the sheer animal relief of not being motivated to write any fic for several years for unclear reasons (okay, fine, the child probably had something to do with it) and then just ripping out nine thousand words in twenty-seven hours like it's 2014 again

For all my Northern Hemisphere friends: the sun has come down south and we are enjoying it very much! It’s not quite tomato planting-out time yet but my shallots went in at midwinter and are well on their way to a midsummer harvest around the Pākehā New Year.
As I get very close to the end of my pregnancy it's made me think a lot about gender and how important it is to me, as a cis person, to still be actively choosing gendered things for myself. In general, I have enjoyed being pregnant and at this stage I would totally be up for doing it again. But every time someone has said something to me about how "beautiful and natural" it is or how it made them feel like they were "doing what they were supposed to be doing" it fills me with cold dread. I refuse to let motherhood be something I should do, or some sort of inevitability in my life. It is attractive to me when it is a choice and a thing I can learn - because that also means I get to have agency in which bits of it I perform and how and when, and that I have the chance to get better at it, if things don't come easily. Even when it's hard (and sometimes it has been, and I am certain it will continue to be once this baby is out) it's not a burden when it's a choice.
And I think that's one of the most poisonous things about gender essentialism. It takes away the joy of deciding to do gendered things and embracing how they fit into your personal experience of gender, and makes them things that have to be endured whether you like them or not. It's just a depressing way for everybody to live.
We have just moved from an Objectively Small house to an Objectively Large house (like, 'has a formal living room and a regular living room' large) and while I do feel a lot of sympathy for my cat whose life has been upended with no explanation she can understand, the way she has taken to piteously meowling every hour or so when she realises she has LOST TRACK OF HER HUMANS YET AGAIN is, actually, pretty funny
I am going to be pretty absent around here for a while but I am sure you will all agree my excuse is excellent, as well as objectively beautiful:

Are you and seventh-light doing well?
We are! The baby is turning out to be quite a babbler which I suppose is not surprising given two parents who are both prone to Words. Also making exciting new discoveries like Having Two Hands Which Can Touch Each Other. I am making exciting discoveries like "how many chores that can't easily be done with the baby in a carrier can I do while he naps". Genuinely cannot believe it has been three months already
some of you may have noticed that this Tumblr has been a bit quieter lately apart from the queue. all I can say is that there is A Lot going on at Chez Sixthlight this year because 2022 is *gestures vaguely and despairingly* but possibly the most notable and even positive Lot is that I have been busy gestating a baby, which is now (this was not always the case) probably guaranteed to arrive in four months or so. I do not anticipate this is going to be a frequent topic of conversation but, you know, it's definitely going to be There
Things that have happened this week:
my last week at work
[redacted household difficulties]
[redacted pregnancy difficulties]
an enormous fucking cyclone, effects still being catalogued
a non-damaging but large and scary earthquake
I would like to request that everything just...stop, please and thank you
