You say you have a complicated relationship with the fandom idea of "two cakes", would you elaborate

Hello! I can absolutely elaborate. I have a lot of feelings. Are you ready? This is going to be long. GIRD YOUR LOINS.

I do have a complicated relationship with the two cakes idea, for a few different reasons. The first and possibly most pedantic of reasons is that the original comic that birthed the whole “two cakes” thing is not… really about what fandom has taken it to mean.

(gonna slide this under a cut because it is SUPER long!)

Yes Aiden gets a bath.

all credit to toffeecape https://tmblr.co/mf9YsElj8yr95n1BjUcdVsQ for the butthole tea phrase with additional props to potatertot360 https://tmblr.co/mHkJxT6jtx1A-je0RGPS-uA for instantly adopting it as a server handle on Discord so I saw it every day as I was writing this chapter. Tater ought to be a protected class of pet gremlin, I’ll make it a law when I’m in charge.

I put in a warning for misgendering– it’s a real brief moment blink and you’ll miss it and will be dealt with later– but i didn’t warn for talk of disembowelment because well, you’re already here, you probably knew that.

Aiden had squashed himself into the corner so as not to remind them of his presence. With Keira’s head tucked against his shoulder, Lambert could make eye contact. Aiden nodded emphatically at him, and he rolled his eyes, but smiled: the fact that Keira hadn’t run away meant he was way ahead of anywhere he’d ever managed to get with her before.

Aiden took the washcloth, wrung it out, and draped it over the top of his head again, hunched so tightly in the corner his knees almost broke the surface of the water, and gave Lambert an almost demonic grin.

after all that i almost forgot to paste the link in.

Oh honorable mention for reminding me to post this to this art by Italian illustrator Daniel Cuello https://twitter.com/daniel_cuello/status/1366692403441205249 that deerna https://tmblr.co/mumXLWNqsJuFgXampZy9Z3A linked to on Twitter, which is clearly not fannish but coincidentally managed to astonishingly sum up the Lambert/Keira/Aiden dynamic I want to shoot for.
