#things with friends

[ps-aeiou-vowels]

i made a narrative character for my friend @gay-robot's lancer game. they aren't a pilot but they're very involved with the crew

we call them old they/themkins (pun on old man jenkins) but to everyone else they're just gramps or grandpa bc they act it and are older than everyone

certified gilf that's anywhere from seventy to twelve thousand years old. was cryogenically frozen and severely displaced through time and space (and blinkspace.)

can't remember their entire life. it's a wonder their brain wasn't just Liquified with how long they were dreaming (and WHERE they were dreaming)

wheelchair user. their flesh hands aren't great for many reasons so they got four new ones synced to their spine

they use the language understanding chip in their brain to make dad jokes and puns and nothing else useful

has sci-fi narcolepsy that's cool and extremely normal. entirely unrelated but guess what i was just diagnosed with

they see memories when they sleep! it's just that those memories may not [Belong to them.] who said that

anyways please accept my final message. you don't get any context for it

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

Today I saw a pic of a baby cowbird next 2 its nest "parent" and it was so much bigger!!!!! Which is the sort of thing that gets normal people upset about the injustice of nest parasitism but makes *me* worry if baby cowbirds get bird dysmorphia

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

i think my favourite part of the ratfish episodes are the fact that it's the most accurate portrayal of friendship i can think of. here's all your friends but they're anonymous, make each other laugh. it's always one specific thing that would make no one else bat an eye that makes you get made by someone else. katie made a joke about anti-depressants and immediately got clocked by rekha. zac mentioned publix and grant went "that's zac." grant chose a bette midler song and ally went "gay ass. probably grant." zac didn't get any vibes at all from steven and realised he knows his friends better than this. i do not know this person in real life.
