My one friend group can't stop saying, "See you in hell!" in a cheerful voice instead of, "Talk to you later!" and my other friend group can't stop calling things "penis" instead of "cool" or "good", so I just unironically uttered the phrase, "Sounds penis, see you in hell," as I got off the phone.

(me, my parents, my sister, and the baby are sitting at the kitchen table eating lunch)

baby, pointing at the light fixture over the table and signing "on": o.*

my sister: we actually can't turn that light on right now, because the lightbulb inside is burnt out! it needs a new one.

baby: ighbu.

sister: yes, lightbulb! granddaddy said after we eat he's going to climb up there on a ladder and change it, and then the light will come on!

baby: gadada! adda, uuu! ighbu o!

sister: exactly!

baby, signing "on" and pointing at the light and then my dad, with increasing urgency: GADADA ADDA UUUU. O.

my sister: we're going to finish eating first though, ok?

baby: nonono. O. gadada adda uuu.

[a split second goes by]

baby, pointing to himself: ba. adda uuu. ighbu.

me: you're going to climb the ladder and change the lightbulb yourself?

baby: dzyeah. *pointing to the buckle where he is buckled into the high chair* ububu.

me: unbuckle you? so you can change the lightbulb?

baby, highly businesslike: dzyeah.

*pronounced like "on" without the n

it’s so bizarre when animated American films are set in a certain location and then only certain characters have the accents of that place. It makes no damn sense!! like

you need to get it out of your mind that psychosomatic illness is just “making up symptoms” when it’s actually much more like your body is being actively poisoned by chemicals released from your brain

died and came back exactly the same but something was so so so wrong with me before and now I have an excuse to really lean into it

I was thinking about how two of the otome I've enjoyed the most in the last couple of years are ones where the main character is a girl who pretends to be a man due to her circumstances (Birushana and Jack Jeanne), aside from Hakuouki having been my historical otome obsession for over a decade. When I was younger, my favorite Sailor Moon character was Uranus. Revolutionary Girl Utena was one of my favorite anime and Juri my favorite character. Whatever the whole Cardcaptor Sakura cast had going on was my jam. I reread the Rose of Versailles so many times I can't count them. Haruhi from Ouran was the best and most relatable main character ever. Ranka was an icon. Androginous male characters have consistently been my favorites since forever. I always cosplayed guys, and nothing has beaten the feeling of stunning my two lesbian friends into silence the day I dressed as Mukuro from KHR and it suited me so well that I didn't recognize myself in the mirror. What I mean is that at some point you would think I would've put two and two together before 30, but you'd be wrong.
