A small purr left his vocals, at her words. "Mm, perhaps, perhaps not." He mused, glossa running between his derma. So much lack of innocence, one way or another. The engex only made his frame purr louder, joints loosening, tanks feeling tingly, head module easing. He ordered another cube, a stronger one, without sweetener. He drank half of it in one go, his systems told him to slow down. He chuckled at it and brought his attention to Steamtrack.

"Would you like another lick upon your helm, or was one enough?" His vocals tinted with an undertone of a hiss. His frame scooted closer once more. Servos twitched, eager to touch, be it to tease, or to claw. Both options crossed his processors. He decided on carefully placing his servo down at the surface of her thigh plating.

His helm tilted, frame leaned forward. Questioning look upon his faceplates while his glossa lapped over his upper derma. Part of him wanted to let loose, push her against the counter, right there, for everyone to see. While the other part, wanted to nudge and poke at her, until she was the one to make a move upon him. Such fun choices that invaded his engex filled processors.

❝ The moment that he reached for his cube, she reached for her own. She matched his pace, downing what she had remaining in the cube in a single gulp. A buzz rushed over her as it settled in her tanks - they had been pace matching the entire time, right? Was this her third or fourth? She was beginning to not really care - she had enough shanix saved up specifically for a night of letting loose like this.

She continued to listen, licking a small drop of engex from the corner of her mouth as she did. A small laugh left her at the mention of innocence. Had she ever really been innocent? Born in the Pits and practically raised for the battlefield. "That is true enough... though I have my doubts that you're speaking about moral innocence right now."

She hummed as her smirk widened a little, one servo reaching up to rub her cheek a little as his oral fluid started to dry and made her cheekplates feel a little stiff. Her optics were brighter than they had been earlier - due to engex or her thoughts wandering where they probably shouldn't, though she wasn't quite sure she cared. It wasn't as if he could read her processor, or even really judge her for what she imagined for that single moment cause she was sure he thought the same... in a sense. ❞

{ Was looking back at all my old Symphogear fics, same for videos, and felt a bit nostalgic in missing Miku and Hibiki. I still think about writing them, and I remember wanting to make Hibiki again for a fresh start, to start over elsewhere. Might end up doing that, we shall see. Miku’s blog MIGHT be fine since she’s a bit more lowkey already but maybe I’d write them both in the same place, who knows.

Anyway rambling out loud fff }

There’s this guy in town who owns this little house, and a while back he rescued a street dog that was going to get put down. Turned out she was pregnant.

Problem is, he has mental health & drug issues and couldn’t afford to get them all spayed & neutered, so now there are 6 grown bitches with 15 puppies total, and they’ve dug under his fence in multiple places but he can’t afford to fix it so they go roaming all around town. (When I say can’t afford it, I mean his house is currently running on a generator because he can’t afford his electric bill.) He’s also a day laborer so he cannot take multiple full days off work to take them to the vet an hour away. He’s in a really rough spot.

He’s not a bad person. He’s just overwhelmed.

And this little conservative town with 6 churches for 300 people, have they tried to help their neighbor? Have they adopted the puppies he’s been trying to give away? Have they offered resources?

NOPE! All they wanna do is talk shit about him and complain about the dogs but never lift a finger of their own. And they come to his house to yell at him and cuss him out about the dogs, which does not exactly engender in him a cooperative attitude, as you might imagine.

So after a while of this going on, my mom gets fed up with all the NIMBY bullshit and starts talking to the guy, because she’s done animal rescue for 20-odd years and has Connections. He’s resistant at first, but when he realizes she’s not being an asshole to him on account of his addiction or the dogs, he decides to let her help.

She gets to work organizing and networking. Finds a non-profit that will cover vaccinations, spay/neuter, and flea treatments for all the dogs. Talks the next-door neighbor into paying for materials to fix the fence, since this guy can do the work of it himself. Gets him in touch with another non-profit that will adopt out the adult dogs.

Less than 2 weeks after she decided to do something, all puppies have been to the vet, 10 puppies and 4 adult dogs have been adopted out, and the second non-profit is coming by next week to pick up the remaining 7 dogs to ship them out for adoption.

I’ve learned a lot of things from my mom—some good, some bad—but I think the most important positive message she lives as an example of is this: sometimes, when something needs done and no one else is willing, you gotta stand up and say “I’ll do it.”

[defilerwyrm]

Growth capitalism is a deranged fantasy for lunatics.

Year 1, your business makes a million dollars in profit. Great start!

Year 2, you make another million. Oh no! Your business is failing because you didn't make more than last year!

Okay, say year 2 you make $2 mil. Now you're profitable!

Then year 3 you make $3 mil. Oh no! Your business is failing! But wait, you made more money than last year right? Sure, but you didn't make ENOUGH more than last year so actually your business is actively tanking! Time to sell off shares and dismantle it for parts! You should have made $4 mil in profit to be profitable, you fool!

If you're not making more money every year by an ever-increasing exponent, the business is failing!

Absolute degenerate LUNACY

is that piece of media actually bad, or is it just not following the blueprint you projected onto it? is that work actually not good, or are you just demanding something from it that is absolutely antithetical to its themes, genre, tone, and narrative goal? is that story actually poorly written, or do you just dislike that it is not the specific things you wanted from it that it never set out to be, never was, and never is going to become? is it actually bad, or is it actually well-executed and you just dislike the story it chose to be because it isn't catering to your specific desires and expectations?
