So do you ever present male or is this just a fad to you?

…wow.

Non-binary people do not owe you masculinity, femininity, or androgyny. Non-binary doesn’t mean that if I am not presenting as one then I must present as another. Non-binary means…well. NOT BINARY.

I identify as non-binary because I don’t feel particularly attached to my assigned at birth gender. Sometimes I feel a bit more boyish or masculine. Sometimes I explore hyperfeminity through drag on my terms and not society’s.

I feel a general neutrality towards the concept of gender. It’s just whatever. Coming to understand non-binary as it applies to me helped me to come to terms with an often dysphoric frame of mind when it came to more “masculine” aspects of my thinking and my appearance. Learning about genderfluid identities helped me become more comfortable and accepting of all aspects of myself. Most of the time I present neutral-feminine just because that’s my “blank slate” default and I have big boobs - I struggled for years to even accept that it was okay to do that and reject society’s expectations for just stepping outside my house. Sometimes I skew more on the tomboyish masculine side and that makes me tremendously happy. Sometimes I present very femme and THAT makes me happy. Sometimes I aim for a generally edgy and androgynous look, and I’d date me, I’m hot af then.

So there. I didn’t owe you any explanation, you rude asshole, but there it is. It’s not a fad and you’re a jerk.

Karppi keeping food in her pocket, even though she never eats, just because Nurmi is always hungry is a love language.

uggghhhh can anyone else cut the tension with a knife here? I feel like she can’t even look at him!

anyway, Rike has said in a few Twitter comments that S3 is coming to Finland in the autumn and he thinks - but isn’t sure - that everyone else will get it some time in 2022.

So I suppose it’s time to get our bets in on storylines. Anyone else think Laura’s going to turn up dead or in drug trouble from someone in her past and Nurmi has to actually face fatherhood? I feel like that there’s no way that storyline was wrapped up so neatly for nothing…

Hey! I know this is a long short but I read one of your old old klaine fanfics 'Velvet Petals, Piercing Thorns', and noticed that you had a sequel but it was incomplete. It showed the amount of chapters (currently 3/21) so I was just wondering if its posted anywhere else but you didn't post the rest on AO3. Sometimes I've noticed some authors other post heavier on one site. I'm new on the klainetrain (only this year) so I wasn't around when you wrote it. The first story was incredible so I just thought I'd chance it and ask. Either way thank you for writing such a great story! And I'm sure the fandom was sad to see you go! Hope you are safe and well x

Oh wow! Hi!

I’m sorry to say that ‘Blood Roses’ is one of my several sequel fics that fell by the wayside when I got disillusioned with fandom. I have my notes for it and I think about it a lot, but ‘Velvet Petals’ was a BEAST and ‘Blood Roses’ was shaping up to be even longer and more complex - I just don’t foresee EVER having the spoons to get Lizzie and Rory and Kurt and Blaine and everyone out of my head and onto paper again. I am struggling to finish working on a book that will be half the length I projected BR to be, so I feel pretty confident in making that claim 😅 But who knows. Maybe Glee in Tudor England is what I need to break this wicked case of editing no-mojo and I should revisit it. 😅😅😅

No, in all seriousness, I am terribly sorry. I never did want to be one of those fic writers who left unfinished work behind. It wasn’t my intention; in fact it very loudly wasn’t my intention! But other stories and pairings got their way, and then I got really annoyed with Glee in general, and then I began to write books…

I really thank you for taking time to write and check up on ‘Blood Roses,’ and for appreciating ‘Velvet Petals.’ I really did enjoy writing VP like I don’t think I’ve enjoyed writing any other fic, in all it’s absurd and thrilling baroque outrageousness. It’s a pretty big part of why I am writing a crime thriller right now, because of how complex it was and all the darkness and intrigue involved. I have a special soft spot for it, and it delights me that others do as well.

just some normal father-son time

I’m fucking screaming.

I was sort of irked that Ragnarok didn’t take the plunge of killing off Vidar right at the end of season one, but it turns out I badly needed to be at turns horrified and entertained and made sad by Laurits’ super major daddy issues, so I have made my peace with it.

I dunno how I feel about Ran and Vidar having an unexpectedly touching moment in episode 2. Feels wrong. Don’t like it. Too… nice.

But the interaction between Saxa and Magne at the diner?

“I thought you wanted to kill me.”

“Not today.”

THAT was excellent, and such a perfectly Saxa moment, I’m still giggling.

I just started in on Ragnarok S2 last night and all I will say presently is when Magne told illusion!Isolde that she was his only friend, it hurt every last one of my feelings. Rude.

Also I am hoping to go back to Western Norway this winter and I am debating making a day trip to Odda, because honestly the fjord surrounding it looks breathtaking and I kind of want to see it in reality.

If we’re still keeping up with stuff the OG SKAM cast is doing, Carl Martin Eggesbø (Eskild) just won the second season of “Kompani Lauritzen,” a sort of military-style reality/competition show… bit like Norwegian Survivor, but with an army twist? Good for him, because it looked tough as hell.

A lot going on here, so I will just settle for saying that shot of the window glass falling in the church, that is a gorgeous shot and Teresa looks absolutely stunning in it.
