MFW credit card statement pops up and it's like triple the usual, "did I get identity thefted?" -- no, I just forgot that I had a bunch of medical appointments and also prepared for an upcoming international trip
You hear it listed as a point of characterisation both about real people and fictional characters, but I'm actually kind of a little curious... are there people in the world who *don't* enjoy [intentionally] making others laugh? Not as an expectation, but just a thing you are doing.
For various unimportant reasons, my random declaration out of nowhere is: anyone can draw, anyone at all -- rather, question is whether you can draw in a way which satisfies the desires of your imagination, and whether you can turn "drawing" into a way of fulfilling the material needs of your life.
Well, perhaps not drive, for me -- say rather, be miraculously healed and just walk around meanderingly for hours
All I want to do today is drive around and stop at roadside ditches and look at weird plant guys and spoods but I'm stuck working with some dude 😭
Rereading Tsujimura's "Anime Supremacy!" and damn. I'd forgotten how many of the little comments and asides in Hitomi's POV come off as just. Incredibly gay.
There's this official survey thing on Twitch and on the one hand, it SAYS this is for benevolent purposes, and on the other hand, this is Amazon's Twitch and I don't trust it farther than I can throw it
I do enjoy the experience of seeing someone freak out, in a language I don't speak, over a selection of screencaps whose particular composition strongly indicates that we are on the same page about what to freak out about.
I may have mumbled about it previously, but it really does strike me sometimes when people enthuse about x element of y media and then proceed to demonstrate zero actual understanding of x element of y media. I suppose it underscores the exquisite-corpse nature of experiential reality.
Love to have the opportunity to spring an explanation of the Great Vowel Shift on an innocent and unsuspecting peer
I have run out of (actual caffeinated) tea. Woe. Apocalypse.
Anyway I'm sorry @ the nice frog-watcher I bumped into earlier, I am just awkward at baseline and also I was getting bitten by mosquitoes and do not have the grace to "act" "like" "a normal person" while being bitten by mosquitoes
Making the faceless void of the world wide web my DIY accountability partner: gonna go out within the next sixty seconds instead of stress-looping in place
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA[...]AAAAA [....] aaaaaaaAAAAA
Anyway, in other 'shit I didn't realize' news, apparently the coupla Hardinges I hadn't read weren't just children's books as in 'written for young audiences', they were fully like quasi-picture-book-style titles, so that's not much
I was confused by comments about the gaiety of 'latest Jaadugar' until I read the latest 'slation and realized the commenter probably meant the manga chapter, not the anime episode. Hot damn. "Circumstances" eh?
So one of the folks I used to follow on Tumblr way back in the day -- I'm talking like over a decade ago -- got something traditionally published. Saw their name on the jacket at the library and all. Picked it up and within two pages was like "where the hell was the copyeditor on this"
So I understand that there is no such thing as a weightless love that's love in anything but name, but also, consider: what if I simply hate that
I love to play the game of "am I being TOO accommodating? is that off-putting? should I accommodate their preferences by being less accommodating?"
Sometimes all you've got is the hollow-eyed creature with its wound-up clockwork back and you go and you go but is it really You
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa[...]aaaaaaaaa
I don't know why it is, but "slightly weird/goofy/discordant laugh from an affable person" is a juxtaposition that I find simply delightful
How come 你什麼意思啊？is rude but "What do you mean?" isn't rude... why does adding 你 suddenly make it like you're starting shit
Also I gotta say it is very cringe to see video creators screensharing and quoting AI overviews instead of actually looking the thing up
I love how OTC strength painkillers take literally two hours to take effect in my system. I love to suffer pointlessly for a minimum of two hours every time, like a highway toll or an cult initiation rite.
I am more willing to try out high-concept fiction than low-concept fiction for reasons not entirely dissimilar to those underlying my greater willingness to try out cake than pie.
OK I really gotta get someone to fix this damn leaky window I'm just gonna have to
