also absolutely do not ever read the wizard knight please learn from my mistake. there's literally thousands of better-written self-insert fanfics you can read online if you really want to, and most of them don't glorify abusive behaviour

this pretty much delineates the three categories:
• bad books i'm glad i read, it's because i learned from them
• bad books i regret reading, it's because something about them is actively stressful—disturbing (or actively triggering) content or exceptionally poor basic writing skill, for me
• bad books i don't care about are mostly just not compelling. nothing especially hateful beyond a lack of especially positive qualities

david copperfield, for example, is an incredibly dull read (imo). but it doesn't actively bother me having read it, and sometimes knowing how it goes comes in handy. so overall i don't care about it but i'm situationally glad i read it

the wizard knight, by contrast, combined poor writing quality with stuff i found highly disturbing in a way that means i can't entirely get it out of my head. literally just the knowledge that i read it is stressful. i regret having read this book

Did you hear about the kidnapping at school? It's ok, he woke up.

there's a fundamental difference between a bad book you're glad you read, a bad book you don't care about, and a bad book you regret reading. and there's no easy words to distinguish them from one another

Me: [looking at the International Prototype Kilogram at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures] What an absolute unit

dialogue options:
• say hi
• attempt to say hi, but like, really flustered

fun fact: "electability" is a code word journalists use to mean "appeal to the white professional class"

sometimes i forget my family isn't the prime example of normality and then i remember i literally inherited the name wolverine danger

....i just read an entire conversation on here a couple minutes ago. two minutes later, the person who started the conversation made the first toot in what would become that conversation. this is like, the most useless future sight ever

Genders are like javascript

I have no fucking clue how either works

....i forgot things had genders again. actually got thrown out of my immersion when i got a gendered title thrown at me. c'mon just use mx, or like. any professional title. please

to be clear this is a character who was explicitly gendered already and i was aware of it i just don't process gender good and it confus me too much

probably the best thing about playing queer vns is that the main character has the same exact "oh no they're cute" instinct as i do

a soap opera but everyone is a lesbian. everyone. even you when you watch it.

tfw ur playing a game and the player character gets introduced and ur just like "oh no i'm cute"
