@theguardian@friendica.hubup.pro i know this is probably the bot processing input in a way where the input is not something you have control over at all but i would just like to register that i hate "the entire blurb as a cw, and then the post is just 'read more here's a link'" is bass-ackwards and awful and i hate it with the passion of a thousand suns. thank you.

i can't believe last week lolita news is the salt queen #lolitafashion both needs, and deserves https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZO0EhkOjFs

srsly i may have bawled a little at the final point here. it's so good.

ah well, at least i can amuse myself by making my nail polish change colors when i mush it on my icepack when it dries lmao

butter mints are just EXTREMELY good texturally. like how they go from that kinda soft crunch to smooth. these kinda mints too. they're fuckin Great.

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz i legit can demolish like half a box in a blink they're so good

but i also once as a kid ate like an entire bag of butter mints in like an hour, i regret nothing

this joke is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AWFUL and i make no apologies nor excuses for it.

also the lewd qualities of the phrase "creme de mint" will be left as an exercise to the reader

and now, here's what it looks like when @eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz 's character goes on a mountain hiking vacation in south america

me: oh maybe my fingernails are long enough to have this temperature-sensitive color-changing nail polish work!!!

me: ......

me: ok not really,

@impishgnoll i can't believe that i actually have something fucking relevant to respond to this with

have a fake start-of-a-poster for some ffxiv worldbuilding about bawdy shows that happen in the pirate town, feat. catgirl dressed as Marlboro: Now With Titties

OH and i gotta put https://youfeellikeshit.com/ like, first point, since it's back

notes to myself at this point... perhaps include

-'slow tv', youtube channels with how it's made/etc. - put candy making videos here, also some aquarium livestreams

-guided videos about grounding techniques/meditation?

-look at some apps maybe to also rec? like https://www.dbtselfhelp.com/html/instant_access_dbt.html , https://www.thinkpacifica.com/cognitive-behavioral-therapy-app/ , https://anxietycanada.com/resources/mindshift-cbt/ and so on? (do wonder if those outside canada can use the last one tho)

@burgin but, crucially, how many pairs of driving gloves and sunglasses do you have to accessorize with the scarves*? THAT'S the real potential gap in your wardrobe

*or to accessorize the underwear, which would be a different but still very powerful look honestly

i should really update https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qToh9xO7qDHzFymPiQEdFPeOjnnn_RCGm6Qf31eXJ94/edit?usp=sharing soon

this is mainly a relaxation list which i started on tumblr as my like... "hey here's tricks to pull out when you feel a panic attack inc to get out of that spiral", but if folks have some stuff that would go well with this, please let me know! i'd be glad to expand with more links to #mentalhealth resources and such

i remembered the pharmacopoeia talk i gave in #ffxiv so

here it is if you want to roleplay your characters having a bad time because humoral medicine is not accurate! hooray! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YF3noFbO-ZX4D5U1unju5pS_jr9OmrUuu0AVGFpova4/edit?usp=sharing

also this is just sort of like. HI NEW GUILDMATES. I AM HARP. THIS IS MY BULLSHIT. I AM BACK ON IT ☺️ ☺️ ☺️

so what is the rest of mch like? the 'cold' phase is just... really annoying to me.

it's all proc-based, and you really need those procs because otherwise the rotation is not worth carrying through. so, get used to going 1, 1, 1, 1, 1...

you get some guaranteed procs from ammo but those you need for your hot phase.

it's just... fiddly and no-fun

and i like smn gdi!!!!!

the hot phase for mch is frustrating because:

-the reliance on wildfire means that if you flub up your hot phase, you're fucked.

-the hot phase means you have to do a LOT to maximize it

-getting to the hot phase can take a variable amount of time (since attacks rely on rng)

-and what's worse is that you need to manage TWO hot phases, and coordinate them to happen at the same time, when overheat is much more finicky to manage and also has a punishment for a few secs after it ends
