i’m such an environment person when it comes to fiction when a story has a cool and distinct environment (built or natural or both) that’s it for me

mind if I come over and behave somewhat like a scared animal before I adjust

love the library. there's no risk. you can take out a book and go "wow this sucks" and just give it back. and when you do that you're still making the library's Number Go Up so you'll be able to roll the dice on even more books. all for the low low price of free/you already paid for it with your tax money so you might as well use it

i see posts here about how people are so mortified when they are acknowledged as being a regular customer somewhere that they never return. cowards. the employees at taco bell treat me like a celebrity. like royalty. i am their strange little pet customer who gets traded along as staff comes and goes. they know my car before i even speak in the drive-thru speaker. today i was 2 hours late and she ran over and squealed that she "thought i'd left them!" and that she "made my order with extra love!" and you what, she did

[ID: drawing of a tarot card, the "four of fuck" of a purple crow lying exhausted in bed. four swords hang horizontally on the wall above them; another is on the floor. an alarm clock reads "3:33." the crow's red eyes are open and they have crossed their wings over their chest. end ID]

the need for rest; contemplation; exhaustion

A lot of people make fun of how “get divorced/breakup” is the go-to response for most r/RelationshipAdvice and r/AmITheAsshole? posts but if your relationship gets to the point where you feel like you can’t talk to anyone IRL and have to ask for advice and opinions online, there is something severely wrong. Sometimes the subjects say it themselves, “I can’t ask my friends and family about this because they already hate my partner and I don’t want to give them ammunition.” abusive relationships isolate the person at the center, make them feel like they constantly have to be on the defensive for their shitty partner. Which is why these people will post about their partner putting them in the most diabolical situation imaginable and then spend their entire afternoon defending them with their whole chest and replying to every comment. All you can do is reiterate “This is not normal behavior. Your partner is not a good person with a couple of flaws, they’re making your life worse. Breakup.” even as a neutral third party who doesn’t know either of these people in real life.

Dude I totally signed on for this gig because I thought it was an ensemble cast adventuring group type situation but low-key dave has been giving protagonist lately :/ yeah I just don’t know how I feel about being a companion you know? Why did the backing track change to a minor key.
