So I can’t seem to get Grok Ai on my phone. Apparently it must’ve roasted Elon so badly that he removed him himself LMAO 🤣

Sometimes…

Sometimes.

Sometimes you just have to put on all of the lingerie, and then take a picture of yourself in the full length mirror, cutting off your own head

and then look at it for a while

and acknowledge that if this was anybody else but you you would be so turned on

Because you love those colors, that lingerie is exactly what you would pick out yourself, of course

And that body right there is absolutely your type

yet somehow it doesn’t count because it’s you

christ alive I love my parents and I'm glad I got to see them but they are just. so fucking exhausting

[coolguycy]

Honestly frustrating as a nonbinary person to have someone try to correct me about my own gender. I’ll refer to myself as a girlie girl or a grown ass man and every time someone feels the need to jump in and say “but you’re not a girl!!” or “but you’re not a man!!” Or someone will call me girl as slang and immediately apologize. Like. Idk. I’m both I’m none I’m all. I’m nuanced. I don’t like being put into a box

I try really hard not to yuck on yum or like, judge, but I just don't understand the appeal of people writing or reading stories that are like... just suffering and that's it. Like, it's just misery. There's no payoff, there's no catharsis, it's just misery and more misery and I just -

I don't get it.

Normally it doesn't bug me, but of course an annoyingly large proportion of people writing fics for one of my favorite characters insist on writing these kinds of stories and like - why? I'm not asking for happy fluff endings here, but like - just misery after misery? What's the fucking point?

I get that darkfic speaks to some people, I do, and I do like dark stories (of certain flavors), but I just - I like the darkness to be worth something, to have meant something, the suffering to be more than suffering for it's own sake, and some people just...

I don't fucking get it. And like, the authors aren't bad people for this particular choices of writing, not at all, but - ffs, wtf?

The specific genre is romance/action/weird. The fact one of the characters will die badly if he's not constantly with his soulmate due to a curse is like. Important and problem causer but not what the story is about.

How much do you need to know about why the curse is and how it works to just vibe with the story basically.

i would like to clarify something (i say as if im not cold opening with no previous context or statement): using slang doesn't make someone sound uneducated you just have preconceived biases

all vernacular terms ALL of them (yes even those 'icky' aave terms) are valid and are not indicative of a person's education, cognition, or professionalism

please just stop policing slang in public and informal settings??? for my sanity

bc guess what??? proper/formal shit should be used in proper/formal settings AND DOES NOT NEED TO BE IN MY FUCKING POSTS OR TEXTS OR FICS JESUS

uh anyways

im saying this bc I have once again seen posts complaining abt dialect differences in text formats, which is not a real problem I swear to satan! you do not care that much you don't i refuse to believe that

also a word being valid doesn't mean it should be used in all settings but (refer to above) that is not were most words would be used anyway

anyway i've been playing potion permit on switch and it's sooooo cute, it's a harvestmoonlike (move to a small town, befriend people, fix their structural problems) but instead of farming you become the town doctor slash alchemist. and there are even romancable characters that are adults & you aren't their first partner ever

rambling ass thought hence the readmore, but i had an interaction with my boss earlier that im still thinking about:

basically a customer was making some errant comment about eating chili, like, okay whatever, and my boss says something about how like. okay why should i give a shit. obv not to her, he was perfectly polite to her, but after when i said hes really good at pretending to be nice, he said sthn like 'yeah i have to be polite because i cant just say bitch idc' but also yeah why should he give a fuck really, he doesnt know her at all and he doesnt care and he has work to do. he is someone who clearly has been taught to always be polite and shit, right? now, i also dont really give a fuck about what a customer i dont know is having for dinner, but i also didnt really grow up with the heavy expectation to pretend to care abt small talk. i have to now, for my job, be passively polite, but i also have to do other things that dont come naturally to me, like try not to curse, etc. i also, as an adult now, understand the social role of being passively polite to people as a way to show like. we're all people who should at least care about each other in the grand scheme of things, and to not make things needlessly hostile- i dont care, but i also dont feel as irritated as he seemed, because i dont give a fuck one way or the other, and i dont feel such lifelong social pressure. to me its like wearing shoes. i understand the need to do so in public but at home i like keeping my feet on the ground. basically the thought im rolling around in my head like a marble is how i wonder if its .. creating its own issues, when people feel socially pressured to be super polite or pretend to care about each other, and its like, seen as this super important thing? i wonder if this is why so many neurotypical people and/or people who are on the spectrum slightly but mask a lot wind up seeming like theyre about to explode. OR, if its just a symptom of being super neurotic? because this dude is also super fucking neurotic, chronically stressed, and kind of grumpy at times

see, ive never really known how to mask, not really, and my parents never like taught me like super specific rules and manners and shit that other people seem to learn, i did have to learn a lot of this later, and consciously, but also as an adult now i tend to gravitate towards both autistic and deeply neurotic people so i have no idea how deeply these kinds of pressures and stresses are going on in others' heads. the only person in our friend group who wasnt autistic and was tied in knots over social rituals also had ocd and was excruciatingly neurotic so i cant rly judge all of social interaction off that, though it does explain how a lot of people act i guess

anyway its interesting bc this thought seems to come up a lot from other retail workers and especially cashiers, like being really spitefully annoyed with customers- and i completely understand why and where the feeling comes from i just find it hard to muster that much ire myself on a day to day basis over the really banal stuff BUT this is probably the most mentally healthy ive been in decades AND "feeling" my feelings is, due to autism, kind of weird and complicated at times so idk
