I wanted to start my “Persuasion” series of posts today, but...
A new neighbor moved in next door, and they’ve got someone to come in and cut down a whole bunch of trees in their yard.*
And that makes me sad as the death of a puppy. 😭
Plus, I’ve had the sound of a wood-chipper running since 7:30 this morning (it’s now past 1:30 in the afternoon), and it’s loud enough to make the whole house shake.
*People who are not used to living with lots of trees are afraid that they’ll get blown over in a hurricane, and fall on the house. But a thick stand of trees will actually break up the force of the wind, and protect you in a hurricane -- not to mention, the more trees you have in a neighborhood, the cooler it is in the summer.
I am loving Spy x Family but I gotta say... I fucking hate this opening theme song! It's just noise to my ears and makes me feel like I'm getting hives.
does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.
REQUIRED READING for any noisecouple enjoyers: @manicplank 's "the colour pink" fic ITS SOOOO GOOD and i just had to do a little animation of their date.... so so so so cute i love them forever

Kurvitz stresses that Kim doesn't actually have a character sheet hidden in Disco Elysium's code. Imagining that Lieutenant Kitsuragi has only one natural attribute point in Motorics helps the ZA/UM team to understand the depth of his character beyond what's referenced in the game's dialogue. "We just came up with this stuff for coherency," says Kurvitz. "And because we're nerds."
"I like to think Kim has a Thought Cabinet project called Revolutionary Aerostatic Brigades that he's worked on since he was a teenager," Kurvitz says. "This raises the learning caps for his Reaction Speed and Interfacing."
Kim's high Volition skill makes him impervious to prying, Kurvitz says, as the detective can find out on occasions being met with Kim's brick-wall resolve. Kim often chastises these whims of the detective's, but will occasionally play along. The Lieutenant finds his new partner funny, says Kurvitz.
Kim is naturally shit at Motorics and thinks Harry is funny source
