I think I've already said this once before but I really wish there was a feature in Wizard101 where important events, lore, and dialogue in the game were documented somewhere so we can view them whenever we want. like unless we video record the events while it happens, take pictures, or just go through the whole entire fucking plot with another wizard character there's no way to ever revisit those moments and that SUCKS??????? like wizard101 has some of the best lore ive ever seen and I don't wanna have to level up my wizard all the way to level 100 just to see that iconic grandfather spider scene or grind through azteca just to find that one epic fourth wall breaking moment 💀 i want to revisit all the incredible and funny and weird shit we've all gone through Immediately. Like damn remodel the library so that it actually keeps records and dated films of the things we've gone through so it can actually be useful instead of it being Just A Building (rants about this for so long that even Jesus smacks His lips)

to day i realized that like a specific third of my family doesnt have atrocious vibes bc theyre my granddad's family and not my grandmother's family and they like to have fun and party and arent turbo cultists . and they invited me down to brazil for 2 weeks for christmas/new years and well thats preddy expensive but i also might get my first ever (belated) birthday party out of it if i ask coz they were sad and shocked i didnt do anything for it this year (i never do) (im not allowed) (milestone year)

Hey, I have a question. First of all, you don't have to answer, I get it if it's too personal, I'm only asking this based on your bio—but what does it mean for you to be Serbian(American)? I assume you were born in the US. Have you ever been to Serbia? Have you been taught the language, the customs at all? (I cannot emphasize enough, I really am curious because—for me—people in the US have such an interesting perspective on nationality, which is completely the opposite of the 'progressive' view in Europe. So you're not obligated to share and I don't mean to imply that you're less Serbian if you've never set foot in Serbia or something) also this is like a follow up question but are you/your family Orthodox Christians? (Also ignore pls if you don't want to disclose that)

You assume wrong, I was born in Serbia.

We are very culturally Serbian, but it's impossible to escape the American culture we grew up in. American culture will bleach you of your own roots if you do not cling to them.

weirdest thing about getting older is watching something, seeing an actor in that thing, and looking them up on IMDb expecting to see a birthdate in the 70s because they look like a proper adult but then it turns out they were born in 1988 and are in fact younger than me

My aunt invited my mother's family for lunch. Me preparing for the inevitable family drama:

[youllalwaysfindyourwaybackhome]

the hardest part about my parents getting older is lightning fast transition from being generally resilient to going into a blind panic at the slightest problem

hey. realize that getting old isnt a nightmare. and then cry a little maybe.

god literally anyone in the family besides my mom saying stuff like 'oh lulu is so strong or kind, such a nice person, we're so proud of her' makes me. unbelievably angry. like I feel like my mom says it with genuine appreciation!!!!! I like hearing her say it!!!!!!! but anyone else saying it just feels performative and uncaring and like im still a fucking child to them and they're so surprised I can do things or take care of my mom or even do ANYTHING right

this is my 68-year-old former republican, former pro-life, deep-south-resident father. he left the party when it became the party of trump in 2015, and has since grown from a centrist-conservative never-trumper to being more and more liberal and thoughtful. this is an argument i have made in the past, which he previously bluntly disagreed with, but clearly has since thought more about it, and now here we are.

people are capable of changing for the better, even at his age. i do grant that, as i said, he never drank the trump kool-aid and was so disgusted by the man from the start that he changed his party affiliation, but he proudly supported bush and mccain and romney at their times. not everyone is beyond the point of listening and changing their minds, not even when they're approaching their seventies.

it is not okay to dismiss or come down on people for past viewpoints and arguments if they have since reconsidered them and changed their minds. you have to let people grow. and of course you can't always have the spoons for political debates and considering all sides and where the other party is coming from, and it's easy to lose your temper and assume that the other party is acting in malice, but -- genuinely, honestly, spoken by someone from the bible belt -- most of the time they aren't. yes, some people are beyond listening and would take the work of years to chip away at the cult conditioning, but you have to be able to tell the difference between those people and the ones who simply have not been exposed to this perspective.

people can grow at any age. it's part of being human.
