Iris (she/they)

So spicy! 🥵

I doubted the mustardiness of this bagel. Now the mustard gods have smote me. The tears are streaming down my face. It has been so long since I've had English mustard

I feel like, when you order a bagel with salt beef and gherkins, the mustard is implied?

Oh no, I've eaten all my train snacks.

These look so good! 😍

From Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse Vol. 4: The Seven Ghosts Mickey finds Goofy, sitting in an armchair and wearing a suit, looking glum. Mickey: Gosh! What's th' matter, Goofy? Are ya sick or somethin'?? Goofy: Nope! I'm just plain happy - a-settin' here thinkin' beautiful thoughts!

London friends, you're invited to cocktails when I get there!

I am going on holiday tomorrow, and I've done almost all of my tasks to get ready!

A black and white cat in a tall cat tree

My cat Phoebe-beebie is on holiday at some kind of cat palace :)

I miss her already! I can't believe it's going to be more than two weeks :(

The back of a head with a bald pattern in dark hair

I was in a fire when I was twelve. There are a few faint grey lines around my face that were once burn scars. The only true evidence is the baldy bit at the back of my head (pictured below)

I am not supposed to like my hair short, because it exposes the old burn pattern, but I do. I do like it.

Sounds like a plan, dollface

The cat is sleeping on my pillow and is now snoring sweetly against my ear. I cannot sleep

A screenshot of the TV show Petrocelli featuring Barry Newman as Tony Petrocelli. The text, in the form of a subtitle, reads: Iris, are you all right? You look like you're developing an intense crush on the late actor Barry Newman

🤨: Iris, are you all right? You look like you're staying up late watching Petrocelli

👨🏽:

You look perfect in this pic. So, yes???

I'm giving away my perfect story premise:

THE WEREMAN

A woman is bitten by a man during sex. She's cursed to turn into a man every full moon. He uses his new powers to go out alone after dark. He falls in love with a woman but struggles to tell her his secret

Almost time for a 9pm emergency quesadilla

We all know Walter Groggins 🤷🏽‍♂️

Dating on the apps is not going well. Everyone who likes me is a cishet man???

I want to read your stuff!

Thank you! I think you're right :)

Good books can be about anything. I've never been a big believer in needing the perfect premise for a novel.

Then I came up with the perfect premise for a novel...

Haha! Finch is such a great app

I'm like this about whether I should shave my hair. A long internal argument and then the inevitable 💇🏽‍♂️

I am training this app to show me infinite pictures of pizza because I am, at heart, a Ninja Turtle 🐢
