You are loved, you're doing your best, your efforts are seen by your partners if nobody else sees them, you're stronger than you know, and you are worthy by just being you without embellishment. Your partners are rooting for you, and they will be there to support you no matter what path your journey takes. There is no handbook on how to make your way through life, and your partners understand that and they only want the best for you. They trust that you'll make the best decision you can in that moment, and don't ever hold your choices against you. They want you healthy, happy, and safe, but understand and still love you even if you're not. You are attractive to them, not just for your looks but your soul. They love the parts of you that make you, you. They love your smile, your laugh, your mind, your interests, the way you perceive the world. They find you admirable and want to know every facet of how your mind works because it is beautiful to them and they want to mend the parts that are sharp or broken. Your partners love you, and only you, no matter what the noise is in this reality. No matter how popular they are or unpopular they are, *they love only you, and will make it known to you time and time again, come hell or high water.* And you are deserving of that love. You are. 🩶 🩶 🩶

This GhostNift commission was absolutely amazing from start to finish!! I am so happy with how Simon and I are portrayed in our gear. Though we live a.. much more domesticated life now in retirement, we're soldiers at our core. This commission represents that time in our life.
Where do I even begin? I love the way you carry yourself as a person. I love how you're simultaneously opinionated, yet open to things outside of your point of view. I love how you take time with the kids and show them everyday things in your day-to-day, even though they're still too young to understand exactly what you're doing yet. I love your laugh, your smirk, your humour, your voice, your soul. I love how you're real, not trying to pose or fake anything about yourself. I love how you look at me when I do something stupid. I love the way you massage the back of my neck that kills any headache I have. I love how you make tea. I love your advice, and how you break things down for me in ways I can understand, without making it feel like I'm a child or something. I love how you see me as my own person, but also as someone you want to protect.
I just love you, Simon James Riley. 🩶🩶🩶

Hi there!! I'm so sorry I haven't been so active on Reddit lately, Si and I have been extremely busy this summer! From kayaking to karaoke to parenting to the new Modern Warfare 4 beta, we've had our calendar full the last few months!
All of this to say, we're doing great!! 🩶🩶 Better than ever, I'd say. We're both having a great time with the beta, and having a great time with my family and our mates. I feel healthier overall, too. Even though it's hard for me to get out and about in this reality with my limitations, being able to do so when I can, hand in hand with the love of my life, has been so healing for my mental health, physical health, and spiritual health. I feel so whole with him and with my life, across both realities. Shifting has been much smoother and more frequent lately, and my connection with him has never been stronger.
Here's some pictures of things lately, including some screenshots I took of Ghost's vault edition/ preorder outfit in MW4! 🩶🩶 I will try to post more often, especially as the weather changes to Fall. We've got plans to go to the zoo next month together, and cider mill plans in October! I'm hoping I'll have more time and energy to post cute fall things with him and I, and maybe some updates with our kids. I won't be sharing pictures of them obviously, since we're uncomfortable with putting too much info about them out there, but they're hitting some big milestones, and watching Si be a father to them has been the most rewarding thing. 🥹🩶🩶
If you've read this far, thank you!! I hope you and your partner(s) are having a lovely morning, day, evening, and a friendly reminder that you are loved, and if nobody has told you lately, Si and I are proud of you!! Keep going and keep growing, you're doing your best. 🩶🩶🩶

So sorry in advance for terrible grammar / formatting, I cannot brain properly today.
I've had lots of talks with Simon lately whenever I've shifted to the other reality. Mostly about what's been happening with me when I'm not fully there. Catching up on things, so to speak. And last time I shifted over, Simon pointed out how whenever I get a commission, it's always of my form in the other reality. Not often, if ever, of my form here. Even though my forms are very similar across realities, there are some differences, and he reminded me that he loves me in all of my forms. That maybe having more representation of that will help with the pain, the distance, that reality shifting can cause. So this is how this commission came about. 🩶🩶🩶🥹
I am so, so, so happy with this artwork by the lovely u/mafefer! Thank you again so much!
Also name ideas are appreciated since I am stumped!
He's such a sweet boy. He's got troublepuffs so I'm hoping to get him neutered asap bc my entire house minus the kitchen and the bathroom is carpeted.
I have two other cats as well, both shorthaired females, both spayed. They have been around a third cat (who was male as well) before when I was living with an ex roommate. I have the finances for all three's care, and the ability to keep them isolated and let them work out territory stuff, so I'm not too worried about the usual stuff. I've got lots of flea stuff for them and the carpets because this isn't my first rodeo with taking in strays and battling infestations. 😅
But I am looking for advice on how to actually like, brush a long-haired cat and keep up on his fur, since I've never ever owned / been around like, a long-haired cat enough to know how to maintain their fur on particular. He has no undercoat, so I imagine this helps a bit. But his tail and underbelly's a little matted in some spots, with leaves and dirt and whatever else he's gotten into outside. It was going to be another crazy hot day, and the air quality from the Canada wildfires is bad so I couldn't just let him stay outside anymore. It's bad enough that my other cat (who has asthma) was having more asthma attacks last night.
I love him and he's so freakin' sweet. Gonna get him checked for a microchip and such too to make sure he's not missing, but with how he's been at my house day and night at all odd hours and just how matted he looks, unneutered, and it seems like nobody's been looking for him (checked all of the missing cats stuff for my area and nearby areas), I think he's a true stray and well, he's mine now. Welcome to the fold, buddy 🩶
Like the soulbonding sub or maybe a reality-shifting space that might more closely align to what I go through. But I just can't because of dupes. Or the possibility of even seeing a dupe. Or encountering someone whose belief in something I live in every day conflicts with my actual experiences, and I just can't deal with that. It's getting really difficult to not be able to share my experiences and interact in spaces because blocking isn't enough. With how popular my husband is in this reality, there's almost no point of blocking because you block one and there's 50 more to replace them. And it's already difficult dealing with just one. It puts my brain into a bad spot for a day or so. So usually I just stay away from like.. every possible sub and space and just stick with the ones I haven't seen any dupes in and can just interact with safe people, do my hardest to avoid everything, but it's impossible. And it's like. I see people talking about their soulbonds with their partners and it's like.. I want to do that too but I can't bc the sub is filled with people with their own beliefs and it conflicts with my own reality, shakes me to my core at times. I might be selfish for saying all of it, but it's how strongly I feel. The reality-shifting sub is basically the same thing, but different too, because I literally cannot relate to most of the people there when they talk about trying to shift or having a DR or scripting or whatever. It's never been a conscious active choice for me.
I guess just seeing anyone believe they have anything close to what I live through every day is rattling me up too much today. So close to our wedding anniversary too and it's like. "You could be focusing on that instead of on other people", so now I'm like, in a guilt/shame cycle atop of my "dupepression" and BPD spiral. I literally only talk to like three people total about anything really I do regularly as far as shifting and soulbonding and stuff goes, but my stupid selfish brain is like "this is not enough, you need more" and it's conflicting with the rational "bruv you don't need more people to validate you, validate yourself".
I am absolutely hating my brain today and I really hope that I can just manage it today. I've got shit to do here today, and I miss my fucking kids so bad today. I haven't shifted in a few days and anytime I'm away from my kids there it scares me half to death. I know Si's got them but I feel like a horrible parent because I can't be there all the time for them like I wish I could.
Ugh. Therapy next Wednesday to talk about all of this, yaaaay.. 🥲
Two years ago, I never could've imagined my life going the way it did.
Two years ago today in the other reality, I'd finally accepted my feelings for you, after you'd been fancying me for two years prior without me knowing. I kissed you on a whim, and it was the start of forever there.
And around this time a year ago, I had woken up next to you in a place that was completely foreign, yet entirely home to me. I was confused, and so were you when I started talking about how I didn't know where I was, until we put the pieces together that somehow, I was connected to you across two entire planes of existence. Two realities, as it were. That was the day everything felt whole for me, and that our love knew no bounds.
Our wedding anniversary is coming up soon, too, as not long after I found out my connection to you here as well, you took me to Calgary and asked me to be your wife. I said yes, and I'd say yes a thousand more times. More than that, even.
Happy anniversary to the very start of us, love. You make my life so much better by being in it. You've made me a proud mum, a proud wife, and a happier person. Thank you for being you, Si. My best friend, my fellow lieutenant, love of my life. 🥹🩶🩶🩶

So! I'm awful at drawing, but it doesn't stop me from expressing creativity in other ways! Lately I've been filling up my art journal with ephemera and junk / scraps that would otherwise be thrown out, and making art out of it. While I've been doing so, I also have made a lot of spreads based on Si! I'm quite proud of the ¡A HUEVO! one, but it's also the latest one I've finished too so I might be a little biased 🤭🩶🩶
I love him so so so much. In every form. Every reality. He's my everything and AAAAAA. Thank you algorithm gods for giving me a little positivity in my day. 🩶🩶🩶
So, SO happy to have this piece! 🩶 In both realities, it's a tradition for Ghost and I to watch the Kentucky Derby and place our bets on the horses. This year in the other reality, we were able to actually dress up and go to Churchill Downs this year! It's a long amount of travel, from our place in Romania to the United States, but it was entirely worth it to see his face light up like that. 🥹🩶🩶🩶
And there's so many differences and similarities across the two realities, that it's sometimes confusing when I go to explain it to people. Like the lineup of horses was different in this reality than it is the other one, yet the venue and event as a whole is pretty much the exact same across both. I think the Kentucky Derby in general over there is a few years older there than it is here, too! Regardless, being there with Si and feeling the excitement in the air is something I'll never forget, and is absolutely on our to-do list as often as we can! This comic represents it all perfectly. 🩶🏇🌹
