[A sad violin song plays over an image of a sad hamster]
Pac: This doesn't have anything to do with me – I wear a blue sweatshirt, you're crazy, this mouse doesn't even have a sweatshirt, this hamster! [Reading chat] Am I a depressed hamster?

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.
Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!
Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

I once saw a post that was like "Radahn and Malenia are half siblings what beef could they have" and like you cannot possibly comprehend the beef that half-siblings children of divorce can have with one another.
I'm going to make a confession I never got the whole "we shouldn't argue in front of my family" "its rude to argue when other people are visiting" blanket rule*. Maybe I just grew up in a household where everyone yelled at eachother all the time but I feel its a little strange to suddenly act like conflict is illegal like we're medieval courtiers
*saying blanket rule because there are many situations where it makes sense to do this
How each rescue bot would try to comfort you during a storm.
Blades: Oh wow it's really pouring out there huh? You know this reminds me of the big acid storms back on Cybertron, the streaks of lightning were so large that the whole sky would light up.
Boulder: Hey, it's gonna be ok. Remember that after a big storm, always comes a rainbow, and then I'll take you out to the park where we can see the dewdrops on the flower petals.
Chase: The rain here is quite different than the acid storms back on Cybertron. It doesn't sting and it has a fresh scent, it's also feels refreshingly vibrant and this lightning is also very ephemeral.
Heatwave: This is what is making you afraid and cowering by me? It's only a little bit of rain, there's nothing to be scared of, the lightning isn't even that loud either.
something something. i do have "problematic" fave characters but it feels weird to me to look at art where characters are crafted with nuance and love and go "but this one's problematic" when that is arguably the point of writing a character with such depth to begin with. could i call daniil dankovsky or james sunderland problematic? of course. but that feels like a really juvenile and misguided way of interacting with them. i could call the whole saw cast problematic and it would be true but also incredibly laughable given that this is arguably the point of the franchise. idk i just think the term "problematic fave" feels like a sort of hollow assessment of characters who are either A, living in a world full of problematic characters (how do you differentiate) or B, written with more complexity than a saturday morning cartoon villain (no shit sherlock)
reducing a presidential election down to the trolley problem is kind of fucking insane to me. like you HAVE to stop looking down on everyone who is anti-Biden as being young or stupid or morally undeveloped. yes Trump would likely be worse on Israel and his views on Israel alone are even more terrifying than Biden, and yes there may be a huge chance Palestinian support shifts in the general to Biden regardless of his hand in genocide. But to act like someone actively trying to work against Biden and planning to not vote for him while he's actively participating in genocide (and only pushing in any way against it while having huge huge hits to his election chances in the election year) is short-sighted propaganda. I personally voted for Biden in 2020 despite hating him & what he's done to people & voting for him was against went against what I personally stood for, but I did because it was the most strategic best option considering the reality of Trump. People aren't stupid to rail against the current president in an election year while he's actively supporting Israel for months on end.
The real franco belgian divide is Lilou trying to explain to me that the French are Never going to enact a majority coalition and me completely failing to understand how this refusal could ever be considered a sound political strategy by the electorate
Forgetting, of course, that the primary theme is about life changing and having to be okay with letting go of the past even though the future is uncertain.
More importantly, forgetting that one of the main threads of this throughout the series is Tohru's grief (and guilt) over her mother's death.
....
Well, you know what, my therapist told me to engage with grief as homework the past couple of weeks, so between this and starting Anohana again I THINK IT COUNTS.
Ah. Yeah. I'm sure therell be more playing with vahanas form in the future but I've gotten myself to a pretty stable expression of myself and... none of that matters. What's interesting to me or more so important to me is that I've gone back more to what I was when I was uhhh in my DKB years. Which. is nice because it means Black is back in a way
More weight on me, more height again lmfao Lev was coming up to like just above my hip when I was first solidifying myself, though tbh height isn't directly mappable to things like it is on this plane, it's not a direct equivalent to things like energetic mass and whatever... But it certainly gets across something. My voice has gone back to being deeper, my beard seems to be back though I'll rework it a little, I was enjoying not being as full bearded as I used to be lmfao
Anyway. Not getting too much into details right now while I settle because. I don't care to. but I've been very Gold for the past couple of years? And I love that, but it's getting to a point where I need to be more balanced and... idk. Something happened between me and Black when I left the twins where he just didn't want to be present anymore or exist and yet.. here I am, that tar black bird coming back into existence...
