@yesterdaychild @soph_sol ha yes thats understandable! and big water bottles definitely work also, though perhaps slightly less cozy for morning lie ins

@soph_sol @yesterdaychild well, i have a bedside table with a coaster on it which helps bc i’m not just stuck holding the cup until i’m finished, i can put it down somewhere safe/clean if i need my hands or to move or something

also i have a pretty small teapot (200ml) and only drink green teas/oolong which i don’t add anything to so like, the potential damage if i *do* spill a partially drunk cup is pretty low

But ymmv of course, i spend enough time in bed that if i didn’t compromise a bit on beverages i’d end up pretty dehydrated which definitely incentivizes normalizing them more than i might otherwise haha

@yesterdaychild @soph_sol i’ve gotten in to cultivating the joy of eating breakfast and then taking ones tea/coffee back to bed in part due to this exact issue

@twistylittlepassages i hope you enjoy!

rebel jesus may either hit particularly well or particularly poorly depending on the exact brand of christmas disillusionment you’ve got going on….everything else i think the track titles are pretty explanatory as to the vibes

@twistylittlepassages i think this year may be the one which tips me fully into “disillusioned” rather than merely “mixed” about Christmas but the Cheiftans Bells Of Dublin album is still on the good list for me

@ljwrites @clarfonthey the some third version was the one that my brain spontaneously produced when i read it, for what thats worth

@asya oh nooo

@kiesa haha yes that is how i try to start more or less all of my cooking

@ljwrites i hope you find it bc that sounds like q fascinating essay!

@pixelcats @yesterdaychild @MondayMarionJ @tikistitch @GQB i’m looking forward to it! 💜💜💜

@MondayMarionJ @GQB @tikistitch @pixelcats @yesterdaychild haha yes definitely more emotional this time around! Maybe even more than 4x because not just are all four of them enlisting at once but it means *everyone* will be gone for a bit

@yesterdaychild @pixelcats @GQB @tikistitch @MondayMarionJ yeah my memory was also that Jin’s enlistment was pretty quiet (and also p much 100% of army spaces I was seeing were like “yeah Jin said not to go so the correct thing to do is to leave the whole ceremony alone” both before/after). It’s actually part of why I was surprised by how much more talk there is about going/showing support this time, because I thought we’d come to a consensus during Jin’s enlistment about how to handle it?

@yesterdaychild @pixelcats @GQB @tikistitch @MondayMarionJ yeah in a general sense it's not to different from other ways in which fans try to show support for artists they like and ensure they're successful--streaming a ton so songs will chart, voting in award shows, etc. And I've definitely thought some of the fanprojects for Idols' birthdays etc have been very cool!

But I do wish that when Hybe / the idols themselves were explicitly like 'this is personal, not a fan thing', fandom took that a little more seriously—I guess I feel like personally part of supporting an artist is letting them have their privacy about some things

@bright_helpings yay for showering!! And for being able to get to the bathroom and back without it being a whole Event, too
