This internet thing fuckin provides.

There's this Christmas video going around, like some kind of anniversary viral bit. It's got Catra and this kinda hot lobster(??) chick knocking over a huge lit up and decorated tree and causing all sorts of chaos. "Remember this???" it says, man I'd punch a nun to have the chance to see that shit live.

Think I've watched it like twenty damn times already and it just. gets. funnier.

Went on a Christmas sweater buying spree. Bought way too many, but in my very, very, very slim defense, they're all cute??? Tree Rex, you're killing. Snowman giving peace fingers, and because because Yrsa absolutely is. There's like twelve more, I refuse to be judged.

Oh and we made one too.

Not that I'm impatient or anything, but when do we get to eat the murder birds?

You know, one of the great things about being married is learning new things about your partner, even after we've been together for years.

Like today I found out that Teddy uses a giant magical sword (a sword that that a prophecy proclaimed that whoever could pull this sword from a stone [I know, I know] would become the ruler of space) as a table that he puts his cereal bowl on.

It's things like this that keep the spark alive.

Lindon, a farmer nearby that I have helped with fencing, barn-raising, and general assistance on his property has passed away this evening. He was local to this world and has been a kind soul, helping Mimir and I both understand things about this world. He will be missed.

But it has reminded me of something I had forgotten. People can die here, in this place. Too often, people I have encountered just disappear for various reasons. I do not wish to take that for granted. If you are friendly with anyone from Vallo, please tell them what they mean to you before they are lost.

Does anyone have any tips or advice for acclimating an older sibling to a new one that isn't born yet?

Hatched, I guess. It has to be similar right? Because Tairn and Sgaeyl have an egg that's going to hatch any day now and Andarna has gotten really, really testy. I've tried to make sure I give her extra attention but I think she's jealous of how much attention the egg is getting from Tairn and Sgaeyl and is too stubborn to admit it.

If you don't have any advice but just want to squeal about a baby dragon with me that's okay too.

Should you be in the mood for a sweet treat today, an item per person is on my tab at the Slayer's Cake until close. I considered working with the soups restaurant instead, but I miss Jester I have accepted that sweets walk hand in hand with birthdays and who am I to say otherwise.

This is also year three I have done this, so. Tradition, I suppose.

Though you should go and get soup, also. Support local businesses that I frequent, so they might remain open until I am at least 524.



Oh and on the topic of local businesses: buy books from my husband, please. Thank you.

TEXT MESSAGE TO HARLEY QUINN:

» Hey, so I have an idea.

Hey folks, so it's been a week of us quietly enjoying this life update, but just wanted to say that I'm probably the luckiest guy around because Dorian agreed to marry me.

That said, no details have been set yet but we would like to celebrate with our people here in Vallo and were hoping that you might all join us for dinner and drinks—and a little theater, because it only feels right to do this at a classy establishment like Taste of Tal'Dorei. Don't worry, Exandrians. Already cleared it to make sure the show that night doesn't feature any present company or friends back home. Safe for one night.

So if you're free next Saturday at 7 and would like some food and alcohol (or not alcohol) on us, we really hope to see your faces.

My birthday and my wedding anniversary are coming within the next two weeks and I have three requests in regards to these events:

1. I would like to not be turned into a younger version of myself, an older version of myself, or a version of myself that was an Echo Knight and Taskhand.

2. I would like for Aeor to not do something silly and bring with it snow, wild magic, and Aeorian hunters.

3. I know that it is early for the holidays and the culprit is rather contained, but I would also like to suggest that I would like to not be pulled into a Christmas town.

These things can happen at another time, but not within the next two weeks, thank you very much. I would like to enjoy getting older in peace and also be myself to give my husband his anniversary gift on the correct day. That is all, thank you.



Oh, another:

4. I would like for those of you with an interest to listen to my most recent podcast. It is, as the children might say, a banger.
