knowledge long forgotten

got really into reading item descriptions on this playthrough. anyway did you know the silent princess is one of the only raw materials with a cooking effect to not explicitly list that effect in its description

MXTX's funniest and most ingenious author trick:

Character/animal/object: has a fuckass name

Reason: character in the story is terrible at naming things

Like the peak of this is obviously SVSSS with "stupid name? Blame Airplane!"

But like "Fairy is a silly name for a dog because Jin Ling inherited Jiang Cheng's stupid way of naming dogs" is also great

(I love the names that's just how it's treated in canon)

Like that's just fun

Realised today why mentally ill people get accused of being addicted to anything we even sort of enjoy

At the moment I'm extremely stressed and currently unmedicated and I have been extremely emotionally dysregulated all do the time for weeks now

So I've also been playing a lot of Stardew valley. The last couple of days, when I have been peak stressed, it's been rare I haven't had the stream deck in my hand

And I can see someone who doesn't know me or my situation calling that addiction (and people have called me doing things like this addiction)

But it's not. I like Stardew valley but I'm not even seeking dopamine or to feel good. I'm dysregulated and this helps regulate me. Playing SDV a lot is better then more destructive methods I have used in the past

When the stress drops and things calm down or I get medicated I won't need to play SDV so much

As long as I use the tool correctly and make sure to eat and do other care tasks (thank you Finch app) it's not a problem to use this to regulate and even if I wasn't taking care of myself the solution isn't to take away my best support tool

hey so it’s march now aka the beginning of endometriosis awareness month and i feel obligated to remind you that debilitatingly painful periods are not normal. if you or someone you know is ending up sick or bedridden every month, you are not crazy and deserve medical attention from someone who will take you seriously

A man needs a hobby while he's waiting for his beloved disciple to return from the dead and torture him!!!

(SQQ is a complete fucking freak and I love him so much)

nothing has ever made me more aware of the vernacular gap between the fandoms i'm in and other fandoms than a post i saw where someone was upset people were calling their blorbo disgusting and pathetic.

like that's high praise here. that's literally saying he is the most attractive a man could possibly be.

Creation of the Gods I: Kingdom of Storms (2023)

oh man kid fics are my weakness but i HATE how so many times characters are like "i didnt think i wanted a kid... but i couldnt possibly get rid of it..." come oooonnnn get that abortion bitch. stop acting like it's an unconscionable choice!!!! i'd prefer it SO MUCH if characters adopted rather than act as if abortion wasnt even on the table. let me enjoy my favorite characters becoming caretakers without feeling like theyre pro-life. sorry for sending this whole ass paragraph but your post reminded me of my Biggest Pet Peeve

NO YOURE RIGHT and that's why wangxian is so fucking based. They have a breeding kink but also an adoptive son. Iconic

As someone who plays DnD, let me break down what’s going on with the mxtx characters:

SQQ is an example of what happens when someone puts all their points into Charisma and uses wisdom as a dump stat.

WWX is what happens when someone puts all their points into intelligence and never bothers to roll an insight check.

Xie Lian is what happens when someone has a character with fantastic stats, but cannot roll above a 5 to save their life.

finding enough plastic in human brains to make a spoon is certainly a shocking headline but I just don't have it in me to be shocked anymore. not only can I see the evidence of spoon brain all around me I can literally feel it in myself
