Weird cryptid creature, you are very dear to me-

Did some timed pose practice during body doubling with my friend today.

Despite picking some of my most beloved creature-ish Perpetua photos for the artistic dissection, it was really hard for me to not get stuck on a single sketch for more than 10 minutes, i had to physically stop myself from cleaning and polishing them, i got really frustrated when time was out and didn't like them at first, but after some rest and a snack i decided they're totally worth sharing.

I don't really find the concept of "masking" a super useful framework but there is something to be said for how when I was 16 I told people I related to BBC Sherlock and they were confused because I am literally niceys. And now today if I said the same thing about Gregory House I think people would say the same thing. You are literally niceys? They would say. And I would internally flick through a list of all the things I could say that I know would piss them off, things I know about them without being told, ways I could really hurt them if I wanted to, every insecurity and unflattering character trait I've noticed in them. And then I'd be like. Yeah I dunno why I relate to that type of character. I'm literally niceys.

I'm being incredibly normal about Power Wash Simulator considering the amount of lore it actually has.

Anyway here's my take on the protagonist's vibes.

...cat stuff below the cut...

So... my parents have been gently pushing me to consider getting another cat. I get it, I do. I live alone and I have known mental health problems that make that worrying. I'm in treatment and my issues aren't as bad as they were, but I occasionally still have really bad weeks.

(This... was a really bad week.)

During those really bad weeks, knowing that a small and helpless creature was relying on me helped get me through it. Like, it got me up and moving but it also prevented me from doing anything, y'know, drastic. I know that and I think my parents know that, too. And I know that the idea of going back to an empty house full of cat toys fills me with absolute dread, to the point where I have considered paying my regular catsitter to go over to my house and just kind of. Put all the cat stuff in a place where I won't see it immediately.

Being honest, it feels like it's too soon to get a new cat. It feels a little bit like I'm betraying her, as irrational as that is. But I also understand why my parents want me to get a cat before I go back to Philadelphia, and I understand that if I do that, sooner would be better than later. (To give the cat a couple months to acclimate to me before I take it on a cross-country trip, and to see how it does around my parents' dog.)

I don't know. I've let my parents convince me to visit the local shelter this week. There's a good chance, I'll admit, that I'll just cry the whole time. But I also know this area has a lot of stray cats, for some reason, and so our shelter is always full. One of those cats could use a good home, too. I hear that there are so few adopters out here that they'll often sit for weeks or months and local businesses will actually sponsor specific animals so they can afford the care.

I remember shortly after I got Geist, I considered getting another cat... The local cemetery near me in Philly hosts a lot of events and once it was a black cat adoption drive. I considered getting one and naming it Haint. Geist and Haint sounded good to me, white and black. But then I realized that Geist got stressed out around other cats so I decided not to do that.

But... idk. I hear there's a bunch of black cats at the shelter right now. Young and old. Part of me is like "no, it's too soon" and part of me is like "maybe I should finally get me a Haint" and part of me is like... I don't know. I feel really mixed up about it. I miss having something warm to hold when I'm sad and I don't know if I feel selfish about wanting to do that again. Other times I cry just looking at pictures of cats.

You'd think at 35 I'd know my own mind better, but I guess not. I suppose it won't hurt to visit the shelter, at least. If I find a cat that I bond with immediately, I'll give it a try. If I just become a blubbering mess, I guess I'll know that two weeks was way too soon.

realizing I don't Post™ all that much but had a thought come to mind that I remember having months ago;

I'm not gonna discount the potential influence of recency bias, but thinking about Undertale/Undertale Yellow and their death songs, I always find myself consistently preferring "Justice" from UTY over "Determination" from UT. It's likely just my personal taste, but Determination always felt like it was 'slow' in a way that tended to feel like a jarring tone break from whatever killed you. Which, yknow, could probably also be framed as a positive since it's a DEATH song, but something about it Just Never Sat Right With Me.

"Justice", on the other hand, manages to not only be a PERFECT fit into any death scenario, it's also just??? A better sounding song??? Since the Justice motif is structured the way it is, it hits you with the main identifying bit of the song RIGHT at the start. There's no real buildup to it.

It also conveys a sort of "unfortunate end to a long journey" that Determination doesn't. That seems like it's by design, though, given that the dialogue in UT is LITERALLY YELLING AT YOU TO NOT GIVE UP, whereas in UTY you (ideally) go into the game knowing that Clover's tale is one with a set ending (to a degree) and that it will end in death. Justice, therefore, seems eager to treat any ending with appropriate finality, whereas Determination refuses to treat death as much of an ending at all... because in UT it usually isn't.

To play devil's advocate, however, comparing Justice and Determination as motifs isn't really that fair, at least through the lens of "which one makes a better death song", because Justice's motif is ALL OVER UTY's OST, whereas Determination has only one major (yes, I'm sleeping on Snore Symphony, sue me) reapparance: ASGORE (where it hits with the force of a thousand fucking suns). In UT's case, the Once Upon A Time motif is the one that shows up again for many of the game's more important moments. "Justice", regardless of its merit on its own, is given the opportunity to transcend its status as "the death song" while "Determination" kind of isn't; and when judging how I feel about either of them, it's difficult to be unbiased as a result of that fact.

Ultimately, both songs are awesome, but Justice UTY Good™, thank you for coming to my TED talk

petsitting as a job is such a gamble bc sometimes i'm basically being paid to just sit in someone else's house with their dog & put food down twice a day. it's great

other times i'm being paid barely any more money to look after 4 animals who are used to an entire family's level of attention & energy so by the time i finish everything by myself,, it's late & i'm too tired to do anything else. and then i gotta go to bed soon bc the dogs will wake me up at 6am (this has been the job i'm doing rn) (help me)

what if Joker Out is an all virgin band. Because they got obsessed with music and school and forgot everything else and never really dated and never knew where to start from. So all those hotline promos were just them fantasizing that they know what they're doing. Maybe only Nace a proper adult joining from outside, looking at the horny but totally inexperienced bunch of guys and thinking "ufff 😳 do I... do I help?..."

Anyways where were I? oh right, Joker Out are all actually virgins conspiracy

kwjekewkjwj nonny wdym "what if" this is real, they're all music nerds and no one in the band had sex til nace joined, this is fact

i like to imagine the others all lying to each other that they've had sex but one by one nace gradually finds out they're all virgins and slowly goes insane with this knowledge – one day they're all joking about sex but it's just so obvious they have no idea what they're talking about and nace just stands up and goes "you all sound like TEENAGERS, if any of you want to ACTUALLY know what sex is like i will be in my HOTEL ROOM goodnight" and leaves

i keep trying to infodump about my lazytown-induced personal health arc but i’m deathly afraid that i’ll sound like one of those diet culture weight watchers. i need a big red name tag that says “I LOVE TO EAT” before entering any conversation about health or fitness

for your consideration <3; you may now rest soundly in the knowledge that i am, in all things, correct.

My back and neck hurt like HELL so you know what? New headcannon just dropped. Jeremy Heere has scoliosis. That's one of the reasons why he slouches. He's just like me, fr! 😍😍

When you say “I am dealing with a lot of cleaning shit and everything is a mess” and someone responds with “I’m sure it’s not as bad as you think” it makes me want to explode every atom in the universe

I ought to be well accustomed by now to the fact that I live in backwards-land when it comes to most physical/health things, but it still confuses the heck out of me that eating food saps my energy so drastically.

Today was a classic example: I woke up in the morning full of energy, peppy and motivated. I was dancing around the house, getting a ridiculous amount of chores done, listening to music, having a great time...

...and then I had breakfast. Now, it doesn't really matter what the food in question is - my usual breakfast is either oats with a bunch of toppings (seeds, nuts, fruit, yogurt) or else eggs and toast - and today it happened to be a piece of pita bread with homemade guacamole (avocado, tomatoes, nooch, spices, lime juice) plus a protein shake.

And I have felt like a ZOMBIE since then. Exhausted, limbs heavy as lead, and I spent all the rest of the day on the sofa because I couldn't muster up the energy to walk from one room to another.

This happens so consistently. Whyyyy?! Why does my body hate food :(
