Orpheus: Marco Eurydice: Polo Narrator: and they lived happily ever after

I got my birthday gift from @thebihashira.bsky.social today in the mail. I didn't know what to expect when he said he got me something. I once went on and on about how much I love this movie. Cut to me opening the package and just tearing up. Love that guy. Thanks, Mark. You're the best.

Those guayaba conchas were so good. I know my place.

Nope.

Alec bread > Lucas

She does this every few months. She'll get tired of her last game and start angling for a new one. It's funny that apparently it's now a "You and Alec" problem and not just me. There's not enough farming sims in the world to hold back the beast, though.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
I will never stop finding it hilarious that after all those years of me as a kid standing in front of those Walmart glass displays begging for a playstation game, I am now an adult and my grown mother is the one asking me for video games.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I reminded her that Alec has sent her a bunch of bread and he has been so kind. He doesn't need to be dragged into her farming video game addiction. She goes, "you're worth more than bread. You're worth bread AND a video game." That's my worth. Homemade Bread + 60 dollar video game = Lucas.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
My mom just called me to ask for the new Story of Seasons game. She goes, "I'm hoping you and Alec can put your hearts together and feel enough love for me to buy this old woman a new video game." "Why is Alec included in this conversation?" "I'm giving him my precious son. He must pay his dues."

That mewtwo one is crazy cool.

This year felt like a year around May. We're currently in the second or third year of this year.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I just tend to call you guys by your display names which just happen to be people's names often. I'll be like "Did you see Tek's post?" and he'll be like "Tek? Who is Tek? Oh you mean Wahaka" You're both Gale and Tek as far as I'm concerned.

Whenever I see your handle, the first word that pops up for me is Ford. I pretend your name is Ford. You're just built tough, I guess.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank youuu.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Before he fell asleep he said you'd get two whole breads for Christmas! Two!

Nooo Joey. Don't be sad. He's just sleepy and cranky. He gets so cranky as soon as it gets close to 9pm his time.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Want it to be soonerrrr.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Alec wouldn't plug things to his head, but I'm already freezing bullets midair and doing cool kicks with sick camera spins.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
That's literally us. The computer screen feels so much worse now that I know what it's like to be in the same room. I know too much now.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
Alec and I are like two separated little fishies and our computer screens are the edges of our tanks. We just swim toward each other and make kissy faces against the glass but can't actually reach other. It's very sad.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
There's an eyeball monster? Maybe I should start watching.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Happy birthday!

I would like to go on record saying that I've personally witnessed him nap with me own two eyes.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
Even though they showed him to us, we should all keep pretending we can't see him.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you! I did have a good day 😁 These old rickety bones are having the time best of times.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Ahahaha. I feel so loved and supported.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
The math checks out for me. We can round up, even.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
If this post gets 1 like from someone named Lucas, I'm gonna buy myself donuts.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
We did watch it! It was Alec's pick for movie night. I really liked it! It's a fun movie.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I didn't hear about this movie until like maybe early twenties. And all I know is that people love it and that somebody killed Inigo's father. That's it.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
Alec: "It's Mandy Patinkin's greatest role." Me: "Who does he play? The princess?" "No" "The bride?" "No" "The the!?" I know zero things about The Princess Bride.

I don't wanna be crispy :(

A single bottle of Da Bomb hot sauce being opened in Wisconsin would be a mass casualty event. I would survive it but the rest of the state wouldn't.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
I'd be so mad if I was a celebrity having to promote a project in this day and age. What do you mean I have to scald my entire throat eating some stupidly spicy hot sauce just to tell you all to go watch my movie? Why can't we just talk about it without me developing gastrointestinal issues?
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Didn't even die once. The time I got poisoned didn't count. The time I slipped off the cliff with the rain didn't count. The time I got stranded on a fiery rock and had no choice but to jump into lava didn't count. Didn't die once.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
Beat Peak on my first try. Didn't even die once.

Having a nice night listening to music, drinking wine, and talking to Alec. I'm a little drunk and the world is smiling at me.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you! I'll give it a listen to right now. I'm actually listening to music at the moment.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Whose side are you on, Insom!?
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
But you want the donut, right? Because I want a donut.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
So you're just going to bring this up on my birthday at my birthday party on my birthday over some birthday candy?
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
Thank you to all of you who took the time to say happy birthday. I went years without celebrating my birthday so this is actually the most people that have said happy birthday to me lol. I appreciate you all and if I ever meet any of you in real life, I'll buy you a donut or something.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you, Insomnom. I've been using the alien cat sticker you sent me as a bookmark btw. I love it.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you, Jorgito! Not you making me sound like a pillar of the community, though. Riot would be so proud of me. Love you, broski.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Oh hell yeah
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Aww. Thanks, Gav! Btw I like reading your letterboxd reviews about movies I've literally never heard of lol. If I open up that site, I always take a "what has Gav been watching?" moment.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Thank you, friend 😁
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I'm so glad we met, Mark. Gonna keep you around foreveerrrrr.

A happy birthday from my favorite person is all it takes to make it happy. Thank you, boyfriend. I'll take a billion kisses now.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
Happy birthday to me! This last year has been a great year for me in my personal life despite the ever-consuming fires outside. Fell in love, made a bunch of new friends, Carly Rae Jepsen announced new music, important stuff like that. I'm very happy I get to stick around. Here's to more.

Well I deal with insomnia so we might be able to balance each other out here.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Some nights my body will need melatonin + muscle relaxer to even begin to get comfortable enough to sleep. I'm impressed by anyone whose head can hit the pillow and they're out.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
At least that midlife crisis (if you can call it that) is useful. I was so bad at school that I don't think that route is for me, though. Good luck on your studies! Rooting for you! What are you in grad school for?
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
I didn't even get to read to Alec tonight. He literally fell asleep mid sentence and started snoring lmao. I envy this man's ability to just instantly be out and away from this world. Just want a fraction of his power.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
You got rhythm, Joey? You gonna shake those hips?
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
We should spread out our martial arts specialties for the Lucas batallion.

Bonus points? Overachiever midlife crisis.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I had a dream I was a kitten and you didn't save me from the tornado 🥺
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Idk that trains are my vibe. I'd probably recreate the entire street of Nightmare on Elm Street or something. You could open up the little houses to reveal entire scenes of people dying. It would be awesome.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
@alecisbaking.bsky.social See! You do qualify for having your midlife crisis.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
Is there an alternative to a midlife crisis that doesn't involve buying a sports car and dating someone half your age? I feel like I should start planning mine out now. Maybe I'll be boring and just get really into Zumba but in an aggressive way where I try to get you all to go to classes with me.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I know, Chris. I know you're there willingly. Believe me. I know.

Are you also bratty, Jason? Or are you just some kind of anarchy chaos demon? Guessing anarchy chaos demon.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
He has to be at work at like 5:30am and he can be cranky when he doesn't get enough sleep lol. Also don't encourage him! He has bratty tendencies.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
One more minute, Alejandro!
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes. 2 more minutes!
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I really enjoy found footage movies and bad horror so I'm basically the target audience for them lol. I've watched every single VHS movie and most of them are bad. I love them for it.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I really gotta start offering the pancakes after the bank robbery suggestion. Maybe I'll get more takers then 🤔.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I have played Repo! It's funny. I do enjoy that one. I have not played Peak yet. Some friends asked Alec and me to play with them sometime and we'll probably give it a go soon. I can't quite figure out the appeal from gameplay videos I've seen but it has so many good reviews. We'll see.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I will watch any VHS movie they decide to put out. I love them even when they're at their worst.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
We're getting another one! youtube.com/watch?v=l8XxoeV5LRU

I tried to get into that game but I just get bored lol. I really wanted to love it. I needed it to be more spooky.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I guessss. I probably can't pull a whole team together and come up with a plan that we can execute before Alec gets home and says no, anyway.

Listen, this isn't the first nor the last time I joke about robbing a bank. I just really like a heist moment, okay? Never your bank. Unless you're mad about the backflip off the roof in which case, yeah, fair. I definitely shouldn't do that one. No way I land it.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
No bank robbing? Man, you must really want to stay on Alec's Christmas list.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
is this before or after we rob a bank? Also the last witch I allowed to read tarot cards in my direction knew too much about my future so I'm gonna pass.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social)
Alec left to play D&D with friends for the night which means I am unsupervised and I'm free to break all rules. Who wants to join me in having pancakes for dinner or trying to do backflips off the roof or robbing a bank?
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
I'd like to add that although I'm a Mexican immigrant who had a wildly different upbringing from you, reading about your struggles with the way people view the way you speak and the pressures of societal expectations and judgments, I found a lot of common ground, and your words very comforting.
Lucas (@ljdomac.bsky.social) reply parent
My boyfriend slept through the majority of the book, which, in his case, is a compliment to your writing lol. As the person who was awake for the whole thing, I can say the entire book is a lovely, heartfelt piece of work. "Under the Pews" and "I'm Sorry, Chris" were my favorites. Great job.
