Fairyland will forever be my favourite series of all time. That’s it, that’s all. Goodnight. @catvalente

PDFs look a little different now as the result of a security change! 📔 New fonts and different page break placement as well as increased file sizes are the most notable changes.

Totoro tells his young son Calcifer

HOLD STILL AND LET ME LOVE YOU, YOU ARE DISGUSTING

[Catherynne M. Valente @catvalente]

Why, yes, Mother, that is a full size iPad and I AM suspiciously large for a 14-week old.

Also, I HAVE THE MADNESS. MY MIND IS BEES AND SCREAMING AND THEN MORE BEES.

So a few months ago the youngs staying with me over the summer & some friends & I ran all over the island in the middle of the night in the rain singing & acting like wild kids & it was amazing & I said something I felt kind of actually mattered

The sign I had made arrived today

[Catherynne M. Valente @catvalente]

I got B a rock tumbler for their 5th birthday.

I explained what is was, how it would turn the dull rocks into shiny jewels

Bastian stared at the rocks for a long time. Very intently

Then quietly said:

“When they’re shiny I’m gonna trade these jewels to a raven for friendship”

Just wanted to let everyone know that #Hugo voting ends on Saturday the 30th, and if you wanted to consider The Difference Between Love and Time and Osmo Unknown (for the Lodestar) that would be amazing.

May I formally present Mr. Calcifer Kenough Valente, aged 11 weeks.

His interests are: me, being on top of me at all times, riding on my shoulder, sleeping across my neck like a shawl, apparating himself INSIDE a wall (still can’t figure out how) fighting objects & snuggling.

[She-Rage, Princess of Pain @ClaireMax]

Don’t worry baby, Mama K’s got you.

Karlach makeup test! 🔥 these horns are getting replaced with a more accurate pair, but I did figure out how to attach them at least. And the contacts are comfy!

Next step: sculpting prosthetics for the scars and infernal engine!

@catvalente Mallow!!

[Catherynne M. Valente @catvalente]

Yeah, so…

This is happening. In a few days. Half Maine Coon who stole all the MC genes from his siblings.

Taking name suggestions. Leaders currently are Mallow, Hamlet, and Kenough

@catvalente Update: Mama's name is October (Toby). She has the LOUDEST purr!

[teeniebert 🐀 @teeniebert]

@catvalente it’ll be a month or so before we can bring her home, but this is Blunderbuss. Adopting her mama (who hasn’t told us her name yet) as well. 😻

@catvalente "You're annoying the story!" His way of viewing the world is a DELIGHT.

[Catherynne M. Valente @catvalente]

Almost-5-year-old is reading a book about space out loud to me.

I interrupt to share a cool space fact because that, you know, entirely my space…jam.

“MAMA! MAMA BE QUIET! MAMA YOU HAVE TO BE QUIET YOU’RE ANNOYING THE STORY!!!”

[Kingfisher & Wombat @UrsulaV]

Go ahead bro, create a program that starts random sentences with “Last RT:” and thinks humans express sympathy with the letter F or “RIP to your Grandma but I’m different.” I wanna see you pour billions into it and watch it land like a Cybertruck.

[Kingfisher & Wombat @UrsulaV]

It’s DND night!

PALADIN: Let’s die gloriously!
MONK: Do we have to?
PALADIN: Death is optional. Glory is not.

[Kingfisher & Wombat @UrsulaV]

@VincaMinor42 No, this one is just me leaping screaming into the folktale void.

[Catherynne M. Valente @catvalente]

I just found out Christopher Lloyd was 47 when Back to the Future came out, 46 when it was filmed, and I gotta be honest I was not emotionally ready to face that I’m only three years younger than noted cryptkeeper DOC FUCKING BROWN tonight okay
