unfortunately nothing else i could try to do is interesting to me at the moment. so now i am thinking about. cleo session 5. i mean i think an argument could be made that it's there from session 1 or 2 (what is it she tells martyn? she's a survivor?), but the red life bunker. the way she keeps talking about who might be coming after them, whether they should stay on the move. the fact that she even thinks to check the ranch for traps. she goes to talk to ren and bigb and goes out of her way to approach them from the side, with her sword in hand. i know i just said there's no real difference between cleo and scott deciding to stick together and tango and jimmy deciding the same, but. there is the fact that of every pair i watched, tango and jimmy were the only ones who didn't even try to communicate using the soulbound. (even bdubs + impulse, who also play their relationship as straightforwardly caring, don't totally have this -- bdubs jumps off ledges to take a tick of damage and goes "now he's thinking of me!") and there's something about. team rancher not really having to constantly think about soulbound damage as a concern. and tango spending his last moments alive looking around himself as if the danger is something he'll be able to see. and the idea that even if you can't stop someone from getting hit you can at least know where it's coming from if your partner's right in front of you. and something about if you stick with your soulbound that is... one less direction from which danger is unknown and unpredictable? and it's just annoying in session 1, but by session 5, with most of the server on red, that's just! another way things are scary! it doesn't matter if cleo builds up walls around her house or hunkers down in her panic room or stays away from big fights and steep cliffs, because there is always still a direct path from danger to her that she can't do anything about or even necessarily anticipate. and here she is, desperately trying anyway.

something so fucked up about Chat Noir’s whole deal is that he is in a lot of ways Adrien playing a character. Like Adrien picked up his miraculous and was told he’d be a superhero so he was like “ok, time to act like a superhero!” and he lets himself have fun w it and play up the role and let loose and kind of just allow himself to be silly and goofy and have fun and for once in his life not care about performing Perfection™.
But. But none of the other characters KNOW THAT. So everyone just sees Chat Noir and is like “look at this guy’s ego. He’s so full of himself. Surely it’d be fair to knock him down a few pegs” without being aware of how few pegs he actually HAS. He’s like the “insecure character who overcompensates in ego” trope except he’s really not doing it unironically, he’s just having a fun LARP pretending to have self worth in his off-hours but nobody else is on the same page about it being a game and he refuses to tell them. He just dramatically pouts about it and lets them laugh and pretends like he’s not internalizing it and it is almost 3 am and my brain forced me to write this instead of sleeping I’m gonna take a melatonin

As much as i love Dungeon Meshi, i do think that given Ryoko Kui's attention to realistic worldbuilding there ought to be a companion series called Dishes Meshi where they spend 2hrs washing and drying and packing away. Alll the goddamnfuck dishes they just made

my mom is suicidal, help me get her to a therapist
i won't go into details, but she's had severe depression since i was a little kid and it's been getting worse every year. our material circumstances not being great ever since covid finally got to her and she really, really needs help. she's the kindest, most talented, wise and wonderful person i know and i don't want to lose her to mental illness. i've been begging a lot these past two years but this time we need it the most. the appointments in my country cost only around 20$ so even the smallest donations would help immensely.
i obviously have commissions open ranging from 30 to 150$ with examples below but if you want to donate,
i'll set a goal just so i can see progress. this will cover 5 appointments:
0/100$

isn't it weird how if you get up at 7 or 8, do your work all day, then have free time and go to bed at 11 that's absolutely fine
but if i said i get up at 10, do fun stuff in the morning then work in the evening and go to bed late, i could be called lazy, nevermind that i'm getting just as much or MORE work done as i would in a traditional work day

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.
It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

one of my favorite things about zedaph is that on a server full of people that find strange and oft-overlooked minecraft mechanics or rare events and then see just how far they can push them in the name of spectacle or efficiency or world-breaking, zed is over here finding these mechanics in order to do the weirdest things he can think of in as entertaining a manner as possible
like i 100% have faith in zedaph's theoretical ability to be just as efficient or spectacular or world-breaking. if he wanted to do that stuff, i trust that he absolutely could. but thats so far from being his priority. instead, hes going to spend around a week of irl time focused entirely on eventually having the good luck to spawn in something insanely rare so that he can convert it into something even rarer, the result of which being something that 99% of the server reacts with complete and utter shock that it even exists in the first place, just because its zany and funny and he wanted to. and i love that

I’m fully expecting matt’s twitter behavior rn to be an intentional harassment campaign of constantly poking and prodding at trans women until they say something that could potentially be construed as a death threat and then retaliating in full force to attempt to get them banned off of twitter as well. I mean, he really, REALLY wants to interpret these things as death threats.
