FAKE First Year Together: Justice (June) Chapter 30
Our main salt shaker, the one I use every day when I'm cooking, has gone missing and, even though he denies it, I'm pretty sure my husband has hidden it. He feels that salt is the food of the devil, you see, and is always trying to make me cook without it. After conducting a thorough search for the salt shaker, I realized I wasn't going to find it

Great chapter, Brit! I love seeing those small interactions between Dee and Ryo- Ryo being Ryo and chiding him about not recycling, and Dee being Dee and not wanting to make the effort. So couple-y! But I suppose they were like that even before they got together...
And we got Tahawney's POV for the first time! I wasn't expecting that. We're finally getting more of this mysterious guy's background story! All of the pieces are slowly coming together~
I really do wish Bikky would just tell Ryo about Tahawney and the laptop. I know it'll make the story more interesting and I'll probably really enjoy whatever crazy adventure he ends up having, but I can't help thinking, "Come on, Bikky! Don't be a stubborn idiot! Don't be messing around with this stuff- TELL YOUR DAD!! Guhhh~"
But of course, the best part of the chapter for me was the scene with Dee and Ted. I've been waiting for this conversation for ages! It was so exciting!! I loved seeing that side of Dee- it's not often that we get to see Dee backed into a corner! And we also got to see Dee's bad boy personality! Not the sexy one, the I-grew-up-on-the-streets-of-New-York one (though of course, that one is sexy too!) And because we usually only see Dee and Ryo's interactions from their perspective, it was exciting hearing about it from an outsider's perspective! We all know Ryo has a certain obsession with Dee's butt, but to think that he was being so obvious about it!! Hahaha~
So great!! Can't wait for the next one! That kitty website seems to have done the trick!

I'm not going to comment on Tahawney, as I have plans for him and I don't want to spoil the surprise. Believe it or not, I also wish that Bikky would tell Ryo about the laptop-- I know I would if I were in his place, but then I'm not Bikky. Bikky has grown up with an insane amount of freedom and independence as a result of not having a mom and barely being supervised by his drug-dealing/drug-using biological father. Ryo, who is so caught up in trying to be a good parent according to how society defines good parents, doesn't really understand this side of Bikky. It's very frustrating for Bikky. He gets grounded a lot and it's hard for him. He is rightly fearful that Ryo will spaz when he finds out what happened at the subway with the transit cop and Abernathy's hired muscle. What would any normal parent do if they learned all of that stuff about what their kid had been doing? Each day that Bikky doesn't tell Ryo makes it harder for him to say anything. I actually feel bad for Bikky.
Thank you so much for commenting! I so appreciate your support.

It makes me so happy to hear from you! I'm glad that I can help support you now in a way you can actually see, rather than just sending "Good luck! You can do it!" vibes your way, which is what I've been doing for the past several years! Haha~ It's still difficult for me to comment, both because it's difficult for me to put my thoughts into words and because my comment will be out there for the world (and you!) to see, but I'm trying!!
PS- And it is strange that your husband has that fixation with the salt. Is it a cultural thing?
PPS- I forgot to mention how much I loved your Sylvester analogy! It was such a perfect visual!! I could totally picture Dee walking down the hallway with that big grin on his face (and feathers sticking out of his mouth! *snicker*)

But my LJ is a relatively safe place. No one is allowed to be mean or disrespectful here. I'll delete their comments and tell them off if they do. Also, maybe I've just been lucky, but I seem to have only nice people coming here.
My husband is a health-fixated human being. He's always reading things about food and health on the Internet that scare him and then announcing that we shouldn't eat that anymore. What with mercury in fish, hormones in meat, estrogen in soy and genetic engineering of vegetables, I don't know what it's safe to eat anymore. Oh, and he's also down on wheat. I made him whole wheat pasta the other day and he complained that it was 'unhealthy'!
Ryo would be annoyed if he heard the Sylvester analogy because that would make him Tweety.

Oh my God. Stop inspiring me with such weird ideas! xD
Argh, too late. Now I already posted some Tweety-Ryo and Sylvester-Dee pics on my journal. Ryo will not be pleased. But I hope you are because it's all your fault! xD
