Everyone loves dark academia and cottagecore and themes of death and decay and being weird and mysterious until I have stray bones in my house and teeth on my shelf. Then I’m too weird for the weirdos. Too spooky for the so-called goths. You bitches can’t handle my bonus teeth

I just realized something.

As far as I'm aware, Pearl and Cuttlefish are the only rappers that we know of.

Yeah, other characters can rap, but not everyone is a chef, y'know? Plenty of rappers sing and vice versa. But those two are the only self-proclaimed rappers that have the preference of rap when a given opportunity presents itself.

What do they have in common? Octolings.

My new hc is that rap came from Octarians struggling with living in the domes, not only removed from society at large but forced into a much worse place that's falling apart

I hate that peppers are technically fruit so count these as spite fueled creations

At home all over Fructera's shores - the Pepper Crabs!

Looking for something actually fruit-y?

Found a little northern crab spider hiding in my peach foxgloves waiting to pounce on some bees with its venomous bite.

I don't think grinding for currency is a good way to keep people engaged with Sky; on one hand TGC acknowledges that candle running has become a chore, but on the other, the ways they said they thought about to keep players active for at least half or more of an event revolves around grinding (either with the high prices or by adding yet another currency).

Also I can't put it into words well without sounding like I'm reaching but is anyone else confused by how AFK farmers were talked about ? Like I get the frustration because I've been in a server where everyone was asleep while trying to open doors, but I don't think "exploits" are the root of the problem.

Which leads me into my next comment, there's this push to make us social that quickly becomes suffocating when you're more introverted and don't always have the social batteries for that. Sky is a social game so I find the expectation that I should be helpful and courteous to strangers reasonable, but expecting and forcing players to constantly interact with eachother becomes exhausting, especially since you can't properly curate your experience (the block system is wack and you can't stop someone from teleporting to your server once you became friends) so it feels overwhelming, especially with people that get clingy that may range from young children that don't mean to be like that (which I can tolerate) to folks that talked to you once, so now you're their therapist/partner... And I find it also affects closer bonds too ? There's this general unease around enforcing boundaries, I have to reassure new friends that they can tell me they're busy or can't hang out for any other reason, since I sometimes teleport to them just out of curiosity to see what they're doing.

It's just my two cents of course, but I think that there should be proper ways to enforce boundaries before players are pushed to talk to eachother if you want a majority of them to happily do so.

Being deadnamed, I always kinda understood it before I came out, but now.... I GET IT. Its weird its hurtful its complicated, its wrong.

I talked to an old friend, love her dearly, she said my name my chosen beautiful name. And it was music to my ears. She knew me before i came out and I've known her a long time. But she gets it.

I talked to my mother, I'm still her son, I'm still [Deadname], I havent come out to her yet, I want to wait to do that in person, but it still hurts. It doesnt fit me anymore its a loose fitting shirt, covered in muck and I get why we call it a Deadname now, because that name is dead to me.

HAPPY WEEKEND YALL!!!!!!!

P.S. to all my fellow trans folk out there, big hugs.
