Wanting to draw your redesigns of your favorite characters because you have a lot of headcanons but remembering your are terrible at art might be one of the worst feelings ever

It is a special kind of soul crushing frustration that autocorrect prioritizes brand names over...just the normal word the brand chose to stick on their package.
The one that comes up the most for me is "canon" - how often do I have a conversation about Canon, the brand, versus canon, the word? I'll let you guess. And yet, I cannot make my phone "forget" that "canon" is always capitalized.
I used the word "kickstarted" in a post the other day and my phone autocorrected it to Kickstart.
I can even fully articulate why this fills me with so much rage.

I have never watched stranger things and I'm not interested in watching it any time soon, but I still see your posts and let me tell you... Thinking Max should have stayed dead/is better off dead is not a "hot take", is eugenics

today on: the fucking audacity of these people
my workplace is holding another buffet tomorrow. as you may recall from the last buffet, we (the underpaid employees) are meant to be catering this buffet ourselves.
this time, to make matters even better (worse), they announced this with less than 24 hours notice.
one of the bosses just sent out an email noting that "very few" people had signed up to bring food and we really need to make a decision on if this should even go ahead by 4pm latest, guys!!!
like. motherfuckers. are you for real. we are underpaid. we are in an energy cost crisis. mortgage rates are skyrocketing, and rents will be following. christmas is around the corner. why would you think we, the employees, have the time, inclination, or funds available at a moment's notice to cater a buffet for dozens of people.

so much love for characters who are desperately unsure whether they’re a good person, a redeemable person, a person worth saving, but are absolutely certain that they’re a grade a hottie

happy friday the 13th here are some spooky text-based games for halloween:
contrition - As a priest, it’s your job to listen to your parishioners’ darkest secrets and absolve their guilt. But when a sinister stranger comes to the confessional one Halloween night, you realize it’s your soul on the line.
familiar - You are a familiar. Your mistress has some requests for you. Help her complete her ritual, or pay the price of failure.
jagged bone - A branching choose-your-own-adventure horror game about transformation and perspective.
the forest of candles (and the man with a lighter) - follows Maggie, a young woman with a fear of forest fires sparked by an old town folk tale. She's spent years trying to escape her hometown and the fear it inspires in her, only to be called back for the funeral of an old friend.
mary's hare - Mary's Hare is short interactive horror story about a woman and a rabbit, based on the story of Mary Toft.
only this - "And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming / And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor..."
what girls do in the dark - a slumber party text adventure.
god is in the radio - you are death, one of 22 members of the major arcana, a cult dedicated to some far-off god. the night is halloween, and you watch in scorn as the unknowing dance among devils and dress to indulge in sin. the high priestess receives a message from the all-mighty himself: the arcana must gather in an abandoned house and find his song on an old radio receiver.
anchorhead - Travel to the haunted coastal town of Anchorhead, Massachusetts and uncover the roots of a horrific conspiracy inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft. Search through musty archives and tomes of esoteric lore; dodge hostile townsfolk; combat a generation-spanning evil that threatens your family and the entire world. (illustrated version on itch.io)
my father's long, long legs - An interactive horror story about family, unease, and loss.
beneath floes - Qikiqtaaluk, 1962. The sun falls below the horizon and won't return for months. You wander the broken shoreline, wary of your mother's stories about the qalupalik. Fish woman, stealer of wayward children: she dwells beneath the ice.
the silence under your bed - An interactive horror collection about the strange, the spooky, and the macabre.
bogeyman - You can go home when you learn to be good.

Hate to admit it but I really did chuckle at "Brought to you by the studio who brought you The Boys and Two Day Shipping*". Its just so grim. Like it's clearly Amazon bragging about being Amazon. But the decisions here... you're marketing this to the fallout audience. These games have "Megacorporations are evil" baked into their DNA. Its why vaults exist. It's why FEV exists. It's heavily implied to be why the war started and the bombs fell in the first place. Nearly every single dungeon you go into is a nightmarish hellscape created by an evil megacorporation of one flavor or another. Everyone who has played these games and thought about it for more than half a second can recognize that Amazon, while less cartoonishly evil (but inherently more evil due to being real), is the kind of company that Fallout has always been against at its core. Now they're puppeting it's corpse around and invoking its themes despite its themes being inherently opposed to their existence. Clown ass world.
