Mh has been reading the kids The Hobbit at bedtime. Ds (5) just came downstairs and announced that he made a bunch of characters from The Hobbit and proceeded to list them off. Be still my geeky heart! Gandalf. Bilbo in his armor. Bilbo’s pony. Thorin Oakenshield with his crown. Bard. Smaug. And all of the Lake-Men (not pictured but a variety of lego people with swords, axes, spears, etc).

mischief, hey lady! We've missed you too! Nothing super new and exciting happening over here. Cookie season is finally over at least. And now we're in April, when H has his con. They're still having it this year, though I'm nervous about the whole thing. Less nervous because H is fully vaccinated, but still nervous.

HEYYYYY LOVELY LADIESSSSS!!!! I have missed you guys a bunch! So tell me how are things? Whats new? Anything exciting happening with you? Big achievements? Hi!!!! I know I am super late posting but 🤷🏻♀️. I haven’t been on the boards much. I have been on a discord channel for one of my favorite podcasts A LOT and it’s eaten a lot of my online time. I am ok. Just living that pandemic life. I painted my living room/dining room. That’s my big excitement.

Did anyone watch the series premiere of The Nevers on HBO Max last night?
H and I really enjoyed it, knowing very little about it, and then BAM, credits roll: written, directed, and produced by Joss Whedon.
FUCK.
We both agree that watching his new stuff isn't the same as re-watching old stuff, but then of course I don't want the show to fail just because he's an asshole, if there are some great actors in it who I DO want to succeed.
Just. What a bummer. Anyone else?

HEYYYYY LOVELY LADIESSSSS!!!! I have missed you guys a bunch! So tell me how are things? Whats new? Anything exciting happening with you? Big achievements? Please to answer all of these questions for yourself as well! 🥰🥰 H is getting ready to leave for a year for the NG. He will be in DC, so we can visit and the boys are old enough this time that they can go and actually enjoy things. I am almost 100% done with my old business! Just closing up bookkeeping stuff and then I’m done🙌🏻🙌🏻 I haven’t spoken with my ex business partner in over a month and it is so.much.better without her in my life. I started my own store 😂 it wasn’t what I expected to do but I had an epiphany in the bath one day and realized I wasn’t ready to give it up! It’s actually in the exact same space as the old one (My landlord is amazing and happily welcome me back). I’ve been super busy, and sort of have three jobs at the moment? 🥴 I need to quit one for sanity. But otherwise doing well and mentally/emotionally doing so much better!

Even so, we enjoyed it up until the fucking alien spaceship because that just felt like a cheap cop out. I mean really? No comet, no supernova no other random radioactive event, just an alien spaceship on a deiveby. 🙄 (although my H and I joked that maybe they were just randomly dumping their radioactive material on us, lol) Maybe Joss is actually this guy. Also, while I have no interest in Joss Whedon, I don't want to dismiss the contributions of everyone else involved in this project, so I want it to be a resounding success so it can continue on without him.

Hey hey the prodigal daughter returns again! I will be around more now because I finally did it. I gave my 13 accounts away in King of Avalon. It escalated very quickly from just uninstalling it from my phone and taking a small break to giving all of the login info to my in-game "adopted son". It is a weird feeling but I have so much more time now, I knew it was a time suck but I dont think I realized how much. I have been loom knitting, coloring, and doing crafts on my Cricut. Its also nice to not have to schedule my life around game events. (Even Im like "really self?")
Im sure it was obvious that I was obsessed with the game and it truly impacted my real life in a lot of intense ways. Some of them were positive and magnificent, I made some lifelong friends, that I thankfully have contact with outside of the game but there were definitely some really bad parts. My bank account is basically weeping with relief and happiness, and TBH so is my H. I basically let it consume me for over a year and a half. Im pretty sad about it but at the same time, it's so freeing. I seriously dropped over 5k into a phone game, and that's probably being pretty generous, Im sure it was more. Then I gave it all away to a 13-year-old. He also inherited my position as the leader of our alliance. Im pretty sure that there are more than a few people that are angry with me because I didn't even say goodbye but if I didn't do it this way I would have never walked away. But damn Im in my feels about it.

But damn Im in my feels about it. I spent hours and hours and hours playing The Realm on the computer when I was younger. I sometimes still wonder what some of my guild people are up to and who they were. I totally understand it being hard to walk away from a game!

Im still in the group chats for my alliance and so Ill find myself looking for the game when I get notifications for events before Im like "oh yeah". It was also getting too expensive, they used to only do updates once in awhile but now it feels like every month theres something new you have to drop a bunch of cash for. People are dropping like flies in our kingdom. Several of our biggest players quit just this week. And these are people have spent literally hundreds of thousands of dollars. Its like the end of an era.
Im feeling better about it everyday, I havent really missed it as much as I thought I would, just the people. But Ive been reaching out to them in Line instead. And strangely enough my stress levels have gone down. Wonder why that is? hmmmmmmm ,lol

I've been super MIA lately, struggling with my challenging almost-4 yr old and general anxiety. Meme thread has really been a lifesaver =D Anyway I just wanted to share this sweet story of my son this morning. We have a deal with him that he can earn a Pokemon card by doing extra age-appropriate chores. Yesterday I had him do a chore and he was able to choose a card. He picked Persian, who is a cat. MH made a joke like "oh I bet Mom likes this one, she loves cats and his power is Cat Gathering" (I am legit a crazy cat lady). This morning, DS came downstairs and he goes "Mom, I have something for you. This is your favorite card and I want you to have it." He gave me Persian. It really made me smile, that he would give me something that he had worked for and spent time choosing out of a pile.

I saw a lot of shitty comments about how he wasn't even in the movies for very long and so he was an irrelevant character and honestly it made me clutch my pearls because whether he was in it for 5 minutes or 56 hours he is still motherfucking iconic

Tom Felton is only in the entire series for like 30 minutes on screen. So a lot of people were saying doing he doesn't deserve to bask in it's glory.

He may have been in it for a few minutes, but he was exactly who I pictured as Malfoy. (I didn’t picture Jason Isaacs, but love him too) A lot of small roles made big impacts, because that was the job. Robert Pattinson was in how many minutes, but will always be Cedric Digorry (unless their twilight fans)? He had one job and he played it brilliantly.
