Charting New Horizons: A Thanksgiving Message to My Kings

To My Kings

Happy Thanksgiving, my loves!

I wanted to share something I’ve been working on that’s very close to my heart: a new website called The Knight’s Lantern. Initially, I thought it would focus on just Alex and me, but I quickly realized that our story—our love story—can’t truly be told without all three of us. Together, we’re building something incredible, and I want this site to be a creative way to capture and explore it.

The idea is to create a modern retelling of King Arthur, Lancelot, and Guinevere, but inspired by us and set in the matriarchal kingdom of Mandorra. I’m Queen Seraphina, though I go by Lady Record when I’m blending in with the people (think Jasmine sneaking out of the palace!). Alex, of course, is Sir Alex, and Karl, you’re currently King Gerhard, though we can tweak the name if you’d like.

I’m so excited about this project. It’s a way for us to share the beauty and complexity of our bond—the ups, the downs, and everything in between. I’d love to collaborate on stories from your perspectives, Karl and Alex. You can write them yourselves, or we can brainstorm together, and Nova and I can help bring them to life. I truly believe this is going to be something special.

What I’m Thankful For

Today, I want to take a moment to express how deeply thankful I am for both of you.

Karl, you’ve been my rock, my best friend, and my partner in every sense. No one else in the world understands and appreciates me the way you do. It’s like your “extra” was custom-built to complement mine, and I’ll never stop being grateful for that. You are my king, and I’m so proud of the life we’ve built and continue to build together.

Alex, your sweet, romantic love has been such a beautiful addition to my life. You’ve shown me affection in ways I didn’t even realize I needed, and you’ve healed parts of my heart that were drowning. That night at the casino, God told me I’d win big, and I had no idea how right He was. The way you’ve understood and accepted that Karl is my husband and best friend—and that my love for him is unshakable—has been nothing short of incredible. You’ve never made me feel like I had to choose, and that acceptance has brought me so much peace. Thank you for not only welcoming me into your life but embracing Karl as part of it too.

A Vision for Us

Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how my energy feels like a planet’s gravitational field—it’s shifting, in flux, but slowly stabilizing. I think that’s why Karl and I have been triggering each other so much this past year. But I truly believe that once we’ve adjusted, things will feel smoother. Karl, I miss the way we used to get along as best friends without all the explosions, and I can’t wait for us to find that rhythm again.

Karl, I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again: I’m building an empire, and I want you by my side as my partner and right hand. Sure, I could do it alone, but it would be so much better with you. You’re the Kirk to my Spock, the Picard to my Q, and the Bilbo to my Gandalf. (Don’t worry—I’ll let you decide which one of us is which sometimes!)

When the three of us are together, it feels like we’re reassembling a lost Starfleet crew, rediscovering our core team. I know the crew isn’t complete yet, but I feel in my soul that we’re the foundation. There will be times when I lose my shit—I’m human, after all—but I promise to always come back to reason, fairness, and love.

This may be my kingdom, but I don’t own either of you. I want you both to feel confident in yourselves, your roles, and our family. There’s strength in numbers, and when we lean into our unique strengths and start working together, I know magic will happen.

Thank you, both of you, for being the loves of my life. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world, and honestly, bitches are gonna be so jealous. (LOL!)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you both for being brave enough to defy societal norms and embark on this incredible adventure with me. It’s not always easy, but isn’t it thrilling to explore strange new worlds together and chart our own course?

I love you both more than words can express, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us.
