Boyf: I am sorry I can't buy you [super specific expensive thing from fantasy series I sometimes daydream about ]
Me: That's okay. As you aren't ~actually a 1,000~ year old Vampire. I don't expect you have 1,000 year old Vampire Money.
Boyf: .. well - not yet.
Me .. ๐ค ? *
[* I don't know if he was referring to the Vampire or the Ultra Rich part of the equation, and honestly I'd take either as long as the package is wrapped in Him!. ]
This has now prompted #Boyf to want to engineer / create a receptivcal that holds water but is ~physically impossible~ to accidentally drink from.
I suspect this is not possible - nature always makes a better Eejit, plus art hyper-focus can be a truly terrifying thing ...
News that I am sure you were all aware of, I'm an Art Eejit. Okay so, I can admit when I'm wrong and I was *wrong* about #watercolour paints. I was just using them wrong, on the wrong kind of paper and uhm being very impatient ? ๐คท๐ฟโโ๏ธ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ BUT - the zero chance of me accidentally drinking paint water has now sprung up to being somewhat- inevitable - in - the - future. ๐๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ
Things which don't sound weird in your head but do said out loud:
me: So My Mum recently reconnected with her Best Friend- who she fell out with years ago, because the Friend became a Prophet and started a Cult - the Cult disbanded so they can be Friends again ..
Boyf: Thank you for the context
Me: Wait. That sounds unconventional, now I've said it. Is that Weird?
Boyf: We are not Journal People
:: Record scratch ::
Me: Aren't 'We' ? Because I Very. Much. Am.
Cue long conversation about the definition of what a 'Journal' is and what colloquially 'Journalling' means and also what connotations are attached to being a 'Journal Person'.
Turns out we meant quite different things but we're using the same terms..
Again - English Is Not Fit For Purpose.
Me: What's that quote ? "On a long enough timeline..
Boyf: .. everything you've ever saved will become useful" ?
Me: I love you deeply, but no, I was thinking of the line from Fight Club..
Boyf: Oh - yes. "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero."
But I prefer my version! I really want the usefulness one on a t-shirt.
#Book reccs please!
Beloved #Boyf has encountered the term 'Cosy Fantasy' and would like to try a few books.
For ref he says he's sick of unrelenting GrimDark, one of his favourite fantasy films is Hawk The Slayer BUT he is not above giggling at some of the more STOOPID elements of early (and let's be honest current) Warhammer 40K lore.
We already know about Legends & Lattes.
Also I don't think he cares about romance / spice but did enjoy the Wheel of Time TV series :)
#Boyf knows me so well.
Two of My lovely #Valentine's gifts
Photo : An enamel pin of a red rose and a Fabric Patch for Starfleet Academy: Sciences Division
Although on reflection I am probably more suited to Ops than the Sciences ๐๐ค๐ค
Nerd Love - early Valentine's present to me from #Boyf 2026
Photo: Front cover of Doctor #Who Official Annual featuring Nctui Gatwa as The Doctor
There was ~a lot wrong~ with this era of Doctor Who, but none of it was Nctui's fault. His Doctor was still fabulous *despite* .. everything.
:Groceries are deliverd, including some new highlighter pens, which I placed on bottom stair to take upstairs .. eventually:
Me: :searches for pens:
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY HIGHLIGHTER PENS !?
#Boyf: ๐ You snooze you loose.
Me: :Rolls up sleeves:
Sir. Thems Fightin' Words.
Especially about MY #STATIONARY !
Boyf: I ... Your ~accusatory tone~ led me to an ill advised joke. I took them upstairs for you.
Me: ๐ OK. Don't you go buying me stationary and then snatching it back. I'll cry. ๐ฅน
