Fuck off, 2019

You were terrible, and you continued to be terrible right up until the bitter end.

Friends, I haven't had a head cold/viral illness for over a year, but I am definitely down for the count now. I will not be going out tonight for New Year's Eve. Just typing that made me almost start to cry and there's no way I can let that happen since I've already got a sinus migraine brewing. God damn it. Just...why? I bought a new dress and everything. My fuckin' life, y'all. Ha! Ha ha!

At least I've got Guardian, right? The show and fandom were my one bright and shining light for the year. So let's focus on that.

Twitter:

This RPF-esque (one of those the names and faces are the same) very short, very dark Tweetfic GOOD LORDT
My feed this morning was covered in Zhu Yilong's NYE performance. There's too many to link, so maybe just check out my latest likes. I think I'm the only person here who loves his Coat of Many Holes. I would wear that in a heartbeat, for real.

Not Guardian:

naye put this in front of my eyeballs and I'm bringing the rest of y'all down with me.

Ugh.

*tea and support* may 2020 be much kinder to you!

Thanks, bb, here's hoping.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo why a cold NOW??!?

THIS IS THE WORST I AM SO UPSET FOR YOU

*HUGS!!!*

and may 2020 be infinitely kinder and bring you nothing but good things. ♥

~~I apologize for putting that in front of anyone's eyeballs I will never be able to unsee it HELP~~

I have a cold now because seriously this is my life. There's a reason I have a "typical life" tag. I call it my low-hanging cloud and it's hung over me my entire life. I don't know why I have such stupidly bad luck. It's usually not devastatingly traumatic, but, like...Shit Happens to me All The Time. *emoji shrug*

At this point I'm not even surprised.

Thank you for the hugs, bb. Also for that Twitter feed bc while I wish such a thing didn't exist, I can at least be amused by the fact that it does.

Oh. Oh, dear. And I was just thinking earlier today, "I hope clevermanka's feeling better now!"

*Hugs*

But a bad year's always followed by a better one, right? Here's to hoping your 2020 goes wonderfully!!!

Thank you for the well-wishes.

But a bad year's always followed by a better one, right?
*side-eyes literally the past two decades* I don't think that applies to me.

I'm sorry you're ill and can't go party, and I hope you get to go out and be gorgeous in your new dress soon! ❤️

There's always next year!

Noooooooooooooooo curses. I’m sorry this year insists on being a tire fire til the end, babe.

At least it was consistent.

*hugs and hot tea for you*

*sips gratefully*

:(

*hugs gently*

*hugs back*

Oh FFS, really??

HUGS HUGS HUGS

2019 just had to give one last kick in the ass, didn't? I'm so sorry, girl.

I don't know why I expected anything different. XD

This is what every single viewer ever has been thinking!

I think I'm the only person here who loves his Coat of Many Holes.

I like it! I wouldn't wear it myself, but on him, I think it looks just fine.

ETA: Ack, I hit "post" by accident. But I'm so sorry the evil cold got you! I hope 2020 will be 100% better than that! ALL THE HUGS.

And yes, there is always fandom. Guardian makes everything better!

Thank you for the condolences. And letting me know I'm not alone in liking that weirdo coat.

ohnoes! my fomo used to be superstrong for NYE in particular, but i'm glad it's been letting up lately; i feel for you, bb ♥ please take it easy & get as much rest as you can! there will be other parties and other chances to wear pretty dresses.

no idea if this tweet will make things better or worse, but hopefully it will make you laugh?

The friend who invited me out (the one I'm staying with right now) said (as he was leaving in his gorgeous black trousers and red velvet blazer GOD he looked SO GOOD) that we should definitely do something for my birthday (my fiftieth and on a Friday). So here's hoping that pans out.

OMG poor Chrissy LOL! This is extra hilarious bc my GRIEVANCE on Boni's Twitter GRIEVANCE thread was I probably wasn't going find anyone at the party to kiss in the new year with and WELP! XD

I'm sorry the year went out on such a typical-for-2019 note. *hugs* I hope this coming year holds all kinds of wonderful things for you, and also that the cold doesn't last very long.

Thanks, bb. Things seem to be, er, moving along so that's...good?

Ugh, just ugh.

SERIOUSLY

Noooo! I'm so sorry about your not being able to go out and rock that new dress! And also make eye contact with someone and smile!

Hang in there. 2020 for the win!

Hanging in, bb. Hanging in...

Very sorry you got hit with a cold as a final present from a rocky year. Really hope 2020 has better things in store!

Thanks! Here's hoping. GOD.

I hope 2020 breaks the habit of a few decades and rocks for you!
