#I am constantly waiting to talk about it

[capriciouslyterminal]

Hi! Is there somewhere we can read the novel you wrote about the Rowdy 3?

Hi! Yes! The Dirk Gently fic I am (honestly) the most proud of in my entire fic-writing stint. It's on Archive of Our Own (so you'll need an account there to read it) and here's the link to A Road Song in Quartet That Smells like a Trio. Thank you so much for asking!!

And, as a taster, the intro!

The last bar out of this town south of nowhere is more creak than wood with more static than music pouring out of the sun-bleached jukebox when he walks in. The quality of the music only gets worse as he appears like something walking straight out of a crossroads. Shaking the dust off his boots, the Hell from his hands. 

He hasn’t eaten in a week and that means he’s still got his head on straight but things around him, things in the air, go a bit peculiar-like. Sound bends to get away from him like tiny schools of fish scattering before something dark and slow moving, puffs of smoke thread in opposite directions to let him pass, and poor Johnny Cash’s already washed out voice goes slow and stumbling like he’s playing straight from the grave.

But at least the place is empty enough that Martin can actually take a seat at the bar and tap his cigarette in the ashtray without his metaphysical stomach growling (his actual stomach doesn’t do much). The lone woman wiping down the counter stays at the other side of the room, seems perfectly content with the fact that he’s not ordering a drink, and has eyes that say she’s stared into this same empty night outside this same shithole town enough times that her feelings are a fetid puddle at her feet. 

Eating tonight would be like drinking piss through a straw. And there’s comfort in that. Hunger sits beside him, panting like an unchained dog, but it turns up its nose up at the menu tonight. 

And for a man-shaped thing like Martin that’s peace.

Look, there's so much that I love about certain otome but I really don't finish every route every time ?? But 7'scarlet, Steam Prison, and Norn9 all got completed! So they get the rec spots!

Honorable mentions: Nightshade (ninja otome, same artist as Norn9 thus I love it even if I haven't completed every route - Switch) Period Cube (I also fully complete it and the art is very nice imo and I enjoyed it a lot but it has really bad reviews from like. everywhere I see. but here's my shill of appreciation anyway - PS Vita) Sweet Fuse (it's just really fun to yell at men for being sexist - PSP)

But genuinely, there's a lot out there! Do the research on the game before you buy them! Not all otome are for everyone.

rehyperfixating on a children’s game that came out in 2015, is one of the least popular entries in its series, and has minimal content, the vast majority of which i’ve seen before. the series has been dead for nearly 10 years, nothing has happened recently that would warrant anyone’s returning interest in it, very few of my friends give a shit about this specific game, and those few who played and liked it in the past have no reason to give a shit about it at all right now. i have been coasting through on a playthrough i’ve been doing with a friend who’d never seen the game before and who was kind enough to let me show it to them, but we just beat the game, and after we play the epilogue we will have nothing left to do, and on top of that they really have just been humoring me as they have their own very strong current hyperfixation they would much rather be thinking about. also i am depressed enough right now that literally nothing else except for waiting to play this game with them and playing this game with them and watching them enjoy it at least a little has been able to briefly quiet the constant cacophony in my head screaming how much of a worthless, lazy, constantly-failing miserable excuse for a living person i am and how much better everything would be, especially for myself, if i stopped existing lately. would anyone like to volunteer to 🔨💥⚒️Kill Me With Hammers🔨💥⚒️ because i would really like for someone to 🔨💥⚒️Kill Me With Hammers🔨💥⚒️ right now

why is the decision of whether or not to reveal your main to someone you mainly interact w/ on a sideblog by following them so stressful

[scalpelsister]

what if i lost the will to live like. as a joke. what then.

[koka-mi]

I wish my sister would stop making fun of my music taste :[

"your music taste is so basic"

"this song sucks/this is boring"

"ofc you would like this song"(/neg)

"why do you like *genre/general songs* they're not even good"

"hmm I think this is one of *music artist*'s more weaker songs"

"turn this trash off oh my god I'm tired of it"

GIRL. just let me listen to songs I like in peace. I don't talk about your music taste!! I never judge you for what you listen to and I never tell you your music taste is bad. So why do you keep treating my music taste as inferior??

It's just.frustrating. It's gotten to the point where I don't wanna listen to songs I like near her anymore. Anytime I hear her coming upstairs or I feel like she's going to come in the room, I immediately stop the music I'm listening to because I know once she hears it she'll start saying a buncha negative stuff about it. LIKE BESTIE. IT'S NOT THAT DEEP IT'S A THREE MINUTE SOUNDWAVE. JUST LET ME ENJOY IT :(

[sodrippy]

kind of crazy how everything just Happens to me. like i dont really have any major specific regrets beyond just 'i wish i lived more' but even that in hindsight was kind of contingent on factors beyond my own abilities, but idk its somehow worse this way. i think i would feel less angry and adrift if id done things that landed me where i am, or i dunno just had any say in it instead of just being fuckin tossed around year after year

[dredshirtroberts]

huh... the way my parents showed me the world worked was really kind of fucked up, it's no fucking wonder i have an anxiety disorder frankly.

xenoblade 1 is interesting because when I first played it I had really mixed feelings. mostly I think because it had been slightly overhyped for me. there were so many videos with masterpiece in the description and people saying it was their favorite.

there was a lot that first turned me off during the story (namely the way it handled its female characters made me frustrated at multiple points) and also how they handled the revenge arc because I have very very specific taste in revenge arcs and I just dont think it landed for me. 

I think I appreciate it a lot more now that im fully deep into the series. I do like a lot about it, from its gameplay to its environment to a lot of the little cast interactions, to just shulk existing. yeah. yeah its alright

I have made. Many mistakes,,,

I've gone from 'eh i never do anything dont worry we can play videogames!' To 'Sorry cant talk i have the next 3 weeks scheduled to the second and am actively having a panic attack. Bye!'

How did this happen? Christmas. And divorce, but that's less impactful.

I will now proceed to rant in the tags gootbye forever.
