Why is this moment so funny

FIGHTING WITH THE MELODY!

[chekovsphaser]

Had another argument with my mother today.

Topic du jour - apparently doing anything to help your own mental health situation is morally bad. (but of course, only when that applies to her)

When I struggle with basic things I need to do whatever it takes to overcome those obstacles (fair, broadly true). When she struggles with basic things, suggesting my own tried and true strategies for the same exact difficulties is 'minimizing her pain'.

When I am overwhelmed I need to be able to eloquently explain why I am overwhelmed and then stop behaving that way (unfair, impossible). When she is overwhelmed, even the suggestion that she should take a break from ruminating on her anxieties and maybe try to unpack what it is she's afraid of is 'encouraging avoidance'

When I have a mental illness I need to deal with it (true) but when she shows clear obvious and persistent symptoms of a mental illness, I'm the fucking bad guy for saying 'maybe you should look up strategies to manage your anxiety' because that's 'labelling her'

OG 4 Payday gang as D&D classes:

Dallas - either Fighter (bit boring but whatevs) OR Warlock. Warlock requires a bit more imagination but what if the extra-planar entity giving him his magical powers is BAIN? EY? EY?

Chains - Paladin. He gets the heavy armor and heavy hits in. His dedication goes not to some Higher Being or Cause... unless that Cause is cracking skulls and making moneyyyyy. Let's just say his life experiences jaded him a little.

Hoxton - Rogue or Ranger. Rogue because teeheehee sneaky little shit. Ranger because very accurate with the shooting. I honestly think that either suits his personality.

Wolf - Barbarian. The high HP, you might think, would suit Chains better - he would be the tank, soaking up hit after hit from the enemy without falling. But the Barbarian gets to be ANGERY and I think that's the vibe they're going for. Artificer could work, too, if you go down the Wolf + sentries vibe.

stress levels last night (when dealing via multiple phone calls and emails with an out-of-hours government department and also a fire station about something urgent and potentially life threatening)

and today (writing a very strongly worded letter to paypal complaints about a dispute that's been ongoing for 2 months and could be resolved in 5 seconds by anybody with 2 eyes and half a brain after they decided to be frankly insulting about it)

i think i have a career in bomb disposal

So I've been playing Harvestella and every time I think I have a grasp on what's going on in this world something comes out of left field and just makes me have to rethink everything.

Just got a moment that made me go "the fuck is happening in this game anymore?"

I just finished one of Heine's later events, idr which number, the one where you dive down to the part past Fiasola's wreck and of all the things that might have been down there, I was not expecting the GODDAMNED MOON LANDING SPOT.

We are on the moon.

Why are we on the moon?

Where did the Earth go?

Have we looped so far around in humanity that we've just Restarted the human race on a terraformed moon once or twice? (I mean, they re-invented middle-ages catholicism so...)

Did the omens do this?

The fukin Apollo mission flag at the ocean floor was not the puzzle piece I expected to slot into place and start giving me all sorts of New ideas, but here we are.

I audibly said "Wait. We're on the fucking moon??" When I saw the flag.

Story-wise I'm barely just starting chapter 6, about halfway through the haunted theme park, so I'm sure more things will be revealed.

I thought I was figuring things out with the presumed time travel, and the Omens being the man behind the curtain in our merry old land of Oz. There was the post-apocalypse earth with the knock off London eye to let us know whereabouts we were. And then we found a space suit and the Apollo mission flag at the bottom of the ocean and now I'm thinking I have not paid nearly enough attention to the sky in this game.

Also, awful news lads, someone's gone around my fave walking path through the forest and slapped private property signs up all over the place >:(

For the record: I don’t support nor condone using AI for any art/fandom related purposes. Fandom and fandom art, fic, headcanons, etc are great BECAUSE they are made by real people with unique minds!!!

I think that using AI to create art, fic, character interaction, etc not only discourages the real human creators making art/fic for the fandom by taking attention and support away from them, but it provides a better platform for AI to flourish and eventually become more prevalent, continuing to spread and take attention (and work!!) away from real people. For example, as far as I know, painting AI learns from basically stolen artwork and can be trained to emulate the styles of human artists who have spent YEARS to cultivate their skills and style, then take money and attention away from those people. Plus, there was that whole issue where someone was drawing on twitch and someone stole their wip, put it into one of those AI programs to “finish” it before the actual artist, then demanded credit.

I consider myself to be fairly lucky that my work is not in the mainstream eye and that my style changes constantly, otherwise I’d be genuinely worried that someone might try to use AI to undermine the work I’ve done as an artist that has gotten me to where I am.

Maybe I’m just old and jaded but I’ve watched technology grow and spread over my lifetime, and instead of helping people have better lives, it seems to have a habit of taking peoples’ place in work/life and leaving them to either find other work or just fucking cope. AI is not our friend. It’s not a cute, fun way to make fanart or fic— it’s a robot, not a real artist, or a character created by a unique creative mind.

This post pretty much sums it up🤷🏽

LEAVE SEO YUL FUCKING ALONE ISTG JFC

[one-winged-dreams]

there’s a thin line between ‘this portrayal of mentally ill people is harmful’ and ‘this portrayal of mentally ill people is ugly and unflattering but that’s just how it be sometimes’ and some of y’all don’t know how to navigate that shit at ALL.

[devildevotee]

honestly same shit different day. hard block me if you fall into even VAGUELY IMPLYING that people with narcissistic or psychotic traits need to be avoided at all costs. this includes saying shit like people with "chosen one syndrome" are somehow raising a giant red flag. your ideology is dangerous.

[kalpasio]

This is really weird but I want to punch Kevin way more than I do Kalpas, even though Kalpas is the one berating us at every turn. I guess I just have a soft spot for how caring he actually is and I sympathize with his longing for a normal life. I just want him to be happy 🥺😭

something about Kevin though… I want to spray him with a garden hose.

nOLISTEN Kalpas is aggressive and rude, but Kevin is just flat out abrasive at all possible moments and I want to strangle the man. Like Kalpas might hurt my feelings a lil but I Kevin makes me angry enough to rival fiery man and I want to kick his teeth in. I cannot explain it, just I see him on the screen and immediate angy. Get him OUTTA here

[blacksails2017]

did literally 30 seconds of plank and my hip flexor started acting up. is this a joke to you. what am I supposed to do about this

[soryualeksi]

Honestly so crushed and tired because today was the fourth time out of five past work days I got - imo - inappropriately disproportionately chewed out by higher-ups about things that a) HARMED nobody but "only" caused inconvenience and b) were not even entirely within MY control and c) were 90% about failed communication from both ends instead of genuine neglect or even mistakes from my side??

I still like my work, but wow. Some people cam so absolutely go fuck themselves and step in a puddle of cold garbage juice in socks first thing in the morning for a while. Holy shit.

Also I know who, when the "offer" is up next time, will ABSOLUTELY tell the doctor "yes, you're right, sign my sick note for two full weeks instead of just one" rather than going "I gotta go back as soon as I can bear it because so many people are sick already".

ALSO I know who will step back a little on volunteering for inconvenient extra work such as making coffee or cleaning up or re-stocking materials from the annoying cabinet for the next few weeks at least. Find me chilling at a couch with the others k thx bye.

[orcelito]

Ppl r definitely noticing my face scratch lol. It is apparently bruised.

[rattrapdadfigure]

Oh my god

I’m watching a show called Manifest on Netflix so you know spoiler warning lol

Anyways, hetero-amato-normative people are so fucking stupid. I am foaming at the mouth!

So there’s a wife and husband yeah? Husband is gone for 5+ years, presumed dead. Wife gets a boyfriend. Husband miraculously returns and all of the sudden the wife has to choose???

Sure I get that there are monogamous people but why does she have to choose when she LOVE STHEM BOTH GODDAMN. It’s just really frustrating to watch. Like “oh no what ever will we do”

GRFRGGRGRGR POLYGAMY. LITERALLY POLYGAMY. In this economy? Another partner would really help grrrrrr

Plus, this is such a unique situation and their daughter really relies on ALL 3 OF THEM to be her parents. So why are they making it harder than need be?

It’s not like the husband owns the wife 🙄🙄🙄🙄 what is this bullshit

No shade on monogamous couples. Y’all are valid. This situation in particular tho, seems like polygamy is a much better solution 🥲
