Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

@edgedestroys@snouts.online can i just say, seeing all of this drift past, i am quite honestly impressed with the artistic dedication here of so many stickers at the ready

obviously therefore the best #secretworld merch i can acquire is just the Bees? card from cards against humanity

could do with a council of venice pin for my bag, though.

because, realistically, that's where i'd end up if the secret world was real. crying in a library about mold getting on the books, and also crying because everybody else won't stop fighting for like five minutes to save the world

illuminati? well, for one thing, i AIN'T illuminaughty, but also using THAT symbol means drastically higher chance someone takes me dead serious and stabs me to death in a parking lot while i cry IT'S A COMPUTER GAME PLEASE MY BLOOD! YOU'RE STABBING OUT ALL MY BLOOD AAAAA.

and well, the dragon, the dragon is just sort of proof that not every faction can be a winning concept, it's just a fallen souffle of yellow peril and Confucian quotes. embarrassing.

sure, in game i may be proudly If It Ain't Red It's Dead, but no way in hell am i actually going to go "whooo knights templar" irl. for one thing the symbol the templars use in-game has been taken over by neonazi fucks, and i'd rather gouge my own eyes out than do that particular crossed signal.

one of my most petty complaints: although i dearly love the writing in the secret world, it is painful to be a fan of it

yes mostly because of funcom's monetization strategies

but also because showing that i am a fan of it is Very Difficult due to Real Life Considerations

@Duende@snouts.online ....this is definitely making me think more about just casually sticking some deer antlers on my bear fursona

"harp, should you really be whining about how stressed out you are about *other people* going to the ER?"

listen here me and my anxiety disorder shall whine about whatever we got dam please, but also c'mon dude let me have a moment of screaming selfishly.

this is... about the third time in the span of roughly a month and a half that my mother is having to be taken to the ER

thankfully, it's fixable, it's not super bad stuff. tonight is just because "diabetic + heart patient + puking all day => sorry lads time to go get IV anti-nausea meds and fluids", so i'm not going to panic. it's not a serious big bad.

but boy howdy is FAMILY MEMBER IN HOSPITAL one fuck of a sanity debuff

all i want for new year's is for family members to not be ill and in the hospital

the federated timeline tonight is a brief glimpse into the meme factory, except now we can add "memes" to the list, alongside laws and sausage, of "things you shouldn't see made if you want to continue consuming them"

@Dayglochainsaw and then.

the first words out of my mouth are, in fact, a goof. "YEP THAT'D BE THE ANXIETY DISORDER, YOUR HONOR."

so, the moral here is: at least you weren't in court record with your anxiety being obvious as hell? could be worse?

@Dayglochainsaw if it makes you feel better, i had one of the most regrettable moments of my life in this very topic.

at the disability hearing, going before a judge, about to glitch out of my goddamn skin; in trying to hold it together, i was focusing on my one standard i was holding myself to: No Goofs. No Stupid Jokes. Only Serious.

sit down in front of the judge. he says, "you look nervous, are you okay, miss?"

and then.

why yes i did spend way too much on it thank you for asking!

it has 4 tables of random choices it pulls from, and of those
1. 6 options
2. 8 options
3. 16 options
4. 19 options (which is all the fortunes, natch)

someone else can do the math about how many unique results there are, my liberal arts brain says that your official answer is: A Lot!

anyway y'all want a silly thing? https://en.shindanmaker.com/854191 here u go. put in ur character's name, get what's in their holiday cracker. with fortune even! #ffxiv #ffxivrp
