i'm just trying to keep it together, but it gets a little harder when it never gets better

And covered in cake. 😭

Its guaranteed that when I'm sleeping well, my cats will wake me up. And when they leave me alone, I can't sleep. 🫠

We went to see the final Downton Abbey movie yesterday and there is a scene where they all toast to Mary and her son. I giggled internally when they said, "To Mary and George."

I have a strong urge to write something that hurts, but I have no words inside me at the moment, so instead I'm going to read something that hurts.

this would be me if I had kids

#iykyk 😏

I got all the planning-ahead genes in my family, which isn't saying much, and should tell you how well the rest of my family plans. 🫠

A goddamn summer dream. 🙌

I have another 30k one shot to post, but I'm not ready. So, in the meantime, icymi, here is my pride and joy. 🥹 It would make a good weekend read now that ao3 is back. 💕 #rwrbfic

Z is for Zahra!! She was great in the book, but Sarah Shahi brought her to life in a way I never expected, and I love the character all the more for it! This scene will live forever in my brain. #ABCsofRWRB #endingonahilariousnote #rwrbfandom

One of these is not like the other... 🤨

I'm knitting and watching Halloweentown while I scarf chocolate-covered espresso beans and avoid reality entirely.

How presumptuous. I haven't opened any emails in the last month that weren't from ao3.

Impromptu #giveaway in prep for bigger ones I have this gorgeous art print that goes with Venessa Kelley's WHEN THE TIDES HELD THE MOON. Venessa also did the art for the RWRB collectors edition endpapers & many other books' art. If you've read the book, comment with your fav quote or scene

Made my first pot of the season last night. 😌

20 rows in, 173 stitches per row... and I'm taking it apart to start over. 😭 Send good vibes for my second attempt.

Y is for yrs. 💕 #ABCsofRWRB #fuckingyrs

The gasp I had let out during this scene. @14carrotgold.bsky.social what an incredible fic you had written! God! To me, this entire fic is 100% canon. Translations in the second pictures. Fic: Déjame Ver Cómo Es Que Floreces Link: archiveofourown.org/works/361674... #rwrbfic

well yes!

Imagine being that carefree and playful... what a lucky, beautiful man.

I haven't knitted anything in a few years, but today, I dug my needles and yarn back out and started a new project. So far tonight, I've knitted three rows and been reminded that knitting is about 60% just untangling yarn. 🫠

The narrator of this book is talking about this handsome man she saw. I had no face in mind until this moment, and then my brain immediately conjured TZP. 🫠

Henry showing Alex his favorite parts of Europe. Alex showing Henry Austin. 💕

When I think of our future it’s not the big, flashy moments I imagine. It’s grocery shopping with you pushing the cart behind me. It’s lying on the couch with your head on my lap or washing dishes and passing them to you to dry. It’s the boring, beautiful slices of life.

X is for Alex's xoxo's, first sarcastic (and accidentally flirty), then purposely flirty, and then, finally, sincere. #ABCsofRWRB #xoxokissesandhugs

20 hours?!? Plan ahead, people.

Happy Bi Visibility Day! 💖💜💙 [ #cuteart #artshop ]

W is for the Waterloo Vase & the Waterloo Letters. 📧 But even more than that, it's for water. The water of lake LBJ. The rain when Alex stormed Kensington. The ocean blue of Henry's eyes. 🌊 #ABCsofRWRB #henryiswater #honorablemention:wedding

Absolutely binged this today and loved it!! So incredibly joyful and sweet. 💕 #queerbooks

BUNNY TEETH AND THIGHS. Please never change, Taylor.

V is for voice. Mostly, Henry finding his. 💕 #ABCsofRWRB

Good god.

Guys he's on a mountain again.

This reminds me of that time a cake for my cousin read, *Congradulations* and when I pointed out the spelling error to the woman who made the cake, she was mortified. We put quotes around the middle *Con"grad"ulations* since it was a graduation party and nobody ever knew. 😂 📸 from IG @iamthirtyaf

Happy day to all of us. ✌️

I just passed the halfway mark and I'm loving this book. 😭

Gifts season! 🎁 #rwrb #firstprince

YES 🙌 (I've had a fic in my head for ages where Alex discovers a litter of kittens under a bush at the brownstone and takes them in, and the boys have to learn how to bottle-feed and everything. 🥹)
