Then lies on me says i told her on the phone there's no fee.

no ill intent meant towards any of these games but a type of video game i always hate is "this is exactly like a game that already exists why would i spend money on it when i can just play the game i know and love instead"

"hey have you heard of palworld?? its like pokemon" thats nice. i dont like spending money though im just going to play pokemon instead 👍

"you heard of nicktoon all stars brawl? dang that games just like smash bros!" it sure is! anyways im gonna play smash bros instead! 👍

"have you played a hat in time? its Soo much like 3d mario" i actually did buy this game and honestly the entire time i just wished i was playing 3d mario instead. what was the point of this when 3d mario is right there. i wish i could refund it.

"you should try pizza tower! its just like wario land!" it doesnt even have wario in it! im good! thanks though!

"that unicorn overlord game sure is like fire e-" WHY WOULD I SPEND MONEY ON THIS WHEN I CAN JUST PLAY FIRE EMBLEM

i mean im not saying "oh get these bootlegs outta here!!" i just dont see the point more or less. video games are expensive and precious why would i want to buy a buncha games that are kinda like a series i love when i can just play the series i love

idk i feel like a lot of devs these days kinda try too hard to be a series they arent instead of making their own unique things. its good to take inspiration but so many games feel like theyre trying to replace or rival another series and its boring actually

i also think if a game is so obsessed with trying to be another series, it ends up being really bad because all it ends up doing is loosely echoing the originals gameplay and nothing else. it doesnt have the passion and heart that made the original so special, nor does it try to have its own unique world and characters. think of the hundreds of indie games desperately trying to be the next earthbound. theyre all so obsessed with trying to be earthbound they dont get what made earthbound so special was its own original fun ideas

shout out to undertale though. undertale does it right. like yeah its clearly inspired by earthbound but it does its own thing and has its own gameplay and world and characters and feels completely different. undertale is the right way to make these kinds of games

I just remembered latte art is a thing so im putting some oc thoughts here for later for my barista ocs

-kori cant draw latte art. she stopped trying because she cant get the shapes right. She thinks others might laugh at her for it, or someone might ask for a refund, but shes probably more worried about it than anyone else.

- phecda can make good latte art. He probably makes the really fancy modern ones of mascots and anime characters. He's so humble about it that its not fair, but secretly he tries to overdo each one for the theatrics. He will deny this. He's a bad liar though.

- goodwin makes really nice traditional latte art, but only when wearing her prosthetic. If she doesnt have it, she cant tilt the cup just right. Its fine because she always wears it to work, and her good customer service brings people in anyway. Sometimes she spills coffee on it though which might be a problem bc the metal is more for aesthetics than functionality, which is to say rust is still a possible issue.

- kai is trying his best okay. he's getting there. sure his hand shakes too much and he doesnt have a frame of reference for any design that isnt something he saw in the lab, but hes TRYING, be NICE to him!!! Depending on a customer's stance on experiments, they either specifically want his attempts at latte art to be encouraging, or they would sooner take something drawn by kori and give the myrios cafe a bad review on the city's hologram app anyway.

Anyways i wanna draw this eventually but its 6am and i havent slept yet. So that will wait until tomorrow or whenever, bc i also wanna draw a cool kori art thats boucning around in my head. I'll see which comes first.

Between my dog and my FiL I'm a little nervous Nancy.

My FiL keeps trying to stroke out (literally) and my dog had me take her into the vet today. I need people to behave. I have non-refundable tickets.

Edie gave me a bit of a scare though. She's had an occasional cough since we moved here and its always sounded more like she was trying to cough up something stuck in her mouth rather than a cough. Which makes since because my backyard was so full of stickers. In particular there are this fuzzy ones that get stuck in your clothes. She has a favorite ball that is just riddled with them and I bet they're getting stuck in her throat. This city just sucks for dogs. But I saw a video about the dog respiratory virus thats going around and they were like "heres what a dog cough can look like" and its that same stuck-in-throat noise my dog makes. Now she had kennel cough as a puppy and those coughs were like human coughs. Obviously from the lung type coughs. But I'm not diagnosing my dog with a resp. virus. Again, she's had this cough since we moved into this house and it notably happens when we go outside and play. She's fine otherwise. But I don't want to take her to the boarding facility and the people there be like "YOUR DOG HAS A COUUUUGH!"

however, the primary reason we went to the vet was because over the weekend I went to lift her up onto the couch and got nasty peepee on my hand. Now even though we havent been to the groomers in a while, me getting peepee on my hand is abnormal. She normally has clean butt fluff. It happened a second time and then a third time I went to wipe her after one potty break and it just was not a normal pee consistency. So now I'm afraid she has a UTI. Luckily today at work was a half day and I announced I was leaving to try and take my dog to a walk in clinic.

We have yet to find a PCP veterinarian since living here and the last vet I took her to in October, I didnt care for them. Theres one clinic nearish my house that only does walk ins (its not an ER) so we went to it because I, again, dont want to take her to the boarding facility with an active infection and I don't have time to make an appointment. I actually really liked the vet I met there. It was a nice facility too.

but they went to go get a urine specimen and pulled me back to their back area and grabbed an ultrasound and told me they found something suspicious in her bladder. They said they were concerned because they weren't sure what it was. It didn't look like stones but they said it was weird. Ended up doing Xrays (now I wanna especially because I mentioned this cough) to make sure theres no apparent tumors anywhere. The xray didn't show anything. Maybe she has some sediment or sludge in her bladder. We're going to start her on antibiotics and treat it like a UTI which I'm supposed to pick up tomorrow (somehow) and follow up in a couple weeks to see if we have any results.

Like..girl..no..stop..My husbands going to wake up to that credit card bill like "what happen?" especially because the boarding facility already took out a deposit. Dogs are expensive, don't get dogs.

i do love character designing though, i have a lot of fun with it. i try customs sometimes but to be honest like.... ive had to refund a handful of them just cuz i do not have the energy to do homework SKDFJSF its homework its a chore and it makes me miserable, so adopts are the way to go for me

mine recently were doing fairly well!!!! i put extra effort into them, so im GLAD but damn

ive noticed that people like it when you make a lot you feel me? batches do well, gachas do well, or even just uploading a bunch at similar times tend to do well. single adopts? yr SOL my friend if yr not like already popular people dont really see it

so i can either try a batch? but... i struggle like. i dont wanna make a batch of unrelated designs, and i also dont have the energy to make complimentary designs

ive thought about doing a gacha at some point cuz that isnt TOO hard, make a nice base and pick some themes to combine, go ham but MAN thats a lot of work KSFJSF i dont wanna accidentally burn myself out yknow

XYX HEADCANONS

i have recently joined the bloomic discord and talked abt xyx, with,,, so many people and here r my headcanons, there are,,, a Lot of them and they are so so so fluffy i promise

OKAY SO FIRST OF ALL - he has such a thing for petnames, and will Melt if u reciprocate

absolute pro at not being able to take what he can dish out, dont fret though, he absolutely builds a tolerance

ironically uses terrible pet-names in public, if you use some on him he Will make it a competition and he Will win ("snookums here wants a refund on this." "yes sorry, mcdreamy here said it didn't look good on me" "oh schmoopy , how you wound me i did not sa that")

xyx is such a people-pleaser, so he Knows what you like and what you don't, he'll keep an eye on your expressions subtly ("hey babe why is there so much snack you really like in our pantry?" "it was on sale!")

he will Spoil you, he's not the type to spend a lot of money on himself but on You?? oh you better watch out

still careful with his money but if you're eyeing that bag, or pair of shoes, or poster, he will buy it for you.

even if you off-handedly comment wanting something, expect it in your arms Soon ("i saw this really cool poster at the mall today?" "oh really? what did it look like doll?" "it was like, of my favourite character holding their love interest" "oh thats very cool" schemes)

will absolutely do the evil villain chair in dark thing with Cat if you come home late ("i've been,, expecting you" "babe its 1 am what are you doing up?")

he knows your favourite drink, exactly how you like it, and it tastes perfect everytime. YOU NEVER TOLD HIM EITHER, he just had you try a buncha things and watched your reactions ("hey love, im trying out a new recipe, wanna try?" "of course!")

dont think about it but seeing him playing with cat, watching the muscles in his arm flex??? him Noticing you noticing and flexing a lil harder, before going all out, Cat meowing indignantly over his bicep???

stop thinking about xyx coming home from work, seeing you and Cat cuddling on the couch?? being so in love that he scored someone as amazing as you?? he is just, so so so, in love with you at the moment?? that he just, comes over, picking u both up and twirlin you around. Cat immediately, outraged bats him the face but he doesn't notice because you're giggling so hard rn

if he's meeting your parents??? ohhh be prepared, he is such a smooth talker and hes Proud. He comes in, nicest most neutral cologne, nice powersuit, a subtle chain necklace with your initial???

he is All smooth talk, keepin an eye out for any cues of like or dislike on topics, always complimenting whoever cooked

when getting to the Interrogation? oh he's Ready ("so what do you do for a living" "oh well i work as a lawyer, it makes me elated to be able to provide for mc like i can" "nice, nice" *visibly impressed*)

the car ride home after??? oh he is Menace, he is all grins, puffin out his chest like a bird ("doll they loOoooveee me" "did you see that? arent you proud love?") you're gonna have to keep saying yes but its okayyy because you're both sickeningly in love with eachother

him being hella cheesy, tellin u one day ("hey doll, i bet i can hold the entire universe in my hands" "what??") and immediately cupping your face??? pulling you into a soft kiss??

you keeping that in ur mind,,, ready to strike back?? sitting on the couch with him laying between them, cheek pressed into your thigh as you both play with Cat? when Cat leaves, leaning down and cupping his face in your hands??? ("you are so gorgeous babe") and he goes Red (mc - 1 / xyx - 4million), his breath Stops.

leaning down to kiss him??? catching him even more off-guard?? absolute knock-out. he tries so hard to play it off ("ill never be as gorgeous as you doll") but being sooo off his game? so caught off guard??

a sunshower happening, cue you, dancing in the rain like a madman??? him coming over and seeing you?? glad u cant see him because he is Positive he looks so sappy rn. eventually meeting his eye?? running up to him and grabbing him by the hand?? leading him into the rain?? he immediately takes over the dance, spinnin and twirlin you around.

pulling you into his arms?? arms resting on your hips as you grab him by the face?? pulling him into a kiss???? laughter breaking out between you two, as he peppers your face in kisses??

doing research on filipino wedding customs, finding out that you traditionally ask the parents for their blessing

ASKING XYX'S PARENTS FOR THEIR BLESSING?? going over to their house for a dinner plan, getting him distracted and asking his parents for their blessing??? planning the wedding with them??? burning the unity candle?? the rice toss?? the money dance???

at the altar, can't even get though the first line of his vows before he cries ( "and i, xyx tak-" *literally sobbing*)

DOING HARANA FOR HIM??? getting all the members of the bloomic server to participate, as you sing his praises? good at singing or not he is so choked up in giggly, hands over face ugly bawling

lighting the unity candle with him is a whole ordeal, neither of you can stay still long enough to keep the flame steady, almost lighting the tablecloth on fire

him holding you as close as you can fit against him?? teary eyed all over again because wow, he cant believe that you really wanted to marry him??

post first dance, as the night wanes, hiding behind the couples table, on the floor, in his arms??? as he feeds u mango sticky rice and vice versa???

sayin sum cheesy shit like ("oops i missed a spot, hold still love") before leaning in for a kiss??? not realizing the photographer AND videograper saw this and got it all in 4k??

the discord prompts that inspired me, thank u i luv u all(real)

Day 140: Friday May 20, 2022 - “New Phone”

Earlier this week while on the phone with my Grandpa in Michigan my phone started making odd noises.  And when I hung up, it immediately lost cell service that wouldn’t comeback. - no more texting my Dad about his fantasy baseball matchup.   Then the screen started wigging out and by evening it had flickered to black only to come back to life in the morning, be gone by lunch, back by dinner and gone again the next day.   Um - obviously the death call was coming for it.  Luckily Verizon was running a free iPhone deal and so I decided today to go for it and trade in my dying guy for a shiny new toy.   Before I made the move, the juices of my old iPhone 11 gave me one last opportunity to back everything up to the cloud making the setup on the new phone practically seamless; same screen photo and everything.   Did anything even change? In fact, by morning, I barely even remember it was a new phone.  Got a new hunter green Otterbox Defender to keep it nice as thats never done me wrong.   Only had the iPhone 11 for less than two years so Im a little disappointed it didn’t last longer since I didn’t have an accident to blame this upgrade on.   But ever since upgrading from my old blackjack to my first smart phone almost 10 years ago, I’ve been brand loyal to iPhone and its hard to imagine that will ever change.

Song: Flatland Cavalry - Gettin By

Quote: “...But the heart is not a computer that can be upgraded so quickly and easily with the latest version of love. Love cannot be sealed hermetically inside a tight box like any other on the store shelf; even though the word itself is in public domain, its quality is not. Love cannot promise a full customer satisfaction garanteed or a whole lifetime of dreams shared refunded, with no questions asked. Love cannot be agreed to in terms and conditions as quickly as the "Next" button being clicked. These unspoken terms and conditions grow and develop over time until it gets very messy, and no one remembers how such a mess of accusation and anger was able to overshadow their pure ecstasy of love, the spark between two people turning on a new operation system of togetherness for the first time. Love is always beta; never a golden master. If love were a computer, constant bug reports and subsequent fixes are the name of the game, and there are many unexplained breakdowns. The heart is too stubborn for explanations and too impatient for forgiveness, and there is usually no one at the tech support line. Forgive me stan, if I've crashed so often. It's just to hard to boot up to a whole new future without you. I am an empty monitor in search of a "hello.” ― Raymond Luczak

I am so excited to go camping this weekend. I am almost done at the packing. I just have those like last minute things. And Im going to wash my hair tonight. And I want to clean the bathroom and make sure the apartment feels clean before we head out of here at noon tomorrow. 

Today was a pretty nice day. I was so tired last night. James got home around 10 and we talked for alittle. He was feeling kind of low still. But once he was in bed I was basically out like a light. Which made it a lot easier to wake up this morning. It was cold, which made it hard to leave the bed, but at least I didnt feel exhausted. 

James drove me to work so he could have the car for errands and things. He did the laundry and some camp prep stuff. We would go get groceries later on when I was done work. 

And work was good. The kids were excited I had the other skateboard with me. We rode around outside for a bit. Today's schedule felt a little weird. Didnt have as much time outside. But it was still a nice time. I finished the two commision frogs. And did a lot of reading. I didnt realize yesterday was the 42nd anniversary of the tragedy. I still have a lot of book to go. I am going to bring it with me this weekend though so well see, maybe Ill finish it. Enjoying it a lot though. 

I did have to like. Put my foot down and delegate tasks. At once point asking Dasia to take the kids outside. But we misunderstood a schedule and so one of hte kids missed a class. I dont have a good handle on his schedule though so Im going to have to check on that next week. But its fine for now.  

I also made the younger kids read for a bit today. They werent happy about it but I think a lot of that is because we dont have great book options right now. Someone from the library is coming tomorrow while Im not there to I think get the kids some books or at least online access. Well see. But they did read after a lot of back and forth. I also had them read a little to me so I could see where theyre at. Mixed results. But they are trying and thats all I want. Me reading while Im there is good modeling of behavior too. 

The kids also did a bit of sewing and art making. Not a ton but some. We had a lot of computer issues, the wifi was a mess today, but we powered through and did out best with what we had. 

Elizabeth also came today to drop off supplies and staff shirts. I am still not thrilled about a polo but whatever. Ill probably mostly have it on under a sweater. I think next week Im going to try to redo my wardrobe again and made some grab and go outfits. That will be fun. 

I did have a good day at work. I let the guys know I would be gone til tuesday, becuase that wasnt forwarded to them for whatever reason. Made a plan about that. Had some funny chats with them and the heating guy (it was really cold in there today!)  Did a lot of helping the kids with their work and computers. Cleaning the tables. And at the end of it I played a modified version of BlackJack with the kids. It helps them learn to quick count and it was fun. We also played War and it was a good time. And then it was time to go home!  

James was outside and we drove to the grocery store to get camping foods. I was a little annoyed because every time I asked something I would get an apathetic IDK. But we got almost everything we had been thinking and talking about and headed home. 

Its been a pretty okay night. Finishing packing. Shipped out some packages. Made a mistake again, felt very stupid. I had to request refunds on so many packing slips and I feel so stupid every time. We hung around and  just enjoyed eachother's company. I had a grilled cheese for dinner. It was a nice night. 

And now I am going to go take my nail polish off and wash my hair and get some good sleep. I hope you all do as well. 

I dont know what the service will be like. So if I dont get a post up I am sorry. But I will write them and get them up ASAP! 

Goodnight everyone. I hope you are all doing okay!!

[bos0rka]

I havent gotten my commission from you yet but thats okay because I know you are very stressed and I don't want you to worry about it and its all good if i dont get it because all that matters is that i can see and admire your art! That makes me happy ❤ I hope you are having a better day!!!! Btw I love your art!

oh nooo, Im so sorry! I was absolutely sure I did everything before I disappeared, please please pm me, so I can either finish it or refund you, I honestly have no idea what it was :((( fck this is baaaad ;;

thank you so much for being this nice even though you’ve been likely waiting for years dude Im sOso sorry 

just pm me anytime, okay? 🤍

[imatallelf]

haha basically i have anxiety and i needed to talk about it somewhere

edit: its chill now but eh im not gonna delete it

basically tiktok has introduced me to the wonders of knitting and crocheting and so i wanted to make a big nice blanket out of that chunky wool but not the wool roving stuff just chunky yarn. so i got my mom to let me buy like 50 dollars worth and even though ive ordered things online millions of times i dont think i put in our apt number so the address might not be right, and im almost certain i put the correct email yet i havent gotten a confirmation email yet so i dont know the order number and if it turns out ive ruined the order and it doesnt come to our place then ill have to tell my mom i wasted 50 dollars of her money because theres no refunds and ill probably have to pay her back.. anyways so i was worried so i emailed customer service and theres a 1-2 day wait time so i dont even know if they can help and i dont have an order number so if they cant look it up with the email or the address or my phone number then im screwweeddd. but thats the latest thing my anxiety has latched onto and i can’t stop thinking about it.

best case scenario, the address is actually correct and even though i didnt get the confirmation email it should come in about a week or two.

ehh scenario, the customer service lady can help and either confirm the address is correct or change it and let me know the order number.

ahhh bad case scenario, the customer service people cant do anything and what i described above happens :(

basically i cant do anything but wait which is the worst so lets hope the customer service people take pity on me

edit: the customer service lady sent me my invoice and number so now i know the orders fine and the email was fine but i also now know that I DIDNT PUT THE APT NUMBER IN so now i have to hope shes able to change it somehow idk haha where is it gonna go if it doesnt have an apt number

edit: AHHHHH they can’t change the address after shipping but they’re sending a replacement to the right one!!! I didn’t think they could since they dont do refunds or anything but yesssssss im getting my yarn!!! but also the order number she gave me was weird so i cant track the shipping but im holding on to hope that it should arrive in like a week

Could you write a blurb about Mat Barzal trying to make you a romantic valentines dinner but nothing goes right. You two end up ordering or going out to eat. 😋

When Mat had first suggested the idea of you two staying home and cooking dinner for valentines day, you were all for it. A majority of the time, you two went out to bars or for coffee when you wanted to have a date night, so the fact that you two would be acting all domestic and cute for the evening really excited you. It wasn’t often that you two had enough time to just hang out at home and take pleasure in each other’s company. Because you both had busy schedules, it was often best to meet at a place- hang out for an hour or so and then go your separate ways. You didn’t get to see each other as often as you would like, but the time you spent together was worth it- it was always filled with fun and resulted in amazing memories. 

Unfortunately, thats not how tonight had gone. The chicken was burnt and there was smoke filling the apartment, running over to a window- you cracked it open in an attempt to air out the kitchen and living room. If the chicken wasn’t too badly burnt, you would have sucked it up and ate it anyways- but as Mat pulled the roaster out of the oven. The meat was pitch black, practically looking like a giant lump of charcoal. How did this happen? You two may have gotten a bit carried away while it was cooking, mat said you guys had some time to spare- so you took off to the bedroom, falling asleep after your sexual activities, the two of you completely forgot about the food and it was a miracle you hadn’t set the house on fire. 

Taking initiative, you ordered some delivery and sat on the couch- but with the snow storm now hitting long island- it wasn’t going to make it, your card had been given a full refund and you sighed. Mat couldn't help but feel bad. This was the first time in weeks that you two both had enough time to spend the night together, he wanted to make it special. But it seemed like that wasn’t going to happen.

In an attempt to fix things, Mat had turned on the television and walked into the kitchen- cleaning everything up. Suddenly all the lights in the apartment went out. Great. now there was a power outage.

Mat was getting frustrated that nothing was going right, grabbing a flashlight and some candles- he lead you to the kitchen and set everything up. The warm fire was creating some light as the two of you rooted around together.

After going through his pantry and finding it bare- you started giggling softly. Grabbing a the milk and a box of cereal, you made two separate bowls for the both of you- heading into the living room and sitting down in front of the television.

You munched away on your fruit loops while Mat had his cheerios, it was a cozy night and honestly it may not have gone to plan, but it was fine. The candles offered a nice ambience and the two of you stayed rather close for the whole night. Even though Mat had more than enough pillows and blankets, he opted that body heat was the best way to stay warm during the snow storm.

[prorevenge]

After months of putting up with my roommate from hell, I got the revenge of lifetime and screwed her over out of a fuckton of money and got her to pay rent and life has never been sweeter! (This is a long one)

This is a long one but very much worth the ride, so buckle up. (also, English isn't my native lang, sorry if there are any mistakes)

This story takes place a couple of years back. During college, I lived with several roommates, all of them were nice and we got along well, except for this one bitch, let's call her Karen. if Satan and Hitler had a child and that child had a child with Stalin and Cruella de Vil, that would be Karen for you, she is a loud-mouthed stupid, egocentric bitch who has the face that scare the shit out of a toilet. She would never clean up after herself, she would always leave her plates and things at the spot where she last used them. I have lost counts of how many times, I caught her stealing my clothes without asking and if you so much as touch her clothes she loses her shit on you, or her drinking our lactose-intolerant roommates almond milk and any time we confronted her for drinking it, she would shrug and say "I only had a sip, stop being so stingy." She plays her music loud at night, invites stranger without giving any heads up, a time or two she didnt pay rent even though her parents are FILTHY RICH and she is wearing gucci and prada shit, Karen also fucking lies about everything, even things that are not worth lying about. like if she woke up 7, and you ask her, she'll lie through her fucking teeth and say she rose with the sun rise because she is a natural. (ps, this is something i actually heard her say to her parents while she was skypeing them....so cringy, who the fuck says that? but i digress)

Months we have fucking put up with her, of course we tried to get other roommates but unfortunately when we all moved in everything, all documents and contracts were done in her name so kicking her out would require a lot of effort and most of us were busy with school and work and life happens. So we ignore it as much as we can and try to move on.

We are now all seniors and in our final semesters, meaning graduation was coming, AND Karen is planning a backpack trip across Europe with her friends as a graduation gift to herself, this is important so remember this.

One of our roommates and my closest friend, Sasha, has had a crush on a guy that lives down the hall. Any time the two of them are together, Sasha and the Guy keep giving each other googly eyes and blushing faces; it was sooo cute. Sasha is a verbal autistic person and has never dated anyone because she has a hard time with socializing and understanding social ques and subtlety, which lets face it, that is the core of dating, especially flirting but with a lot of encouragement from me and the final roommate, Lola we got her to ask him out. He said yes. She was so happy, you guys, she flew back into the apartment and did an hour of happy dance with her arms flailing about and a shit eatin grin on her face; needless to say we were all so happy. Karen caught wind of this and it just so happens at that time she was having relationship problems, I guess her bf finally realized he's dating human garbage. Not one to be outshined, Karen behind all of our backs went to the guy's place and spun lies about Sasha, saying she is a serial cheater and even made a fake account for Sasha's so called bf. the guy never called Sasha, and eventually weeks passed by he told us why but by then Sasha felt like the damage was done and lost interest in him.

I. WAS. FUCKING. FURIOUS.

This, this level of dickery and bloody pettiness is the straw that finally broke the camel's back and I vowed I wouldn't fucking leave until I served my slice of justice. Here's another character that you must know about, Prof C. His wife two years ago was in a horrible car accident and as a result is in a wheelchair, this is especially problematic because she was a stay home mom that took care of their two special needs kids and they have a toddler at home. Home life is a mess for him, he is running ragged between working and single-handedly is taking care of his family, the uni took pity and also feared the workload would see one of their best and most beloved teachers leave the school struck a deal with him to help him out. In all of his classes there will be quizzes and midterms, this doesnt change, but assignments you submit and he corrects at the end of the year, this is important cuz our uni has zero tolerance on proffs that dont constantly update the students course works so that students have the chance to improve their grades.

Karen, the lazy and stupid bitch she is, is somehow skating through his assignments, even though they require a shit tone of research and writing. I accidentally learned that one of her older friends told her that she only needs submit the paper on its due date and to only write the first 3 pages and use a paraphrase tool for the rest of the paper so the plagiarism software wont detect it and would think its original material and when the end of the year comes, submit a hard copy but with the first pages being her actual work and the rest being completely plagiarized, professional work. Prof C won't know cuz the likelihood a man as busy as him thoroughly checking the work of 120+ students is pretty low. I grinned. A plan was beginning to formulate in my head. Oh, sweet mother of Jesus, she is going down! All semester long I let her do this for all of the 7 papers, one of them which is a term paper that has 20% on it alone, all the while I spied and gathered all of her pass codes, social media, her student ID, everything.

The end of the year came and I compiled all of her assignments, both the original one with the paraphrasing tools she used to circumvent plagiarism and the one she finally handed them in, and I even made photos were there are side-to-side comparison of the assignments. This is a good start but not enough. So, One day chillin at the living room I open a conversation about relationships, Karen is two timing her new boyfriend and is sleeping with some other Person. so, I ask her questions like "don't you feel guilty for cheating?" and "You do realize this is wrong?" and I even paraphrase my words in a way that is vague but also clear, for example I would say "It's not fair, so many people work so hard everyday to be successful and you are here cheating and lying your way to success." Karen, narcissistic as fuck, would respond with snippets of I dont care and how she isnt cheating, she is only having fun and that everyone does it so why not her too. This is too good to be true, even her answers are vague, its like god put his hand on my shoulder, looked me right in the eyes and said, "burry this bitch". and Id be damned if I didnt. As you probably have guessed it by now, I was recording EVERYTHING. The recording plus the photos, and her assignments were more than enough evidence, I sent an anonymous email to the Professor, and i tell the girls so that they can prep for the shit storm thats coming. Three weeks later, results are out. she failed and LOST HER SHIT. She was screamin, crying, wailing, what a sight to see! you best believe, the girls and I were laughing. She tried to talk to the prof, but he was not having it. she cried and begged for a second chance but he said a hard no. So now she has two options: she goes ahead and doesn't graduate with us, and takes on a whole 'nother semester for one measly course or take summer course and cancel her trip to Europe, which mind you she spent a fuckton on, something like 13, 000$ and I know it could have been much cheaper but Princess Karen only wanted the best so yh. The next couple of weeks she spent sleepless nights because she was calling and cancelling all the reservations she made, tryin to get her money back BUT (again, GOD really was out for blood that day) because the cancellation was so close to some her trip most places refused to refund, or some charged her cancellation fees. She only managed to scrap 5.5 K back together, lossin 7.5 K. OUCH!

Its not over, having damning evidence I, with earned gusto, told her she was going to pay all of the bills till we move out, which was in two months, payback for all the times she was late on payment or defaulted and she would from now do her part of the house chores or else Im gonna send it all to the admin and faculty dean and she will fo sho be kicked out and all those uni years will have been for nothing. She hated it, she fucking threw tantrums and cussed me out but my god if she didnt do whats told. she cleaned her stuff, apologized to Sasha for what she did, I forced her to come clean to her BF (dont know the guy but the few times i met him he was super sweet to us and i felt bad for the guy), I watched her actually do the dishes for the first time in like years. IT was fucking amazing and I don't regret it one bit. In fact, anytime I feel sad now as an adult, i kick back my feet and reminiscine and a slow shit eatin grin draws itself upon my face.

tl;dr roommate was super mean, i found out she was cheating on her assignments and so i snitched on her and as a result she had to stay the summer and retake the class again or else she wouldn't graduate.

hey cyan! where would you recommend starting to someone who wants to get into sonic?

if you have the money to get games and also the pc specs/etc: buy sonic adventure 2 on steam (its 10 dollars) its good (and keyboard compatible, and can run on my shitty laptop so im sure it could run on just about anything). if you have a REALLY GOOD computer get sonic generations also (this ones 20 dollars)! its a nice callback to older sonic games + brings back old characters and apparently, can be configured to use keyboard controls but im unsure on how good of a computer youll need to run it (saying this bc i had to refund sonic forces since it barely ran on my laptop). also, sonic mania (also 20 dollars) is super great and is sonic generations-esque but for the classic games, with a couple original stages in there, keyboard compatible, that shazam

if you dont: read the idw comics here theyre super good, the characterization is great so far, and the plot is fucking intense + super enjoyable. plus they introduce some cute new characters like tangle and whisper! you will need to understand some of the sonic mania + sonic forces lore to understand some concepts that are thrown out there but its nothing that a good wiki page read-through wouldnt explain for you. the classic sonic games are also out on mobile for free if youd like (but there are ads sometimes. kind of expected)! im also sure youd be able to find some good no-commentary lets plays of some of the games too if you arent able to afford but would like to see them anyways. ALSO watch the fun lil sonic mania + team sonic racing animations just for fun.

umm i also know some people would rec playing games like colors+unleashed, theyre propped up as being highlights of the sonic series because of the gameplay being good in 3d sonic game terms but thats kind of up to you and imo gameplay just couldnt make up for lack of substantial plot for me + i only rly liked the gameplay in unleashed moreso. they also just arent as accessible either since neither have steam ports youd probably have to either emulate or just have the systems they are available on. thats just my take though!

hope that helps you out! ^__^ glad i can be of service getting more people into the seriez

very huge spoiler warning for v’s after end! just wanna give some of my Thoughts

it is very late over here and ive juuust finished one of the endings (560 hourglasses! miscalculated before! holy shit!) and i have a few. feelings. about it. gonna keep it all under the cut so check it out if youre interested uwu

now i’m gonna start at the top with all the Good, and then we’ll keep descending down the line ajhdgcvkjgf

The Good:

- the artwork! god bless everyone on the art team!! it was all Spectacular and the shading could break into my house and stomp me dead and id thank it

- the voice acting! theres a lot of high-tension scenes in this end, and i think everyone handled them all amazingly! i feel like at this point they’ve all gotten a really good grasp of how each character responds to each situation, and you can really hear the different ways they approach their character’s mannerisms and aiughjsjc Basically Its Very Good

- the translation work! if anything this after end gave us a lot of really good and - uhhh for lack of a better word - Deep dialogue, and the translations definitely captured the sentiment to a poetic T. rarely did any lines sound stiff, so definitely props to them there! translating is So Hard guys and they did so well!!

- the reunion between the two Forbidden Twins! AMAZING and SHOWSTOPPING and BREATHTAKING and even though it was SHORT it did exactly what it was trying to do!!!!! which is!!!!! make my sad little heart feel emotions!!!!! i was feelin pretty numb and confused for most of the after end but then the two twins saw each other and my heart jumped out of my chest and it went skinnydipping 

- im a SUCKER for “where are they now” montages and v’s after end did about the most cliched ‘they get a kid’ version but YOU KNOW WHAT the kid was ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT and she is a tiny little criminal goblin who stole my heart and wont give me any refunds 

- lucy: makes any kind of noise me, absolutely sobbing: fuck everyone else i respect YOU

The Not So Good Ouch Parts:

i actually only really have one big complaint about this ending and it’s that. i don’t really know why it exists like. i don’t get why it unfolded this way. it kinda overshadows the conclusion of ray’s route and now im gonna try explain myself in human language instead of annoyed monkey speak

- two things that happen in v’s after end -- the twins reuniting, serving the Tea abt the prime minister -- were promised to take place in ray’s after end, and it was ray’s route that properly and primarily set up the foundations for these events to happen. because yknow. the prime minister was a key player in ray’s route. and i may be remembering incorrectly but i don’t think he was mentioned at all in v’s.

- while i am On The Moon to know that saeran’s alive, it really just seemed like more of a copout than anything, especially considering the amount of time they spent establishing seven’s guilt and his torment regarding his brother (and the pacing seems somewhat stiff when you take into account that they spent 3 episodes on Seven Going Sicko Mode and a fifth of an episode on Seven Seeing Saeran Again). bringing him to life (wake me up inside) undid a lot of that emotional setup. it relieved a small bit of tension for a Temporary Moment Of Really Nice Things, while simultaneously creating a lot more questions in the process. 

- basically all i’m trying to say is that if they’ve already covered all these plotpoints - even including rika’s redemption arc - then my concern lies in what they have left for ray’s after end. it seems a bit like they’ve taken the elements that made ray’s after end worth anticipating, and shoved them into v’s after end for... user satisfaction?

- i get in theory that ray’s route was meant to expand on saeran’s character as a whole, but ray’s route also had the alluring concept of the twins reuniting, and they also spent a good chunk of time establishing the Prime Minister Pandora Box subplot, as opposed to v’s after end just shoehorning in rika’s youtube speech (which Definitely gave me ray route vibes)

- all in all, it just feels a bit like the existence of v’s after end nullifies the need for ray’s route in the first place. although saeran isn’t exactly in Tip Top shape in this after end like he’d be in his own route, he still gets to the same destination: road to recovery, reunited with his brother. if v’s route has already explored this, then is there really anything for ray’s after end to bring to the table?

- thinking more optimistically, though, i suppose ray’s after end would focus more on the twins, rather than rika. thats still content! just not exactly what i thought itd be

tl;dr: v’s after end was aesthetically pleasing but overall very confusing and v wasn’t even there for like 90% of it

My first post.

It’s only started to sink in recently that I, yes, ME! I AM GOING TO BE A DAD.

When my adorable partner and I sat there waiting for the little “Pee-stick of destiny” to determine our future, I had a million thoughts and more running through my head. If it’s positive, will I be happy? Will I be a good dad? Will I be able to handle the responsibility of raising a human being to go off into the world and hopefully contribute to society? Most importantly, Will I be able to give my love unconditionally and provide for my Family?

Now I know, If I wasn’t prepared for this I should have been using protection thoroughly. The weird thing is, I think I am Ready. I can’t think of anyone else I’d rather spend the rest of my life with. To raise a human being with.

My partner is an amazing, thoughtful, caring and very much a “what you see is what you get” type of person. An example if I may, for our first valentines day together, she knew I saved up all the train tickets from the trips back and forth to her place and mine. So she went and got a customized metal train ticket with the destination and price and everything else all customized in to a cute little message. 

There is many other examples, but this one really stands out to me. Shes selfless, constantly putting herself out there to help people that she can (Except her younger brother, sibling loves a hell of a thing).

This is the woman I want to raise my children, to wake up and fall asleep next to everyday.

So yes, I think I am ready. Long winded explanation, I know. But it’s all relevant, and this blog is going to be a long winded story of my Journey to the center of the birth, and Dad-hood.

The journey to the 12 week scan was fun. My partner hasn’t had any pregnancy symptoms yet, except tiredness. Where as someone else we know thats pregnant and a couple weeks behind us is going through the absolute WARS. I do feel sorry for her.

I think that I have experienced cravings. Lasagne. Of all the things I could crave, Chocolate, crisp, anything. It had to be something I barely eat. But sometimes thats the way it goes. And I know what you’re thinking, how do I get pregnancy symptoms when I’m not pregnant myself. And I was very skeptical at first also, but from the limited research I’ve done (Read: Google for 5 minutes) It’s very much a thing. And aparanately when I was inside my mothers womb, my Dad was going through some very heavy morning sickness. Which I think is quite amusing.

At this point in the pregnancy, I have to admit, me and Megan have had one or two disagreements on what she can and can’t eat. This was also due to my very expertly conducted research (Read: Google again, sorry). The whole cheesecake event is something we will always remember when talking about this pregnancy, that’s for sure. Also a quick side note, Antony was the one that brought this up, and had he not said anything, this event wouldn’t have even happened. 

Tip #1: Guys, Don’t google too much stuff during pregnancy, it will cause some heated discussions and moody partners. Trust me, finding out that she could actually eat cheesecake after refunding it and having her “scowl of doom” aimed at me was quite annoying.

On to the first scan.

So, let me start by saying our 12 week scan was an emotional day. The moment that screen started displaying our little “nugget” as she calls it, my eyes started to act as if someone had used an industrial sized cutter to simultaneously chop and dice 5,000 onions. In other words, I teared up a little bit.

Seeing the heart beating. Seeing what I can only describe as overly dramatic hiccups. Seeing the little nuggets arms and legs moving. It truly was a feeling and moment I will absolutely never forget. 

Megan on the other hand was a little upset that she barely got to see anything, and had the nurse tugging her trousers down quite roughly. I think she enjoyed the warmth of the gel though from what I could see.

Everything turned out fine, baby looked healthy. Limbs all in the right places, head nice and round, moving. A relief. I had quite the nerves on the lead up to the first scan. Just wishing that everything was ok, and that it’s all good news on this day thats mean’t to be a joyous occasion.

We found out our due date: January the 12th.

We had 4 pictures of the baby printed off. One to her parents, One to my parents, and one each to show off to whoever we need to. And when Megan reads this, I want her to know that I told a few people, but I really did try to keep it under wraps. I’m Just ExcitttttedDDD!

Since then it’s been quite uneventful. Just what seems like an endless browse and refresh of zoopla looking for a place to move in together. Oh and the mood swings. How could I almost forget about the hormonal mood swings. It’s not her fault, the body goes through changes during pregnancy that us men could never even begin to imagine. I really don’t know how she does it but she’s strong. 

I get it. Trust me, I get it. There is nothing I can do to help her either. I just have to sit there helpless and be patient. It sucks to know you can’t help the woman you love. But it will pass and things will be ok.

This is all I have at the moment, I will check in again soon with an update.
