Clutched my chest dramatically and flopped onto my desk
GUYS. GUYS. I KNOW I SAID NO MORE AUTHOR NOTE CHAPTERS BUT— screamed into my Stitch plushie I NEED TO PROCESS THIS TRAUMA WITH PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND!
WHAT. WAS. THAT. MOVIE?!
Flailed arms wildly, accidentally sending several pencils flying from my messy bun
WHERE WAS THE HEART? WHERE WAS THE SOUL? WHERE WAS THE BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE ABOUT FOUND FAMILY AND ACCEPTANCE AND "OHANA MEANS FAMILY AND FAMILY MEANS NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND OR FORGOTTEN"?!
Grabbed my coffee mug with shaking hands, took a fortifying sip
I sat there in the theater, watching them just... just... MASSACRE my beautiful boy! Do you know what I did after? We went straight home, grabbed Lycoris by his perfectly pressed collar, and announced we're doing a marathon. ALL OF IT. The original movie, the sequel, Stitch Has a Glitch, Leroy & Stitch, AND the entire series!
Pointed accusingly at the screen
He tried to escape. Said something about "next chapter" and "proper sleep schedules." HA! There is no escape from this emotional recovery mission!
Paused, suddenly remembering something that made me bounce excitedly in my chair
OH! But I can't stay mad because YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! clutched chest SEVEN HUNDRED COLLECTIONS! SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND VIEWS! SIX HUNDRED AND FIFTY POWERSTONES!
Wiped away actual tears with my Stitch sleeve
Your comments and reviews literally make me cry happy tears into my morning coffee. Every time someone catches one of our little easter eggs or theorizes about what's coming next, I do this weird little dance that makes Lycoris face get so cute. You're all so incredibly precious and I want to hug each and every one of you!
Glanced at clock
Speaking of which, I should have a new chapter ready tomorrow! Probably somewhere between "Lilo teaches Stitch about Elvis" and "Stitch crashes the hover car" because THAT'S PROPER STITCH CONTENT!
Suddenly looked thoughtful
Though we really do need our own catchphrase, don't we? "Plus Ultra" is
already taken... tapped chin with pen Maybe something about butterflies? Or chaos? Or beautiful disasters?
Lycoris called out from the other room about the next episode starting
OH! Gotta go! Keep being amazing, my beautiful readers! Your support means everything and— gasped dramaticallyWAIT, IS THAT DAVID ON SCREEN? THE PROPER DAVID?!
Scrambled to get up, nearly tripping over my own feet
Love you all! Stay chaotic! We'll figure out that catchphrase thing later!
Wisteria 🦋✨
P.S. Lycoris says hi! Well, actually he sighed deeply and muttered something about "Xavier needs to talk to his mother" but I CHOOSE to interpret that as hi!
