Um? I dared to sleep…

Listening at work with headphones on, pretending I’m in a zoom meeting.

We’re only getting older, baby…

Hallee is one of the three people who were there that night and said all the right things to help coax pen to paper (or fingers to notes app as the case might be). Never ever would have happened otherwise.

Also on September 28, but only two years ago, this happened in a beta group chat I was in. Please forgive my typos. Anyway, two years later, I haven’t written anything in over six weeks, which makes me sad, but maybe the magic might work again today?

Happy September 28th.

There’s always room for pie.

Wednesdays With Keri, but really Tuesday’s voice notes sign offs: “I don’t think I know how to manage this particular situation? [pause] I need more protein in my life.” “This is a voice note about nothing except for me being long-winded.” Can you guess who is who?

They’re married

Gemma praising H for running that marathon in less than three hours AFTER she posted about eating chocolate while the baby napped and putting laundry away whilst watching sister act 2 and reality tv is Gemma at her very best and a perfectly sassier version of “what a thing you’ve done…”

I’m not gonna say one little thing about the fact that one is muscle and the other is bones. I am NOT.

Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes

that single curl 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This is what Small Victories and Large Defeats Harry would make when he (inevitably) developed a manic crush on Stardust in Our Souls Harry. And then sit back not-very-patiently and wait for SIOS H to make a move.

CAPTAIN NIALL JAMES HORAN… The jokes, the pranks…

But wait when are all his flower things coming into the mix? 🧐

“Lemonade, lemonade…The definition of devotion, baby…”

I was talking to someone tonight who is an actual screenwriter, whose sister is a short fiction writer & whose dad is a novelist, & we were talking about college, & how I wrote then, & he asked me why I don’t write anymore & thus begat a whole string of lies and half truths…

This is, in fact, my whole entire life.

I deeply fear “everyone” is me…😭💀 @larrysmomfics.bsky.social

“To the place that was ours,” he says, his voice soft. “Was it really, though?” Zayn asks, clinking his glass with everyone else’s. “It’s closing night, mate, & Leah reserved this booth for just us…” Louis points out. “Fair,” Zayn shrugs, rubbing under his eye, hoping that no one saw that either.

Well, I guess when Small Victories & Large Defeats Harry didn’t get to work on the Trader Joe’s Rose Parade float, they let him direct the It’s Fall About TJs video as a consolation prize… youtu.be/xzWptj9e6mA

Should we just search romantic comedies on Netflix and then see what we find?

I kinda thought that one of the best things to happen to me ever was hearing that someone named their god-daughter Marigold, but I just found out that someone named their chihuahua puppy Petunia, and why is that literally EVERYTHING?

Halfway to sobbing voice note to the group chat and really all I needed to say was, “I was listening to Lewis Capaldi on the way to work and that was probably a mistake…”

In a work webinar and someone just said, “I wish no one would communicate angry or sad feelings in emails, it makes me nervous…” and I think we should all adopt this concept for anything on the internet.

Happy chewsday everyone!!! <3

I finally caved. @28-satellites.bsky.social will get this joke soon…

Harry’s in my hood!

So I was talking with a friend & told her about a thing in my life and she suddenly gasped and was like, “OHMYGOD you have to see this movie. Wait. I forget what it’s called. Wait hold on. Do you know the movie I’m talking about? Anne Hathaway was in it and she—“ Me: “Yeah. I know the one.”

Oh come ON, internet. 💀

🤐

My life, too…

me on ao3 like:

Quick please help. Who among you are familiar with putting balsamic vinegar on ice cream with fruit? And of those, who among you have tried it? And, of those; who among you rightfully think it’s delicious? And while we’re here, if you answered yes to any of that, where do you live? Thx ily bye

All Louis can do is nod through his residual laughter. “Proper garden we’ve got,” he adds, when he can speak calmly again.  Harry takes a deep breath and looks around the treehouse before speaking again. “I want another flower, Lou.” archiveofourown.org/works/60444169

It’s Saturdays with Keri, but I’m in the midst of an existential crisis and she’s dropping her myers briggs scores like they’re little breadcrumbs leading me back to the land of the sane….

I know I’ve vanished a bit — blame it on a new job and a kiddo home from vacation and another new thing or two… but all to say, life’s a little bananas. I’ll be back when I get my sea legs.

@lgtstweet.bsky.social Sliding in with the swiftie content. This time with cats!

@marinou.directioners.social so many birthday hugs to you!

There’s a THING in my life that reminded me of a fic, so I reread the fic, thinking it will help me with the thing, but now I’m about halfway through the fic & wondering if the thing will end before the fic, or the fic will end before the thing, bc if it’s the latter, HOW WILL I KNOW WHAT TO DO?

LERI FOREVER. 🩷🧡 (omg do we even have colors?)

I am getting so many of these messages and it literally makes my day. I wish I could buy stock.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the fic that kinda changed my life, because sweet Keri shared her thoughts and vulnerabilities in ways that were so deeply relatable, and is also the kindest person ever, and put up with me fangirling to an annoying degree in her dms.

So this week, not half over, has been a very long month, & I’m in the throes of the “first day” chaos, where there isn’t any time at all to organize my thoughts or even to, like, clean my desk. And on top of everything, I realized that I flirt like a fictional character I wrote. The weird one.

“Don’t worry about it. Everything’s gonna be fine.”

First day jitters, after a really wild yesterday. Nothing ever happens the way I think it will, which is likely far more often a good thing than a bad one.

PLEASE LOOK AFTER THIS BEAR.
