I don't know who needs to listen to Surfin' Boy by Red Velvet, but it's definitely one of ya'lls OCs theme song (and the music video is unhinged as well)

Truly nothing will make me feel as crazy as trying to explain mental health issues to someone and them being like "well I've never felt that way so I don't get it" Yeah? Did you esoterically understand what it felt like to have a fever from a description in a book without ever being sick?

Truly the idea that the Genestealer Cults obviously and stupidly move around is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to engaging in media in good faith. The point is that gene stealers are insidious. Almost vampiric. The question isn't "can you kill it" it's "who is it"

Me consciously going from tent to tent at the Ren Faire picking up swords and mentally repeating "do not comment on the heft of the sword do not comment on the balance of the blade you do not know what you are talking about you have two years of kendo and three years of HEMA you are a baby"

"Take a gamble that love exists and do a loving act" is still my favorite quote but it sure does feel like our asses are getting beaten into the ground for betting on love huh

The one thing I will say about Georgia that surprised me was how much people openly and insistently would talk about how much they liked Country Music. Was it? A social test?

Explaining the page -> squire -> knighthood trajectory is so funny because you have to be like "so actually they were just fucking making it up as they go so there are a lot of exceptions"

I don't know what it is about the current climate but somehow I feel more validated than ever about why Inazuma was my most hated part of Genshin Impact and got me to stop playing.

On one hand, it is extremely gratifying that people want to come to my paid DnD sessions. On the other hand, someone telling me that they had to chose between rent and my paid DnD sessions makes me so deeply sad about existence.
