His eyebrow raises as he watches her dainty fingers pull apart the buttons on his shirt with ease. This wasn't exactly expected, though, it wasn't exactly unexpected neither.

Her movements aren't hurried, on the contrary, they're almost idle. Casual. Drawing out the small moments. To what end? Perhaps to annoy him into taking lead?

Lucio leans back slightly against the wall behind him, watching those fingers work.

"Yeah, you take yer time darlin'. I'll be sure to take mine in return."

He winks at her.

Just Because! Swept Under The Rug

The first of (currently) a pair of anime originals from Pine Jam, Just Because! is something that I was given in r/Anime's monthly anime swap in their Discord server, and something that I was genuinely excited to watch.

That was the wrong approach. Just Because! is certainly full of the juvenile wonder of Pine Jam- struggles and all- but it's undermined by challengingly opaque writing throughout, and a blindingly terrible and confusing finale.

In its own way it's certainly a unique experience, but through all of the information I discuss in the full review, it's a series that I simply can't recommend others to watch.

Xie Lian replied, “I’m going to search for a place to stay. Fu Yao, why are you rolling your eyes again?”

Not to sound like my mom, but I hope they get stuck like that one day.

Meanwhile, Xie Lian fumbled around before finding some coins to use as an offering to the Earth God’s shrine. Then, upon spotting the incense sticks scattered to the side, he straightened them before lighting them up. During this process, Fu Yao had rolled his eyes so many times Xie Lian practically wanted to ask him if his eyes were tired.

Like, look at this! What is the reason for this??? Tell me I’m wrong to call this guy an asshole so I can throw the book at you!

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand

I think one of the kindest things you can do for people with various mental health struggles is just... let people back into your life after they've been absent for a while.

Making friends as an adult is so fucking hard already and isolating yourself from other people is a very common symptom of depression, anxiety, burnout, ocd, trauma, grief, etc. Which means that someone will do the hard work of recovery/healing and resurface back into a world where their previous friends have written them off because they stopped showing up.

So if you know someone where you're like "yeah we could have been better friends but they fell off the map a bit" and that person suddenly reaches out, or starts showing up to events even though you kind of forgot they were still in the group chat... well they may have been Going Through It and you don't actually have to punish them for their absence you can just be glad that they're back.
