But what about mythical detective Loki?

obviously superior to all of them because he’s a magical boy

epaulettes replied to your post: there hasnt been enough Bones yet in the lead up…

Did this anon get lost? Anon, come to my blog, we can talk Bones (and Kirk/McCoy, if you’re into that) all you like.

they sent another message but i get really weirded out by anons and don’t like to post things from them.

psa: i am much likelier to respond to non-anon asks, you guys. i assume all anons are creepers, i can’t help it, i am paranoid. i won’t hate you if i know your username! i am friendly!

for the record, if we’re dating and your childhood friend comes back into your life and forces you to start or join some sort of competitive club with her, i will probably dump you on the spot because i am not fighting some fated anime plot bullshit, hoping she’ll go for the other childhood friend or whatever

sorry

i just pulled this card out of my wallet that says:

hello, my name is caitlin.
if found, please return to williamsburg
weaknesses: megane (translator’s note: “megane” means “glasses”), beautiful dramatic crazy girls, girls kicking ass, pretty boys dealing with high pressure parents, classical Japanese culture, threesomes, rivalries, poems

it’s becoming clear to me that i should not have watched this anime

happy birthday, elizabeth!

i didn’t make you a nice post (besides that one on monday), so all i’m giving you this year is a divorce and the knowledge that i missed you a lot tonight because i really wanted to cuddle.

A VERY IMPORTANT POST

Elizabeth and I were first facebook-married in 2008, at the start of our sophomore year. It’s odd - it seems like we barely knew each other then, having spent our first year being livejournal friends and then awkwardly quiet real life anime friends, but Marissa threw us together in real life.

We had many good times from the start of our marriage - practically living together (when she was obviously cheating on me with Mar, it’s fine, it’s okay, I couldn’t give her the non-sexy cuddles she needed, I am only capable of sexy cuddles), leading each other into new fandom depths of shame, sharing terrible boys love anime, and probably having real life adventures at some point when I could drag Elizabeth out of bed. Beautiful days of carefree youth.

But alas, this marriage, like all celebrity marriages, must come to an end. We stayed together for the kids for a long time, but now I must admit that we have lost that SPARK, that special SOMETHING that really makes internet marriages work. Was it because she was swallowed whole by Glee fandom? Was it because I started working and no longer had time for all night gchat sessions? Was it because she kind of ships Kirk/Bones, probably just to spite me? Was it because of that time I made her watch Code Geass and she never recovered?

Those are all possibilities! But no, all wrong. In fact, it is because I am going to SCHOOL and because we are ABOUT TO BE TWENTY FOUR and it’s no longer acceptable, in my mind, to have a fake facebook marriage when we’re now at a reasonable age for REAL MARRIAGES (VOMIT) and also I don’t want people asking about my wife when I go to school.

I approached her about a divorce and she consented, but I felt bad, especially because her birthday is this week. So here is a beautiful tribute post that I’ve been working on for an entire half hour. ;_; So long, Elizabeth, and thanks for all the online and real life cuddles (and I hope they continue in an extramarital fashion *eyebrow waggle*.)

PHOTOS:

1. Our marriage date!

2. OUR FIRST EVER MEETING, ON HILLARY’S LIVEJOURNAL. (Elizabeth is search_soleil, I am splintercat, look at how proactive I was!)

This screencap was PHYSICALLY PAINFUL TO RETRIEVE. I had to read over several of Hillary’s old entries, which were cute and great, but then I had to read the comments, INCLUDING MY OWN, and they were unbearable, oh my god.

3. Our Wedding Photo. She gave me a mentos. This was at the first CUSFS meeting of the year, sophomore year!

4. When Elizabeth took me home to meet all her friends who would become my friends once they recognized how much cooler I am than everyone they’d ever met.

5. A typical evening, I’m crying and frightened, she’s aggressively cuddling and calling my name. I made this for her when I was watching Natsume Yuujinchou (this anime, her favorite, now also my favorite) in Kyoto in 2010! an ocean between us but still so much love ;_;

6. What I pretend our time living together was like. Being cool. Eating fancy meals at Atlantic City hotspots. Orgy piles with our sexy roommates.

7. What it actually was like. Me on my phone, her playing with Mar, Bieber watching over us. Sad reality, but you can see why we need to get divorced. It was inevitable.

SO GOOD BYE, FACEBOOK MARRIAGE OF ALMOST FIVE YEARS. Longest relationship I’ve ever had by… almost five years.
