"What I liked about Shira the most was that she has a fish out of water element to her. I like the energy of someone who is very strong in their own world, but you take them out of that and all of a sudden it's kind of like the walls are falling around them and they're trying to stay strong, but seem a little lost and confused by the ground underneath their feet. That it gives her a sense of vulnerability, whether she wants to be vulnerable or not." -Constance Zimmer (YoungEntertainmentMag interview)

Hey you know how I said I was going to make a workbook on the kind of bullshit you need to do when someone you love dies? I actually did that.

Featuring Helpful Sections such as:

  • Death Certificates – What you need, why you need them, and how to get them
  • Prepare to spend a long and miserable time on the phone
  • What the Everloving Fuck is Probate
  • Some Simple Dos and Don’ts
  • Shitty Mad Libs – Templates for writing Obituaries and Memorials
  • How to plan a non-religious death party
  • So you suddenly have to become some sort of hacker or some shit

This is an eighteen page book that you can print out, download, share, and give away; it is meant to be used to collect information about funeral planning and account management after a death OR you can use it BEFORE you die and give people information so they’re not stuck playing Nancy Fucking Drew while trying to keep seventeen cousins who crawled out of the woodwork from gutting each other in front of the fucking casket as they argue about who’s inheriting grandma’s favorite dentures.

It’s not exactly cheerful and it’s full of things that are probably going to feel really fucking raw if you’re processing a fresh death.

I’m sorry! I love you! Death is shitty! I’m trying to laugh about it a little and I hope you can laugh a little too because otherwise we’re all just going to cry together.

Good luck!

(in memory of my weirdo mother and her weirdo siblings who all died too fucking young and left me holding this flaming bag of dogshit)

This is so radically kind, thank you

You’re welcome!

Life is short, kindness is what we’ve got.

When my mom died it wasn’t exactly unexpected but it was still sooner than we all thought it would happen. It was a huge punch in the guts and the thought of making things and not being able to show her and share them with her still hurts but in that first month it was like drowning.

So I made this for her, and shared it with and showed it to other people who are hurting, because my momma didn’t raise a quitter but she sure did raise a softhearted fool who wants everyone to feel a little more loved and a little more worthy and a little less alone.

I love you. Take care. Be kind.

I present: Alphabet Squadron. Nath Tensent, Kairos, Yrica Quell, I-TO, Chass na Chadic, and Wyl Lark

I've been reading the Alphabet Squadron books and while they may not be my favorite, I couldn't help but feel the urge to make some minifigs. I tried my best to recreate their likenesses in Lego. They're not accurate, but the only official pictures don't really show too much

NSFW blogs do not reblog!

Alphabet Squadron sketch dump ✨️

I did a reread of ABC earlier this year and had full blown brainrot for the front half of 2022. Managed to suck 2 whole people into Alphabet Squadron hell with me, too! ✌️ It's hands down one of my favorite SW series, I love the characters and story so so much.

When me and my spouse were at SWCA with some of my postcards that had Yrica on them it was genuinely the best to spot fellow ABC fans. I'm so sad that Alexander Freed wasn't there so I could express to him how much these books mean to me, alas!

Forever love these very queer, absolute disaster pilots.
