Finding a Soul Mate
@Roady_Dragonfae I have some... Thoughts about the "soul mate" thing, which are pretty extensive and boil down to: I hurt a lot of people and burned a lot of bridges looking for a SM, but it took me almost two decades and a Moment Of Truth to realize that the person I thought I'd "settled for" was really my soul mate after all. sometimes, a soul mate is *made*, not *discovered*.

brownies are in the oven, if the bit of batter I snacked on is any indication they should be LOVELY.
incidentally using a baseball bat as a rolling pin to crush candy canes in the kitchen is kind of a metaphor for my life, I think, somehow. or at least I really want it to be. XD

Just was reminded of the existence of T. Kingfisher's "Sun, Moon, Dust", which is a happy-making short story for me.

(It has kindness, which is one of many things I like about Goblin Emperor. And it also plays with an annoying fantasy trope in a way that I appreciate. Also, potatoes.)
I get my pronouns from the pronoun flea market
yeah sometimes you get knockoff pirated pronouns with weird translations that bug out after a week
but you can also find amazing vintage pronouns with minor scuff damage for a dollar
and fun stuff, like a big bundle of neon-rainbow-colored pronouns that you can give to friends at parties
@Elizafox I dunno if "normal" but I sure do it a lot. I have to either look up a reference that gives the year or try to count back, sometimes by "how long did we live in x house? okay, how long did we live in y house? did I have z job at the time?" milestones, and those are usually way off. :P
@adeptomega @literorrery the Pronoun Commons, where any citizen can bring their pronouns to graze, sometimes arranging swaps or cross-breeds
similar to today's Pronoun Park, where citizens bring their pronouns to play together
