I don't know how this fic packs so much into such a relatively small word count, but it really does, I absolutely love it

I also think that part of the appeal of this kind of project is watching the person do it gradually lose their mind over the course of it, but I think you'd just be fine 😂

just absolutely HOWLED with laughter at this, oh no 😂

I do enjoy how committed they apparently are to NOT explaining their whole deal unless absolutely necessary 😂

011

usuallyhats @usuallyhats.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

listen, getting to the end and looping back to s1 to exclaim about what BABIES they all are is an important part of the experience 😂 Oh no! Hopefully not too long to wait at this point though

oh yay, welcome! It was nice seeing your name in my kudos email yesterday, didn't realise you'd only just watched it! Are you planning on watching seasons 8-10 too? My perpetual rewatch has just hit s8 and it's SO GOOD

(I cannot rearrange delivery of my new phone to a day when I will be there, because I can't receive verification codes, and I also won't be able to receive the new phone when it does arrive, because I can't receive the pin they've texted me)

I have been phoneless for less than 24 hours and my conclusion is that two factor authentication needs to die in a fire

usuallyhats @usuallyhats.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

today my phone died due in part due to getting a bit lake-y yesterday (it was six years old and starting to go the way of all flesh even pre-lake), BUT I did get to see the eclipse from the same lake with some of my absolute favourite people, so overall a very good day

Many problems experienced yesterday but @alwaystheocean.bsky.social is an absolute HERO of driving who got us all to the Lakes safe and sound despite it all <3
