So what did YOU do last Friday? I watched my daughter graduate.
I am unwell.
Don't get me wrong! I am so proud of her. I know she'll take whatever she wants to do with her life and knock it out of the park. (Right now, the plan is to study Early Childhood Ed and teach preschool.)
But that's my only baby. She's out of high school now. She turns 18 in two months.
It's very hard to wrap my head around. On the one hand, I am so excited for her! On the other, she's growing up.
So yeah, that's where I am.
The State of the Kris, Things Are Changing and I Hate It Edition
First of all, the writing part can be summed up thusly:
lol
I haven't done ANY writing like I said I was going to. I wanted to finish up a couple of loose series but it's really hard for me to write for Tom now that he is engaged and maybe married to Zendaya (how reliable a source is Law Roach, anyhow?). I had a couple of ideas but I haven't gotten them out of the pipeline yet. They're just sort of stuck in there. Clogging up the works.
Last week your internet dad and I celebrated our 24th wedding anniversary. We celebrated by making reservations for a fancy dinner, getting to the restaurant, and immediately leaving because my body chose that moment to decide it had food poisoning from poorly cooked whatever I had at lunch. Sigh. We've gotten the thing rescheduled, but man.
Oh, and I had to have a tooth pulled two weeks ago. the short version is, did you know that if you bite something weirdly enough you can fracture the root of your tooth?! I didn't either! But now I am down a tooth and get to get a replacement very soon.
The big thing is: You guys remember Allyson, right? My daughter? Little, cute, sweet? Yeah, she got her license three months ago and graduates from high school next week. WHAT
After HS plans include going to the local community college for two years to get her associates degree and then transferring to a four-year school after. She'll be majoring in Early Childhood Education and hopes to teach preschool someday. She's currently working at a McDonald's but is trying to get on at a daycare someplace.
Barbara and Rosie are still dogs.
So that's that! Once grad season is over I'll be much more accessible, I think. I hope. Ha!
A very important PSA.
I haven't posted much at ALL lately. I've got some stuff in the works, 2026 is going to be my comeback year I think.
Anyway, I am going to be completely serious for just a few minutes here.
On November 9 of this year, the house my niece lived in with her mom and stepdad burned down. (My niece was staying with her dad - my brother - at the time). Her mom and stepdad weren't home. But her grandmother and four-year-old half-brother sadly didn't make it out. Neither did their four indoor cats.
The fire inspector said the fire was most likely caused by a faulty surge protector. I did not know this until the fire, but: surge protectors break down after 3-5 years. So now Marcy (my niece's mom) has made it her life's mission to educate people on this. I am going to do my best to help.
You should replace your surge protectors if:
You know for a fact that you've had them longer than five years
You actually don't know how long you've had it ("A while" is not going to cut it, i'm afraid)
It feels warm to the touch
If it's dusty, loose, cracked, or discolored
If you have it plugged into one (or more) other surge protectors
If you have a high-draw appliance (space heater, refrigerator, etc.) plugged into it
My advice:
Replace any surge protector you've had longer than 3 years. You can replace them all to be safe, but if you aren't in a position to do that just replace the oldest one and go from there.
Use only surge protectors that are UL-listed
Don't plug a bunch of high-draw appliances into them. I try to play it safe and plug big appliances directly into a wall outlet, but if that's not an option try to do so as safely as you can.
Margie and Sawyer were my niece's entire world. Please, please, please do me a favor and check your surge protectors.
Now back to your regularly scheduled tomfoolery
SEDATE MEEEEE
SHIRT IS OPPPEEENNNN
Breaking out of my unintentional hiatus to bring you THIS
Changbin is my bias. Before you get any ideas, this has been the case for four entire years.
I am not okay and will not be for several days. I feel like when guys in old times saw bare ankles for the first time.
That was all. Carry on.

Some of us really need to be doing āFinish That Fanfic We Havenāt Updated in a Year Novemberā š
Reblogging again because I got an anon last week whining cause they did this to one of my unfinished series and the bot killed Y/N so now they want ME to give them a happy ending. Like. No. Suffer, bitch.
AI is the death of creativity. Anyone who does this to my stories and is stupid enough to brag about it will be blocked from ever reading my work again, AND I'll let everyone on tumblr know that you do this. We'll see how much fic you get to enjoy when every author blocks you forever.
Fic is a gift. I've said it before. Don't shit all over your lovingly handcrafted gifts, m'kay? This should be fucking obvious, but apparently for some of you it's not.
If anyone does this to me, I'm going to delete the story
I won't hesitate
If anyone does
this to me, Iām going to
delete the story
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I KNOW!!! Me and my unfinished crap.
Don't finish it for me, and CERTAINLY don't let AI finish it for me. I'll get to it. Maybe. Who knows, really
At any rate, just do NOT lest I invite you to jump up your own ass and die
An announcement to announce what probably doesn't need announcing.
I'm not super-great at sugarcoating (it's a blessing and a curse, really). So I will just get right to it:
I've kind of quit writing.
I honestly thought I would have more time to write when I quit my job four years ago. The opposite is true. I've had a major case of writer's block that I have just decided to lean into. Plus you know. Family life and other responsibilities.
(Quick family update: Ben is thriving at his job, Allyson got her learner's permit last week and will be learning how to drive soon, and the dogs are insane as usual.)
Plus I know I said I didn't do it for the likes and the reblogs, but the last couple of things I've posted haven't gotten many notes. So, there's that part of it. But mostly I kind of churned out a lot and burned myself out.
Also, my personal rule is that I don't write fics about people who have known significant others, and once Tom and Z started dating, there went my inspiration. I'm happy for them, I am! They're adorable together. But I just don't feel right writing about him anymore.
Is this blog going anywhere? No. I will leave it as is, so you guys can still read everything.
Am I going to finish those series I'm in the middle of? We'll see about that lol
What about your inbox? I'm not taking requests but I always appreciate a nice message or theory or whatever you want.
Will I write again? Who knows, really.
Still into Stray Kids? ROCKSTAR IS OUT ON STREAMING GO STREAM IT YOUR INTERNET MOTHER SAID SO. Also, Cover Me is absolutely gorgeous so if you only listen to one song from Rockstar make it that one.
Bias? Seo Changbin. He's so beefy. I love him.
Bias wrecker? Kim Seungmin seems to be intent on gunning for that spot lately
Anyway, this has gone on long enough, so I'll let you get back to the enjoyment of your lives.
Also, tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the States, so happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate.
On a final note, has Timothee Chalamet always been hilarious? He was on FIRE on SNL a couple of weeks ago.
Apple announced the whole M3 SoC family at once and upgraded its 14 and 16 inch MacBook Pro models along with the sad, neglected iMac
This is turning into less of a fic blog and more of a PLEASE READ THESE COMPUTER HARDWARE ARTICLES YOUR E-DAD WROTE

You must be out of your mind if you think for one second Iām going out there. Iāve seen enough slasher movies to know that when a brother goes out to the woods, he doesnāt even sorta come back. Happy Tuesday the 17th!
Your internet dad would like you to see this.
Kids, your internet mother is perturbed. PERTURBED.
And naturally, itās all because of JYP.
Heās the worst!! But the Stays keep forgiving him.
The thing with Woojin. Does not matter what side of that youāre on, it never should have happened. (Me, Iām glad he left.)
The bullying allegations re: Hyunjin, and how he disappeared for months on a āhiatusā. For allegations that turned out to be false!!
The constant threats to the Kidsā safety. Being mobbed at airports, online threats, the anti that tried to blind Felix with a laser pointer. What.
And yet we forgave all that, and more.
Then, when we had nothing left to giveā¦he came for Chanās Room.
HE TOOK AWAY CHANāS ROOM.
THATāS A ONCE A WEEK TREAT!
I love my Kids, and Iām proud to be a Stay, but good lord JYP is working my last good nerve.
Iām sorry, I just needed to rant. Iām mad!!
DO BETTER JYP
This, and going to Orlando and coming home with sunburn and tennis elbow, is what I've been doing instead of writing. (Also there's a new Stray Kids album out. So.)
Anyway, we love handsome and goofy British dudes here, as if my DOZENS of Tom Holland fics didn't prove that. I love Ted Lasso and I love Phil Dunster. And I LOVE how worked up he gets over grammar.
I also was thrown by his real accent, not the super-thick Mancunian accent he uses for Jamie Tartt.
The point is this: Hi. Still alive. Not actively writing much right now. Got some stuff in the works though. And watch Ted Lasso. I'm halfway through s3 right now and I love it so much.

Isn't your lovely tom feton a transphobe
...no?
You may have him confused with JK Rowling. I have no idea how you all do that, but weirder things have happened.
Life Tips from Your Pal Kris
This wisdom Iām imparting comes to you at the amazing price of freeĀ so enjoy it!
- Donāt speed. if you do, try not to speed in front of a school that has been shut down. Because the cops will tell you it is still a school zone even though itās no longer operating. Then you get to wait three weeks to go to traffic court, where youāll sit for an hour to talk to the traffic court lawyer for five minutes before they determine you have to pay the stupid thing anyway.
- Make sure your chicken wings are thoroughly cooked. Do not believe Benjamin when he says,Ā āthey LOOKED done so I took them out.ā Put them back in for another minute. Or seventeen, just to be on the safe side. In related news I am pretty much over my bout with food poisoning.Ā
- Girl Scout cookies are out!! Get yourself a box of Thin Mints, put them in the freezer for a couple of hours, and then eat. Trust me.
- If you havenāt written any fic in a long time, do not apologize. Life happens, itās understandable.Ā
- If a fic author you like hasnāt written any fic in a long time, donāt bother them! Theyāre either dealing with life happening, or writersā block, or an uneven combination of the two.
- Parts of How I Met Your Mother do not hold up, but Young Jason Segel can still get it. This is not a life tip as much as an observation.
- Movies are expensive. Pirate that shit. I normally donāt condone crime but do we really want to help pay for some sleazeball Hollywood producerās new jet? No.
Anyway. Have a great day.Ā
EDIT: PICTURES LIKE THIS MEAN YOUR INTERNET MOM IS NOT OKAY. PLEASE CHECK ON HER.
