birthdaaaay (not mine)
mcwonthelottery's birthday is tomorrow! I gave her things today!
>
The cake came out better than I feared but not as good as I hoped. But that is some fucking intricate wallpaper, so I think I did an okay job, in the long run.
Wheeeee!

Now I'm tired. And craving non-sugar. And not looking forward to work tomorrow because anxiety. Wheeee :(

Here is a conversation I had with littledust last night:
pocky_slash: I can't remember how this scene was supposed to end.
littledust: make up a new ending?
pocky_slash: Argh, brain function.
littledust: the worst.
oh god, the mental image of tiny Scott announcing, "I'm gonna marry Jean just like you're gonna marry Darwin!"
pocky_slash: UGH I WANNA DIE OF CUTE
littledust: IT'S TOO MUCH I CAN'T HANDLE IT
pocky_slash: I feel like Erik just expects that kind of respect from the kids, but Charles is charmed by it every time.
Charles is always beaming when they act like being surrounded by every homosexual in 1963 is normal and fine, and Erik is like, "Why do you praise them for having human decency?"
Because, for Erik, after living through the shit he's lived through, he's adopted a kind of, "Yes, this is me, and you will fucking respect that or I will punch you in the face" mentality.
Whereas Charles is still wrapped up in the presentation that's necessary for ~*society*~ and shit.
And they fight over this sometimes, still, but it's the sort of fights that end when Jean's all sniffly and like, "I wish you wouldn't fight, it makes me sad, you should just love each other."
And they both immediately feel like shit (though they still, of course, both believe they're right) and hug Jean and tell her they're sorry but of COURSE they love each other. But you don't always have to agree with the people you love.
12:32 AM
And Jean's all curled up on Charles' lap with her arms around his neck and Erik's stroking her back and Charles is saying, "You know how Scott likes vanilla ice cream best and you like chocolate? You still love him, even though you think vanilla's boring, don't you?"
And she nods and Charles assures her it's the same thing, even though the things that grown-ups fight about are a little different than the things that kids fight about. And she makes them both promise not to fight and they make the promise even though they know they can't keep it, because, Charles explains later, once Jean's gone back out to play with the other kids and he and Erik are left to curl up on the couch and apologize to each other with kisses, the essence of the promise is that they'll never put more weight in a fight than they put in their desire to love each other and be together.
and that's a promise that Charles really can't imagine breaking and he's pretty sure Erik feels the same way.
The end.
littledust: X-FAMILY. :( :( :( :( THIS IS WHY THE X-MEN WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE OF ALL COMICS THINGS.
ldfjk;safja the seriousness of the chocolate vs. vanilla debate
pocky_slash: IT'S VERY IMPORTANT. And THANKFULLY Charles takes it seriously because ALEX just laughed at her.
littledust: oh man, they won't be able to debate cavemen vs. astronauts for another few years, really.
pocky_slash: omgggggg
Someone immediately needst o write the X-kids and Chuck and Erik watching the moon landing.
littledust: I KNOW RIGHT
Raven is like FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CHARLES, WE KNOW YOU LIKE SCIENCE CAN WE JUST WATCH THE BROADCAST.
