#we Have Not kept track

Scrolling through OC ask memes is very funny sometimes because a good handful of them have questions that... we don't think apply terribly well.

Yeah, they're a bug, tattoos are a bit complicated. They can't swim because they're an insect. Their ancestry is Cricket and their blood type is green. They don't know what a car is.

I don’t like getting intense over petty things, but why are people calling large paragraphs “bad formatting” now. It’s just formatting. Sometimes, a larger paragraph serves its text well, and sometimes it doesn’t, and there is a LOT more that goes into making a text block readable than length alone.

Please please please fucking please stop inventing all-encompassing arbitrary rules about what features define “good” art and “bad” art.

the thing i love about bill cipher is that even after i've learned all of this stuff about him, seen him at the most vulnerable he'll ever get, seen him at his most innocent, i still can't give a flying fuck about trying to justify his actions. yes he's traumatized, yes he was twisted into what we know today, and while it gives a semblance of context to why he did what he did, it doesn't matter. he still ruined ford's life. he still drove and baited multiple humans to suicide. he still tormented every human he saw as his ticket out of the consequences of his own actions. he still took delight in his actions. he was willing to commit genocide for fuck's sake!!! (freezing all of the humans into statues). trying to explain away what he did does not get rid of what he did, but it certainly puts it in perspective. you won't be catching me being a bill apologist any time soon <3

remember how we were told from the very beginning that we were not supposed to take hitoya seriously at all lmao

watching zootopia with my girlfriend we both just keep saying “they’re so yuri” “they’re so yaoi” whenever nick and judy do anything

I won't lie ... it's a little odd that the big, coveted 3* of the Season (Don Quixote's) isn't in the center. Is she going to be in the three slots up top?

I have finally FINALLY got up to the dream scene at the start of the last mabelcorn in kmky and everything is flowing nicely finally, and the scenes and characterisation all are smooth and make sense and I am no longer going over the same establishing scenes like a pedant trying to make them perfect. SUCCESS!

Just have to knock out these next few bits then it's onto unicorn beatdowns, funny hats, pizza parties and loophole heists!

I just want to write fanfic. But. I’m in one of those phases!!!! Where I can’t. Because Of Cringe

Help... My grandma's first and last initials are S and she, apparently, got refrigerator magnets of her initials (you can see where this is going)...

So now in the middle of her fridge, she's got a random SS on there 😭

Finnish writing problems, pronoun edition.

So, trying to write RP posts on our DnD group's in-character chat with the big blue nerd.

Using the word "hän" (he/she/singular they) feels overly formal and kinda awkwardly pompous among just normal sounding narration*, as that's mostly used in written language. Using "se" (it) as is the way in spoken Finnish feels weird as well, because this is text and not speech, and the character isn't human while still being a person, so it's kinda double headscratcher. Using the character's race is special brand of awkward, as dragonborn translated to Finnih is lohikäärmesyntyinen which is just So Dang Many Syllables long. In the end I keep cycling through just the character's name (Verna), class ("velho" as in wizard) and "tämä" (this)

Kinda feels like playing as a kid and using tämä/se/tuo (this/it/that) as kinda substitute pronouns for I/you/he-she-they-it speaking kinda past one's self and about the characters. Don't even know if English does that too, I just find it kinda fascinating to think about.

* I have a habit of typing my texts as in spoken Finnish instead of the proper book language, but those two are pretty different dialects anyway and the more I think about mixing the two the weirder it gets.

So last night I made out with my friend (hopefully soon to be partner. We're talking some stuff out) and aside from just being really fun, I learned I apparently really like teasing them and I may not actually be 100% submissive

I've had anxiety pretty much all my life and having my fears/concerns brushed off is not a new thing for me and sometimes it's justified, but it is uniquely annoying in this case because I keep being right, repeatedly, throughout the pandemic, and people are still acting like I'm just being my panicky self and it's not as big a deal as I'm making it.

thinking about all the forms of magic MC has used, just suddenly as if they are fully trained. also the lack of magical tools used feels weird? Like we got a rune ward for rune carving, and a shadow seeker vacuum, a fragment of aideens light and a bottle of aideens tears but these all do... nothing? We dont use the rune wand to help channel energy, or rune-work outside of that one questline.

idk if it's just me but with some of the more recent late-game quests it feels as though MC has suddenly become adept in magic after training in the Sun circle (& doing minor work in the lightning and moon circle). It feels quite... offputting but that could just be me being weird

Debating black jacquard curtains for the closet. Oob thinks it would be “too much black” in my very small bedroom, but I’m inclined to disagree. I liked the white when my room leaned more airy Victorian, but it’s decidedly more gothic these days.
