The day before, actually! Sansukh’s birthday is 24th June, and the Dwarfling was born on the 25th. Very suspicious. Both Cancerian. Hmm.

*crawls back to tumblr, clutching glass of wine in one hand*
The bags under my eyes have their own bags. I am so so tired. But I have survived hosting the Dwarfling’s very first birthday party! YESSS.

IT’S SANSUKHS BIRTHDAY WEEEEE
Sansukh’s 2nd birthday! Dwarfling’s 1st birthday! ALL THE BIRTHDAAAAYS!
so, I will be a bit MIA over the next few days – we have a party planned for our bub on Saturday, and the family begins trickling in as of tonight! I haven’t been cleaning frantically or anything hahahahaha *gulp*
I am super-sorry to those whose asks I have sitting here: I will get to them on Sunday night Aussie time, most probably! I apologise profusely for the delay. *smooches*
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Sansukh, happy birthday toooo youuuuu! I’m rereading and just noticed it’s exactly two years since the first chapter was posted! 🎵 And many mooooore🎶
OH MY GOODNESS
Do you know, the Dwarfling turns 1 tomorrow? So they’re almost a year apart in age!
MY CHILDRENS
WHOA, LOTSA MESSAGES. okay, incoming answer-spam, sorry all!
I’ve just been out and about trying to find a childcare arrangement for when I go back to work. Wheeeee. 🙂
The tag to block, if you’re not into seeing all my answers, is ‘sansukh reactions.’
*smooches*
The Trouble Troupe once made off with a massive quiche and some juice and disappeared for an entire day. They were found that night in a closet. They finished the quiche.
AWWWW HAHAHA
(this is reminding me of the time my nanna mixed up the words ‘creche’ and ‘quiche’ = she asked me, regarding the Dwarfling: “Are you going to put her in a quiche?” I COULD NOT STOP GIGGLING)
nnnnnghshdfglajsdhflashfa I just sent off my first job application in a year.
Bye bye, maternity leave. dreading putting the Dwarfling into care, even for two days a week, omfg I WILL CRY
*bites nails down to the quick*
(also I have a gigajillion asks in my inbox today!!!! I will try to get through em all, please bear with meeee)
Sleepy Sansukh dads with sleepy babies. That is all.
You are trying to destroy me with cuteness, you have discovered my weakness and it is FLUFF.
(fun fact – when the Dwarfling was a tiny smushfaced newbie, she would curl up on my chest or on Mr Dets’ chest and sleep there. I’d wrap my dressing gown around us both and watch telly. It is probably the most peaceful time of my entire life ❤ )
Gloin with a baby or grand baby in a sling. Poor little mite is mostly hidden by epic beard.

(so i might actually think that Mr Dets with our bub in a sling on his chest is the cutest thing that has ever or will ever happen, this headcanon is my kryptonite i stg)
~is on anon due to shyness~ i’ve got 2 questions hun: 1- who is the dwarfling? I don’t follow. 2- I REALLY LOVE SANSUKH and there might be a chance I’ll be working as a translator someday, and I do realise you have like, a little team of people who organise the podfic and stuff, so I really wanted to know if anyone’s already volunteered to translate Sansukh and side-fics to portuguese. If not, well, I volunteer…
Hey Nonnie! Don’t be shy, I am a tiny dork lady in a big fuzzy red dressing gown.
1. The Dwarfling is the online nickname somebody (can’t remember who? Might have been either notanightlight or flukeoffate, who are both amazeballs and wonderful) gave to my baby. I let on that I was pregnant last year, when I was about 13-14 weeks along. And within seconds the name ‘Dwarfling’ had been pinned on my bub, and so there we go!
(She is nearly a year old now! Her first birthday is the end of this month. She can crawl and cruise and ‘high-five!’ and we have ‘HI!’ complete with a little wave for a first word. She is entirely beautiful and wonderful and a brave, curious, clever, loving little soul. I am prouder of her than I can ever say.)
2. Wow! That’s an amazing offer, Nonnie! I am so so grateful and HECK – so excited! I will very thankfully take you up on that offer, if that’s okay by you – there are translations into Italian and Chinese thus far, but not Portuguese!
