THE DITTO MAT. oh my god i need to find you as soon as possible but we’re in the theatre until 12:30. 😭 this is my goal the moment we’re out of there; we’ve been after a ditto mat for so long.

Sitting in the hotel room absolutely exhausted… but no, said the circadian rhythm- we may not sleep until 2am!

It’s going to be fumes all weekend I fear.

We also want to give a great big shoutout to @theladye.bsky.social, who went back to Honest Burger and didn’t drop a single bite of burger on herself this time! ✨💖🎉

She dropped a chip instead.
(It didn’t leave a mark so it doesn’t count)

All four photos are a man and his beautiful wife who definitely know what they’re doing. Every one is either poorly framed or blurry.

We’re all settled in London, so it’s officially Kupocon weekend for the wife and we! ✨

we tried to take a selfie to commemorate, but I don’t think either of us know how

Pull headline: "US judges dismiss lawsuits accusing Neil Gaiman of sexism assault" from The Guardian

"Pavlovich also dropped the portion of the Wisconsin lawsuit against Palmer in May, and US district judge James Peterson in Madison dismissed the rest of it in October, saying Pavlovich needed to pursue the case in New Zealand. US district judge Nathaniel Gorton in Boston threw out the Massachusetts filing on Friday on the same grounds."

top of the article that reads "us judges dismiss lawsuits accusing Neil Gaiman of sexism assault" and the article begins "federal judges have dismissed three lawsuits accusing the best selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman of security assaulting his children's nanny in new Zealand four years ago"

The Guardian is running damage control for Gaiman again, using a misleading pull headline.

Once again: the case was dropped because it needs to be pursued in New Zealand where the alleged offences took place.

This is not new information, and has already been reported on. So heads up.

It’s one of those things that we’ve picked up naturally, but as an autistic actor we struggle sometimes to make it feel real To Us.

But at the same time, it’s hard to know if that’s just a disconnect being autistic. It can also be the disconnect of us not believing it making it less so- we got this

I cannot quite say how much life has been up and down with health and adjustments lately, because I literally don’t have the energy or the brain workings.

But we have theatre class tonight and I am so excited because I think we’re getting pointers on how to really make acting believable. ;u;

The six-seven reply coming from an account that’s referencing Vib Ribbon- a PS1 game from the late 1990s- is the bizarre icing on the cake.

I can only read it in Vibri’s voice.

The manual for Wario Blast: Featuring Bomberman shows an extremely low level of effort regarding Wario illustrations. Despite Bomberman receiving various different drawings, only one artwork of Wario is used, which is repeated 19 times without any alterations.

Very dependent on how short, but we were 5’5” and 13 stone, and ours was fine with it. ✨ We’ve seen top surgery happen for folk online that would likely count as obese, so if that’s any consolation.

Best of luck though!! Zero regrets for getting ours. Could not recommend it more.

Tumblr post by and-fishing-equipment reading "in 2026 DO NOT ask yourself whether your art is GOOD instead ask: - Is it SINCERE - is it CATHARTIC - was it FUN TO MAKE - is it MADE BY ME and don't forget to stay silly"

Guys look at my new strat I worked so hard on it

Positivity and hope, even when it seems impossible, is something we’re clinging onto this year.

To be real, I don’t know if we can get through without it. Our physical health in particular had gotten worse, and with finally pursuing performing, knowing it stops us is frustrating.

But we have hope.

It’ll potentially be years until we’re seen, diagnosed, and given medication- if it even agrees with us enough to work. And that hurts, I won’t lie. But it’s still a positive- a potential.

For now we change our diet, avoid triggers where we can, and continue our H1s- it’s not all bad. 🤍

The last week has been a muddle of medical, new meds, nasty side-effects… sadly as much as the H2 Anti-Histamines worked, the negatives were unbearable.

And Quercetin would mean a week of pressure headaches for something that might negatively impact transition knowing our luck.

So, we wait.

A retro-vintage style illustration of a sweet-treat-looking bunny. She looks anxious and grips onto his scarf whilst staring at the viewer with blank eyes.

We were introduced to the cinnaverse adoptables and the part of our art brain that grew up on Gaia and Neopets went feral.

The End. (2025)

so it turns out you can have a secondary allergic reaction. Throat closed up so tight we felt like we were swallowing a golf ball. :V

I know we’ve had these symptoms before, but we just thought it was fibro. Now we know what it is, it’s a tad bit scary innit.

Wait what am I talking about- we’ve watched Hallmark’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ a million times.

That likely knocks Casper off the list. But we will forever watch that movie if not just to stare at Dr. James Harvey’s incredible fashion sense and general daddery.

Our top five most watched movies (as far as we can recall)

- Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
- Coraline
- Casper (1995)
- Moulin Rouge
- Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (2005)

We don’t watch movies as much these days, so a good portion of these are from hyperfixation re-watches.

Anyone who has ‘Moulin Rouge’ in their top 5 at any point. 😌👌 (if you can ever see the theatre musical, highly recommend it)
