HIM!!!! Getting to meet Steve yesterday was so so so good, I was absolutely shitting bricks but he was so sweet (he said I looked fab AHHHHH) and I ended up with a photo I actually like for once!! Had to do a retake though cos my glasses had some awful glare so they told me to look down a bit and then my friends the chins were in attendance so it came out awful lolsob. So thankful for the retake oh my god (also the reason I don't have my glasses on here haha)

I would have loved to get an autograph too, but I knew I'd want to buy shit from the con and with Perfect Circle on Thursday it wouldn't have been a good idea. It was an absolute pleasure to get to meet up with everyone as well, we had so much fun (and made a new friend) , so even though I'm now flaring up enough that I can't go to the con again today, I'm still happy because yesterday stevecon was so good. Genuinely the best time I've had at a con in a decade? We saw a bunch more stage/fright cosplayers too which was really cool! Two Hugos and one other Goudron, super fun! Ofc we got photos which I will have to retrieve from whoever has them haha

GENUINELY ONE OF THE BEST GIGS I'VE BEEN TO IN A LONG LONG TIME!!! Incredible energy, non stop banger after banger. Full, sold out stadium belting out the classics, getting to be closest I've been to a pit in over a decade because I was stood up leaning against my chair (no choice cos every single person stood up the second SOAD came on 🥲) but wowww oh my god.

QOTSA were also very very good, but they suffered from playing to a huge stadium with lots of people chattering, so the sound was a bit muffled and muddy (and couldn't tell a word Josh was saying between songs lmao). I'm not particularly fussed about this however because I've seen them a bunch of times already!

i was tagged by @dangerliesbeforeyou to do this accent challenge, which was very fun and i've not done anything like this in foreverrr!

so onwards we go - funnily enough i pronounce rather more Ts in the reading out separate words section, which is entirely because i'm sort of used to trying to articulate them a bit more when speaking to make things clearer (too many phone conversations where people don't understand what i'm sayingldfghfg). the true yorkshire glottal stop is a lot more evident when i'm reading out the passage haha

questions are below the cut, and i'm supposed to tag people but at this point i've totally lost track of who all's been tagged already! so no-pressure tagging @eemamminy-art @the-inconvenient-ideal @wintersoulwitch @autisticwriterblog @mutantenfisch @canyouliftmeup @artificial0wl and anyone else who might wanna do it!
