was the ravioli woman your mom and you simply didn't recognize her or did your mom just send her? inquiring minds want to know

After some light detective work I found that the woman who delivered the canned ravioli to me while I was on shift at the dildo store was a professional clown sent by my mother to celebrate my birthday.

There's this interesting phenomenon where when you're a child, or some other vulnerable minority dependent on a job for shelter, you are actually under duress almost constantly. You can't say "I don't want to work today," you cannot say "I don't want to do the dishes, actually," you cannot choose not to participate. In a lot of cases, the punishment is explicit. Your parents might yell at you. Your boss might fire you. But in other cases, it's implicit. The mood will sour. You lose leeway. People get mad at you. And that creates a really shitty environment where you're constantly being coerced to do things!

And here's the kicker; you're not allowed to acknowledge that. You cannot acknowledge that you are being coerced, you cannot acknowledge that your free will is not being respected, because that's punished too. Your boss insists that you act excited. Your parents punish you for acting surly. You are forced to fake enthusiastic consent, constantly. It's a fucking nightmare. Your hand is being forced, you do not have the option to say "no," and if you ever, for a second, try to acknowledge that, everyone acts like you're the aggressor.

one of the more casually fucked up parts of reading vns is when you first cave on doing it and realise that they're actually books. like you intuitively get that, but the first time you pass a 40 hour playtime mark and realise you're still seeing new text, you get why people are so passionate about it as a literature medium

Kicking off @yeehawgust 2025 with the stars of my fanfiction for ✮Stars of the Midnight Range✮!

"It's almost kind of an honour sittin' next to ya. You just shine in my eyes."

This is a three-screenshot composite made with Fallout 4, inspired by The Misfits (1961). I've been wanting to play with the film poster, record cover and midcentury advertising refs I have, and there's no better time than Yeehawgust to try something new! Made with @edaworks who is teaching me a lot about typography. The prompt list is [here]! Shoot straight and keep your wits about you, pardner!

Small penises aren’t bad, balding isn’t bad, being short isn’t bad, being fat isn’t bad. Physical traits are not signs of morality, and the sooner people stop mocking people for their bodies (yes, even when they’re bad) the better.

Despite everything, it's still you.

Please enjoy this absolute dog crap pic of a great horned owl, which is ironically the best picture I've ever taken of this owl, being that it is an owl and only ever active in low light conditions and never very close since it's a wild animal.

is it phasing out of reality or
