Oh, Cass.
I'm glad you are getting support/relief and glad you decided to post that. Because yeah.
Wash: I'm not leaving her side, Mal. Don't ask me again. Mal: I wasn't asking. I was telling.
'Out Of Gas'
ita's thread
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Jesus, this is all settling in as to how real this is now. This is actually a thing that has happened and ita isn't here at all anymore. No.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I finally told my close friend who lost her sister (also in her mid-forties) suddenly last year. It made it more real for me.
Allyson, if you are reading, she really commiserates with you telling her mother and hearing a sound you will never forget. She was the one who found her sister and had to tell her mother and she is thinking of you and Polgara and Kristen and Burrell. She says that she has heard it too, and it is hard.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That article was wonderful, as was the picture. Thanks for posting it.
I'm glad that everyone who is having to take care of ita's affairs right now has the support of others who feel the same. I'm glad no one has to do it alone.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And they are being fairly unsentimental about much of the fandom stuff, so they want to know if y'all want anything--LotR playing cards, Crow collectible cards, dvds, shoes, books, etc.
Oh man, make sure they know the Legolas/LotR knives were a gift from us and not to be tossed away. And, of course, her ita action figure needs a home (DXM made it).

And her class protector medal.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
THey loved the knives, swords, and the action figure and took them. There's a big pile of things we think the Buffistas would like. Found her Buffistas Security tshirt signed by Joss. No idea what to do with it.

Allyson, what was the ita quote from today, if you recall? I am telling a friend about her.
My brain is Jell-O soup, so forgive me if I botch it:
The bitterness of poor quality will soon replace the sweetness of a low price.

It's not their ita and that's fine.
Tonight, I packed some tschotskies that undid my friend and I got the backstory. I might be the only one to know the whole story. And that hit home. It was a story 3 gen back.When we're gone, it's left to others to tell our story. And it won't be perfect or right and things will be forgotten, but it's not the beloveds' fault. If we're lucky, it's because there are so many stories to tell, many only to be told by the departed, which means they are lost.
And it sucks, but you cherish what you can have. And I'm maudlin and shit.
