I'm slamming this diet so hard, taking "everything in moderation" to a position that is definitely not moderate. I'm loading up on the good shit and cutting way back (but not cutting out) the bad. Basically increased veggies and beans by 400% and reduced frozen junk food down to a single serving.

Uhhh I walked up to a cutscene where Taygedo was waiting along with some other characters and when the cutscene started he vanished. Did they... did they remove him from the game? I've only seen him doing stuff around the shop now. Oh never mind there he is. I got my hopes up. :/

I don't think the story in this game is bad (except for the abysmal dogshit that is Chapter 2), it's episodic monster-of-the-week storytelling which I think works well for a supernatural thriller. Not much character development between episodes, because it doesn't need it.

My sneakers were falling apart so I busted out my old work shoes for a 15 minute walk The soles came off. So now I have to go back to my cheap sneakers. One of those days where I want to drown my troubles in $30 worth of food to make myself feel better.

I think I'm going to go a bit aggressive on the diet this time. The thing that burns me out of dieting is counting and having to buy shit, so intermittent fasting should help me hit calorie deficits and require less shopping trips. Also I've started walking again.

I'm my biggest opp, man. I asked my mom if we had callus remover and she said yes and showed me wart remover. She insisted it was the same thing but I didn't believe her. I looked it up later. It's the same thing. I don't know why I don't listen to her, she's literally never misled me.

I love how I never followed up on this. Creller feller hasn't been lonely for a long while now. I have a Nikke Cinderella nendoroid pre-ordered as well along with a small Doro figure and a Summer Elegg statue due in November. This shit is getting hella lit real quick.

Finally decorating with plushies and figures, starting with my favorite cow. She's just sitting there all by herself because the other stuff I ordered isn't here yet. It won't be so lonely up there for long.

I love Ruby so much. Sure her tits are huge and her ass is fat but also her smile is radiant and her eyes sparkling and so sweet and kind. She's a shining light in my life. Probably why Shining Light Academy ended up being a name that stuck. I'm eternally grateful for this game.

Fanart by @seorang_SR on Twitter I'm going to make this my transition goal. Well, not EXACTLY this, but this same kind of vibe. Fighting against injustice feels a lot cooler when you have a cool hat and cool jacket that exposes your shoulders and also this gun I found.

watching someone in a long-time friend group's discord server crash out over HSR 3.8 feels so vindicating. Finally, someone else that is keenly aware that HSR's writers genuinely see their fanbase as walking infants who will clap at anything.

That is to say I'm definitely not a man nor am I nonbinary. I am exactly what Ruby is. That being a girlfailure who is sitting home in her underwear playing FFXIV, drinking energy drinks, and watching YouTube videos on my other monitor. Ruby would never want me to keep lying to myself. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ

In 2019, I made Ruby. In 2022, I realized that I was not a cis man, but a bisexual person who's nonbinary. in 2024, I realized I was using Ruby to explore myself, using her as a fem extension that I would dress up. In 2026, I realized that Ruby is me, and I am Ruby.

Ruby the au ra posing in Azim Steppe and smiling cutely. She is very happy about things happening.

Got a new monitor stand, one of the fancy ones that clamp on the edge of the desk One of my monitors sucks so bad that it's too light for the stand and I forgot to adjust it, so it's just stuck at the highest setting. Also, none of the screws fit so I had to scuff it. lmao.

I feel bad for artists that are so talented wrt poses and scenarios that the public illustration is way hotter than any of the paywalled alts on their Patreon. I wouldn't mind seeing your character naked but why when she's wearing a waist-length see through tshirt and nothing else in the post.

Talking to another person, this one hasn't started transition yet. Apparently, trans women and men go through a checklist: feeling like the wrong gender at a young age, ordering clothes off of Amazon to "test" it, hating selfies until you start to look the gender you feel... I ticked all of them.
