(or anything your dad’s really into). Not gonna stop talking about it! learning chess has really opened up insight into my dad‘s life that i didnt even know I was missing. He messaged me today when I’d just played a game on chess.com saying “ahhhh a draw” cause he’s been watching it 😭
When he added me I discovered that in 2016 he wrote little summary blogs for his games and I don’t know why but it’s making me want to actually cry. We played a game at my dining table the other day and he taught me some stuff and then he called me after watching me play a game online to say that the way I doubled my rooks was almost exactly the same as the way he’d shown me in our game.

My dad is so excited I’m learning to play chess and called me to say I can come play with him if I want any training lessons. It’s so cute to hear him be so animated about his hobby and happy that I’m learning it too. I really recommend it.

This has strengthened our relationship so much and his lore is always insane. Dads always be doing the most random shit, but no one ever asks them about it. Since i've been asking my dad more about his day to day he gets so excited to tell me about all of the random things he's trying and learning. It's precious.

my dad usually embarrasses me by trying to tell the waitress jokes and he’ll spend the entire time complaining about the food. (“this coffee tastes like ass” or “what are these? pigeon eggs??”) BUT it‘ll make him happy and my dad often has very good gossip. Overall it’s a formative experience.

I used to be envious of people who had “MySpace friends” or “tumblr friends”. Now I have PI.FYI friends. Thank you capyboppy for your lovely letter and this illustration of a capybara and a mouse with fruit on our heads, it made me weirdly emotional ❤️
