i made a friend the other day it was a little baby assassin bug
#at first i thought it was a small stickbug or something on account of being green and having those big bendy legs and moving slow#so i was doing like butterfly knife tricks with this guy because i love stickbugs#later i found out that not only was it actually an assassin bug but assassin bugs have an extremely painful bite#me and bro are cool though#lives in my houseplant corner now#hopefully eating thrips and aphids and mealybugs and whatever else#bugs and spiders and etc are always welcome in my house if they pay rent by eating smaller ones#bugs#insects#cw bugs#?

[ID: Digital artwork featuring a collection of ocs with arthropod familiars. The 1st image is a lineup of 4 adults, including (left to right): A ducky isopod man named Tito Chen with a pompadour, sunglasses, and flashy suit, a shorter man named Dante-Enriquez Rivera with a toadbug familiar, curly hair in a bun, facial hair, and suspenders, a person named Blizzard Dunkley with a buzz-cut, agrias butterfly familiar, long blue coat, red-and-blue glasses, and large earrings, and finally a woman named Yolanda Sali with a harvestman familiar, in a nurses coat, stethoscope around her neck. Next drawing features 2 new adults, the first of which is named Maikel Miguel Patagara, who has multi-colored hair, prominent freckles, overalls and a prosthetic on their right foot, alongside a cayenne tick familiar. The second iteration of vim has eye shadows and an unhappier expression, and two prosthetic for each foot, seemingly home-made unlike the previous one. Zi is also wearing a necklace with a giant cat-eye type jewel, alongside a coat that’s on the 2nd person in the drawing - a little note mentions that this is xyr look “after Ireneo died”. Ireneo (Maria) Ressa, the 2nd person, has short grey hair, a long, fluffy coat, black cloth gloves, and some vitiligo, alongside a sowbug familiar. He's holding a notebook, pen tucked behind eir ear, and the 2nd iteration shows them without the coat. The final drawing is a doodle dump of Ireneo and Maikel mostly, showing such things as: them at a bar, Ireneo’s arm around Maikel’s shoulders as she says, “Hey me & my partner saw you from across the bar and we think your vibe sucks ass. Can we beat you up”, them kissing, Maikel at a pottery wheel while Ireneo watches, their familiars with hearts around them, and finally Maikel holding a phone up to their ear and saying, “Hey could you come pick me up they’re pelting me with rotten fruit in the town square again”. End ID]
Been thinking about my bug familiar story again

#Fifteen episode 2. Mmmmmmhhhhhh#The animation quality DOES get worse. This episode shows it lol#So many static frames stretching for so long... I feel so sorry for the animators.#I still stand by the fact that if studios can't provide enough budget or time to their animators seasons simply shouldn't be released.#But after all who am I to talk...#The scene of Dazai shooting at the soldier makes my blood freeze. Rimbaud throwing books in the fire is equally upsetting#Like I /know/ it's an anime about literature with constant metafiction references–#and that this too has a symbolic meaning and is *supposed* to be upsetting but that said.#Seeing whole books being thrown in the fire is such a disturbing sight that calls for such a visceral response in me 😭😭😭#The amv opening is nice! Makes me even more bitter about season 5 one lmao. Of the kind#“not only we had to get a amv opening (((while we deserved a wholly ss/kk focused opening)))‚ we even got a bad amv ending at that”#Mmmmhhhh I hateeeeeee how they handled the Sheep 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Seriously this is just another bug instance of#“me and the author have WHOLLY different views of what human nature is like”#I just... Don't think... Children joining together in an hostile environment would act like that. I'm so much more of a t/pn kind of guy.#Children who come together to survive would protect each other and especially would trust each other. Why is there such a big lack of trust#Why doesn't Shirase trust Chuuya? Why doesn't Chuuya trust Shirase (with handling more information)? It's just dumb#It's dumb. It sounds stupid from the very plot aspect that Chuuya would act so shady and suspicious with the Sheep instead of being open–#about what his course of action is. It's like he was trying to have them turn on him. It's stupid of Shirase to mistrust Chuuya–#when in eight years he never gave them any reason to doubt of him.#And I know right as I'm writing this that someone is going to read it and think “you're completely missing on the unbalance of power that–#creates these dynamics of lack of trust” but the thing is exactly that I don't see why that unbalance of power would ever come to be!#They're all just kids. They're aware of that. If Chuuya never had malicious intentions towards Shirase‚ I don't see why he would ever fear–#his betrayal. Likewise‚ I don't see why Shirase and the other Sheep members would ever be so manipulative and disrespectful towards–#Chuuya if he's been nothing but kind to them (and we have no reason to think otherwise)?#It all comes down to: I think people are inherently good and willing to help each other. The author thinks not lmao. It is what it is#But I wish you could see t/pn. Where kids are constantly trying to outwit each other in order to OUT-SACRIFICE THEMSELVES for the others lo#I love t/pn it's my life... I miss it#random rambles#And if anyone would like to argue that Dazai specifically set them off to betray each other... Yes I DO understand that's what the story–#is suggesting. I just don't think Dazai - for how good. and infallible he is - is enough to scrape long-term relationships of trust.

Oh, travel ask! Did you make that call (i think it was?) about if they were cool with your dad in the spa for his tattoos?
Oh, I didn't think I'd get travel asks! I'm always happy to talk about travel, haha.
I had to fuckin SEARCH, tbh. I did find a phone number, but I don't have great hearing so I struggle with phone calls sometimes. I always prefer to communicate via text when possible. (I also know a little JSL, but that wasn't really helpful either lmao.) I kept looking for emails or question forms at the tourism board for the little onsen town.
Eventually, I went to their IG and sent them a DM in Japanese like "okay, we're American, we're visiting, and my dad has a couple small tattoos! are there any inns in town/public baths that will allow him in?"
(The fact that we're visibly non-Japanese was actually useful information here; people offer visible foreigners a lot more leeway with this rule because they know you're operating off of different cultural standards. Japanese tattoos are often evidence of, if not criminal activity, then... I guess a person choosing not to visibly separate themselves from people involved in that lifestyle. (Yakuza, etc.) But if they know you're coming from a very different framework, they won't feel that you're trying to frighten/offend anyone. It's kind of complicated, I guess.)
And I'd kind of resigned myself to getting no answer because the IG was not often updated, but I did finally get an answer!!! We were really lucky because only two inns out of the entire town did allow tattoos and by chance I'd chosen one of them. Phew!
That said, I'd kind of worked a backup plan into the reservations if they weren't going to let him in day-of. I booked an inn that had a private bath you could book! So no one would even see the tattoos. :)
More and more ryokan and public baths are allowing tattoos, especially when they're on foreigners, but we're still bringing coverup bandages just in case. Sometimes they're fine with it as long as you cover them up.
#the idea of anyone finding my father's tattoos scary is... kind of laughable tbh#one of them is just straight-up little totoros so...#one is a zipper tab that he had placed at the bottom of a large scar as a joke#to make his cancer surgery scar look like a big zipper#and one he got on his shoulder when he was in New Zealand#apparently he went to a Maori tattoo artist and was like#'I love your art but idk what's culturally respectful as a white person so can you help me choose something'#and the guy talked to him a while and found out dad's an avid fisherman so he gave him a stylized fish hook on his shoulder#and that's it. :)#the travel bug#replies

a field of white, three-bladed wind turbines at night, seen through a car's windshield. deep blue sky. the image is distorted by VCR static. white text reads:
[021] THE BALANCE. A CALLER FEELS WISTFUL. THE HOST WATCHES WINDMILLS.
listen here, or anywhere you find your podcasts. transcript under the cut:
[static, radio tuning]
[Traveling Sales Rep: Don’t touch that dial! We��ll be right back, after these short messages.] [static, radio tuning]
[click]
Hello and welcome to Thin Places Radio. I’m your host,
and it is the middle of the night. But don’t worry. You’re not alone.
[Thin Places theme]
I’m coming to you awed from my studio, which is what I like to call this silent, endless field of windmills I’ve found myself at the foot of. I am smaller even than the dot at the center of the blades. Every second, they blink red, then go dark again. Red. Black. Red. Black. There. It’s like they’re all breathing together, or all looking out for something, a hundred eyes opening in unison.
Something is beginning to spin them off in the distance, coming this way. I don’t feel a breeze. The night air is still and empty. But something has them shuddering and turning, faster and faster, moving through the herd like a swarm of biting flies.
So… what is Thin Places Radio? Well, you can call in about anything strange that you’ve got going on in your life - feelings, omens, premonitions, hauntings.
Are you getting help from the other side?
Are you looking for something small?
Are you seeing someone across the street that no one else can see?
When the veil between worlds is thin, we get closer than ever to the strange and the unexplained - but also to each other. Call in, get it off your chest. Lines are open.
[click] [voicemail:]
I am feeling particularly wistful this evening, and wondering if time itself has lost its balance. Maybe, just maybe, there is something out there - smaller than we think it is.
[click]
You’ve got me wistful over here, too, caller – next door to you in the neighborhood of the cosmos.
I don’t think time has a balance – or, if she does, not one that I will ever understand.
[steel guitar - eerie, curious music begins]
There is no real moment where the hourglass is balanced. A grain of sand doesn’t suspend itself in midair. The next one is always falling behind it. We never have the present moment. And yet, the present moment is all we ever have.
Time doesn’t need to hold steady. She passes. Sometimes slowly, and sometimes relentlessly, but she never pauses, not once. There is life to live. There is rot to progress. There is hair to gray and water to flow and billboards to peel and bleach white. Even if you lose track of her, she never loses track of you. Well. Of most of us.
We’re all one of those little grains of sand, caller. Everything big is made up of something smaller, and smaller, and smaller. The windmill field is each windmill, and each blade, and each atom of metal, and each person who welded it together in the factory, who loaded its parts onto the train that would bring it across the country to this place, who worked the machinery to piece it all together. And each of those people is every moment they’ve ever been through, and every person they’ve ever loved, and every mistake they’ve ever made, and every bright thing that’s captured their interest or their ire.
Am I making any sense, listeners? Maybe not. I’ll try again. The big things are hard to touch. We let them pass through us and then remember how it felt. We keep the big things in the small things, because the small things are what we have. But that’s good. That makes them easier to hold on to.
I’m here. So are you. All the impossible things exist anyway. And thank God for that.
[click]
[a swarm of creatures]
[click]
The windmill above me is creaking to life. There’s still no wind, but I can feel something moving, trying to settle around me. The red lights are flashing quicker, now, uneven. There’s a pattern to them that I can’t understand. I think they’re speaking, in whatever way they can, but they aren’t speaking to me. The invisible swarm passes right by me, and around me, but it doesn’t settle – except for the brush of one small animal-insect-something that does not have a taxonomy that lands on the back of my hand, for just a second. I feel chitin or scales or feathers or fur. And then it’s gone, and everything, including the windmills, is still again.
[click]
Thank you for listening, callers, and thank you for calling, listeners. I hope you feel a little bit lighter. I know I do. As always, our number is 717.382.8093. That’s 717.382.8093. Until next time. I’ll be here.

image id: a series of pen sketches of my original characters from resurrection gambit. the first shows raymond (he/they) a humanoid robot with a rectangular head with a single eye on the right side. he's wearing an unbuttoned short sleeve button up shirt and is standing casually. a small doodle to the right shows the side of his head, which has a number of stickers on it. the next shows trench (she/her), who has an angular face with a built in gas mask and long arms with too many joints in the wrist. she has a number of piercings on angular protrusions on her head, and is wearing layered shirts and a skirt with multiple belts. the next shows sixer (any pronouns), an android with a human face connected to a mechanical back of the head. he has short curly hair, multiple piercings, and is wearing a tanktop over a mesh shirt with a large jacket. she's standing with her hands in her pockets and looking into the distance with a bored expression. the next shows VC0 (ve/vir) who is seen both as an old fashioned wall intercom unit with a small screen and a holographic form that appears as a giant millipede. the next shows primary install (it/its or they/them for friends), a humanoid robot with a head shaped like a searchlight. it has a tired expression and is standing with it's arms crossed, wearing an old tshirt and sweatpants. the last drawing shows ego (xe/xyr) who has a flat, screenlike face on a wide segmented neck, and is wearing a leather jacket over a vneck. xe has a sword on xyr back and sharp, claw like hands. end id.
please welcome to the stage RESURRECTION GAMBIT! - a shitty garage punk band made up of a bunch of robots. theyre not like, good, but there's not a lot of options for live music in the greasepit, so people take what they can get.
#original character#robots#resurrection gambit#ugh tagging original stuff is always so hard. idk. anyways i love these guys a LOTTTTTTTT LIKE A LOT.#ego + install are the newest members of the band which is why theyre on a diff page#and veecee is the ships ai but ve plays shows as a sick millipede hologram.like a vocaloid but one thats a big bug.#anyways. MY GUYS!!!

how's the new game going? been seeing a crazy amount of takes in every direction about it
short version is it is SO BUGGY (all the comments you have definitely already heard about the terrible performance issues are no joke; i don’t give much of a shit about graphical errors, of which there are many, but i’ve encountered a few bugs that actually ruined gameplay moments)......but also SO AMAZINGLY FUN...i don't want to put it down 😭😭
#it definitely should have been given more time in the game oven etc etc but oh my god it is SO fun????#i LOVE it unfortunately...#if you really love Pokemon i think you'll really enjoy the game#buuuut if you're not so big on Pokemon the performance issues might be too much of a hurdle to overlook#imo the open world aspect is incredible and i always feel like there's something for me to be doing#and yet i keep getting distracted because i see something shiny in the distance...and then i get horribly lost#just like what would probably happen to me if i actually lived in the Pokemon world sklf;jkl....#a lot of new Pokemon that i didn't like much at first glance i've grown to like more after seeing in-game#because they have a lot of personality...the story has been entertaining so far etc...#if not for the performance issues i feel like these games would maybe be a couple of the best in the series#unfortunately now they're probably only going to be remembered for the bugs though 😂#i've seen people who don't even like Pokemon coming out of the woodwork to dunk on them and it's like Okay Come On Guys
