cosmolinguist | [144/365] I don't usually feel like my household is particularly queer but sometimes...

I ran downstairs like seven minutes before my job interview because I'm still too new to being a dude to have learned to tie a tie. Since there's still a pandemic I only wear them for job interviews and it's a rare enough and panicky enough situation that I'm never gonna learn that way.

I saw I was accidentally interrupting

mother_bones's sideshave but he was as always happy to help.

He tied the tie on himself so the muscle memory worked and then put it around me and adjust it to my short king proportions. I was otherwise dressed but I hadn't put my shirt on yet (I was struggling with shirt/tie combinations), so it made me laugh that he was perfecting this tie over my binder and braces/suspenders.

"I am going to put a shirt on, don't worry," I said.

"Aw, I thought it's a cute look," he said as he went back to the haircut.

"It's a great look," (I said, dashing off. The full-length binders that work best for me just look like tank tops. I did wonder sometimes last summer if I could get away at just wearing it with nothing over it!) "Just...not for right now!"

The interview seemed okay, I was maybe a little vague and waffly at the end but I did my best. I should know in a few days I guess.

You three are so kind and caring to one another. Makes me happy when you share these kinds of snippets.

It makes me really happy to have them to share! It is so different from what came before.

Well done, household. Also, yay for looking good in an "undershirt", braces, and tie.

Ha, yes it is just a kind of undershirt isn't it, I like that. It was a good look! -- if I'd had time I would've taken a picture. :)

Maybe next time you'll do it again, without the time pressure, and you can get the picture then. I'm sure there will be at least one willing photographer.
