People you want to get to know better

Tagged by @dwead-piwate-meggers (thank you! I am having a stressful morning because of boiler noises so this is very sweet and appreciated)

1. Three Ships: Varies on depending what I'm into, but right now - Beau/Yasha from Critical Role, Leliana/F Warden from Dragon Age, Korra/Asami forever.

2. First Ever Ship: The earliest I can ever remember being invested in the relationship side of things I think was either Quasimodo/Esmerelda (Disney version) or Hercules/Meg. Although looking back Esmerelda was my baby gay awakening so I don't even know what was going on there.

3. Last Song: Last one was from tumblr - Sa Ma (Horse Races) by Haihuai Huang. The last song I intentionally listened to was the Punk Rock Factory cover of Poor Unfortunate Souls (an absolute banger).

4. Last Movie: Shotgun Wedding - 3 out of 5. Pretty fun. Last movie I really enjoyed is a hard decision between Knives Out: Glass Onion and the Lost City.

5. Currently Reading: I usually have two physical books and a couple of kindles on the go along with whatever section of Ao3 I am stuck on. Currently:

The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karuntilaka - really good, a photographer in Sri Lanka who is dead trying to figure out what happened. But holy heck it's a grim read at times.

How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran - a lot of people get put off by the title because they think it's a guide. It's more how Caitlin herself figured out what it means for her specifically, and she is a tremendously funny writer. She doesn't hold back on descriptions of various bodily fluids.

Crazy Rich Asians Trilogy by Kevin Kwan - this is my go to re-read at the moment. Rachel's reaction to the mad world of the super-rich is extremely relatable but Kevin's true talent is describing beautiful architecture and FOOD. Oh my god the food descriptions. I want to go to a Singapore hawker's market so badly.

The Adventure Zone graphic novels by the McElroys. The next book is out this month! I am ridiculously excited!

6. Currently Watching: Season 2 of the Legend of Vox Machina. I never watched the first campaign as the second was starting around the time I got into it, and this is a great way of saving me 400 hours of my life.

7. Currently Consuming: Tea with milk. I rarely drink tea but I have an engineer in the flat and it feels like I'm not entirely ignoring him if I offer tea periodically. Also it's cold as tits in my flat rn.

8. Currently Craving: I love making Chinese-inspired chicken thighs. The marinade is five-spice, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine and ginger. Sometimes I put a little tomato puree in there too. Soak in the marinade for two hours/overnight, and then bake in the oven for 40 mins. They are so good and I am never not wanting them.

So, LP is 3 now…

#meggers does life #meggers’ adventures with littles

[dwead-piwate-meggers]

LP: I’m not done talking!

Me: it’s bedtime, buddy.

LP: But I have lot of things in my mind!

#meggers does life #meggers’ adventures with littles #lmao I can’t with this kid some days #like #how do I argue with that

[dwead-piwate-meggers]

Tucked LP in tonight and right as I was about to walk out the door…

LP: there’s a scary monster

Me: where?

LP: *points under the bed*

Me: *looks under the bed*

Me: hey, scary monster.

Me, with scary monster voice: hey

Me: what are you doing down there?

Me, with scary monster voice: just watching to make sure LP is safe while he’s sleeping

Me: *looks back at LP*

Me: he’s just here to keep you safe, buddy.

LP: he needs to be on the shelf with Black Bubbles (a stuffed monkey, who is responsible for keeping LP safe while he sleeps)

And that is how an imaginary monster, supervised by a stuffed monkey, became an apprentice security guard.

Me: Oh, really?

TS: *nods seriously*

Thank you time change for ensuring that TS would get up at 3am and LP would be up by 5:30am. Thank you inventors of DST for royally fucking up my kids’ sleep schedules.

#meggers does life #meggers’ adventures with littles #I hate the time change so much…

[dwead-piwate-meggers]

LP sick, Ry sick, trying to keep the Tiny Siren isolated and hoping I don’t catch whatever the other two have while I try to keep things under control.

[dwead-piwate-meggers]

Have finally figured out how to refer to the Littlest Pirate’s Little Sister on the internet:

Tiny Siren

(if anyone could be loud enough to be heard over crashing waves, it’s this kiddo)

#meggers does life #meggers’ adventures with littles

[dwead-piwate-meggers]

TS has her first ear infection, poor wee mite. Anyway she’s miserable and I ache all over from trying to keep her comfortable, because she just wants to be bounced gently.

#meggers’ adventures with littles #between the littles and the husband it sure has been a month here

[dwead-piwate-meggers]

TS’s preferred method of snuggling is to mash her forehead gently but firmly into my cheek.

#meggers’ adventures with littles

[dwead-piwate-meggers]

So, the Tiny Siren goes to bed a half hour before the Littlest Pirate. LP joins in for her bedtime routine: he picks a story and puts it away, tidies up her toys, turns on her nightlight and closes the door.

Tonight, unprompted, after putting her book away he came over to where she was sitting on my lap, and gave her a big toddler hug goodnight.

Ryan has had a crack in his windshield for a week or so.

Two days ago, LP (who has some very toddler-like articulation) asked, “When daddy going to fix his crap?”

#meggers does life #adventures with littles

[dwead-piwate-meggers]

For reasons known only to himself, LP is SUPER stoked to help change his newborn sister’s diaper.

(He passes me wipes).

Little lady just turned her head towards me and burped directly in my face.

This is the only time in your life that will be adorable rather than gross, bub.
