My total sleep for the past two days is like eight hours but I regret none of my choices
I am probably the most chilled out of us all
It is amazing to me that even wearing a BN Staff ball cap, people thought I had a GREAT costume.
It is more amazing to me that someone stopped me to compliment my accent. It took me a good thirty seconds to realize they weren’t digging my midwestern speech patterns, but instead thought I was a dude doing a British accent.
But most amazing is that only one photo of me made it onto the corporate facebook so far, and it is absolutely the very best picture

AHAHAA I was like Wow I am TRANSFORMED, I am a new confident person, but then it’s time to text it’s it’s like. NOPE I’M STILL THE SAME ME.

omg what a precious sempai I am adding to the blessings rn
I wish I could like, send her flowers but I don’t even know her name. SHE IS SUCH A KIND SOUL DOING THE GOOD WORK.
Also I’m happy to have such a cute story for this. AND I’M HAPPY THE WLW COMMUNITY HAS SUCH GOOD PEOPLE

congratulations on the verification of Gay 😀
I would like to extend a special thank you to the older butch at the bar who was just like “okay I see nervous eye contact happening I’m going to TELL THEM TO DANCE TOGETHER”
Verified Gay
Got a text from my boss like, if you buy robes for the HP thing tomorrow we’ll expense the cost
and like, a) expensing a costume is frivolous and b) IT WOULD BE SO HOT I MAY LITERALLY DIE. I NEARLY DIE IN JUST A BUTTON DOWN RIGHT NOW.
me watching anything ever: okay but what if this situation was the premise of a lesbian romcom
I’m going to elaborate on my own LESBIANS MEETING THE PARENTS tags because SERIOUSLY THERE ARE SO MANY WAYS TO PLAY IT
- Gendered expectations get WONKY, I mean, standard romcom family pressure is on the guy, but there is no guy
- EVERYONE WANTS THEIR DAUGHTERS TREATED RIGHT. BUT WHAT? BOTH PARTIES ARE SOMEONE’S DAUGHTER? SHOCKING.
- Protectiveness can get skewed around a bit, especially if the one they’re protecting THEIR PRECIOUS DAUGHTER against is feminine
- throw me a bone and have a butch with a protective sister, THE USUAL HURT HER I HURT YOU SHTICK BUT WITH MORE INTERESTING PLAYERS
- REALLY ANY PRESENTATION COMBINATION HAS ITS OWN EXPECTATIONS AND WAYS TO PLAY WITH THEM THAT VARY SO MUCH DEPENDING ON THE PEOPLE
- I mean I’ve not been anywhere near meet-the-family stage but I say I like a girl with short hair my mom and sister lament that we’d look too much alike, and the more feminine a girl is, generally the better their response; families have weird quirks like that that are kiiiiind of shitty but ultimately just mildly annoying background noise, depending on how ~dramatic~ you want to get you could ramp it up (femme invisibility vs. butch ““manliness”“ vs. how weird people can get with wlw who fall between/outside of those presentation categories)
- there’s also just the fact that every family handles their gay kids differently, and even with two ladies with accepting families, there are going to be adjustments and accidental missteps
- also I mean if we want a ~special gay moment~ one lady stands up for the other for something shitty the other’s family has been doing, I think this is a bit of a trend but it is a trend I LOVE, I cry every time
- THE PREP. One so nervous, looking her best and trying SO HARD. Practicing her greeting in the mirror because she REALLY LOVES her girlfriend and wants to do this right
- (I’m imagining a butch there. Ironing her clothes and debating the merit of wearing a blazer, making sure to have flowers and chocolates for the parents and siblings and even getting a nice little plush toy for her gf’s niece/nephew, still worrying it’s all not enough)
- (BUT ANYONE WORKS. Especially since so many wlw have so many worries about how people perceive them)
- AND THERE IS ALSO JUST THE NORMAL MEETING THE FAMILY SHENANIGANS, SOMEONE BREAKS AN HEIRLOOM, SOMEONE DOESN’T GET ALONG WITH SOMEONE ELSE FOR REASONS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RESOLVED. THERE IS LOTS OF LOVE AND KISSES AND CUDDLING BETWEEN THE COUPLE
