I don’t think that’s true, at least from my perspective! I think she is for sure immature but she’s a teenager--from where I’m sitting, Squall is so emotionally stunted, he’s been ‘orphaned’ and raised as a mercenary and even though people along the way have clearly sincerely cared for him, he has not had an easy time…

Literally I will. I don’t even like dogs and I will take that little dog and love him forever. Ugh I’m so sad.

I just realized that the first street my husband and I cohabited on is the same name as my first name. Probably for the best that I kept my last name!

I haven’t met him but I saw him perform in Milwaukee a few years ago and he totally made that joke at the end of his set. Best part of the show.

I’ve been really enjoying these articles as somebody who does a ton of cosplay. It’s kind of funny, I’ve built several fully vacuumformed suits of armor that I built the blanks for and vacformed myself but I straight up do not think I would have the patience to follow instructions down to the rivet type!

I choose to believe my grandma and your great-gma are creeping together in the afterlife. My grandma had pretty severe dementia but she was absolutely hilarious. Whenever we’d take her to a restaurant and the waiter asked what she wanted, every single time: “A MAN. I WOULD LIKE A MAN.” Oh, grandma!

Indigo Bananas is my favorite polish brand of all time, highly recommend!

I could totally take her in MY StarCraft cosplay! I’m in the middle. :D ...or most likely we’d both just kinda lumber slowly towards each other, haha.

I am literally enraged on your behalf

I somehow manage to never make any of these lists so here is my GenCon cosplay group from this year anyway! I’m the Lich Queen with an acolyte and my bros Patchwerk and a Val’Kyr. :D

I was going to say Silent Hall but it turns out that’s fucking terrifying!

Chiseling away at a costume of the Lich King from Warcraft! I got some serious work done

You’re doing good work in this post.

I actually got invited to a shower just like this very recently and I’m pretty sure the bride doesn’t know, urgh. I def cast a bit of shade but I’m letting it slide in my particular instance because the bride has recently suffered a really terrible family loss so it’s also possible that organizing/having an in-person…

Oh sure, I know. But man, I’m a cisgender woman and I have no fucking idea what my chromosomes are like. Who knows, maybe I’m a SECRET DUDE. I have no idea why anybody’s chromosomes should matter to anybody else and yet it always seems to come up in this kind of conversation.

Officially giggling at my desk like a crazy person

What do you mean by physically female? Because most of the shit you’re thinking of is legit pretty fucking covered by surgery and hormones.

Aaaa I love it! That is fantastic.

I’m working on a Lich Queen Arthas costume from WarCraft! I finished the helmet last weekend and now I’m starting in on the leg armor.

This totally happened at my school too!! A teacher would go around with a cardboard tube from a paper towel and push people farther apart, all “Leave room for Jesus!” So weird.
