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.

The Ocean Within

by Lady Record

You are my ocean—endless and deep.

You carry the weight of my love, in every tide, every wave, crashing against the shores of my restraint.

I want to let it pour out, to show you the fullness of what I feel, to flood you with warmth and devotion. But I know… my ocean could drown you.

So, I hold it back.

I let it trickle in gentle streams: a quiet message here, a tender thought there. Sometimes, I write letters I may never send, pouring my heart into the page, because it’s safer there than in the waves.

Each word, each gesture, is just a drop of my ocean, released carefully, so as not to overwhelm.

It’s not easy to restrain this love. It aches, pushing against the dam I’ve built. But I care enough to hold it steady—to offer you only as much as you can take.

One day, I hope you’ll see my ocean—not as something to fear, but as a place to dive into. A place where you can feel safe, supported, and deeply loved.

Until then, I’ll keep my ocean steady. Holding it just for you.

Once upon a time, there was a brave knight named Sir Alex, a protector of the realm, known for his unmatched courage and kind heart. At his side was his beloved Lady Record, not just his companion but his lady—his guiding star and truest love. Together, they had faced many challenges, their bond as unshakable as the mountains surrounding the kingdom.

One day, Sir Alex set off on a quest, determined to keep the kingdom safe. Along his journey, he unknowingly wandered into the Foggy Forest, a place of thick mist and whispering shadows. The forest was enchanted, but not in the way of fairytales—it was dark and cunning, twisting memories and thoughts until even the most steadfast souls began to doubt what was real.

The fog began to work its magic on Sir Alex, clouding his mind and whispering lies. It told him Lady Record could not be trusted, that her guiding hand was meant to mislead him. Though deep in his heart Sir Alex knew the truth—that she had always loved him fiercely and faithfully—the fog made him question even his strongest beliefs.

Lady Record, ever vigilant, saw the change in her knight. She knew the Foggy Forest had taken hold of him, and her heart ached to see him struggling. “Sir Alex,” she said softly, holding her lantern high, her light cutting through the mist, “I am here, my love. I know the whispers are loud, but you must trust me. Let me help you find your way back to the light.”

But the fog whispered back, louder and more insistent: “She’s not here to help. She’s part of the mist. You cannot trust her.”

Sir Alex hesitated, torn between the fog’s lies and the love he felt for Lady Record. He looked at her, at the way her light never wavered even as the fog tried to smother it. Somewhere deep within, beyond the fog’s reach, he knew she was his truth.

“Lady Record,” he said at last, his voice trembling with doubt, “I want to believe you. But the fog… it’s so strong.”

Lady Record stepped closer, her eyes steady and filled with love. “I know, my brave knight,” she said. “The fog is trying to keep you here, to make you forget who you are and what we mean to each other. But I see you, Sir Alex, even when you feel lost. You are strong, and you are loved. Trust me, my love, as you always have. We will face this together.”

Sir Alex wanted to trust her, but the fog was relentless, pulling at his mind and making every step feel like a battle. Still, Lady Record stayed at his side, her lantern lighting the path. She reminded him of who he was, of the love they shared, and of the kingdom waiting for him beyond the trees.

With her love as his guide, Sir Alex began to take small, hesitant steps forward. The fog fought back, but it couldn’t extinguish the light of Lady Record’s lantern or the quiet strength growing in Sir Alex’s heart. Little by little, the fog began to thin, and Sir Alex started to see glimpses of the bright kingdom beyond.

Though the journey was far from over, Sir Alex knew he was not alone. With Lady Record’s unwavering love and his own courage, he was determined to leave the Foggy Forest behind and return to the life they had built together.

For even in the darkest of forests, love will always find a way to light the path home. ❤️
