That ADHD vibe where you can’t regulate your own needs very well, so you don’t know that you’re hungry until you’ve reached the point that you’re so starving that your stomach hurts. No build up in hunger, just “not hungry” suddenly switching to “if I don’t eat immediately my stomach will erode.”

Called my mom actively sobbing over this fictional character and my mom was like “bby maybe you need to take a break. Maybe you should lay down for a little bit, pet the dog for a while.” 😭

Me, calmly working on some gentle brainstorming, unsuspecting, when suddenly, my brain remembering Road to Empress 2: “Rui’er 😭😭😭 she’s a first rate maid servant. I’m so upset.” Anyways now I’m trying to brainstorm but I’m sitting here crying because SUDDEN EMOTION, jfc not how I planned my day…

Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t drink a cafe mocha in one hand and a chai latte in the other. Especially if your morning is off to a rough start. Live your bliss.

In terms of simple TTRPG storyhook goals, is there anything you would add to this list? 💛 To Guide 💛 To Cleanse 💛 To Protect 💛 To Mediate 💛 To Negotiate 💛 To Calm, Quell, or Sate 💛 To Defeat Just any other very very basic, one-word concepts that would describe a particular storyhook aim or goal?

My brain this evening feels a little like it's bouncing back & forth between 'relatively calm' & 'sudden moments of inexplicably racing thoughts and feelings of dread', and for the first like 45 minutes, I was like "nah, we'll see if it just sorts itself", but then I was like "... nah, need meds."

Grateful for my friends who know that I'm a chatterbox and genuinely enjoy listening to me yap endlessly about my latest hyperfixation ☺️ A blessing, for me, to be able to run my mouth and not feel judged about it.

Molly Grue being like "And where were you twenty years ago? Ten years ago? Where were you when I was new? When I was one of those innocent young maidens you always come to? How dare you! How dare you come to me now, when I am this!" will always fuck me up for the rest of time, tbqh 🙃🥲 Ow, my heart.

Me: walking downstairs at 8:30 AM with a notebook, an iPad, an oracle deck, a tarot deck, a deck of playing cards, a bag of dice, & several pens and highlighters, and immediately setting up my laptop before I go back to make coffee My mom: what's all that for? Me: Creative noodling.

Getting the pleasure tonight of introducing my mom to Princess Mononoke, so that’s very exciting 🥰

Brain stuck, and I need a rubber duck 😵‍💫

Tension headaches and nausea got me over here like "Save me, icy hot patches. Icy hot patches save me. Save me, icy hot patches."

This is just your friendly reminder that if you haven't eaten or had some water recently, maybe you should do that 💛

Living in a household of 5 means sometimes you request ice cream specifically for yourself and if you don’t eat it immediately when it arrives, you won’t get to eat a single bite of it before it’s gone. Anyways, I’m really grumpy.

Also -- many MANY apologies for posting this a second time. Thank you all so much for the support on the first post, but it also somehow (somehow? I wonder if it was the alt text...) garnered some uncomfortable attention from other parts of the internet that made me deeply nervous and uncomfortable.

Probably time to reintroduce myself after such a long hiatus. Hi! I’m Alex 💛 I write for & enjoy playing TTRPGS - and I love to yap. My latest project was the Hope Springs Eternal Daggerheart supplement. I’m a big proponent of play-by-post text based #TTRPG games. I like playing D&D and indie games.

Having to pull out the big ol' block button today based purely off of Bad Vibes and/or Vibes That Make Me Nervous and Uncomfortable. Why does posting a single selfie sometimes draw some really uncomfortable attention? I just wanna exist, man. I'm tired.

So this is today's Vibes Playlist in as many parts as it takes to list the songs: 💛 Fire in The Sky - Anderson Paak 💛 Dance - Lvly, Mia Pfirrman 💛 Lose Control - JJ Lin 💛 I'm Not Gonna Change - Snake City 💛 In the Dark - Swae Lee, Jhené Aiko 💛 Hold Tight - Lvly, Jaslyn Edgar

Would anyone care if I made a playlist thread (or threads?) 🎶 Asking partially for: A.) would anyone be interested? But also B.) would anyone just be outright annoyed by it? Lemme know, I guess 🎶

🎶I'm starting to feel the anxiety creep up on meeee todayyy🎶 Fingers crossed I can try and wrestle it under control before it gets to the point of being Too Wild To Manage.

✨D&D/TTRPG Question of the Day✨ What are some goals, wants, or aims that some of your NPC patrons (warlock or otherwise) have had in your games? Were they morally and ethically shady? Alien and confusing? Hard to understand? What is your favorite thing that a patron has asked? #dnd #ttrpgs

Honestly, good advice from a friend when I expressed being confused and anxious about the way some people respond to certain elements of TTRPGs being presented to them with outrage: "Worry less of "How would I answer" and try to rethink more with "I prob wouldn't welcome them at my table"" (1/2)

In other news, the two goblin guards guarding the Marquis in our D&D game tonight, calling him "your greasiness" instead of "your graciousness" all night long as been a highlight for my evening.

Me, tired, whiny, and in a sour mood due to life things, talking to my friend and D&D text RP partner: "Why are we doing so much math? There's so much damn math. I'm so tired of math. TTRPGs are nothing BUT math. Why do we fucking play TTRPGS?" (So unserious, to be clear, I'm just tired and grumpy)

Something I've discussed with my D&D text RP partner is that I really struggle to make things feel weird, bombastic, and big enough when it comes to encounters. Admittedly, he tends to really vibe with *anime style* wildness, which is fine, but I also just play things really, really safe 24/7 (1/?)

I am once again asking for shadowy masked individuals and/or bots on the internet to stop trying to get into my fucking accounts.

Sometimes, you're watching something, and then your brain starts sort of processing an idea, and you write it down, because on the one hand it's interesting, but then you think -- "But on the other hand, that's arguably very fucked up!"
