I wanna be a tutorial giver. Like just go up to people in public who are clearly tourists and new to [my city] and just be like

"To take a photograph, select your camera from the weapon wheel by holding the left trigger and moving the left directional stick. Then, aim at your subject using the right directional stick, and press the A button to take a photograph! Photos will be stored in the section of the inventory menu labelled 'Photos' which you can access at any time by pressing the start button and navigating using the left and right bumpers."

(not a complete list) as a background character in a show, here is some of the things i’ve talked about that you won’t hear;

a dog eating a lemon (very cute we also side eyed the mc)

putting out cigarettes in a meatloaf

tests (show is a high school series)

teacher who is getting a divorce

pedo teacher

the fact that i have pet rats, and one rat bite my toe

“what the fuck are we suppose to do?”

“did we miss our cue?”

“i think i looked in the camera”

the diversity corner (trans guy, trans girl and chinese girl)

random history facts i made up

how they don’t know how kids act

these people have probably never been to a school

how awkward it is

just genuinely ranting over random shit

A letter to the NPC manager at work.

Sorry but, I can't be "no thoughts head empty" with a dumb little smile on my face that screams oblivion at my desk for 8 hours a day. I am either too human or not human enough time to sit and only focus on work by giving myself a panic attack. My job is too low effort and unfulfilling for me to not use my phone as a way to direct my thoughts away from an existential nightmare.

The fastest way to realize life is one big pointless joke is to work in an office job doing simple tasks and letting the 99% that's left of your brain power to overthink about everything and nothing.

I'm going to continue to be on my phone because I'm already done with my work. So, unless you want me to twiddle my thumbs and pretend to be doing work then I don't know what else you want from a girl whose job barely affords her privilege to live.

Sincerely fuck you and your empty default head.

Yesterday I had the most "this is a simulation" moment ever because as i went out of the station I saw a bald man with a can of beer walking randomly, I passed a few streets and out of the blue another man who looked a lot like the one before but with different clothes and a beer from another brand passed ... Like they were two NPC!! Literally!

there's a secret world of beautiful human interaction that opens up when you're a delivery driver who's nice to restaurant workers. two days ago a lady at a donut shop gave me a free donut and coffee for breakfast because i was a doordasher picking up an enormous order at six in the morning. an old man in a hotel lobby at 2 AM fervently told me "be safe out there" as i was leaving. the same happened with a guy working at a 24-hour mexican place at 3 AM. (i imagine being a woman-thing doing deliveries in the middle of the night worries people.) sometimes i tell mcdonalds workers, "it's okay, take your time," and they'll wilt with relief like "girl. you will not BELIEVE the night we're having." i talked to another doordasher while we were waiting to pick up orders from a fast food chain and he showed me some ridiculous messages from his last customer like "can you Believe this lady. UNREAL." i feel like a character in a video game who knows all the secret thieves cant nonsense to speak to people in the criminal underworld, except it's just like. knowing all the words that suddenly turn off the customer service persona in the NPCs.

ok but the fact that Kim Dokja's job was QA for a video game company just makes... so much sense

I've done QA before (not for games, but in general). The point of QA is to be a stress test, to see if a system has any flaws or loopholes or breaking points before it reaches its intended audience

if you wanna see what video game QA looks like, drop by letsgameitout on youtube and watch him destroy some games from the inside

And imagine setting a person like that loose in the setting of a world that has been their special interest every single day for the past 13 years

of course he has all the speedrun strats down, his brain is a finely honed tool designed to destroy any system it touches via technicality and persistence

I really want to get into Unicorn Overlord because that prologue slaps and it sounds like an interesting gameplay experience

but

the designs are just...

Camel toes, battle thongs and bouncing boobies that would straight up be from some of the worst FEH alts, furry baits (forget the sniddies, we have foxtits and... owl boobs...) and leg art that would make Duo!Doro look tame in comparaison.

What to do...

Ok but what if Ephemer’s and Player’s hearts are like literally connected (really really literally)

Maybe like, small pieces of each other heart being traded, or i guess other magical ways

So if the theory of Sora being the third reincarnation of the player.. (even tho I don’t like this theory cause both deserves to have their heart, specifically Sora with his heart hotel moments)

Maybe thats how Ephemer soul showed up in KH3? Cause the connection to player that stayed within Sora, this theory pretty common right?

And if thats works one way, could also go the other way no?

Ephemer summoning the Player’s soul with the hearts connection. Maybe even unintentionally, suddenly poof the player is there as a ghost!

Sounds like interesting angst. Maybe thats would be also like.. why the player took pretty long to reincarnated to missing link area cause Ephemer was still around so Player’s soul tied up to his heart.

i once had an anti tell me to stop sexualizing their trauma on a story i wrote that was a word for word retelling of my own actual trauma but with names changed and its been 2 years and i still cant stop thinking about that

Ah, yeah... Unfortunately a non-insignificant number of antishippers seem to genuinely believe they own the concept of trauma, so any story they read that they believe to be portrayed in a romanticized or sexualized light therefore must be romanticizing/sexualizing their trauma specifically.

I couldn't tell you the amount of times I've gotten the "stop sexualizing my trauma!!!!!!" or adjacent comments from antishippers that universally garner a response that basically boils down to

Like, bitch! I'm talking about my trauma! I literally did not even know you existed until you fucking commented!

At what point do you leave a D&D game because it’s not fun to go anymore and is it when your DM TPKs the entire party instantly with a 9th-level max damage Fireball presumably because he doesn’t like the way an interaction with an NPC went.

learning abt friendship decay and "not reaching out to your friends for months at a time unprompted is not neurotypical behaviour" has me feeling a certain way
