Harp the Wigglytuff @wigglytuffitout@computerfairi.es

i should probably not poke at the bots so much as i do but let's be honest, the back and forth with the dark souls messages bot yesterday was delightful (even if i am fairly certain the bot owner jumped in to give me some conveniently relevant replies LMAO)

@levels_check well, it IS summer

@bodega i for one welcome our new yeehaw horse-wrangling overlords

if you look just at my window and not all else in my life, i can pretend to be a functioning human being pretty ok

p.s. yes the dude out the window needs watering he's gonna get more tonight i just watered him yesterday but it's been TOO HOT

the good news is i know what my dog's halloween costume is gonna be

anyone have tips on dog-safe washable red markers and how to tape a paper plate to your dog

*wanders in 15 years late with starbucks* have y'all heard about this game called "okami", turns out it's pretty good,

@ttbek idk i carefully engineered my degree to avoid orgo

That Is Deep Darkness Where I Will Not Tread

@InspectorCaracal it's hard, honestly. self-sabotage is a hell of a thing.

i'm lucky that my variant was mostly just... trawling for easy fights and picking on people so i could feel like i was doing something good and 'on the right side'

and also that honestly the fibro made it super obvious. you get angry? you're going to tense up and feel like shit. having that built-in translation to physical pain made me learn quick LOL

my computer sounds a bit like a bag of popcorn starting to pop but underwater due to number of plinks and plonks. i have pleased the mastodon tonight

behold, #ffxiv tag, for my magnum opus

a basic rdm guide (written for guildmates), entitled "LET'S GET THAT CAT DILF D(PS)"

my focus there might sound like i got a foot fetish but honestly i've just had bunionectomies on both feet. bunions suck. be nice to your feet y'all

i will also accept a variant:

high femme character has to go undercover and leave her dresses and high heels behind. instead she wears a perfectly tailored tuxedo and wingtip oxfords. a pile of people swoon at her feet as she remarks how it's nice she didn't have to pack any emergency ballet flats

y'know that bs "tomboy made to wear a dress and everyone is amazed at how pretty she 'really is'" trope?

i say we adopt its inverse more regularly: the high femme, very fashion-forward, dress-and-heels-only character suddenly has some contrivance where she has to show up in, like, sweatpants and a t-shirt.

everyone is amazed at how hot she still is, mostly because she's going HOLY SHIT THIS IS SO COMFY I LOVE IT and joy is sexy

this is, so far, the best part

good news folks im imparting my ffxiv knowledge to the world

@InspectorCaracal stolen straight-up from contrapoints lol, though i did yoink it from her and realize it was a succinct summary of what *i* used to do, and sometimes *still struggle with* - going and starting a fight online so i could feel better. (she describes it as more "going and reading comments that make her feel bad intentionally").

it's a pretty big siren fucking song to get to feel in control, to get to feel vindicated, etc. but... unhealthy.
