#get this chick a job

My skin crawls each time *without fail* listening to Love in Paradise, but more specifically at the part where Calypso calls him “Ody”…

Because well, no! You don’t get to call him that FREAK.

Hi leirdle rain! What do you say to people who think it’s strange or sad to adopt elderly cats? Whenever I suggest it to people who want low-energy cats they look at me like I’m crazy.

I don't blame people at all who don't want senior cats. There are so many reasons someone might not want a senior cat, and the grief of losing them so soon is extremely valid. There are lots of younger, low energy cats in the world that need homes. (That being said you should definitely avoid kittens and look for young adults, otherwise you're setting yourself up for failure.) So while I think it's something most people should at least consider, I also don't blame people who don't want to adopt seniors.

In terms of people telling me what I'm doing is sad / weird, it honestly doesn't bother me if people feel that way. The people who truly know me have seen how happy this makes me. And even if they don't entirely "get it" they understand it makes me happy and they admire what I'm doing for these cats. If they really have a problem with the kind of cats I adopt for myself they're not worth my time.

(I ended up going off on a tangent that is only loosely related so I'm gonna add a read more to this!)

The biggest issue I have is with people judging me for decisions regarding euthanasia / quality of life. It's almost always "oh that cat needs to be euthanized", but I've also received the occasional "it's too soon to euthanize that cat". I'm not going to say these comments don't bother me, because frankly they're rude, but also they don't really get to me. I am the only person who lives with these cats so I am the only one who sees how they are living on a day to day basis. Plus I've been doing this for several years now. I trust myself to make the right decision. And I know if I falter and I allow one of my animals to suffer I have a wonderful veterinarian who is going to let me know I'm being unfair to my pet.

Off to find a wonderful elf in my favourite place. And kill stuff.

Oop. Found her. @rangers-arecool

Guys working at an ice cream shop sounds really fun until it's yooper summer and there's six families crammed into your eensy weensy lobby and there's only two of you working behind the counter. Also you have to memorize the orders lest you embarass yourself asking them "I'm sorry sir, what did you want?" (literally the WORST).

Also it's old fashioned as HELL in there. Cash only. There's an ATM but it has some crazy upcharge. I actually love cash but JESUS I am so bad at getting the prices down into the calculator (I just don't have them memorized yet.... it will come). Terrifying sitting there with some Marine Corps vet staring over your shoulder.

I think that a lot of people get into this problem where, with the aim to help and compassionate desires, they make the mistake of assuming that the answer to their problems will be an answer to everyone else's, and that people must be pushed, even against their consent, to agree with their course of action as the only way out of misery.

I like that my hair is super fuckin messy but I don't like that it's no longer green. I'm genuinely so sad about it. (◕︵◕)

God, I wish my mom’s love language wasn’t acts of service. it’s made Mother’s Day a living hell

[classicjdiesandgoestohell]

agh!!!! ive started getting calls from the places i applied to so like im glad but im really like..... Im just working retail/food service since thats what u get right out of highschool im ok with that. but i don't think places like that will want me to mask? i have heard stories from people working being told not to mask to be more "friendly" to the customers and like im not going to do that. that is a deal breaker entirely for me. i mask because my dad is extremely immunocompromised and if he gets covid, he is more likely to die than survive. /I/ am immunocompromised. even before i was vulnerable ive never stopped masking. ackkk

Happy Valentine's Day to all who celebrate! I decided to make picrews of my three F/O's respective OC beloveds, to better give myself a way to imagine them together. :D (They're likely to change, of course, but for now this will do!)

The OCs under the cut...

This is Camomile, Belial's lover! She's a Draph* librarian in Port Breeze and, like Lunalu, enjoys writing "storybooks" (fanfiction) about her faves, but unlike her isn't brave enough to put them out in public yet. Despite her obvious "SSR character" energy, she's very shy.

She and Belial met due to him having an overdue library book, and after a period of flirting and her ghosting him in a panic for a few years, they finally got together. He's become her muse, for better or worse, and Belial is slowly but surely getting her to explore her desires more. Especially the ones she can't say out loud. (There will probably be some overlap between their relationship and his with Djeeta in my fics XD)

Valentine's date plans: a romantic dinner date, Belial's treat but he gets to tell her what to wear.

*Yes, those are meant to be her horns.

This is Doll, Legato's...well, I guess the easiest way to explain would be "his sex android made as a 'love experiment' he grew attached to". XD;

In-universe and out, she was designed as an answer to Legato's inability to understand love/fear of humans and to ponder "consensual dehumanization". Born with difficulty walking and infatuated with Legato, she eagerly underwent the intense modifications needed to fully become a "sentient doll for his pleasure/to practice kindness", to the point of losing 99% of her memories. She was designed to be handled with care. Not pictured (oops): her "on switch" in the form of glasses made of SEEDS ship parts.

Initially made just for sex (she even came with her own tablet, app and charger), these days Legato has modded her so they can eat together.

Valentine's date plans: Most likely to order in. Legato found a dessert stall that made "fancy pudding" (the kind made in pretty jars) and covertly splurged.

And last but not least, Rose! She's the newest OC, Vash's girlfriend in an AU timeline where Badlands Rumble just wandered off onto it's own thing separate from the '98 anime.

As mentioned before, she's a modded catgirl that runs a cat cafe in a small town that Vash frequents. Their meeting is still under construction--it could be anywhere from "he was a customer" or "he did the 'I'm gonna be late~' thing and crashed into her on her way to work", but either way they're together now, and that's what matters. :D She finds Vash's horny antics a little too charming for her own good (she'll eventually find them funny too), but she also worries about him a lot. (Vash in this AU keeps petering between being a funny yandere or just his usual self, because unlike Meryl Rose isn't good with guns...)

Valentine's date plans: Vash will probably forget and then nyoom over to her apartment as fast as he can, carrying roses and howling in despair. "I DIDN'T FORGET, BABY, WAIT FOR MEEEEE"

Me: *explains that the reason I'm acting the way I am is because I don't feel good, only mentioning it because my brother has brought attention to my behavior*

My brother: clearly you're just complaining and it can't be that bad, I have had it so much worse all week long. Get a job and then you can complain
