Halfway in and this book is so fabulous…. It’s so critical and honest and exacting in the critique of how identities are marketed as consumable but so empathetic and loving towards the subjects involved
#Books#great vacation read#But sen really does dive straight into issues around identity as marketable/not marketable and overly simplified#Issues I’ve been thinking about with literature and the sale of diverse identities in general

#yeah i went on vacation for a week and this is the thing i am choosing to return on#i'm reading the first megamorphs book. the one with the veleek. just in case you were wondering. rip rachel's bear arms#tbh both of them *also* chop a lot of arms off of side characters but it's a mixed bag whether it buffs out or not#ax is so good at lopping off arms you would have made a great shinigami king#he has idolized-older-dead-brother trauma and everything#if they could only figure out which two legs to put the hakama on#maybe they can just throw a haori over everything and call it a day

Uh. Hmm. Hi. Long time no see.
I’m still alive! I disappeared because, in order:
Homework
Vacation!
Post-vacation class catchup
“Oh wow it’s been a while, better put off getting online until I have time to sit down and scroll back through everything.”
Homework
[narrator voice] Twenty-eight days later…
Anyway pls let me know if there’s anything I missed in the last month.
#when I’m online I always read my whole dash back to the last time I was online#that is…not feasible right now#Kayt.txt#vacation was GREAT though#also I had a birthday and my mother—who knows me well—added surprise dinosaurs to the cake

#that song is number one on my on repeat NOBODY look at me . christ#im like. a little over halfway into cheers its fun#guy that says hes watching a show (night court) when hes still only two episodes in. i will watch more eventually i Promise#rewatching twin peaks is incredibly funny at this stage in my life bc i have the horrifying realization that im older than laura palmer#and i also wonder with each episode why in gods name was i watching this as a kid and it was my favorite show. what a time#as someone who watches movies every day letterboxd is great for the fun of logging them. reading reviews not so much#my poor poor screenplay ive been working on this idea for . wow 5 years#vacation is gonna be so fun and its what i really need after a stressful year. california my beloved#my dvd project let me explain. like obviously i can hear but i Need subtitles i am not going to understand what people are saying#and some dvds just don't have subtitles or closed captions which is when i download the movie and the subtitles and merge them into an mkv#right now they're just on a usb but again ideally i plan to make my own dvds#anyway . again don't feel like you gotta do this if i tagged you#and thank u again daley for tagging me!!#AND IF I DIDNT TAG YOU OR FORGOT YOU CAN DO THIS TOO . i should say

I've been playing slitherio these past few days, and after some time messing around with nicknames and my own experience with the stuff, I've realized anger is something very easy to weaponize. On my second attempt of having "trans rights" as a nickname I killed a huge ~5k point worm as a teenie tiny 200 point worm simply because it was so desperate to kill me specifically. Anger makes your life harder, but it also makes people really unwise. I fucking bet this is in "the art of war", even though I haven't read it.
#Slitherio#Slither.io#If all these russian and pro war bastards can make me angry I damn bet I can try and make them mad too lol#It's such a pity pride flags aren't available in slitherio idc if the creators hate lgbt or not this is a great game mechanic#Users are easy to miss and if I'm a 6000 point long 💕🔵⚪🔵💕 worm people will go to me to fuck me up lol#Did I mention that I got to like 6200 barely attacking other worms myself? I don't think I did#I didn't count how much I attacked though so it doesn't count I should do a full defence kills run#If I play optimally I can get to a very big number I feel#You guys should try it too it's actually surprisingly fun if you're the kind of person to let go of things#Again though one good rule I learned these past few days is if someone's nickname makes you angry -> turn the other way#Being named 'trans rights' made me a target but also people attacking me were so much sloppier than when I was named 'meow'#It might be largely bc of the sheer number of attempts but hey. I've been there & I lost a few times specifically bc I was mad at some ppl#//interesting#Is the art of war a hard read though? Has anyone read it? I've heard it's fun#Oh yeah the mandatory vacation is messing with me a lot how'd you guess that?#Just don't think what this constant and never ending aggression towards a slogan in support of someone's existence in an online game says#about what it's like living in the world for these people#I've been mad at this at first but I'm starting to dig the shitty/absent censorship of both bigoted and also gay things. No hear me out...

"That's," Forrest broaches, "quite the outfit you have on."
"Thanks," Cecil replies. "You, too. I wanted to try matching with what other people in town have on. Blinding colors. Ghastly, even."
"Ha, yeah. Well, it is the trend now, I guess."
"What year is it?" Cecil asks.
"Hm?" Forrest starts to smirk.
"What year is this?" Cecil asks.
"Only '87. What year is it where you're from?"
"There isn't one right now," Cecil answers.
"Ohhh," Forrest hums. "I see. That sounds like it'd be great for someone's complexion."
"It is! Except when it isn't. Depending on the time of day, people can turn to ash in an instant."
"Well, no wonder you're visiting here, if you're into people turning to ash in an instant."
#killer frequency#forrest nash#cecil palmer#wtnv#ohhh my gosh Edit bc i'm dumb the comment about helping with complexion is bc forrest is assuming cecil is pretending that time stopped#a la aging has paused as well idk if this was a clear joke to anyone else outside of my own head#tbqh there's this youtube/vturber penned nick nocturne who isn't playing as a radio host but like. a host to presentations in a sense#and the backstory with that character is also that he's a supernatural being + actually a monster. big bipedal cat. furry#but bc their voices are startlingly similar as well i have made-up interactions btwn them too.#and it starts with forrest saying That's a great looking costume you have on.#genuine monster cat: It's not a costume :3 + forrest: Sure. :)#in my head cecil is visiting gallows creek bc carlos found a way to travel to this time and wants to study abnormal readings there#so cecil is essentially just the accompanying spouse treating the partner's work trip like a vacation#nick would genuinely just be investigating another mystery. Q: is there a cryptid in gallows creek A: yes. obviously. several#forrest in the straightman role of a comedy duo where the other one is paranormal somehow. precious

cliopher and His Radiancy really do make the perfect duo. They’re both incredibly emotionally repressed and terrible at communicating their wants and needs to the people they care about
#cliopher has FINALLY done SOME of the yelling at his friends and family that he has desperately needed to do for actual decades#unlearning the emperor’s emotional repression: like three weeks of vacation and 150 pages#unlearning cliopher’s emotional repression: either decades or centruries depending on where you count it and 500 pages and counting#his radiancy needed a hug but cliopher needs one single family member to tell him that they’re proud of him and he needs it SO BADLY#I keep waiting for the catharsis and I’m getting *pieces* of it which has been great but he really just needs to yell at everyone more#get it out of his system#@ cliopher aren’t you tired of being nice. don’t you just wanna go apeshit#hands of the emperor#stars reads lays#I am having many more thoughts but some of them will require more time and a keyboard#and I’m too busy reading

#it's 1am and i'm depressed and don't want to go to bed#there's such an unbelievable amount of century-defining tragedy and horror in the world rn#and i know that’s always true but jfc we know about so much more of it simultaneously now#like i'm supposed to be chill and functional in the face of war pandemic climate change forever chemicals micro plastics and fascism?#and and and?#i'm supposed to smile and ask follow-up questions when people tell me about vacations to Hawaii#rather than shaking them and saying holy fuck stop doing that please learn about the ramifications and historical context of your actions#i'm supposed to smile and give a measured response when a new coworker asks my other coworker and me#when they can/SHOULD use generative AI *for work purposes*#rather than screaming and throwing articles at them about the environmental impact of LLM bullshit#and that's all large scale#that's not getting into the fact that there's a growing family chilliness over refusal to communicate about I/P shit#or the fact that my mom is dying slowly and hates it and is worsening her relationship with my siblings little by little#or the fact that I'm peeling away at my sanity trying to process a divorce and get healthcare for my cat and dental care for myself#or the fact that it takes hours of research to find DISH SOAP THAT DOESN’T KILL THE MICROBIOMES OF THE LOCAL WATER SUPPLY#(10/10 recommend 'blueland' for that if you're reading btw)#like i'm painfully aware of the back-patting level of efficacy that i have for buying different soap and going to the farmer's market#but there's only so much i can do so i have to try to do what i can right? but it's so little and everything is so much#and my mental health is a mess; the fact that my particular neurotype is known to get more volatile with age scares the shit oit of me#like it's this bad at 33 and it gets WORSE?#my job is great for personal privilege but so *so* meaningless and redundant#and how tf do i look at all of this and not feel fucking hopeless?#i can distract myself with my garden but the candide approach was myopic even in the 17th century so it's hard to justify now#I'm so tired#just... fuck man#tag rant#i should delete this but I'll forget if you read this far i hope it wasnt damaging to your mental health#i just had to let off the brain scream pressure somewhere

do you think mob and mabel would get along?
YES.
for the sake of this ask we're ignoring the language barrier; Mabel borrowed some translator thing from Ford so they can talk to each other, it's fine.
Mob is friends with Tome, so he's used to hanging out with Weird Girls who talk a mile a minute, so even though Mabel would be a little overwhelming at first I think they'd be able to settle into a good dynamic! Mabel simultaneously would and wouldn't make a big deal about his psychic powers. Like, she'd get super excited about them but she gets super excited about everything so she'd be like "Oh WOW you have psychic powers?? That's so cool! I have a pig!! Do you want to meet him??"
Also they both love fluffy sweaters!! She could teach him how to knit! He'd be very bad at it at first but he's very stubborn and she's very encouraging and he'd end up having a really good time!
#conversations#tho u know who would REALLY get along like a house on fire?#mabel and teru#the sheer number of things they would bedazzle together#the mind boggles#growing up is optional#mabel pines is not my queen because we live in a democracy!#mp100#(when i was on my Read Every MP100 Fanfiction kick i actually found a mob/gf crossover#that tragically only had a couple of chapters posted#but it was very fun#the premise was that the kageyamas came to Gravity Falls on vacation#and then couldn't leave bc the weirdness bubble trapped them inside#and there was clearly some bigger plot stuff in the works that never got posted#but the important thing is that Ritsu and Dipper got to be nerdy and theorize together while Mabel painted Mob's nails#a great time)

“a sicks’ dream come true; coming soon to fanfic channels near you”
#presenting my cursed sleep-deprived brainworm of the day: nagisa gets sold to ft4 for uni fees#or well. more like they’re looking for a live-in assistant dude. thing. or sth. idk#and papa shiranami just sells his son off bc ‘hey it’s literal free real estate!!! plus he’s gonna get paid for the entire deal so why not?’#nagisa initially pitches a fit at his dad a la gamushara yelling scene bc ‘dad!!!!!! how could you just sell me off to some strangers?!!!!’#‘shhhh son; think of the free housing. in ✨t o k y o✨. stuff’s expensive there yk’ ‘but still!!!!!’#so nagi sulkily packs his bags and heads out; trying to motivate himself with thoughts of ‘hey at least i’ll get to see hiyori more often’#then he arrives at the train station and sees our favourite 5-man non-idol gang… and promptly passes out#when he comes to… poor guy finds himself right smack in the middle of a hugeass canopy bed#with dai sitting smugly by the side like ‘the great me carried you back mans. you’re welcome ;)’ with a tip of his cool fedora#and that’s when nagi realises that 1) it’s not a dream and that he actually has to live with his oshis now. and 2) damnnnn this bed is soft#cohabitation shenanigans happen. as they would seeing as the entire gang + rio’s niece live together in this oddly huge megu-owned penthouse#plus free bi-weekly vacations to megu’s family villa bc they can never spend a waking moment without each other#and nagi finds it strange that the group is oddly accomodating of his uni schedule when it concerns his job tasks and such…#or that they collab with lxl (hi hiyori!!!) way more than they should typically be…#but he brushes it off when rio asks him to cook with him or sth idk i mean how often do you get to cook with your oshi????#and idk eventually the jig is up and it’s revealed that hiyori was the one who was accidentally behind the whole thing#like a ‘sorry nagisa i told uchida that you’d be moving here too but lxl were there the entire time and they went and got ft4 to buy you’#or something kinda thing. idk. bc everything has to be lxl’s fault; even when they’re just lurking in the bg#i’m def gonna regret this later lmao. it’s almost 2.30 in the am; i have not written in months; and i’ve never read a sold to 1.d. fic ev er#this is the kind of cosmic horror that only sleep-deprived brains can cook up ig…….. oh wells#it is suiyoubi my dudes#the dude from gamushara
