mad_tea_partyHello everyone. So this is actually a non-fandom related check in. The end of the year is near and I am excited to report that despite deaths, anniversaries of deaths, and some major health issues among my family and friends, this year hasn't been nearly as bad as it could have been.
My sperm donor (not literally, but the title "father" doesn't belong to him) passed away this year. I am sad in the "he gave me life and we did have some good times early on" kind of way, but overly, I've been okay with that.
Teal has been dealing with chronic urinary issues. We finally got it handled, but it was scary there for a while because not only did my neighbor's one cat die due to Urinary issues, that's how we lost Tardar Sauce, too. She
The biggest thing to happen this year happened at the end of August, and that was Power Morphicon. I Still say that despite the emotions and the drama that occurred, that vacation was the best I've had in a while. I don't know how I could ever express to the different actors I met at the convention how important and healing it was to meet them.
I've spent the rest of the year getting to know other characters in the franchise and developing soul bonding relationships. The strongest one, if you haven't guessed already, has been Ziggy. There's just...something about that character. It's not just how adorable he is (and let's face it, he's damn near precious), it's how he handles the world around him. Even when the others were being cynical, he was the bright light. He even managed to break down barriers with Dr. K (arguably more closed off than Dillon). But as a soul bond, outside of his series, he's been a nice little anchor. Making sure I take care of myself even I'm stressed and would rather not.
The thing about Ziggy is that he doesn't have much in the way of a jealous streak. Which means that when Trip showed up a few months ago, they doubled down on me taking care of myself with Trip knowing exactly how I'm feeling and when I've lost sleep. They drive me crazy. Sometimes, though, Ziggy will defer to Trip when I'm having a really bad day. (especially if his shadow puppets don't work... and they don't always work, contrary to what I write in fanfic...lol).
