My dad is now out of the ICU. He’s in a step-down unit. He’s breathing on his own, eating, sitting up, and he even walked a few steps with some help from my brother. I guess they’re going to put him in a pulmonary rehab in a couple of days. Hopefully they’ll get him back on his feet and he’ll be much better than he was before this happened. 

Thank you to all the anons who sent me messages and the friends who reached out with kind words and comfort. I can’t even begin to tell you how much it means to me. I’ve said before that this blog saved my life because it led to me meeting so many people who are just the best. I know this fandom is a mess sometimes but a lot of good really does come out of it. The emotional support and love you all give, the way people rally around others who are hurting- it’s beautiful. Great! Now I’m gonna cry. I really do love you guys. 

My dad is off the ventilator and breathing on his own. It’s such a relief. Thank you to everyone who sent good thoughts and kind words. I love you all so much. 

I just wanted to let you all know that my dad is really sick. He’s been in the hospital on a ventilator since Friday. They’re taking him off of it today so I’m heading back to the hospital and hoping for best. If all goes well, I’ll be back around later.

Jeez, I feel so totally out of the loop after being just on mobile all weekend. But I’m back at my computer and ready to get back into it. I’m going to make some gifs today. I workshopped the wincest caption that has been making me crazy for months with the rest of the wincest crew that was at the con and I think we finally got it. YAY. I was so frustrated. At some point, I’m going to post pics from this weekend all in one post so I don’t spam you. If you don’t want to see it, blacklist #candiatminncon. If you were in any of my pictures and you really don’t want me posting them or you don’t want me to name you so you can stay anonymous on here, please let me know. 

Up first are two very special con gifsets involving my friends and the gold panel then it’s on to general stuff or any requests you want to send me. 

I also have to start putting my house back together at some point today. I found mittens and scarves in the bathtub. There are littlest pet shop toys in the fridge. There was a peach in the toilet upstairs. A WHOLE PEACH. Why? Michael did a great job taking care of the kids and keeping this place running but it kinda feels like there was one hell of a party going on here while I was gone. So if I don’t answer messages until tomorrow, you’ll know why. 

My husband is at home while I’m here at MinnCon. He really wants my tumblr password so he can post some stuff on here. It would probably be funny, possibly very dirty. He has no idea how to tag or anything. This might be great, might be a disaster.

Okay, I’m going to give it to him. Let’s see what he does. Let’s see if he can even figure out how to use it. What the heck.

You haven’t done any J2 captions for a while. If you or your husband thinks of something cute, we’d love to see it.

I know! I need to do wincest captions too. I have 2 requests for scenes that I’ve been working on mentally for over a month. The problem is that I’m so damn nervous about MinnCon and flying to Minneapolis that I’m having a hard time concentrating. I’m not scared of flying but I haven’t been on a plane since high school and I’m terrified that I’m going to do something dumb and end up missing my flight. I’ll work on it today. I promise. Maybe it’ll help take my mind off my issues. 

Noooooooo, the fact they are brothers is what roots everything between them and makes it so fantastic! I would be so upset if it turned out they weren’t brothers and it was all just some dream.

Yeah, I know that. But the fact that my husband just blurted out that entire thing like he’s been thinking about it for literal YEARS made me laugh so much that I had to share it. Now I just want to know what other AUs he’s got floating around in his head. 

Okay. I just noticed that I somehow managed to unfollow some of my favorite blogs. I don’t know how that happened. If we were mutuals and I recently unfollowed, please let me know. It was NOT deliberate. Either I clicked the unfollow when I meant to click like while looking at a post on your blog or it’s a weird tumblr bug.
