#btw I have 1829 notes

[cha1cedony]

I was just looking through my Notes app and remembered I wrote down this dream I had a couple of days ago. I fixed the grammar because it was mostly incoherent due to my writing it at 5:27 am. Hope you enjoy

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #btw I have 1829 notes #curious if anyone has more than me because my IRLs are always shocked by it #also it’s worth noting the tiger was smacking its lips happily after drinking the milk #and it took up like half of the dream #felt like it lasted forever #hope this is what the next episode is like 😍 lmao #I only have one other crazy DnDads dream I wrote down in liiiike December 2022? maybe I’ll reblog with that one too #but it’s even more confusing. it involved Alvin and the Chipmunks if I recall

Blog recap post for 2017

Or whatever it was that I’ve been calling these.

It’s been kind of a quiet year for me, I haven’t done as much as usual. Some general notes first: I’ve been in two readalongs this year but didn’t finish either of them. The first one being the new Brick readalong and the other one the Count of Monte Cristo one. I really do want to finish the latter at some point! (For the record I’m leaving my CoMC posts out of this list because I’m a bit lazy but you can check the CoMC17 tag if you’re interested.)

I’ve also still more or less kept the Les Mis group watch going although it’s been a bit more difficult this year because we kinda ran out of adaptations that already had subtitles and because I’ve been busier on weekends lately. I already posted about it earlier.

I made a back up blog which I should definitely update again one of these days: https://vapausystavyystasaarvo.wordpress.com

Anyway, onto the posts! (apologies for the length, I’m kind of trying to prove to myself that I’ve been productive this year despite the major slump I’ve been having for the last few months, so I ended up including a lot of stuff that probably isn’t really worth including)
