Yes I am! God how long has this been here 🤣🙈 Sorry! It's been a while since I did one but yes I could! What did you have in mind?

Hey all!

Long time no see, I hope you're all doing well 😊

I just came to let you all know I've opened a Tellonym account, because it seemed like fun 😆 So you can find me on there!

Also follow me on Facebook, Victoria Bates or @meitonapalace, or Instagram under coldphoenixirl, coldphoenixcosplay and meitonapalace.

Hopefully see you all soon! Xxx

Waiting at school this morning, it was one of the parents' birthdays that I didn't know about. My kid runs off in a sulk, he wouldn't tell me what was wrong at first but eventually he said he was sad he didn't get her a present. He wallowed for a bit while I tried to talk him down, then he said "Oh! I might have something!" So he goes into his book bag and looks carefully through his collection of leaves and chooses one to give to her.

I can't get over how kind this kid is, first for getting sad that he didn't get her anything, then giving her his own valuable things. Best kid ever ❤

Poem - Public House

Inspired by the pub where I work... this is about as personal as I can get without it being too painful. Lockdown has made me realise how attached I am to it. I am pleased with how this turned out though :)

Tfw you realise you're in love with a guy who is basically your OC and the relationship you have with him is the same one sided toxic one you wrote in your own story and omfg the OCs have come to life 😱 How can we forget about these men? We believe in them more than they believe in themselves and we're the ones that end up broken for it, jfc.

I never wanted to be Miama 😂 Even though she is a lot like me I always wanted to be Anaka. That's my whole life story... always been Miama, never been Anaka 😢

Apparently Labyrinth is getting a sequel... is it weird that I want Sarah and Jareth to get married in it? 😬 She's teenage me and when I was her age I legit would have fallen for him. 100%

A Father

Wee thing I whipped up for Father’s Day. Spot the shout outs 😆

  xxx

His is to provide for his family,

And he leaves nothing behind but them.

His legacy is the children who don’t always appreciate him,

From being too young to notice him,

To being old enough to kick and scream and disobey.

A wife who in loving and being true to him,

Will often complain that he works too much,

Or that they are too poor because he spends too many hours at home.

 Is he the modern man or a dying breed?

What is a father expected to do today?

What was his father expected to do when he was young?

Will his mother be proud of him?

Will his wife tire of him?

Will his children grow up good?

And will it be because of his presence or his absence?

 What difference is he making to the world,

As he carries the weight of it?

His is not to question, or reason why.

His is not to try to understand.

His is simply to provide and to guide, and to follow in his father’s footsteps,

If his father was a good man.

His mother will tell him if his father was a good man.

And his children will tell him if he followed.

They are his legacy, and his difference to the world,

And he will carry theirs much longer than he carries them.

From the rocking of their cradles to the rolling of his hearse,

He gives his love to roses and thorns,

And his is not to ask for anything in return.

 His is to be, and to let his legacy be, and hope that it is enough,

For things to be good and right.

Like his father made things good and right.

 He is not immortal, but he is more than simply a man.

He is a father.

Decided to treat myself to another cosplay. Still waiting for the earrings and shoes to arrive... and I need to buy a new wig as this one is too small 😭 But, it's not bad for a cheap cosplay

My necklace arrived from Wish 😆 I love it!
