Tickybox, who is a fan of WWDitS, has asked if she can be my minion, as she recognizes my vampire status.
(She also ships Guillermo/Nandor. Because we raised her right.)
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, ladies and lords and non-binary nobles-in-waiting are always welcome so long as you believe in my mission statement. I'm a modern queen. I have a mission statement. It involves supporting right of all to fuck about, especially when the world has gone mad.
I will bend the knee, assuming I can do it from the sofa.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I feel like inherent to being Vampire Witch Queen is that you just claim the position. No democracy involved whatsoever.
I will support the thesis that this holds true for any sovereign title.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Sorry, Pix, while I am fully in support of your mission, I pledged myself to Atropa's goal years ago. I will be the one standing near the throne calmly saying "Does the entire opposing group really need to be wiped out in a cinematic froth of blood, or do you need a snack?" I can easily imagine Tickybox as the princeling sprawled over a chair drawing satirical sketches of courtiers.
Bev, OF COURSE B. is rebuilding the shed and being paid in noms! Because that is who he is. If'n I were the neighbor in question, I would be documenting the crap out of this and making polite inquiries of a lawyer, but I completely understand their not having the funds/fortitude for such a thing.
And now I want pie.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Today is my MIL's birthday, so we had a socially-distanced dinner at her place. Originally the idea was to eat in her backyard, but a serious thunderstorm came up, so we ate in her garage,(Her at a table on one side of the car, us at a table on the other side of the car.) It was interesting...

Oh, my. This is now the world we live in...
I'm trying to get my bosses to sign onto a plan in which I load my laptop, my bike, and my dog into my hatchback and drive to Colorado, where I crash with my brother's family for a month. Change of scene, change of pace, biking and hiking and games with the kids. Could be great. But I have to get permission to go, and have to figure out how to do a two-day drive safely...

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Atropa, do you still need me to be a decorative piece? I can slounge very well - I've been praticing!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds so nice, Consuela! Good luck with the official okay.

Our wings are not tired.
That sounds good, Consuela. Make it happen.
I'm having a grandson. Had big family joint video call. I'm delighted. My poor MIL though. She has 6 grandsons and now the first great grandchild is a boy too. This be how the Holt genes roll. She's still hoping for a girl someday. I did remind her she could have tea parties with boys and she agreed.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That kind of thing is so funny -- we are mostly girls on both sides of my family!
Congrats!!
