I have medium-sized hands and my goddamn iPhone Mini is well on its way to being pried cold and dead out of them. 😭 I was trying to hold out until Apple made another mini, but they’ve signaled they won’t, because they don’t sell well.

How is there no market for smaller smartphones? I just don’t get it. A normal iPhone is annoyingly large in my hand and awkward in my stupidly small-pocketed jeans, and I’m over average height for a ciswoman, US or worldwide. So bazillions of smartphone users have to have hands smaller than mine!

Does everyone else with medium and smaller hands enjoy using a phone that’s like a mini-tablet? Am I just fuckin’ weird?

Hello! Could I ask how many chapters does the jp server currently have? I believe you're at the 12th part but I'm not sure. Part 7 came out in the eng server and the measly 16 chapters with no chapters within chapters destroyed me, so I'm trying to estimate how many we'll get when parts come out

yep, we're in the middle of 7-12 right now! they started splitting them up further starting with 11, so we got chapter 11 part 1, then chapter 11 part 2, and we're due chapter 12 part 2 (and maybe 3?) later this month. we've been getting them more regularly though, so it seems like they're switching to smaller but more frequent story drops!

I think Eng is following the same chapter breakdown as JP for these ones, and they've mostly been a decent length each IMO -- 9 was on the short side (two-person dorms go by so fast...) but we're getting nice little wrap-ups to the characters' arcs so I personally haven't felt, like, shortchanged or anything so far! it is SUPER hard being patient though (I'm lucky enough to be able to play it immediately and I'm still dying over here), so. ...I'm hoping the smaller drops help with that. :')

if you want the actual chapter numbers so far:

chapter 8 - 117-139

chapter 9 - 140-157

chapter 10 - 158-191

chapter 11 - 192-211 (part 1) / 212-226 (part 2)

chapter 12 - 227-244 (part 1)

(pretty sure these are correct, but if someone notices that they're off, please let me know!)

New day, same book and same struggle to focus. I need this thing to be done, it's so stressing and tiring to try to keep my focus on this. It's written so fucking badly I can't take it anymore. And after sending a few passages to a friend I can confirm I am not the problem, the book is. It's so tiring on my brain that I am also less motivated to read in my free time, which is fine, but it shows how badly it's influencing me. My free time, when I am alone, these days mainly consists of listening to music, doing sudoku puzzles and continuing my Lost rewatch. I am now at the end of season 3 and I am not joking when I say I don't remember shit. I mean I do have a few memories of things that will happen, but there has been so many plot points amd twists I had completly forgotten.

productivity list:

read first thing in the morning

finished reading and underlining the first half of the last section of the book (now I only have to work on the second half and the epilogue which should be less than 50 pages)

started writing down notes for what I have read yesterday and today

started outlining a few thoughts on what my 2025 reading goals are going to be (I feel like this year I really learned a lot on what I want my reading to be, I will be writing a post on that around the end of the year)

I've figured it out, why I'm always a bit thrown about people defending Blitz this episode. Like don't get me wrong Stolas has not been perfect and has to grapple with his classism/etc. But like, in my head, I've always gone, 'but that isn't the point of this episode/fight/current conflict' but didn't really have the words to explain. But now I do.

Because, the whole point of apology tour (and everything that built to it) is that even if Stolas was a perfect boyfriend, even if they didn't have the complicated power dynamic and Stolas being really demeaning, etc, none of it matters because it would always have ended the same. Blitz would always set fire to the relationship the moment he confessed his love, it's what he did with Verosika after all. It's what he's implied to have done with more than half the people at the party.

Stolas could have been perfect, and nothing truly would have changed. Blitz right now is incapable of letting someone love him without lashing out. The whole prince thing is just a convenient excuse to yell and scream about, it's not actually the point. Like don't get me wrong, there's truth to it, but Blitz is weaponizing it to shove Stolas away. If he didn't have that, he would find something else to use against him.

I love Blitz, but he's a terrible person. His trauma only explains his actions but doesn't justify them. Apology Tour is the episode that finally shoved in his face his fuck-ups in all their glory, and gave him the wake-up call to finally do something about them.

still pretty bummed that they never used Here Comes Vi anywhere in Arcane. they found two spots for Get Jinxed (S1 Ep4, and S2 Ep2) but they couldn't find a place to drop Here Comes Vi in there? no room for "Have you ever really wanted to be a total rebel flippin tables on the enemy?" not even as a little treat???

look I like Get Jinxed as much as the next person with ears but cmon. where's the love for my misfit, always ready to brawl

god, my stomach has been a mess lately..

the other night, i shared a celebratory dinner with my partner's family. didn't even eat that much, but i ended up with a bad stomach ache, overly full, bloated, and nauseous. the noises it made were non stop and soo loud. next day? terrible gas, couldn't go until later when my guts were unexpectedly .. loose. last night, i had spaghetti, it was delicious with the parmesan, garlic, and herbs. of course though, it had its consequences. i had awful gas, while at work. i had to try so hard to hide it from my coworkers and customers 😬😳

One of the reasons The Traitors US is the lowest in my English speaking franchise rankings is how annoying the fandom is. Because it's all reality stars, the audience is comprised of a lot of people who have never watched a reality COMPETITION show (drag race is a different thing really) and they always have the worst takes/get so butthurt over people playing the game! Like I get being defensive of your faves, I am too, but damn some people are so dense that they don't even understand the show they're watching. It's a game called The TRAITORS people are gonna lie and be self-interested. That's the whole point!

Just wanted to quickly thank anyone who read, kudosed and/or commented on my fics this year. I'm one of those authors who don't have spoons to reply to comments (anymore), but most of the time when I get the notification I stop what I'm doing and then literally hold my phone close to my heart. Y'all make it worth it. Thank you ♥

this is VERY frustrating, is anyone else experiencing delays with glitch merch??? I have bought both J and Cyn keychains and they have always arrived on time (10 days).. Tell me why Uzi hasn't come and it's been 12 days? Not only that, they won't give me my damn order number!! I did not waste 18 dollars for this .. ;w;

Some thoughts on EPS 1-3 of Monster Next Door

I was thinking recently how I wish there were more movies or shows where an introverted/withdrawn/shy/whatever* character meets an extroverted/outgoing/confident/whatever** character and their disposition isn't seen as inherently flawed and that the extroverted character learns from them for a change. And then Monster Next Door comes along!

*&** I know these aren’t the same things, but they often get lumped together

I mean, I'm assuming they'll learn a little from each other, but I love that God (or Got?) adjusts his behaviour first and that it doesn't feel performative. He's not doing this solely to impress Diew and then embracing it sincerely later—he's enjoying himself from the outset (with the reading) and learning things about himself too (everything he says about wearing the mask because what Diew said made him realise he doesn't have to be who people assume he is when they see him). Diew might feel pressure from his mother, and has clearly had bad experiences in the past (as we see with his ex's friends making fun of him), but he has someone who's truly trying to understand him in God/Got, which is really lovely

And! I also like that Beer was like no I don't think it's weird that Diew's quiet, and that, while he extends the invitation to Diew to eat sushi with them, it's clearly a no pressure kind of invitation.

It's just so refreshing! (@byemambo has a much better and more detailed analysis here)

On the flipside, I like that, while Diew was annoyed by the noise etc. initially, there doesn't seem to be a lot of judgement on his side either? At least, not once God starts talking to him. Like, I find the introvert/extrovert (or similar) thing is often played as a rivals type of thing, but here it feels more like a neutral display of personality differences. Diew fears being judged because of past experiences, but he doesn't seem to have an inherentdistaste for more outgoing people. And he's doing things that are outside his comfort zone or wheelhouse, too! Like when he looks up hangover cures when he overhears God throwing up from being drunk! Or going to the concert, which I'm guessing is not his usual scene. 

There's already a give and take and mutual understanding and, while I do like other dynamics, it's nice to see a love story start this way sometimes too

(Remind me to maybe talk a little about costuming/set design and the use of masks at some point)

"You can't not like Glitch's other shows because they're from the same producer and it's like we're siblings🤓☝️" like shut up, everyone has the right to like or dislike things (because this is personal taste) this logic is so stupid

And everyone can express their opinion on their own profiles/or just say whatever you want about the shows you don't like without harassing the fans. How can I at this moment say how I think tadc is overrated and no one will be able to attack me since I'm in my space here lol

ngl, it's kinda embarrassing that so many people are angry about the teaser that Matt will be GMing the next season of D20 because [checks Twitter] "its really shitty to drop the teaser now while the current season is airing and pull attention away like this, don't punish the current season by stealing from it like this" (actual complaints seen)

this teaser is largely for people who don't WATCH D20 at all, hence the longer lead time for marketing, to make sure people who don't normally keep tabs on D20's schedule know when the next season they may be interested in (because these people don't watch the current season to begin with) starts. and, honestly, there is sometimes a problem where people who aren't watching the current season are caught off guard that there is ALREADY a new season, sometimes the lead time between initial teaser and premiere feels so short.

like, I promise people aren't going to STOP watching Neverafter because of this teaser, and D20 isn't going to stop promoting the current season. "we have an upcoming project" isn't a slight against the current project, and it's baffling this is such a common thought—even outside of this specific instance, it's always confusing. I do not understand why people think this is a punishment (again, actual word someone used). why do people think giving proper attention and work to projects means you aren't allowed to speak of each of them near each other.
