turpsMy youngest niece turned 6 today, so we've been to hers to drop off her gifts. It was one of her days at school so we didn't get to see her, but did see fannish niece and my youngest nephew. He's grown so much since we last saw him a few months ago, four-year-olds really do change fast and already he seems so much more grown-up.
Other than that it was a case of a quick chat with my MiL and FiL and then home as it was pouring down, and has been since yesterday afternoon. Of course, that means the roof is leaking in the porch again, thankfully not as bad as it could due to the direction of the rain, but it's a job we need to get done.
June Something now.
What is something you consider headcanon that was never truly resolved in canon?
I'm sort of blurring the lines here about canon, but I will forever believe that the Summer of Like has elements of truth. Not to the extent that's shown in fic, and probably not even sexually, but something. A summer where Pete and Mikey were joined at the hip and emotionally propped each other up with distractions and running away from the world when they were both pretty fucked in the head and facing futures and fame that were about to blow up.
Waterparks, dedications in songs, deleted posts on social media, an intense friendship that eased down into twitter convos and occasional public meetings, green tea kit kats and pool boys and above all, sweet little dudes always.
Hello, my name is Terri and I will accept my tin hat now while listening to Bang the Doldrums on repeat.
But yeah, we'll never know what went on exactly, and I don't think we need to know really. I'm just glad that, so many years later, they still appear to be friends, even if in a publicly distant way.

Yeah there absolutely was something there. What we’ll probably never know for sure but something

We won't ever find out, you're right about that. But it's still nice to see that their friendship was rocksolid over that summer.

Of course there was something going on!! I totally support your tin-hatting! *polishes own tin hat while thinking of Gerard & Bert*

Date: 2020-06-14 05:42 pm (UTC)No, they don't get better themselves. I really do think it'll be an easy fix, but I need to find someone who can get on the roof to do that fic. Because despite it only being a floor up, I won't be doing it.
Yes! I also support your tin-hatting!
