I love the little magic swirls marking the scene change, and their reflections in the water slightly distorting their faces. Very pretty. Very meaning.

I think my big question about what Lava Lamp is saying is... he says he was in the Lava Lamp until he turned the correct age, but we've seen that was also only escaped the lava lamp because he was illegally broken out by Xing Huo. Did her actions just happen to line up with the correct time frame, by hitsuzen? Or did she act at that exact time by choice? 

Was Evil Wolverine just going to keep him in there indefinitely even though it was outside the bargain (of course he was) and it took Xing Huo’s actions to technically fulfil the terms of the wish? I think I quite like that. How even though Evil Wolverine tried to take even more than he was owed (again), hitsuzen still arranged itself so that the terms still fulfilled themselves naturally.

But following that thought a little further I do love that the point in time where Lava Lamp's Time Price is Over is such a central moment across the multiverse. It's "Where The Original Timeline Ended", but it's also the BIG Acid Tokyo Moment, as well as The Natural Time Where Watanuki’s Time Expired, and The Time Where Syaoran Had To Grow His Own Soul all at once. It all lines up PERFECTLY because most of it is FROM the same cause, even if we didn't know it until know, and it just so happened to line up with a completely unrelated visit to Acid Tokyo, which was already going pretty miserably (ie, Syaoran was being murdered, and then he was murdering other people) - but all connecting at JUST the right moment to prevent everything completely falling apart right there and then. A few minutes late and Auto Pilot Syaoran might have succeeded in a full party wipe and it all would have been over.

I believe pretty firmly that it's really only the stylization that makes Chilchuck's age as ambiguous as it is, and that it'd be a lot easier to tell in real life.

and after a serious-ish comic here's a little bit of bullshit

“Girls and the gays” is so interesting because even though both parts of that statement describe lesbians, I always get the feeling that the people who say it are not thinking about lesbians at all

does anyone know wtf word-stream.com is or where to send them a takedown request? i just found a bunch of fics, including my own, hosted on this AI slop site—apparently offering what I assume are AI-generated audiobook versions & (equally AI-generated) ratings and reviews. i can’t take a closer look without signing up, which, no thank you, but it looks like they’re hosting the full fics and are peddling a paid subscription for the trouble of hosting them. can someone more knowledgeable than me explain what our options are in this situation?

Whenever someone says that they’re ‘mourning’ or whatever because of my transition, I imagine taking my egg-self around back and putting him down like Old Yeller.

this reminds me to ask. Hey, folks who get stuck with executive dysfunction, specifically movement initiation (like when you're trying to get up to, idk, get the ice cream you want for dessert)?

Can you do me a favor? Next time you're stuck, try wiggling your toes and then trying to Get Up To Do The Thing and tell me whether or not it helps?

I have some half assed ideas about why this might work revolving around the possibility of being able to use smaller motions to build up the dopaminergic tone in the striatum of the brain. That's a major structure involved in both motivation and movement, both of which dopamine interact powerfully with. And it does seem to be useful for me, at least. But I can't figure out if that's some internal belief thing on my end or something more generally applicable, and I would love some help figuring out if this is useful for other people.
