oh my god who's that ๐
the people yearn for the story and who am i to deny them. first off here's the whole shirt:
now for the actual story: as some of you might know, i work gallifrey one which is a pretty famous doctor who convention. the reason i work gallifrey one is because my mom has been working it since before i can remember
another fun fact about me is that my birthday is about a month after the convention. so every year, my mom buys me a ticket to an evening reception meet & greet with the guests
it just so happens that this year, my childhood celebrity crush is one of the guests. this is maybe the second ever gallifrey he's attended and i am stoked to finally meet him. he's kind and he's funny and he's... kind of hitting it off with my mom?? but that's totally normal, my mom is super charismatic and can't help but make friends
so i go back to my con shift and move on with my life cause it's not like it really matters
and then the con staff afterparty rolls around and he shows up. and it turns out my mom specifically invited him. but i'm sure it's fine, we've had guests come to the staff party before. so i get a little drunk partying and try very hard to not think about the fact that he has spent the entire night at my mom's side
so it's all totally cool and i definitely won't need to think about it later
and then we're in the car, driving home from con. and my mom says "i have something to tell you". so i reply "yeah mom?". and she starts with "if it makes you uncomfortable, i'll stop", which is never a good sign. and then she says "i've started a relationship with someone who is technically closer to your age than mine"
and i freeze, because we've been at con all weekend. so it HAS to be someone she met at con. so i look her dead in the eyes and ask:
"mom. did you sleep with tommy knight?"
and she lets out the biggest sigh i have ever heard from her before responding:
"yeah"
