alt text! Reposting things, especially images of articles or headlines, without alt text reduces accessibility AND bypasses all content moderation.

yeah that tracks 🥲 you know in primary school when you'd get the parachute out and you'd play the game where the 'mice' were crawling around under it? my abdomen basically looks like that 24/7

watching the stranger things finale and suddenly understand why the rest of the cgi this season has been so crap lol

1 out of 3, i'm happy 💜 for next year i'll just change 1 to 'succeeding at keeping my sprog happy and healthy' and keep the others the same 😌 happy new year all 🥳

Genuinely think leaving an empty After Eight wrapper in the box and letting other people think there's more left than there are should be illegal

Lovely Flint was my dad's Guide Dog. Since his death, he's been living happily retired with my sister. Yesterday, we found out that, ironically, he's going blind. Still the goodest boy.

Let's do more alt text in 2026 💜

new year's eve countdown: ❌ hysterically crying about not having a streamer to watch ofmd on in the uk countdown: ✅

wanted to watch the new titanic docuseries on bbc but alas, it seems if uses ai, slates andrews, and perpetuates unsubstantiated narratives, so i'll pass 🥲

finished severance with 30 minutes of my apple tv free trial to spare and i gotta say between severance and pluribus, apple has probably stretched the philosophy and ethics student within me more than anything else in like the last 8 years

'sunk cost fallacy' comes to mind as i watch the most recent episodes of stranger things

despite my estimated 92nd percentile baby doing its best to keep my stomach squashed i managed to eat my entire christmas dinner and it was sooooo good 😋

EXPLAIN YOUR USERNAME the pipeline is weird was ofbrothersandteacakes because i wrote almost exclusively about brothers and just picked teacakes randomly. fell into a spider-man phase, became friendlyneighbourhoodteacake. one of my internet friends started affectionately calling me tikek.

did a part of me hope this would've magically turned back to "available for over a year"? perhaps 😭😭 all i want for christmas is more ofmd 💔

If you see this, quote with a game released the year you were born.

I've talked to multiple authors, both on and off the podcast, who have said stuff akin to "I didn't want to add in an explicit scene but I felt pressure to do so" sometimes that pressure was readers, sometimes knowing kudos would be lower if they didn't include an E rated scene. 1/

What's behind door 18 of the Advint Calindah?? It's a Christmas fuckery! I showed @clairegregoryau.bsky.social a very rough sketch and an idea and she just went BET and wrote 10k words about it 🥹💖 And what would a collab between us two be, without dinos being involved? 🦖🏴‍☠️ 🔗 ourflagmeans.gay/2025/

We're so back.

The #1 movie from when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go

this is not my week went to my routine midwife appointment. sent up to hospital because my blood pressure is high 🫠

got so distracted by my other drama today that i totally forgot why i was so itchy while winding down for bed, just for a moment

work's totally messed up my payslip for this month and left me so short i can't even cover all my expenses and i don't think they'll be able to fix it in time and i don't know what to do except fucking cry
