Playing an OLD OLD game (my favoritest game ever) for a little distraction.

And hey, in this game - that I doubt anyone who follows me has ever even heard of because gods alive it was a niche hit back in 1992 ffs - you can rename the hero and the heroine.

So >.>

Possible AU idea to be had too. Not that I NEED another WIP - or even a full on AU either XD

the "i REAAAALLY might be aromantic" thoughts are coming back aaaaa

my main issue is: as i'm slowly coming to terms with that, i'm also dealing with my commitment issues and realizing i might finally feel comfy being in a long-term relationship with my bf

so these really are two conflicting realizations to be having in parallel

like

am i actually aromantic or am i just autistic and having a hard time identifying my feelings? is what i'm feeling romance? but i've never felt like the books or movies describe it! maybe asking friends will help? but nobody seems able to properly describe how being in love feels! how do i knowwwww

(also my bro told me to compare to how i figured out i was ace to help myself but I LITERALLY CANT REMEMBER HOW IT HAPPENED AAAAA) (i might ask my aroace friend if they have some advice)

So I saw him and decided he's amazing. I'm not open to any opinions otherwise.

(here's the sketch I did in paper first)

It's to my understanding that

hmf!sans belongs to both @aka-indulgence and @llamagoddessofficial

Might just be bias talking but somewhere out there in a universe where meljayvik is canon, mel also has sevika and lest as her gfs. Self-indulgent? Yeah pretty much.

okay so for context me and @duckwithablog have this inside joke that sonic the hedgehog is mark and wallter's marriage/divorce therapist /counselor (yes the fast, blue hedgehog has a license for this shut up its funny/silly)

We were bored and just drew wallter and mark interacting + dr sonic back and fort

Here is the dramatic story of Wallter and Mark + Sonic told in 5 parts (illustrated by both me and duck through messenger)

1. They appear

2. Forced proximity

3. Counseling is in session

4. Uh oh.

5. Ok enough time out for the BOTH of you!!!!!

The End

A wip, except we had some disturbing revelations about Coda in last night's session and I'm having some Thoughts

Girl you would LOVE "Day Shift." It's a hilarious and actually pretty well done vampire movie. It's has Jamie Foxx in it and... Snoop Dogg. Yes. Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg is a vampire hunter. I knew nothing about the movie and literally screamed when he showed up on screen. 😂

Someone at an old job asked why I wanted to write up the meeting minutes for our team and I said 'i wanna control the narrative' and they were like 'what' and I pointed out that no one was gonna remember what we said in six months and so my interpretation of the meeting would dictate the assumed reality of what happened

"none of you ever send corrections when I offer the draft so y'all have consented to my version"

"we don't read that shit"

"you must trust me implicitly to create our shared reality that's so sweet"

That's how several coworkers decided I was a supervillain and how I learned several coworkers didn't understand record keeping as like a CONCEPT

Really interesting thing I glimpsed on rednote today

I think We- we’re developing international class consciousness 

[weirdo-from-bonesborough]

"lol tiktok users would rather learn mandarin than come to tumblr" yeah man that's crazy. who would have thought that people from the video-based dopamine-machine app wouldn't decide to join the text- and image- based no-algorithm website?

[aromantic-goldfishdeactivated202]

I find it so funny, in light of TikTok’s imminent American demise, that even now they aren’t considering moving to tumblr. The last two social media refugee crises (Twitter -> X and whatever happened with Reddit) prompted a wave of wide-eyed new baffled tumblr users to flood this app and yet last I heard all of the tiktokers are flooding en-masse a Chinese social media app. That is entirely in Mandarin. Instead of moving to tumblr.

[never-quite-buried]

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

Queued right up for it
