googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much

fat character who becomes a vampire and loses a ton of weight and blood can not sate their hunger but they can't eat anything they used to like anymore. everyone views it as a positive healthy positive development but they're starving and dying slowly but never truly dying, a living corpse. this is a metaphor for something

just had an absolutely atrocious thought

[nissas-messpit]

I still get excited when my friends refer to me as their friend

"My friend said" "this is my friend" "they're my friend"

Im freaking out inside every time

Oh hey, this same line of thought rips through me every time I see Shane (SDV) as a pony and they make his cutie mark a pint of beer! It's like, no... alcoholism is not his special talent! If he was a brewer, sure but no! It'd be something way different, like an egg or a feather, I dunno. Cutiemarks can also be just something that makes the pony special, like if they have high empathy or are naturally funny!

okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.

twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.

i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good a cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.

so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.

"I know what I know boy, and I'm not telling!"

Ah yes, the 3 genders. Male, female, and “what the fuck are you, a cop?”

It's come to my attention that a large popular blog here in the Stardew Tumblr community, the SDV Confessions blog, is pro AI content. I don't think I've ever followed that blog, but let me make my stance clear on AI in case anyone is curious.

Fuck AI. It's coming for my job, my hobbies, and is being forced down our throats everywhere- applications, photo sharing, even my own personal messages to family and friends. I don't ever want to be seen as endorsing AI content in any way, shape, or form. If I have ever unknowingly engaged in AI content, please bring it to my attention so I can swiftly remove my support.

It's the antithesis of what I believe is the creative experience. And that will always be my position.

If Sherlock Holmes was Isekai'd to a fantasy world he would just deduce the rules of this world and get back to solving crimes. He'll find an elf girl sidekick,name her Watson, and pretend like nothing happened.
