So, this weekend is Chicon! aka the World Science Fiction Convention in Chicago! So I'm going to be very, very gone most of this weekend.
Due to working in education, I can't take two days off in a row so tomorrow is going to be my first day... post The Eclipse and subsequent screaming, of course.
There might be pictures, we'll see!
Anyway, the con goes through Monday so I'm likely to be fairly missing outside mornings for this weekend. I'm gonna do my best to keep up with BL because I don't cope well with catching up (lol) but asks will be left waiting.
Anyway! I'm excited but also a four day convention is going to be exhausting, dear lord. It's all fun and games but I'm also an introvert's introvert and I'm very grateful to be commuter conning this one so I get to sleep in my own bed and watch BL in between long days off socializing.
I have to decide a day to wear my BL cosplay. Probably Sunday.

I found a stray kitten yesterday. He's fairly friendly, and he already gotten a bath and been to the vet. Now we're just trying to figure out names!

BALANCE THE PARTY
social justice barbarian
Never met a nazi they wouldn't punch.
Never met a cop they wouldn't call a nazi.
Treats the soft animal of their body like a lance
to the heart of a tyrant.
Their anger is a gift from God–
it transubstantiates.
social justice necromancer
Reads her history.
Says their names.
Goes through cemeteries
leaving flowers, grave-borrowing tactics.
Coaxes the spirits from their beds
to let them dance; we realize
we have always been beautiful.
social justice rogue
Unplucks the landlord's tapestries at night.
She covers her face, she code-names,
wipes the prints from her hand
after shaking. She's a lot.
A blade in the dark that daylight can't soften.
She hums a mantra called mission;
it's all the warning you'll get.
social justice bard
Makes his sincerity a lute
and plucks fingers raw upon it.
Has brass knuckles on the inside of his throat.
Knows what to say to soothe
the scared guy sleeping rough,
to make the officer laugh
instead of shove.
social justice druid
Gives you grace and space to grow.
Makes a weird balm to calm your hurts.
Turns into a panther once a day
dispensing courage;
turns into a dove once a day
dispensing peace. Serves the world
from the half-empty vessel
in their heart.
social justice warlock
Sold her soul to do DEI
for a Fortune 500 company.
Walks each day through thicketed razors,
carving footholds in a hill of glass.
The job takes its pint of blood so slowly,
it is possible to believe
she doesn't feel it.
social justice paladin
Always knows the words.
Is afraid of what will happen
if they forget them.
It's not an excuse, but it is sandpaper,
truths nailed into the shoebeds.
They're implacable
from the outside.
They can't believe I would love them
without their fury.
social justice cleric
The people tell her, "Your mouth
ruined our movement. You suffer in silence
all the time–what's one more?"
She believes in a love whose demands
cut friends and enemies alike.
She cleanses, sad surgeon.
She is martyred twice.
From the ground where her tears fall,
a perfect flower grows.
social justice warforged
Has a fuckin' truck!!!
He rolls up to mutual aid
and the people rejoice at his truck.
He is become a mover of things,
a Christ-bearer: mattresses and gasoline,
the girl who needs a ride across the state.
She says bless you, bless your truck,
and his heart swells.
He never knew he could be so needed.
social justice giant crab
Strength +1. Intelligence -5.
She is a crab. She has 13 hit points
and claws for hands–
but she can breathe water and air.
She knows what the surface looks like
from underneath. She carries wisdom
in her crab body that the arc of the universe
will always bend to rediscover.
Don't you get it?
That we all have gifts to give?

I'm kinda of curious since you seem to have been infected with the Shroud brainrot, do you have any thoughts on Idia and Lilia being internet friends?
oh I have absolutely been infected with Shroud brainrot, how did they shoot right up next to grampa vampire and his idiot dragon son, I did not anticipate this plot twist
"Idia and Lilia don't realize that they're WoW friends" is probably my favorite running gag (+ bonus Silver bragging about his Cool Jock Gamer Dad in front of Idia, who makes neither connection and ends up just being super intimidated by this hypothetical chad dad). and if I'm being 100% honest I was actually a little disappointed that it ended up being blatantly shown because it makes for SUCH a good "hey wait a minute" moment as they both go on about their online bestie. BUT their friendship is actually really sweet and getting to see (and now hear, Lilia WHY do you talk like that online WHY IS THAT YOUR ONLINE VOICE) them interact more than made up for that, so I'm happy to see it! 💚 now that it's in the main story I am expecting some choice bits in episode 7. can't wait for Idia to be forced into even more social interaction against his will.
there is also a particularly good bit in one of Idia's stories where Lilia brings up the possibility of meeting offline and they're just. both of them are just like.

I once wrote a headcanon stating each of the Rise bois’ favourite musicals because let’s be real they live underneath Broadway and their dad is an actor of course they’re theatre kids…
If I remember correctly, I proposed that Raph’s fav was Hades Town, Mikey’s was Hamilton, and Leo’s was Wicked. I figured that Donnie’s fav was Be More Chill.
I am now altering that headcanon, I submit to you that Leo would enjoy In The Heights so much because of all the Spanish in that musical and if they love Lin-Manuel Miranda then OF COURSE Leo would love that musical. And I think that Donnie, though he does like Be More Chill, would absolutely ADORE Little Shop of Horrors.
(And no this has nothing to do with the fact that I recently became obsessed with the revamped musical with Jonathon Groff and Jeremy Jordan, what are you even talking about—)
