HALIE

Hey. Jeb asked me to move in with him.

JEB

Do you remember those fries that you made me a couple weeks ago that had some kind of really delicious sauce on it?

Happy birthday, Isaiah. If the burnt cupcakes didn't scare you off, I'm guessing we'll plan on doing this same time next year. 😏

TEXTS TO ISAIAH

-- Hey, how much do you love me?
-- I need someone to watch the shop for like an hour until my backup can get here.
-- I wouldn't ask, but it's important.
-- But if you're busy, I can text Phoebe or maybe Fiona?

HALIE

Hey, are you busy around 1? Or can I ask you a favor?

Two more days until I get the keys to my new house. 😬😬😬

BETH

Hey, so. Thanks for the invitation the other day. It was pretty cool. I kind of went home and bought a Korean cookbook so we'll see how that goes.

Also [...] could I actually ask you kind of a personal question?

FIONA

Have you settled in yet?

Happy Lunar New Year!

I only know a handful of things about my surrogate mother, but one of the things I do know is that she was Korean American, her family having originally come from Busan. I became interested in learning more about that side of my heritage once I was old enough to really understand that it different from the rest of my family and my dads were really supportive and helpful in letting me explore it. There is still a lot that I haven't experienced and someday I am going to just jump in and plan that trip to visit South Korea, but until then I do what I can to embrace my heritage here, in whatever way I can.

And so, today that looks like making tteokguk and jeon! I've only made both a few times before, both to varying degrees of success, so any wishes of luck are appreciated. The recipes also make a lot, so if you're looking to try something new, my kitchen is open.

All that said, I wish everyone a wonderful and satisfying new year. I hope it's full of new beginnings and overflowing happiness.

I made cupcakes today. I think they turned out pretty good, actually.

I know I haven't really been myself for the last little while. And I'm trying to work on that. And I appreciate your patience with me, and the reaching out when I've maybe not been very receptive to it.

But I need to say something and it's not really easy for me to say but please listen, okay?

I know I'm the youngest one of us. And it's probably pretty natural for you all to think of me like I'm still just a kid who needs protecting all the time. I know I'm not the sort of person to lash out or to throw the first punch. Or any punches.

But that's how I want to be.

And being that way doesn't mean I need someone else to stand on guard in front of me forever.

Yeah, maybe it leaves me a little more fragile or a little more susceptible to being hurt. But that's my choice. And I'll deal with those consequences.

And if you think you know better than me what I want or need, and act on that without talking to me about it- especially if those actions wind up hurting someone else- that [...] doesn't make you a very good friend. It makes me feel like I can't trust you, and that's now how I want to feel about any of you.

That's all, I guess. Just... think about it, okay?

Don't forget, we're making crowns of holly tonight at Eye of the Goddess. It's not too late to sign up.

ISAIAH, MO, EVE, CHESA, PHOEBE

I did a thing today. I got pre-qualified for a mortgage.

PHOEBE

And I remember the wyverns.

The Malones are staying on brand this Christmas.

Just a reminder to anyone who's interested that I'm hosting a ritual robe workshop tonight at Eye of the Goddess. We still have a handful of spots open.

ISAIAH

Hi.

Well hey, Dunhaven. For anyone that doesn't know me, I stream video games for part of my living, usually in the evenings. I've taken a short break of it, but I've been sort of prepping myself for the next several weeks and there are a lot of games that I want to play that have multiplayer functionality and I guess what I'm getting at is -- does anyone want to play video games with me?

As a disclaimer, and I swear this isn't me trying to sound full of myself or anything, but I'm a pretty popular Twitch streamer, so it's not like you'd be playing with me and only a couple of people would be watching. It's, like, you know, thousands. But it's also an audience so if you own a shop or sell some sort of product or something, it's potential free advertising! I like to talk people up.

So if you're interested in that kind of thing? Let me know!

Based on the conversation we had on here recently, I compiled a list of everyone who is Dreaming--both public and anonymously. Out of respect for your interests, I only included those who specifically commented to be included on the list. In addition to compiling the list, I have also put together a semi-brief document for those who have questions about these Dreams since we continue to have a lot of newcomers who are otherwise unprepared for when these Dreams hit...or are just super confused by at the talk of Dreams on this network.

The resource (which includes the list of Dreamers) can be found here.

I wanted to go ahead an open this post up, as well, for anyone who wants to add their User ID (public or anonymous) to this list, or potentially update their information on the list. I only included Sources that have been discussed publicly on this network, regardless of whether or not I was familiar with a Source existing here. So for anyone listed as Not Disclosed, it is entirely up to you as to whether or not you want that "spoiled" for you.

Which also raises another question which I would like to answer on the list. If you are on this list, do you want a) others to reach out to you and/or b) others to give you information about your Source if they know it? Please answer below, if you can or want to!

Looking for something that sparkles to give someone for Christmas? I know a really good Etsy shop with all kinds of sparkly stuff.

(I'm really good at advertising, I know.)

I forgot to tell you that I told my sister about my Nova's powers that I inherited. She thought that I was living with you, because my bed never looks slept in and she'd noticed so I told her. It felt like a really good step and I just wanted to share it.

Halloween is usually our craziest night of the year, and this one was no different. But next year is supposed to be a Saturday, full moon and the clocks go back?

Is it too early to plan a vacation for that week? Because I'm filled with dread. If the high school plans their homecoming for that day, let me know and I can full on train to be Buffy.
