Having one of those days weeks where I'm not happy with any of the projects that I thought were close to finished. Close to starting over, more like.
Bah.

Casting a spell on you that makes you happy, by the way. Your day tomorrow will be pretty good. Something nice will happen, maybe.
can you believe that we have fanfiction. that we have websites dedicated to fanfiction. that there is a place that you can go and read tens, hundreds, thousands and thousands of pieces of writing that strangers have made. people who are not "writers". people who come home at the end of the day and have feelings and say, i am going to put that into words. i am going to share those words. short, long, sweet, sad, horny, funny, wonderful words. we are all just human and we all love to make and remake and share that with others. can you believe that.
it’s been said before and it will be said again but i’m begging you all nicely to restrain yourselves from being so casually aggressive and rude and obnoxious in the tags & reblogs of a complete stranger’s posts. no one wants to know that you hate [tv show that op giffed]. no one wants to know that you hate [character that op drew]. no one wants to hear you being ugly and negative for no reason. say what you want to say in your own post. don’t hit the reblog button. blacklist relevant tags. unfollow or block relevant accounts. log out. shut down. get help.
foxtv: I can’t believe it’s been a year since the best day of my life!!! 🥹💍

This is not the anniversary fic I'd wanted to write but it's the one that happened ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rating: T Pairing: TK/Carlos Word Count: 1800
TK catches Tommy’s eye beyond them, she blows him a kiss and he puts his hand over his heart, thanking her with a nod. Carlos hasn’t moved next to him, his elbow is still leaned on TK’s knee and his fingers are still wrapped possessively around TK’s ankle. TK sniffs and wipes some moisture off his own cheek and then turns to him – to his husband – and tries to smile when Carlos’s tear-streaked face turns back at him.
“Hey, baby,” TK whispers, soft enough that were they a few inches further apart Carlos might not be able to hear him. “Sorry. Didn’t mean to make you cry.”
Carlos’s lips curve into a small responding smile and he shakes his head. “It’s okay.”
He tilts his chin forward, asking for a kiss, that TK gives him readily because he thinks it would hurt like having a limb ripped off if he didn’t. Carlos’s lips are smooth and damp against his, wet with the salt from his tears.
“Wanna go for a walk?” TK asks when they part, and Carlos quickly nods. TK knows him so well. He knows how much Carlos is squirming inside at the idea of sitting here surrounded by people while vulnerability is spilling out of him uncontrolled like water through a crack in a levy. He’d been so proud earlier that he wondered if he might be glowing when Carlos had teared up during his vows and admitted to a crowd how scared he’s been for so much of his life. TK knew that already, but Carlos is loath to confess to having soft places in anyone else’s company. It was more than enough of being uncovered like that for one day, TK thinks, so he needs to rescue his husband from any further exposure.
He stands, and Carlos stands with him. Next to them Andrea smiles as Carlos lifts his arm and TK tucks himself safely underneath it, wrapping his own around Carlos’s waist so they can press together as they maneuver around chairs and guests and escape out the back of the venue. He’s sure they’re being watched so he steps with purpose, guiding Carlos away from prying eyes.

My cats have this meow that means "please come with me to fix this" after which they'll lead me to the problem in question, usually a empty (or 'empty') food bowl or a closed door they want open. They look at the 'problem', they look back at me, clear message.
What fascinates me is how this illustrates what they percieve as being in the realm of my 'power.' I control the food, I control the door, sure, but my cats love to sit on the balcony in the sun, and it has happened plenty of times that on a rainy day they come get me, go to the balcony and show me... the rain. "Please fix this" they say. "Please get rid of the wet"
"Silly kitty," I say, "I can't control the rain." I then walk into the shower and turn on the rain.
I hope this is a universal cat owner experience. Every single night he begs me to turn the sun back on so he can watch birds on the balcony. I tell him no, I cannot do that.
But I can turn lights on and off in the house and he's fairly certain I'm just not applying myself properly here.
