#theyre all related bc i said so.#shinei is kinda a little bit estranged from his family so akito doesnt know hes actually related to arata until a family gathering happens#and arata is a little bitch about it. “so nice to meet you shinonome!” “shut up you bitchass motherfucker” “my how rude!”#whereas minori and ena are just fawning over nanamin's stream stats.#idk if minori's brother is canonically called riori or not but i head that somewhere. i think ao3.#im not an “iori and arata are twins” girlie though. theyre like a year apart. iori doesnt turn up bc “her car broke down” (she didnt want t#how do the hanasatos get into a shinonome family wedding you ask? well. i see them as like irish families. shinei's firs cousin is like:#“oh shinomom! bring your family too! do you have siblings?” “i have a brother! he has two kids!” “is that 3 or 4 for the catering?” “4”#and she tells her brother three days before the event.#nanamins parents arent married but she keeps her dads surname#shinei is an only child but he has 7 first cousions. projecting onto shinodad too i fucking guess.#ramblings#no image id#pjsk posting#project sekai#akito shinonome#shinonome akito#ena shinonome#shinonome ena#minori hanasato#hanasato minori#riori hanasato#hanasato riori#< just in case#iori tono#tono iori#iori l/n#l/n iori#ln iori#iori ln

Pokémon Fushigi no Motherfucking Dungeon !!!!
(i would put a screenshot here but my deck couldn't upload them for some reason.)
thoughts & comments on pmd in japanese below (VERY LONG)
28 new flashcards!!
uncountable new words that i did not add for various reasons!!
observations:
blessedly, the game is so far not using a lot of formal language. the personality quiz did use formal language but the actual characters themselves are speaking very casually (i’m actually really excited to see how the npcs speak in the future, i want to see how they’re characterized via their speaking styles)
one thing that really interests me in japanese is the 2nd person pronoun system and how people (or characters) choose to refer to each other and this was super fun to watch for in the game. in the first chapter, i counted 1 use of あなた (only in the “what’s your name?” menu input), several uses of きみ (most of which occurred during the personality quiz, but some of which were used by the partner pokemon prior to learning MC’s name; every time, it was written in katakana), 1 or 2 uses of おまえ (used by zubat towards the partner), and i noticed that after learning MC’s name partner exclusively refers to them by their name and does not use any kind of suffix. my guess is that this is either 1. because they are not human / this is standard practice in the pokemon world or 2. hinting at the fact that they end up having a very close relationship and that partner trusts leader immediately. i’m half expecting wigglytuff and/or chatot to be referred to as 先生 or something like that so we’ll see in chapter 2!!
speaking of expectations, i had a couple going in: 1. that there would be a lot of onomatopoeias, because they seem to have a huge amount of use in creative writing, & 2. that i would see a lot of the little stylistic bits & bobs i’m already familiar with in japanese that tell you more about a character. both of these came true! i’ve already added some new onomatos to my flashcards AND i noticed some fun things about the characters:
male partner uses ぼく (sensible - it’s either that or おれ, and he is NOT an おれ character at all) (funnily enough and perhaps somewhat embarrassingly i did name the partner in this game majima and in hindsight i’m thinking wow they are literally not like each other at all but it’s ok i’m just choosing to ignore it i cba to redo the entire save anyway. plus i customized it so he's gastly and i'm clefairy which is already the cutest duo ever and i don't want to change that especially because i also had to give them custom stats and movesets so WHATEVER majima is just going to be different in this universe and he can handle that. also the partner is written very cutely and giving him that name made him even cuter to me so its no big deal really)
speaking of cutely i literally can’t explain this because i don’t remember it being the case in the english version but genuinely there is something REALLY endearing about how the partner talks in the japanese version. i guess thats another reminder that things really do get lost in translation like im sure the TL team did the best they could but english partner and japanese partner already feel different from each other and the latter is so cute, in a way it does feel like he has a fuller range of expression here
i think male MC also uses ぼく? i swear i remember a “ぼくじしん” in there but who knows
ぼく and ほんとう (spelled ほんと by the partner but ほんとう in MC’s thoughts) were almost entirely in katakana (i think ほんとう might have been hiragana), also for some reason なぞ (“riddle” or “enigma”) was in katakana too???? just for artistic flair, maybe? おまえ was as well but that makes sense
zubat and koffing (zubat in particular) both had a rougher, more masculine speaking style, which is exactly what i expected from them. lots of sentence-ending ぜ and ぞ (male partner uses さ from time to time, but not ぜ/ぞ), and they called partner 弱虫くん which made me so mad on his behalf! so rude!!!!!!!
other thoughts:
i was worried about the lack of kanji but honestly it’s not impeding my reading at all. a lot of the words are words that don’t need kanji, and if they are kanji-based words then they’re either ones i’ve never seen before (and i can just look them up online) OR they’re ones i can recognize by their reading/the context/just generally being familiar with them after seeing them a bunch in other places. i definitely feel like my intuition for like…word boundaries and that kind of thing has already gotten stronger and will probably improve from playing this game lol
HOLY FUCK, READING PRACTICE. you would not believe the amount of reading i did. when i got to beach cave (literal very first dungeon in the game) i sat in the menu for maybe at least half an hour just straight up muddling through the 700000 words the game was putting in front of me. some of them i looked up, some i grasped from context, some i gave up on (but the last category was pretty small)
i was reading the entire menu and i got to the “hints” section and it was so long that i just gave up. a treat for future me
speaking of context, playing a game i know by heart was ABSOLUTELY the right decision. i could largely figure out what moves my boys have without knowing what the names of the moves meant by reading the descriptions and going “hmm…ghost…physical…low power…this is astonish!!!!!” or “normal…no damage…always lands…YAWN!!!” etc.
i also think i’m playing this at the right stage of my learning. just beginner enough to heavily benefit from the mass exposure/immersion aspect of it, but learnéd enough to recognize a great deal of what’s put in front of me, and already knowing the game really well makes it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (X1000000000) much easier to bridge the gap between what i do and don’t know. i got a tiny bit mentally exhausted from all the reading lol but it was soooooo worth it, most of my studying right now comes in the form of kanji/vocab + grammar/structure + listening to music so i’ve been sorely lacking in the “just straight up reading things normally” department and this game really fixes that up for me :)
keeping it real my speaking is definitely shit because i never practice (unless you count singing…) but i found myself reading out loud as i played to help figure things out and i do feel like i improved a tiny bit by the end. the partner pokemon in particular was really fun to read for because they gave him a fairly emotional/heart-on-his-sleeve speaking style (not dissimilar to the english version, but it feels much stronger here as previously noted) so i got to have fun reading his lines :P i definitely felt like i was hitting the consonants much better and keeping everything flowing well
im trying to upload screenshots but it wont work, so for personal recordkeeping: SENTENCES THAT I READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL BY MYSELF AND AM REALLY PROUD OF
いちどきめたことはさいごまでやりとおす? roughly = “once you’ve decided to do something, do you see it through to the end/do you stick with it?” (lit. “one time decided thing TOPIC end until carry through?”)
「はどう」とは きみのからだがはっするみえないエネルギーのことだ roughly = “[aura] is the energy your body gives off” (lit. “[wave motion] QUOTE TOPIC you POSS body SUBJ emit energy NOM thing is”)
オレンのもをたベると HPがかいふくするぞ!Xボタンでメニューをひらき 「どうぐ」コマンドからたべてみよう! roughly = “if you eat an oran berry, your HP will restore! try eating it using the ‘item’ command after opening the menu with the X button!” (lit. “oren NOM/CLASS fruit OBJ eat.NP IF ‘HP’ SBJ restore do EMPHATIC! ‘X’ button MEANS menu OBJ open(NOUN) [tool] command from eat-and-see-VOL!”)
why is the tutorial using ぞ???
is it because i picked boy during the quiz? is it trying to be manly with me??? am i reading too deeply into this? (probably)
i was surprised to see 道具 here because i just recently learned it and i was like “tool? there’s no tools in this game…” but i could tell from its menu position that it was item/inventory so i was like, huh, interesting use of the word…
この かけらが はまる ばしょを いつか はっけんしたい! roughly = “someday, i want to discover the place that this fragment fits into!” (lit. “this fragment SBJ fit place OBJ someday discovery do-want!”)
i did have to look up はまる but i knew all the other words on my own!!!!
it was so fun seeing words i recognized especially higher level (higher relative to where i am, at least, i.e. more recently learned) kanji words like 場所 & 発見。noticing them in kana felt kind of like seeing your friend at a costume party and knowing it’s them without them telling you or something lol and i always get so excited seeing vocab words i know in the wild!! it feels great to recognize them naturally like that :)
#mine#in conclusion: fun!!!!! i'll keep going bc i really enjoy it so far#im kinda looking forward to getting to the part where i can grind for a bit because oooooomg so much reading. sometimes you just want to#chill. but anyway yeah#ohhhh you know whats gonna be fun....grovyle and dusknoir...i CANNOT wait to see how they talk in japanese#in general and how they talk to/about each other...ohohohoho#ooooh and dialga...in english all of the big legendaries like him and groudon and palkia etc. talk in all caps#but japanese has no capital letters...i wonder how they stylize legendary speech? maybe with katakana or something?#the more i think about what's coming the more excited i get lol this is so fun#also re: custom movesets i did verify all the moves before i changed anything so i know the moves that theyll both learn are good#but i didnt keep a list anywhere so its going to be a surprise to me what i get lol i get a little mini challenge#in the form of having to read the bio for a new move and figure out what it is and THEN decide what to do with it#and i had to customize them bc starters in this game have different stats and movesets than normal pokemon#so clefairy and gastly arent built to be starters and i had to change that#plus their evos. anyway yeah super cute despite the name dissonance honestly both of their sprites are adorable#pokemon fushigi no diary

what they dont tell u about tharjabelle is that it also creates the most insane statlines for their kids. 62 magic?!?! (with limit breaker i know)
#ann plays awakening#do not. mind their inventories.#im grinding all the kids rn its an ugly process#noire would obvs have the same stat cap as brady if she were in sage but#idk! i kinda want them to do different things. i still dk where her endgame class is gonna be tho#shes in valk cuz i liked the giant res stat (58?! oh marigenes…) but i might go dark flier long term#sorc is also an option but ive got laurent doing that and doing it better bc he has vantage access#normally i like keeping her in sniper but i just cant ignore the magic she gains from maribelle#anyways these arent the highest i could get magic in this game ik#i think it’s probably like pair miriel/tharja marry one of their kids with +mag then get morgan#but whatever. this is probably the highest magic i’ll see on this particular file anyways#ik awakening is more skill focused than fates in terms of meta but still. big number make me happy

anyone wanna come over next week and disassociate from this realty with me next week? if we're lucky we can clip into the berenstein bears universe for a few hours. i'll bring the snacks
#gonna try and distract myself with veilguard but i already know i'm going to be an anxious mess all day#it's all anyone is going to be talking about and the maga cult is out in full force rn with signs and flags everywhere cus im in a red stat#my actual county always goes blue but still my heartrate skyrockets whenever i see a red baseball cap these days#got jumpscared at the aquarium last weekend when a fam in trump merch came around the corner cus i thought they were gonna jump me#its just like covid where i was in a near constant state of fear whenever we went out to get groceries or something#not cus of the virius but cause of all the reports i kept seeing about asain's getting jumped because trump kept calling it the china virus#i was constantly looking over my shoulder when my bf and I went out because I could just tell instantly when someone was following him#the fox-newsers were not subtle when eying up my bf and trying to figure out what ethnicity he was under his mask#i kinda lost count of how many times I would yank him down another isle or lead him to the other side of the store saying I forgot somethin#it just became a normal part of going out which both depressed and upset me#but yeah kinda entering that mindset the closer we get to the 5th#i know my bf is going to want to watch the results real time but his parents will be staying with us during the election#and like his dad is a trump supporter which just kinda blows my mind because trump would not respect him at all

Every time I see those posts about the AO3 F/F to M/M ratios, all I can think is:
Okay, excellent point. But what if you just wrote it?
Like. Yeah, man, I'm sure it's discouraging to see raw numbers talking about how your ship doesn't get the rep it needs. But when you get down to numbers... sometimes the difference within fandoms is less than 500 more M/M works than F/F works. That's actionable. You can fill that gap with a fraction of the people liking / reblogging posts about F/F erasure.
Sometimes the gap is bigger. It's like, 1000 more works are tagged M/M. 2000, or more. Yeah, that's a big gap, but you could make it one less. If every person liking or reblogging a post about the disparity of ship fics on AO3, that number would shrink drastically, or outright disappear.
IDK. I write F/F. I write M/M too, as well as M/F. But I write F/F, and when I see that sorta post. It doesn't feel like a call to action. It feels like somehow, in some way, I'm not doing enough when I post up fanfiction for free about stuff I like.
It makes me feel like I should stop sharing my F/F work, that it doesn't matter, that people don't recognize the effort or love or time that goes into it. Even beyond that, I feel discouraged about the work I have put out, because thousands of words written all about an F/F pairing are only seen in that raw stat format.
"There's X M/M fics and Y F/F fics." Yes, I know, and that has to suck. But look at how many people wrote F/F fics! Have you commented on each of those F/F fics? Have you given kudos? Did you feel inspired to write or draw because of those F/F fics? That's what fandom is for. That's why we create. If that's not inspiring you to "close the gap" on those stats, I don't know what to say.
#personal talk#ao3 writer#ao3 stats#IDK. Man. Sometimes it feels like those posts are made in bad faith. Especially when there's no CTA. No encouragement to actually read the#—fics that exist. Massive reblog chains talking about X fandom or Y fandom not having enough F/F fics that don't background the characters.#Dude! That could be you! You could be on the front lines of this issue. You clearly care about it. A lot. You clearly are passionate about—#your ship getting the representation it needs. That is so fair and commendable. Why haven't you linked your favorite F/F ships? Why haven't#you recommended your favorite F/F writer? Why haven't you organized some F/F themed AO3 event all about writing ladies with ladies?#It can be so goddamn discouraging to write F/F at times. Not even because there's ' ' less engagement ' ' because that's not why I write it#I write F/F ships because I like them! They are fun to me! I like those characters and want to smoosh them together like dolls! But seeing—#post after post after post after post. Ragging on these stats. Taking screenshots of fandoms and their M/M to F/F ratios. How many of those#F/F fics did you even fucken read. How many of them did you even bother to slap kudos on. How many of those fics did you share with your—#friends on Discord or email to your buddies or talk about on your Tumblr? Like. People aren't writing F/F for you to consume. They're#—writing F/F to share what they like with the world. So maybe do the bare minimum and share that passion? IDK. It's really fucken hard.#Both to see this kinda thing and to articulate it. The problem feels like the solution is just so obvious. I saw a post with 18000 likes.#If every single one of those people wrote a 300w ficlet. Suddenly there would be 18000 F/F fics. How is this not mathing. Come on.

HELLO??????
#this does explain why i was so fucking winded like the last mile and a half... It's because I was running fucking 9:40s#And my heart rate was like sitting at 180!!!#This was an INSANELY flat run tho like 200ft total elevation change over 16 miles#But at the same time.... Damn I still have it????#I was feeling kinda bleh the first couple of miles and then i was feeling good and then I checked my watch for the first time @8#And then i was like. Hello???? Sub 10???? And then I guess i felt good and just kept doing that. Like?????#I thought about doing like another 4mi when I was like. Crossing the bridge I was like oh I could just go to the next one#And tbh i think my legs have it in me??#But would be a bizzare choice to go from a 12mi long run to like a TWENTY mile long run in like two weeks. I don't wanna get injured...#I really did have kind of a crappy running week (Killed my legs w/ 8 days on + hard frisbee game on horrid field Tues)#And i woke up with some ankle pain... But the run itself was amazinggggg#Exactly what I needed :)#I do need to actually register for my race and also. Make a training plan#Bc ive been fairly into my stats lately so... If i have one I might actually follow it....#ANYWAY!! /#BEAUTIFUL DAY!!! BEAUTIFUL RUN!!! HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!!!!#MARATHON NO3 I'M COMING FOR U!!!!!!!!#Tetrapod runs#Jfjfjfj my other concern was fueling bc all I had was a cliff bar but it was tbh totally fine#I'm thinking of trying to reconsider how I've done long run fuel thus far but idk...

Why on earth does the Wiki and searches about NukaWorld claim Preston becomes hostile if present for Taken for a Ride or spoken to after the player becomes Overboss??? I’ve played the entire DLC twice now, different PCs, different saves, regular and survival, and I took Preston both times for the DLC??? I never even got a ‘disliked’ from the man, except for being too forgiving to Harvey. He loved a lot of my sass at the Raiders?? And if I talked to him just would say I’d shown him I’m one of the good guys/repaid my trust in him. I mean, I’m sure if you agree to go Raider and like, kill settlers and shit. But I completed most of the questline short of taking over settlements or hurting innocents (took over the park, turned on power, etc) first save, and still completed grand tour and home sweet home on survival, before Open Season. I romanced the man in the overboss office yesterday before starting my raider killing spree. He never doubted I was just scoping out the place, which I was.
#fallout 4#r’s fo4 survival run#Nuka world#like I guess maybe if you’re like ‘hell yeah let’s go raider’ ifs different but if you’re like ‘wtf is going on I don’t want to be here’#(while proceeding w the quests) he has 0 negative reaction. maybe he needs to be at high affinity to trust you??? bc he was at besties w#both saves. but I kinda bet it’s the former and no one bothered to see if it’s your approach that changes it or smth#and tbh the wiki isn’t that accurate anyway after being taken over by Fandom#rip old fo4 wiki my belvoed. I miss you#also 0 problem with murdering raiders rofl I love he and Deacon don’t care if you kill someone evil even if allied#Deacon watching me shoot the guy who tried to get me to sell him a kid while the guy is friendly: 😎#also Preston doesn’t give dislikes for Chen usage?? thank god god bless I was in such fear going in bc I needed them in surival to make it#*chem#w my level and stats as they are. Fatman crit hits boss and takes only 1/3 of one of the 3 bosses hp bars down IN STEALTH & u know it’s gon#be a hell of a firefight

tbh part of me is kind of dreading malenia this time around. most other bosses ive taken on w this build hav been easier, n i feel like malenia is gonna nip my optimism in the bud
#ive got some pretty good stats for my build now i think#60 vig. 30 endurance. 50 strength. 60 dex. a little over 30 arcane#i kinda wanna get arcane up to 40#but i also feel like i should maybe invest in more mind bc i don’t hav a lot at all#should i respec a lil to put more into arcane and mind ?#id grind a bit so i can split the 10 strength points equally ..#i jst want enough fp to be able to summon tiche if it comes to it yk#mimic tear fucks but sometimes tiche has the specific skill set necessary for the job#i’ll b real by this point in the playthru im working the build specifically to tackle malenia#cause the way i see it. if i beat her once i can do it again#perhaps. we shall see#plum plays elden ring: mohg madness

I should post more here, but i just havent been playing ttrpgs at all lately and havent been having Ideas or anything. I could try to make fandom posts more often, but the dimension 20 fandom has gotten So Big since I was last a poster in it. I missed a single season like season five or something, and my horrible ADHD means i’ve been playing a very slow game of catchup. I try to watch a season if I catch it while it’s coming out but it still takes me a while, but i’ve skipped so many seasons in the process and I wanna go back and watch them but i never find the time anymore.
Especially because the dropout app on my phone is lowkey broken, if i play it Picture in Picture or while my screen is off for Just Audio, the app stops and i have to reopen it to resume, so i just keep the video open but i cant do anything else when i’m watching dropout cuz it closes, and i can’t just go desktop cuz my main podcast hours are when i’m walking to work. Is there a Spotify rss link? 
Anyway, i had a riz gukgak type url a few years ago, and then i totally deleted my entire main blog so. Actually, no, i just Moved??? I think i either forgot my password or- Oh no right, my DMs were broken and i got tired of it :(
Anyway, enough rambling, I was just reminiscing, I’m a littol stoned, but i’m really enjoying Burrow’s End. I’m on the finale rn but i opened tumblr and it closed and i havent reopened it yet cuz i Wanna Blog, and so i’m gonna get back to it in two minutes, but maybe I will try to post more :)
#sorry this poll post is so long#i think i’m gonna tag this cuz this is my roundabout way of trying to break back into here since Crown of Candy#dimension 20#a crown of candy spoilers#acoc spoilers#fantasy high#fh#dropout#i used to be like snailcat-statblock btw#i wasnt half a sonic blog back then#but i decided i wanted a sonic blog but didnt wanna commit too hard and i was out of ttrpg and so i only wanted half a That Blog#but now the ttrpg half is taking over. but i still wanna be chao themed#i love them i want a character to have a chao familiar so bad#i wanna stat out a chao#i started that a few years ago and i never could figure out if it was a beast or something else. like it’s kinda an alien is it aberration?#anyway. might decide to play online dnd again and see if anyone has got a free schedule for my stupid ass days off#thanks for reading my tags. you didnt have to. ok love you bye 💚

cyberpunkdreams review
TLDR
cyberpunk dystopic text-based game
lgbt+ friendly, i’m currently playing the game as a genderfluid bi masc-presenting character
meant to be played long-term, not a game to bang out in 20 hrs
made by one dev (correct me if i’m wrong), which is insanely impressive for a game that feels very high-quality
entirely free to play! not pay to win either!
I’ve been playing this game for some days now. I initially encountered it while looking for Fallen London stuff - pretty happy coincidence.
The game itself, without any spoilers, is a cyberpunk dystopic future set in post-apocalyptic America. It uses the same action system that Fallen London uses and a lot of its UI is also very reminiscent of FL. However, it distinguishes itself from its inspiration with its action economy.
In FL, without any subscriptions, playing completely free, you have 20 actions that are used as you go through the world - exploring, stealing, observing, running, etc. In CPD, the limit is 50. Yeah.
I found my first couple days in CPD more fulfiling and engaging than FL, largely due to the feeling that what I was doing with my character mattered. In FL, it feels hard to actually care about what’s happening because I know in a handful of turns I’ll be unable to continue. If I finish a questline in that time, it’d be a surprise. If I can even find a questline in that time, that’s a bigger surprise. I often feel like I’m just spinning my wheels, getting no traction, grinding stats that mean nothing and do nothing because I’m already done with my allowed playtime before I can get a grasp on them.
In CPD, I was able to get through a significant portion of the introduction quests in my first go. When I waste actions doing silly things, it doesn’t feel as bad. I could start a quest, finish another quest, and other side errands before I run out of actions, and when I finish with my economy for the day, it feels like I actually did get to play and interact and engage with the game. The starting portion of the game giving you a guided quest feels a lot better than when I signed up for FL and wasted all my actions trying to understand wtf the game was even offering.
If you’re interested in text-based games, if you liked FL and want something similar, if you enjoy cyberpunk, then I really recommend trying this out. It’s entirely free to play with an optional credits system that gives you access to certain things, but I genuinely don’t feel like the loss of this “premium” worsens the gaming experience. There is ALSO a subscription that gives you a slightly higher action count and imo, as someone who DID subscibe to FL to see if being an Exceptional Friend improved the feeling of the game, I think my money is better spent subscribing to CPD. Better action economy, no payment scheme to enjoy the in-game content, the game itself feels overall more accessible as a new player.
#cyberpunkdreams#game review#it genuinely saddens me that being an ef felt kinda like a waste of money. like ok 20 more actions but i dont actually get any access#to the stories#which makes free fallen london feel kinda like a gacha. not saying it is but rather#like the game genuinely expected me to grind stats without even interesting questlines to go with it#cpd is also grindy but it gives u lots of ways to restore ur actions for FREE#if you cant play one day u can store all ur actions and use them for a longer gaming session#and while i havent played cpd for very long i have not seen a lot of credit-locked content#whereas fl felt like i couldn't go one card without smthg being locked#which rly sucks bc you can literally SEE the amount of content being withheld bc u dont want to play ten bucks per questline

has anyone done a poll for where six idiots tumblr fans are from..
#my guess is biggest percentage british duh. then australia because everyone my age watched horrible histories when we were kids#i dont know anyone from new zealand but i kinda assume its similar there?#see i dont know how popular they are in europe all i know is that my bestie from germany said hh didnt air there#but idk i feel like theres probably a lot of europeans here#i have no idea how many are american. and i have no idea how you got here#and then also asia etc idk#ANYWAY I dont want to make the poll because i dont know how to group things LMAO - it'd be easiest to just do continents i guess#i just like stats and i like learning about differences between countries#shut up ulrike#six idiots#bbc ghosts#yonderland

it's weekend. this means i can either chop off most of my hair, or clean my apartment (im not going to be able to do both, both because of energy reasons and because when i start cleaning i turn into a perfectionist and will vaccuum clean the same spot in a room like 3 times before im satisfied) and i am trying to figure out which one i should do
#ramblings#i kinda want to cut my hair tho#and dye it blue and orange#but we'll see#if i start cutting it i need to clean up a bunch of hair as well tho#but also i need a hair cut i have the worst case of grown out short hair ever#why does short hair have that realllllllly terrible state where it's short but still too long to look good i hate it#i always look like i have a bowl cut when my hair reaches stat stage and i cant take it i look like a dork
