🖱 — any cool devices/tool(s) of the trade? (i.e. type of mouse, monitor, keyboard, tablet, etc) 🍦 — favorite ice cream flavor(s)? 🍰 — favorite sweet(s)/dessert(s)? 😗 — what are some of your favorite things to do when you have some time to yourself? 🎶 — favorite song at the moment?

((1. I forget the it's name.. But I have a screen wacom tablet I got one time when I won at the casino. It costed be about 500$. Thought the stands broke easily, I still love it and it's helped my art.

2. I really like fudge, marshmallow, and peanut butter. I also like vanilla for sundaes. Oh this one you get at Cold Stone, it's called 'Boo Batter' and it's my absolute favorite.. sadly, it only comes out Halloween...

3. I like red velvet cake and brownies with milk.. Idk if this is considered a dessert? But my family has a recipe that's been passed down for zucchini bread. It's rare when I get it cuz we just don't make it.. But God it's heaven. I can eat a whole loaf of that shit in a day.

4. I like to RP ofc, but that's if my brain is cooperating. Sometimes my brain just CANNOT focus, and it happens a LOT. I also like to draw when I feel inspired or motivated, and I also play video games when I have time to myself. I also try to chat with peeps, but it's hard for me cuz I'm just not a social creature.. The only two people I can ALWAYS talk to 24/7 is Kitten and Bweeb.

5. I have three at the moment. Bernadette by IAMX, Kiss me you Animal by Burn the Balloon, and Burnt Babies Fear the Fire by Blaqk Audio.. If they play on spotify you'll catch me putting it on repeat and listening to those songs for like an hour or more.

weekly (monthly?) media roundup

ok so I do want to actually do these on some sort of schedule but unfortunately, as you already know, brains,

listening: Malice in Wonderland by Fangbanger, which I found from a tumblr post that described them as band for “if you have a complicated relationship with gender, had a falling out with god, hate the government, or just think that vampires are neat" and y’know? yeah. my notes on this song from several weeks ago are that I might not know any of these people’s genders but I do know they’ve listened to MCR

youtube

reading: the new Cassandra Clare book, Chain of Iron. it’s boring and homophobic. in the first book of this series, we find out that the heroine’s brother is gay and in a relationship with a man who has no intention of ever coming out publicly because 1) the book is set in 1903 in England, it was literally illegal and 2) he’s trying to have a career in politics. the heroine decides that this means he’s ashamed of her brother and doesn’t deserve him, and she is present and active in their breakup conversation.

above is the relationship chart I made from the first book, it really hasn’t changed much except now the main guy and the main girl are married, the lesbians got back together and then broke up again, the main girl’s gay brother hooked up with one of her husband’s friend, who’s a Good Gay and therefore worthy of love unlike the Bad Gay ex who is constantly mocked by just about every character for. checks notes. caring about appearances and manners given that his life and career are based on those things. the brother and his new love interest break up because the brother still thinks he’s a bad person for ever having dated his ex. also the main girl has now platonically run off to Paris with her husband’s platonic soulmate who is allegedly in love with her but it’s really unconvincing that he’s not actually in love with her husband (he’s not for very stupid lore reasons, the whole ‘parabatai are magically prevented from being romantically in love, except for these two straight people, when historically parabatai pairs were two men’ makes my fucking blood boil)

you might ask why I still read these books even though they make me angry and the answer is the 1) the aesthetic slaps 2) some of the characters are fun 3) the premise has enough potential that it could be good if it was good 4) sometimes I need to get cathartically angry abt bad fiction bc it just. does not matter

watching: so many things that I’m gonna just. run through them real quick

Word of Honor: gestures vaguely at how it’s slowly taking over my blog

Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty: love a found family, eh about the politics, can’t believe I predictably got a new fave character within the last two episodes of the show because one of the main characters is betrayed by his second-in-command and I think treason is the sexiest part of a relationship

SamBucky show: in the original draft of this post I said that it was so boring that week (episode 3) that I completely forgot about it until I saw the draft below this one talking about how bad and boring it is. at least more happened in later episodes and they’re finally giving me some tasty queerbaiting but the premise and the politics are. wow. it sure is military propaganda

My Hero Academia: new season is fun, love a tournament arc. don’t love that they tell us right away that the double agent character is a double agent, it was more fun in the manga when you’re not sure if he’s a traitor or not for a pretty long time

Welcome to Demon School, Iruma-kun: new season is cute, there sure is some gender happening. there’s a tsundere bisexual catgirl

Backflip!!: I usually avoid high school sports anime for backstory reasons but my roommate wanted to watch it with me and oh boy these gymnasts sure are gay for each other huh

Joran: The Princess of Snow and Blood: my roommate pitched this to me as ‘cyberpunk but in the 1930s’ and there sure is dark lighting, lots of glowy neon stuff, and government oppression, which are the most important elements of cyberpunk apparently. not sure how I feel about it yet, because there’s a cool shapeshifting lady assassin with a revenge quest but there’s also a trans character who was revealed to be trans in a way that I personally did not enjoy. yes you can have transphobic villains but like. hmm. maybe the audience shouldn’t find out that someone is trans because the villain cuts his shirt away specifically to ~put him in his place. or maybe I personally am just sensitive to that but either way no thank you

on the other hand, the main character is sick as shit

The World Ends with You: god I love an anime about the power of friendship. I’ve only had these kids for two episodes and I would lay down my life for them

Nirvana in Fire: we’re only three episodes in and I did spend the first half of the first ep being like. oh god which of these people are actually important who am I supposed to care about here. and then by the end of the first ep I knew which ones I cared about and am now very afraid for their safety. do love the political intrigue though

playing: got through the first mission of Brigmore Witches. I love a good undercover mission, I wish I hadn’t been too afraid of like. alarms going off if I freed the other prisoners because I think Comrade Daud should do a jailbreak, and Lizzy Stride can call me anytime

also recently have played various ttrpgs including Firebrands, more Things, Eldritch and Terrifying, Link, and of course more Beam Saber (oh shit I meant to do my recap post for last session OOPS)

making: Zan and I made some real good chicken parm the other night, vaguely based on this recipe. by which I mean, we looked at the recipe to see how many eggs to use and how long to cook it and pretty much nothing else. the egg marinade step seemed unnecessary and I made the sauce the way I always make tomato sauce, which some day I should write down because it does in fact fuck. the secret is a shit-ton of oregano and basil and no chunks of tomato because fuck that. bad texture

Zan made the zucchini which also slapped, using some of the leftover bread crumbs

writing: I’ve posted a couple of things but most recently I wrote some rarepair femslash. this is the first fic for this ship on ao3 and the second ship in the f/f tag for this fandom that’s actually about the women in the show (as opposed to showing up in the f/f tag because it’s marked as “multi” or like. genderbent versions of the main m/m ship) but like. look at them. they’re terrible evil assassin women and they’re in love. anyway I’ve gotten over being embarrassed about having written a sex scene and moved on to wanting people to read my fic. there’s sparring as foreplay it’s a good time

A Sunny Winter Weekend

Our weekend kicked off on an unbelievable note. Both boys — BOTH OF THEM — slept in past 7:30 a.m.

Ryan and I couldn’t believe it. We were on a ridiculously giddy high before 8 a.m. because we were able to ease into our Saturday morning for the first time in months. I sipped a cup of coffee and a matcha latte (hence the green swirl in the foam above) and made it through both of them before Ryder and Chase were up for the morning. No reheating necessary! Welcome to Mom Life where kids sleeping in until almost 8 a.m. feels like a gift from angels!

Once the boys were up, we all got dressed, made breakfast, piled into the car and headed off to Discovery Place Kids for the morning. (For the non-locals, Discovery Place Kids is different than Discovery Place Uptown which our family also loves and I frequently mention on the blog! DPK is more of a kid’s imagination paradise and very popular with younger children.)

Discovery Place Kids can be absolute mayhem, especially on cold mornings like Saturday, so arriving early is key. We met up with our friends Alexis and Dan and their two little ones and enjoyed catching up in the midst of playtime. It’s crazy for me to think we first purchased our Discovery Place membership when Chase was too little to crawl and now he’s running all over the place.

We spent just shy of two hours at DPK before making our way to Duck Donuts where we ordered an assortment of their fluffy cake doughnuts and dug in!

(Of course we just had to stop to take a pic of Chase in front of the fire truck when we spotted one parked near by.)

Duck Donuts are so great to eat in the shop because they make them fresh to order. There’s not much more delicious than a warm doughnut!

Clearly Chase couldn’t take his eyes off them when Ryan placed them in front of us!

After Duck Donuts, we headed home to hang out for a bit before lunch and nap time.

Sadie cracks me up in the above picture. She was clearly not as impressed by Ryder’s new hammering skills as the rest of our crew.

Once the boys were settled in for their naps, Ryan offered to stay at home for the “nap trap” so I could enjoy a one-on-one walk with Sadie in the gorgeous sunny weather.

It was chilly outside but the wind was virtually non-existent and it was just one of those beautiful winter afternoons. It felt fantastic to get out with my girl and listen to some podcasts.

We walked for about an hour before making it home to find Chase awake — apparently sleep was a no-go — and Ryan had him in the bath for some playtime with his bath toys until Ryder was up a little later. We figured the boys would enjoy spending the rest of the late afternoon outside, so we made our way to a local park (Ryder tried the baby swing for the first time!) and had fun together.

The rest of our evening was rather low key and we did the whole bed time routine before settling in for the night.

Sunday

Sunday has been pretty typical as far as Sundays go for our family. We went to church this morning, stocked up on food for the week, threw a load of laundry in the washing machine and now both boys are napping while Ryan is at the gym and I’m blogging!

Before church, I did a little meal planning and here’s a peek into our meals for the week ahead:

Monday: Vegan Sloppy Joes

Tuesday: Easy Baked Chicken with Sweet Potatoes and Roasted Zucchini

Wednesday: Mediterranean Meatballs with Pita Bread and Greek Yogurt Tzatziki Sauce

Thursday: Butternut Squash Grain Bowls

Friday: Leftovers

I’m planning to spend some time this afternoon prepping some of the veggies for our meals since the slicing and dicing always seems to be the most time consuming aspect of a recipe for me. Hopefully it will help make our dinners come together fast!

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend! Thanks for stopping by the blog today!
