#in case you hate bugs

[scoobydoodean]

You’re so strong re: the roaches I would have screamed cried and threw up until I passed away. Bad enough I had to chase ONE across my bedroom floor, naked, with a wadded up piece of toilet paper a few weeks ago but FORTY?! I have so little tolerance for bugs I moved out of my college dorm early cause a roach fell on me in my sleep 😭 I hope the exterminator gets them All and you don’t have to deal with another roach for at least the next year

♥️ Okay so I do think part of the reason I’m not losing my fucking mind is that these are a small breed that only get half an inch long as adults. That makes them significantly less horrific to see around. Most of the ones I’ve seen are juveniles and babies so it’s kind of like seeing a lot of house flies around. If I had encountered 40 1 1/2 to 2 inch roaches over this weekend I would probably be losing my mind and would just have to leave lol.

The bad part of these being a small breed though is that they. can. fit. in. anything. the kind infesting my apartment are called german cockroaches. They are known to destroy electronics and they can squeeze into a space the thickness of a dime. They can be so difficult to get rid of that there is an entire subreddit dedicated to battling this singular breed. Apparently, they don’t nest, they fuck like rabbits, and a single egg case contains about 40 babies so an infestation can quickly get completely out of control. They don’t even seem interested in my food (though I don’t usually leave food out and especially not rn) but they LOVE water sources and I think they were coming in from other apartments on the pipes.

So this past weekend, I bought caulk, expanding foam, and wall spackle and filled every single crack and crevice in the kitchen and bathroom that I could reach. This almost completely eliminated the problem in the bathroom. The kitchen is a lot tricker, but I also laid down boric acid under and behind the fridge, oven, and dish washer which poisons and kills them if they run through it. (And THEN if other roaches eat their dead bodies, they also die). Then yesterday I laid out 18 poison food bait stations. They keep getting in my dishwasher when I open the door so today I filled it with baking soda because if they eat that their stomachs will explode. So I’m basically poisoning the dish washer water. THEY WILL DIE!!!!

DIE!!!!!! 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

i was writing a different post but good god i cannot concentrate. i think i figured out why i dont like hearing the concert band practice nearby. its not because the music sounds bad but because the drums are so fucking loud they sound like they're directly hitting my head despite being quite far away

[keithbutgay]

the silly guys (and yes, they're gay :P)

(much info under cut)

okay so main worldbuilding--- i havent actually really thought this through but the idea is that basically its this really unoriginal kinda dystopian-ish world where there was this government created robotic spore, something that would go into your bloodstream through open wounds. the spore would then corrupt your body, and there was no way to stop it.

the idea was to keep it among the higher-ups of the country, using it as a sort of punishment for criminals but after all these victims inevitably re-entered society, questions started getting asked. eventually someone anonymous hacked into the blueprints, the information was released and the spore began spreading, infecting hundreds and hundreds of people.

(and yes, i realised after creating all this that its basically just the plot of wilder girls. do i care enough to change it? not really)

ghost (he/she/they)

-actually the silliest of guys

-gay disaster

-trans guy, would only like to be referred to with masc terminology despite their pronouns

-eye and entire arm had to be amputated after a car accident

-eye was filled with an amber-like substance that hardened over time as a result--- while it was still soft a bug flew inside and became trapped

-shoulder blades and arm became much more veiny and translucent, which is why he always covers his arm

-has a lot of scars on his arm, they show up more on the translucent skin

-constantly changing hair color. because she can

-adhd be upon ye

-asexuality be upon ye

-demiromanticism be upon ye

-is really energetic most of the time, gesticulates a lot while talking, but will sometimes forget about their arm and be confused about why its not moving

-experiences phantom pains in their missing arm, and also experiences chronic pain in their wrist and neck because they got really fucked up in the accident

-really normal about the ocean /lie

-struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder and severe bipolar 1 disorder, and experiences hallucinations and other symptoms of psychosis because of that

-dont really like people standing on their blind side, which is partially because of their paranoia and partially because they're self-conscious about their arm (and because holding hands)

alright moving on cause i said a fuck ton about them so now its time for smoke

i dont have that much for them sadly

i designed him second which means that he doesnt have that information on him but its okay because i love him

smoke (they/he)

-they're SUCH a guy. like. the most guy. in an agender way

-autism be upon ye

-also a disaster gay

-got into a lot of fights because of where he was brought up and the people they interacted with. this ended in their face getting cut up a bit at a really unfortunate time, and they were infected

-he cant actually fully zip or unzip his face--- instead they can feel their skin being stretched apart constantly

-its because of this that he doesnt talk or smile often because it often hurts to move his face. he will sometimes use asl, but doesnt know that much beyond finger-spelling and they prefer to just listen to other people

-if they do talk, its really quietly and slowly. they really only talk to ghost because they know he wont judge

-anxious boi

-definitely has bpd but no he will not be unpacking that today, thanks, that is getting shoved deep down along with his probable autism, depression, and panic disorder

-also getting shoved down along with his sexuality, he does not have the time or energy to think about that right now

-never really had many friends ever, and its historically been really hard for them to really get along and get close with others so they dont approach people very often

-really normal about space /lie

[yennens]

trying to play spirit of justice for my inner completionist’s sake but the entire PREMISE of this game is already pissing me off

[kyonite]

man does it ever strike you how fucking useless 90% of the AI shit companies are trying to peddle is? like especially for creatives it's just so functionally fucking useless.

"oh but I can use it to write the manual for using this tool" is genuinely something my boss said to me earlier today and I was like. do you know how AI works? do you know that in order to effectively write the manual for that thing, it needs to reference another manual that was already written for the thing? another manual for the thing which was,,,, wait for it,,, written by a human.

it's just so many of the use cases that people try to point out for creatives are just like. functionally fucking useless for many reasons but esp because it's referencing something SOMEONE ALREADY DID. why do I want a robot to regurgitate some shit that a serbian man already wrote on a website in 2009. he already did a fine job. why is the robot here.

If solomon asked me to be a defender of humanity, i dont think i could look him in the eye and say yes

Tuvok's Nightmare about Getting Cancelled by Janeway [Transcript under the cut]

He felt a hand on his shoulder, and turned to see Admiral Kathryn Janeway. She smiled at him sweetly. "Even if you didn't complete your training, I thought you had learned your lesson, Tuvok." "which lesson?" he asked her. His head felt as if it were splitting open, and sweat ran down his face.

"You engineered the melding of the Maquis with the Starfleet crew aboard Voyager," Janeway said. "Despite all logic, despite the conflicts between two groups that had every reason never to work together, you managed to bring them into accord. Just like Ambassador Spock is doing on Romulus." Tuvok wiped the sweat away with the tattered sleeve of a robe he hadn't recalled ever having worn before. "I no longer oppose Spock's unification movement," he said. "That is why I volunteered for the mission to Romulus." Now he knew where the robe had come from. "You don't oppose Unification?" Janeway asked, looking peevish. "Then why aren't you helping Spock now?" Tuvok was about to answer when he felt his stomach buckle with immense pain. He cried out and fell, sprawling onto a hard surface. Janeway was gone. The blowing sand was gone. Only the random pattern of rough-hewn stones and bricks of his cell floor remained. Source: Taking Wing - Novel

[abiudica]

i'm only noticing it with this parabellum rewatch, but the adjudicator almost never blinks when talking to people. they so do it on purpose, to unnerve / intimidate. is it something specific to them, i wonder? or is it a shared adjudicator trait?
