Me on every official Taivan Instagram post: OTP OF ALL OTPS! MY HEART! MY SOUL! THE GAYEST OF GAY JOY, THE GAYEST OF GAY MADNESS! HAS THERE EVER BEEN SUCH A SHIP IN ALL OF TELEVISION??? 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🥰🥰🥰🎉🎉🎉

Yellowjackets-adjacent social media managers: …you good, dude?

#taivan#thanks for asking! absolutely not!#but also sometimes I see lesbian visibility posts where 86% of the comments are homophobic assholes#and it’s important to me to leave something joyful to balance that shit out#also like. too many people bypass taivan. ain’t ever gonna be me.#top 3 television ships of all time in my heart I ain’t shutting up about it

Oh, yeah, rad. This is a terrible week for my treadmill to just decide not to start.

#I really love everything about this stupid treadmill EXCEPT that the start button just periodically opts out of existence#I never know how I’ve fixed it so when it inevitably happens again it’s just#me shrugging helplessly at the damn thing#poking different buttons in different orders#hoping for the best#but as running is my major anxiety outlet. and as my anxiety is verging on semi-constant panic attacks lately#yeah uh not great. not a great time.

not fic related but you and your wife seem so happy! any advice for a couple of newly married queer ladies?

Hey, I love any excuse to talk about being gay and happy! Congrats on being newly married! I dunno, my advice is always really straightforward. Like. Keep prioritizing communication, keep talking to each other about your day, your headspace, the stuff you love, the stuff that freaks you out. Keep that line open no matter how long you're together, because I really do think marriages fall apart when you start just assuming you can read one another's minds. My wife and I are always really careful to be honest with one another; for example, in the event that one of us is having a bad day and the other person's jokes aren't landing, 'cuz we're just sensitive that day, we talk about it. it soothes hurt feelings before they can really take root.

And find ways of making your own fun. Try new foods together, travel if you're into that, remind yourself that intimacy (if that's your bag) is an excuse to just play with one another and learn about the other person. Cherish the comfort of knowing your person is there for you no matter what, make sure you're on equal footing together, make sure you're allowing each other the space to change and grow and learn. And just take as much joy as you can out of being in love. It's not an easy thing, living in the world right now, but love makes it a damn sight more bearable. Queer love is awesome, queer joy is awesome. I wish you all the best, friend.

#ask#marriage advice#lgbt#my advice is always stuff like 'talk to each other. foster trust. make each other laugh.'#i dunno that it's ever groundbreaking but it's worked really well for us so far#and i think it helps lay a strong foundation for the future so we don't wind up being that old couple that's always bickering#also: having separate hobbies is great. it gives you space to be in your own head and your own vibes sometimes#and then you can get back with your person and tell them all about what you've been up to#parallel play is also really excellent. one of my favorite things. i'll just hang out with a book while she's gardening or whatever#it's a good time

Hi! Do you still keep up with Critical Role?

Hey! I’ve fallen woefully behind on CR, but I have a long-standing habit of checking the tag Friday mornings to see if anything catastrophic has happened. So I tend to know the big stuff, but I think in terms of watching, I’m still in the episode with the team-bonding in the faewild.

#ask#I love CR! I just do not have the mental capacity for long eps right now#I’m behind on everything after like. the CR sick day.

I’m like that meme with the dog, but for haircuts. Fuckin’ hate sitting for a haircut.

#my wife’s been cutting my hair since Covid began#and that’s nicer than having to go somewhere and do the awkward talking thing#but even still. I never want to sit for it. I just want it to be done#same with hair dye. I’d dye my hair so much more often if it could be automatic#that said my next actual haircut will be with an enby and I’m curious to see how they’ll do#compared to the rather unpleasant cis woman who last just like. snapped her fingers wordlessly at me
