You cannot kill me in a way that matters

My parents died the same night that I did. They had the funeral while I was still dead too. My aunt from out of town arranged it after they found my body later on, in the fridge. I don't... remember much. I'm kind of glad. I don't think I want to remember that night. But everything else, even from before then, feels different too.

I don't think they told my aunt that I'm not dead anymore? Did anyone tell her?

How do you tell someone that?

My boyfriend's trying to be supportive. I'm not making it easy, I know. I'm not trying hard enough to get back to who I used to be.

There were times before I died when I would sit in front of the mirror and it felt like a stranger was looking back at me. Everything was just so hollow. I thought I wanted to die. But it would always pass. Usually my mom or someone would come and get me and drag me back, and I'd be myself again. That lucky girl.

Who the hell was she?

I didn't want to die. Dying was awful. I just didn't want to keep living like that. That girl. She had to die.

That can't be right. My life was good. I miss my parents so much, I'm not relieved that they're gone? Only a monster would feel that way.

But nothing fills it. Definitely not the salads, but I don't want the double cheeseburger either. I just don't know what it could be.

That's a lie.

There's definitely something wrong with me. I wish it felt more like it was wrong with me, and not like something clicking into place. I know what I want but if I do go get it, what then? What if I get caught? Even if I don't, it's not like I can keep going that way.

Maybe it's just... once. Maybe it's a resurrection thing. So much freaky stuff happens in this town and no one ever seems to know how it all works, right? Who's to say? It could just be a one time deal, and then I'll be satisfied, and no one will ever have to know.

Oh god. I don't think I'm ever going back to normal. Normal people don't sneak out to the cemetery in the dead of night and dig up their parents graves and... and...

It had to be them, though. For the first time I think, anyway. So that I could keep a part of them. So that I could still be with them in a way. So that I could sink my teeth into them and rip them apart and carve out what was inside because that needed to happen.

I loved my parents. I did. I do. I'm not a monster. I'm not.

Oh god oh god he asked about... he knows about... that...?

He... didn't tell anyone?

Something's wrong. He's being weirdly cool about all of this. There's no possible way that he doesn't have a problem with it. I'm eating human corpses. Everyone would have a problem with that unless they're fucked up.

He might be fucked up actually. Now that I'm thinking about it.

Not that I can exactly throw stones.

Oh he's a vampire.

Only if you specify in the contract that the demon can't use chat-GPT

That's every novel. That happens to me any time I manage to get more than four hours' sleep at once.

ice water is awesome because you get more water in your water

you think youre out of water but then you check back in five minutes and woah! theres more water! the world is so beautiful

locked in on levels previously unknown to man (writing fanfic on the treadmill)

it's good that I will never be a dog breeder, bc I would make the elephant dog. long borzoi snout, chunky pitbull body, ears of a papillon

used to think it terribly silly (and kinda funny) when fantasy or sci-fi stories would have people refer to major recent historical events as The Flood or The Incident or The Revolution, and im sure historians fucking hate that because it's not helpful or descriptive, but we sure do be calling it The Pandemic

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

Hell yeah moon holiday

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY

moon day is 20th July!!!

Scheduling this a day earlier to remind you all and myself about the Moon Day tomorow!

I scheduled this in 2025 to give you all a week to make Moon Day Monday preparations! I think I will order a little rocket cake or bake some moon phase cookies!

It's coming, cousins. ...This could be as big as March 15th if we made it that way...

the unholy drink cloaca strikes again
