Rambly

been thinking about how i'm starting to feel really old lately. and honestly i really do think a lot of that comes down to my personal circumstances are worse and the world sucks a lot more ass

i keep seeing people in their 20s being all like "i'm so old, i have nothing left to accomplish" and... when you're living through an era as dogshit as this one, like, yeah. when you feel like you're watching your dreams and livelihood slip away, you're gonna feel older, world-wearier, rougher.

This exact moment is perhaps the least true this has ever been

defending art's right to exist, especially nsfw art, inherenetly involves you having to allow art you don't like or even think is abhorrent or reprehensible to exist. you do not have to pretend to like it or engage with it, but you need to let it exist. you give fascists an inch they take a mile.

I'm constantly mad about this. I've never hurt anyone writing fucky stories for perverts and we're watching the details of child sex abuse coming out for the first time done by the people who ruin the globe. I have to suffer for imagined harm - real harm done by Bill Gates is not to be considered.

transition to autumn? yeah, i've known a few girls who've done that

i'm not even joking, like, this works more consistently for me than like, getting scared or holding my breath or whatever

best hiccup advice i ever got was to just pretend they aren't real. i have no idea why this works but for some reason if i get the hiccups then tell myself "no i don't. i don't have the hiccups right now" i stop having them

if you're willing to open up the idea of criminalizing things with the reasoning of "this is icky to me", then all bets are off. *anything* can be criminalized, arbitrarily, for any reason. the same thread of logic runs through the criminalization of queer people. which is what our leaders WANT

it's the *same shit* as blaming fucking doom and marilyn manson for columbine, it's the same as all that tipper gore/jack thompson shit from the 90s/2000s, but people are just falling in line this time. if you let governments+corporations take your right to speech away, they won't stop there, ever.

there's this idea that if someone reads about something bad that they're going to mimic that behavior. i don't believe that's how people work, and they're not that impressionable. and even if they are, why aren't we looking at the behavior of our goddamned role models, our leaders?

my take on "morally reprehensible fiction" is not nuanced. like, it's literally fiction. real people aren't being harmed.

when you're asking yourself if something should be forbidden or not, ask yourself who it harms. if the answer is "nobody", then let it go

i'm old

🔮 What the fuck are you talking about the Metal Coat is a container of metallic skin cream and not just some nebulous metallic object

the characterizations were mostly fine, honestly, it's just. live action nichijou is just an inherently uncanny idea

thank god in the heavens above it wasn't one of those updates that just bricks your computer or deletes your ability to use the internet for no reason

woke up to find my computer had rebooted

thought maybe i got a blue screen, so i check BlueScreenView and there's nothing there. then i check my start menu and there's a whole goddamned different look to it so i think windows just managed to download a whole update and install it in my sleep

i had trouble falling asleep last night and had a bunch of bad dreams running the gamut from "just kind of unpleasant" to "full-on nightmare"

but the weirdest of those dreams is that i dreamt that nichijou had a live action adaptation movie for some reason

In the original GameCube version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Glitz Pit greeter Toad always bites his tongue after Chapter 3 is over. In the Switch version, this was made into an Easter egg, whereby he always has a small chance of biting his tongue instead.

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
