Drunkenly insisted he come over, changed his mind 5min from my apartment, ghosts me for a week. I lightheartedly called him out for not rescheduling getting drinks and catching up that he suggested, so he reschedules. He makes heavy handed moves on me all night until he fucks me. Immediately says it was a mistake and promptly leaves without looking at me until he says goodbye. 2 weeks and nothing has been said. He then texts me, no hey how are you, asking if I'd been tested. Was like pulling teeth getting out of him that he'd been experiencing symptoms and suspects trich. I was tested after we slept together last time and was good, but to ease his anxiety I say I'll get tested again. I send him my results 2 days later. He purposefully miscommunicates and says "I'm all good". I voice that while I appreciate him wanting to let me know, that it caused me anxiety and he could've just waited until he knew for sure. He says he misspoke and hasn't actually gotten his results back and assume all clear since we both were negative previously (huh?!). Almost a full week goes by and he finally gets his negative results and sends me only the trich results. I rightfully ask if he got the full panel or just a test for trich. He sends me all the results, but only bc I asked. I reiterate that he could've just waited for the results to tell me because it stressed me out.

He finally admits that someone he slept shortly before me (unclear when) tested positive and he wanted to be on the safe side. I'm not in the mood for a fight so I just said ok that makes more sense.

Like I'm so fucking tired. He's such a fucking manipulative liar with serious communication and emotional immaturity issues. I literally do not give a fuck that you sleep with other people, just don't fucking lie and manipulate me holy shit. And the audacity to get defensive when I neutrally tell you how this whole thing made me feel instead of being passive and soft about it, is fucking WILD. Like I just know he's painted me as the crazy girl in his head because I call him out on his hypocritical and manipulative bullshit even in a neutral way. Like if you had just been honest from the fucking start I wouldn't have to match your fuckass attitude omfg

I just watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show for the first time and I genuinely think my brain in leaking out my ears

[gingermintpepper]

drop the link on that fic of Zeus being a good dad?

Absolutely my friend!

As you can see, it's called Trials of Fatherhood by the lovely @z-eusie and in-between my agonies and right now, she's actually updated the fic and now the Apollo chapter is live!! Everyone should go read this fic, actually! It's a wonderful little compilation of moments that allow for showing both the ugliness and beauty of the gods when taken from a nuanced, compassionate perspective and it's always been one of my favourites to go back to every now and then just because of how fond I am of it. I'm especially fond of the Athena and Dionysus chapters myself but I hope everyone finds their favourite one. <33

you know when someone kinda corny comments on your post almost intentionally obtuse and condescending without even a touch of whimsy? they should just make a linkedin page I swear to god that is your perfect golden platform

I swear this has become my rant account but OH WELL.

I just finished watching Wallace and Grommet: Vengeance most Foul and HOLY HELL do I have some thoughts.

Obviously, SPOILER WARNING for the film, it's great and genuinely a good watch whether it be as a family film or just a personal watch as a fan of animation.

Okay, the message of the film... Not sure if I like them. Sure, I agree with the whole 'its not robots that are evil, but the people that use them that make them that way' thing that's going on in the film. But that ending really put me off.

For those that didn't notice it, it's clearly a commentary on ai and the general use of it - with the film acknowledging that the programmers need to earn a living too, which - fair. It's impressive what goes into the making of these things and I sure as hell couldn't do it, trust me, I did try.

However, I don't like the subplot of it being used to *help* those that it's replacing. Sure, that might be the well meaning intention behind them, and there was the part of us not needing to rely on technology thing. But, tell me why they still had the knom- (nomb? Idk how to spell it) -bots working on the garden at the end, despite the fact that they showed it being something Grommet enjoys doing at the very beginning.

Yes, show them cleaning the house or something, it gives the audience an example of them ACTUALLY being helpful - but why get them taking over a thing that is actually enjoyable - the planting plants, watering them, stuff that is actually really good for people's mental health. This really gives off a bad message of - we should just live with it because it helps us, even if it's doing something we enjoy and it's making me feel super conflicted about the film.

So yeah.

Hope you enjoyed the film if you watched it lol - I actually really did despite my thoughts on the ending.

👍

[maddogmp3]

fun things that happened at idkhow philly

during vip, when asked about the gloom division cover art and what inspired it, dallon mentioned that he represented the sin of pride! i forgor what movie he said inspired the black tar

also during vip, breezy amelie and knox were bowling. because the brooklyn bowl is in fact an active bowling alley. also amelie is fucking TALL

apparently he and breezy have a short list of brobecks songs he'd like to remake with idkhow and on that list is ollie, BIG WIN FOR TRANSGENDER PEOPLE!!!

also apparently their ronnie (their drummer) keeps breaking snares. king please stop drumming so hard

benches were okay! i was not into their energy but the frontman was kinda cute

i dont remember when this happened but The Concert Baby.

the Concert Baby had some sick dance moves

DALLON WEEKES MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE <3 he wrapped the mic cord around his neck like right in front of me but i didnt get a picture

i think anthony had glitter on his face? his face was very sparkly

right before kiss goodnight, dallon talked about how his family flew out to philly and he was so excited abt it he couldnt sleep

to roughly quote my dear friend cricket, he prances around onstage like a newly born deer frolicking in the fields

when the band came back onstage for encore, there was a pick like right on the edge of the stage and after some wild gesturing anthony gently placed it into my hands. i will cherish this moment in my mind for the rest of forever

wow

I sure do love signing into a class and getting a video from my instructor aggressively insinuating that myself and my classmates are idiots because he was using a very specific definition of the word teamwork, that was not ever in the book we're reading from, for our last assignment. So far the course has been us independently reading parts of the book, uploading our presentations that are based on a bare-bones rubric then the instructor boomer yelling at us in a video about how we're idiots for not understanding the exact and unspecified definitions he has for things (oh and it all has the underlying flavor of that kids these days need to be more independent and to stop being 'soft' ignoring that this course is supposed to be teaching us things rather than confirming that we know things)

[lesbienneanarchiste]

Hate when I'm trying to find a recipe for smth I've never made before and all the recipes I find have completely different ingredients and/or proportions and/or preparation steps. Especially when it's something I don't want to have to waste ingredients on if I have to trial-and-error my way through. You want me to waste half a bag of flour?? In this economy????

[dykehayleywilliams]

orgy at the funeral home

[goatsandgangsters]

the good news is that I finished a book and it got me out of my reading slump where I would start things, not finish, switch to something else, not finish

the bad news is that "yes daddy" by jonathan parks-ramage is one of the worst written books I've read in a whiiiile. bland expositiony prose, flat characters, a bunch of weird plot detours. Written like a 200-page Wikipedia summary instead of an actual book

the worst news is that it has such intensely favorable gushing reviews on goodreads, and the people who hated it mostly hated it for a different reason, and so I'm left alone like oKAY BUT THE PROSE WAS SHIT, HOW DO YOU NOT SEE THIS

[chiropteracupola]

hm well if you must have the characters in your nineteenth-century novel call each other by their first names, then it is nice when they happen to have first names that are very easily taken for surnames

[spaceexploreunit]

Gotham Knights is like a fusion of Arkham, Yakuza, and Spiderman. It's slightly unfortunate that trying to do all three styles meant that none of them really had the chance to shine.
