#my partner is named after multiple fictional characters that all have the same name for plausible deniability and as a homage to all?

normalize having more than one best friend. "best friend" shouldn't just be a title reserved for one person... best friend is a species...

#i dunno this doesn't seem like a bad thing to me #this is just nature #your body's gonna feed something someday #might as well be contributing to something beautiful #and at that level of separation you're not eating the girl you're eating the memory of her #which could be a comfort

Anyone: Hey (asks about a special interest of mine)? Me: Becomes an unskippable cutscene

#me asking my friends questions about their special interests deliberately #bc i love them and wanna see them happy

no multi option, agonize and choose, no results option, pick one to find out or scroll onward

#going with the laundry only bc the plate would be too dangerous #i would leave so much food in my room overnight bc it would still be fine the next day

Time to settle this

#sorry im gonna be homestuck here and say H2D #just because there really is nothing quite like playing hiveswap 2 #and having the whole game be interrupted for at least an hour of an ace attorney parody segment #and having THAT be interrupted when everyone involved in the case starts arguing about boybands #bc they're all like 14

personally would really enjoy a dr who episode where the whirlwind single-episode romance (a la the girl in the fireplace) is between the companion and a historical figure instead of the doctor. And while the short-lived love story should be beautiful in its own right I think there should also be a moment of realization at the inevitable tragic end where the companion is like oh this is what love is like for you all the time.

Hot take: “I’m sure this work of fiction has artistic merit, but it does something that I’m sick to death of seeing, and I don’t want to consume it” is an entirely reasonable, valid position to have, and people don’t have to justify it beyond that.

thinking about that post thats like. to avoid bloatware every game dev team should be required to have one guy that has to play the game on a shitty laptop. in the same spirit i think every movie and tv director should have to watch their movie/show on a small tv or laptop screen in a bright room and fix the lighting until its possible to see whats going on on the screen in those conditions

#like i have a pretty decent laptop! #but like #for example bg3 is one third of the entire total space on this thing #i couldn't play it if i wanted to #and god mooooood on the lighting conditions

Note: This blog is run & followed by aromantics. Insisting any pairs are ~actually romantic~ will not only cause you to be blocked on the spot, but you’ll be outed as someone not safe to be queer around. No one wants to hear how stupid you look with those shipping goggles on.

#cant believe megamind is losing so badly to the other two #did they mean nothing to you

Hey, nerds! I love drawing maps. Like a lot. But there's no demand for them, so I can only do them in my limited free time. But I've had a hankering to add color...maybe a grid? to these so they could actually be used on the table.

If I continued doing these/colored these up, would any of you be interested in buying physical map copies of these and/or PWYW digital copies of these?

#i have learned through experience i'd rather be a player than gm #but i might forward these to my friends who are gms bc they look very cool!

[atalana]

if you don‘t personally own one but your roommates/parents do and you are allowed to use it, that counts as yes

#i own an iron but not an ironing board i just put a towel down on my desk #and i do use it but not like. for every load of laundry. i do not have the energy for that #i use it for sewing projects and when something specifically needs to look professional #my parents were the iron every load of laundry type though so ironing was often on my list of chores as a kid #zillenial

I’ll never forget reading that tracy chapman interview about fast cars when she basically said it’s funny how people thing it’s based on my life but I’m a lesbian from the city yall straight girls stay safe tho <3

#......i'll be honest i just assumed it was about her life but the person with the fast car was also a girl #it never specifies man

#les anges dans nos campagnes is one of those songs that i just cannot hear referenced without immediately wanting to sing it #its just got such a fun verse structure and then yeah you get an 18 syllable gloria! #(i do this one with my mum at christmas - hence why i don't know the english version sorry - and she likes to harmonise on top its great)

[atalana]

#always on shuffle being able to predict what song comes next grates at my brain #but whether that's whole library playlist or album depends on the vibe
