to the people who said that the ratfish being unfunny was on purpose or that he'd be better once you got him talking on camera or that the main point of the ratfish being that guy specifically was that it was for the cast to be excited about in my post complaining about him. how does it feel to be so incredibly wrong
#dropout#game changer#JUSTICE FOR ADJUSTABLE SIDE TABLE WALNUT AND GRANMA SWEETIE#not showing off who the ratfish was to the cast killed it for me completely#the ONLY thing i couldve gotten out of it was the cast being excited#instead they seemed mostly confused and not laughing much at his jokes like the rest of us#millennials dont clown on this post

okay not to whine after going to a vegan food festival but. why are restaurants increasingly becoming meat-oriented again.
#did you guys know one of my siblings—who was previously pescatarian—reverted back to being an omnivore because she wanted more options when#she dined? which surprised me#and then I went to visit her and we went out to eat#and it was indeed weirdly hard to find restaurants with decent vegetarian options. or like. more than one option.#anyways the hottest new pittsburgh restaurant doesn't have a single thing I can eat on its menu aside from their focaccia lol#:(((((#I feel like seafood and meat are Back In#and I wonder if it's a renewed interest in luxury (after the raw wood and steel chair hipster millennial restaurant days)#or if it's part of the conservative culture redux that we're all going through in the states#(see the use of camo in more clothing across political spectrums and even in queer communities... the rise of country music... etc)

#fe9/10#fe ike#tellius#ike pride#another choppy pride edit#this time I am making it for pride month#pride is still year round#I had a vision and had to make it reality#I would have made his headband the ace flag#but I had already dislocated my shoulder getting this far#because I do not currently have a desk or monitor to do things at for personal use#so the headband remains the same for now#(my shoulder is not actually dislocated)#(I am just a millennial and over exaggeration is my humor)

Liminal Spaces — Chapter 1
Modern AU (College/University) | PZA | Explicit | Chapters: 1/4 | Words: 7,945
Summary: Inspired by the film The Dreamers. Zagreus is a university student who feels aimless in life. His girlfriend dumped him, things between him & his best friend are weird, and he lacks ambition in his studies, all while the optimistic visions of his generation’s future are becoming lost. Until one day, he falls into the orbit of Achilles & Patroclus―a charming, yet eccentric pair who completely alter Zagreus’ outlook on life & death, love & loss, past & future, and the transitions in between.
Excerpt:
“Can I ask you something? Who is that guy sitting over there? Do you know him?”
Achilles follows the direction of Zagreus’ gaze, turning to the young man reading. The man doesn’t seem to notice them talking about him, and he doesn’t look up from his book.
“Oh, him? That’s Patroclus,” Achilles says, turning back around.
“Oh, I see. Is he a friend of yours?”
Boyfriend, Zagreus’ mind supplies at once, unbidden, and he steels himself, even if he prays it isn’t the case.
“He’s my brother.”
“He is?” Zagreus’ inner self, still delusional beyond all reason, silently fist pumps in celebration.
Achilles nods. “Mm-hm. We’re twins.”
“Twins?”
Zagreus looks over again toward Patroclus, then back to Achilles, turning his head to one side as he considers them both. He tries not to let his skepticism show on his face; he has seen news stories before about miracle feats of genetics, in which natural-born twins of the same parents were nevertheless complete opposites in their complexions. Zagreus considers the possibility that perhaps these two are such a case, and he doesn’t want to be so carelessly ignorant as to dismiss them out of hand.
And indeed—the longer he studies them, the more they do appear to have a certain shared aura between them, though Zagreus can’t be sure if it’s the fundamental, physical shapes of their features, molded by shared blood, or if it’s more the intangible qualities in mannerism of two people who have shared everything—perhaps their whole lives—together. Even longtime couples, Zagreus reasons, who ostensibly look nothing alike, often seem as though they are two different versions of the same person.
“Do you want to meet him?” Achilles asks, apparently interpreting Zagreus’ questioning as interest in his brother. And at this point, Zagreus himself probably wouldn’t even consider it a misunderstanding.
“Sure.”
Achilles’ eyes gleam, as if this is a rare treat for him, and there is nothing in the whole world he would like more.
READ THE REST ON AO3!

oh boy I can't wait to read about how my generation "killed" yet another thing due to not being able to afford it.
(I actually do have a guest room, but I fully understand why many people don't.)
(the article, to be fair, does mention cost as the reason. but I still hate the headline.)
#they always make it sound like we decided to get rid of entire concepts or industries rather than it being a financial prioritization thing#this just in#a whole lot of people cannot afford a home with a random extra room that only gets used a couple of times per year#if i had kids i would no longer have a guest room#millennials

Can people stop saying gen alpha is awful? my kid is four years old ffs and the oldest ones are fourteen - so maybe we could idk stop blaming them? - Because they're like, and I know this is a crazy concept, but they are CHILDREN
#I remember growing up as a millennial and we were also called awful - it still persists and we rolled it into gen z and now alpha#number one thing I hear- they're all addicted to screens!! ipad babies balshsuwhgajags go#want to know why they are called ipad babies?#its not because they are just handed a tablet nope it's because they were born the year the ipad came out#ofc some of them are but hey raise your hand if your parents left you with the tv as a babysitter#and the younger alpha's parents have learned from the mistakes of the older alpha kids parents - you know like every generation ever#omg baby einstein is bad - well thanks for the research - not like we understood when our eyes were rotting from sesame street and barney#and now we know and me and our kids friends parents work our asses off to make sure they don't over do it with screen time#because at the end of the day MOST OF US ARE ADDICTED TO SCREENS#alpha parents just hand them a screen NO BITCH ITS GRANDMA#parent venting#twotaleshomelife

Me staring at test results: It makes so much sense for her, but if I don't specify or elaborate, then we end up with the fanon take. Ugh, how do I easily explain that if you look at the word 'sex' through a much more old-fashioned lens instead of the modern one, that you'll get a vastly different picture of it?
/takes angycat.png typing to my tags
#[ ooc. ] don't try to make it logical or edit your soul according to the fashion. rather; follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.#[ post-it. ] in a way; you are poetry material. you are full of cloudy subtleties I am willing to spend a lifetime figuring out.#[ i'm so tired. i need to write a post on this or something. and somehow add it to my pinned. in some way. ]#[ 'sex' and 'seduction' are /not/ wrong in my opinion. HOWEVER-- they are /very wrong/ if we go by modern labels and perception. ]#[ god the horror of writing a muse that is so interlaced in a modern world; setting and culture but seems to /ooze/ something archaic. ]#[ this level of refinement isn't of our times in my opinion. these things that she loves aren't commonly loved nowadays. ]#[ there's so much about her that is old-fashioned to me and it's so in my face. and yet fanon doesn't see it. ]#[ i can't believe i'm an old millennial who's screaming boomer or older things. ]#[ but like can we acknowledge that sex in today's age isn't the same as it used to be? not /always/ but more generally so. ]#[ can we acknowledge that /seduction/ didn't always mean what people see it to mean now? ]#[ can we acknowledge that the FEMME FETALE TROPE HAS CHANGED /LEAGUES/ since the 2000s? ]#[ which is my biggest beef actually. and maybe all of my frustration plays into this most. it's that the femme fatale now is sexualized. ]#[ while that is /not/ what the femme fatale used to be. kafka plays into the old school femme fatale so well. film noir days. ]#[ i had this same struggle on yelan where they make VERY OBVIOUS draws to it by her music in her trailer. god; the jazz. ]#[ but kafka suffers from this so very much as well to a point where i don't dare to call her a femme fatale because then it's fanon. ]#[ the fanon i hate so much. ]#[ but just uuuughhhh. UGHHH. it's so much to explain. ]

Guys. I did not know before now that writing could be painfully millennial in a full prose book but the pho*nix ke*per has proven me wrong and I have to complain about it in the tags
#k talks#weird astrix is because I don't want this showing up in the tag just in case#but I NEED To complain about this book real quick. I love a magical zoo that part was fun but good lord the main character....#I get what the author was trying to do with her arc and I will say the second half of the book is better than the first but Jesus christ#I hated the main character at the start she is SO annoying. not to be mean I know the whole point is her overcoming her anxiety#but like. I swear to God every two pages was just oooh I'm so awkward I'm such an introvert I'm such an awkward scrawny turtle!!!!#like CONSTANT. even worse though she's mean about it. for like half the book she's just so incredibly judgy at her public outreach job#she literally works at a zoo and has to learn hmmm... zoos need money??? zoos are also about... educating the public??? WHATT????#also it just felt so weird because she is constantly talking about how pale and skinny and pasty and scrawny and white she is#like constantly. and her best friend is a black trans woman who CONSTANTLY coddles and supports the mc in a very maternal way#and her love interest is latina-coded I'm pretty sure and is much more confident and opinionated and is literally described as fiery once#so like. hm! Okay! interesting! Interesting stereotypes going on tbh!!!#the mc learns some lessons and gets slightly less insufferable but like. also it was SO predictable I always knew what was gonna happen nex#and the writing style... like I said above it is MILLENNIAL and not in a fun way. the word boop is used several times. the humor is awful#the main character has multiple conversations about being so uwu bottom even though there's no sex in this book??? why??#and every single character description is repeated OVER and OVER with the same two details. SO much telling basically no showing#the writing was just so... quirky. ooooh look at me I'm awkward I trip over things I can't do make-up I love sitting on the couch!!!!#like. idk. obviously a lot of people really liked this book and I SHOULD have been one of them. Sapphic romance at a magic zoo....#but the execution was just so incredibly not my thing it actively pissed me off even if I can see what the author was trying to achieve#maybe I just don't like cozy fantasy. man. there was a bit where a guy should've gotten eaten by a kelpie but didn't. so maybe too cozy#for my tastes actually. which is weird I feel like I should enjoy cozy fantasy! especially about animals!!! but maybe this was just a fluke#anyways. to be clear I am not trying to make fun of the MC for having anxiety. just the overall way her social awkwardness was WRITTEN abou#really bothered me. idk man I'm a neurotic freak as well but I try to be NICE about it. and I have the correct zoo opinions. so.

our medicine cabinet fell off the wall in our bathroom so we r taking the opportunity to paint the walls and change things around a little and i’m just. rly rly excited
#we live in a rly old building w cool little hexagonal floor tiles and a big old window in the shower and a pedestal sink#lots of charming details#but the walls are this horribleeee like purple brown toned gray???#and the lightbulb is RLY yellow#and there’s ugly window film on the window and all the old white shelving was put in poorly#so i’m excited to give it the love and care and respect it deserves !!!#the people who lived here before us were def trying to millennial gray the bathroom which is the most disrespectful thing 2 me#in such a pretty old building🥺🥺🥺#but a fresh coat of paint and new outlet covers and window film to honor the age of the house will go a long way :)#personal

If ever you have misgendered me, no sweat.
It's been a long road getting to be comfortable with what I've known for a very long time, and for a while I even leaned very hard into trying to be as femme and Ladylike (even using that title for a hot minute) as I could possibly be. Some of it was just to tamp down insecurities in my then newly-formed 'hetero' relationship, some of that was an attempt to be "marketable". Some of it was before I was aware "No thanks" was a gender option, so it is what it is.
Properly, I use they/them.
I'll accept gendered pronouns in a pinch, and you're welcome to just Proper Noun me if you're trying to avoid upsetting someone who's precious about pronouns.
The world's a super shitty place sometimes. Just don't intentionally be shitty and it's all good.
#It's that time again!#Time to spin the wheel of genderality#wheel of generality turn turn turn tell us the gender that we should burn#Possibly the most Millennial thing I've ever put in my tags I'm so not sorry
