anyway the storm has passed now but earlier the power went out - flickery, then fully out, then back up in under a minute - and just before i heard something outside give a very distinct VOOOOM noise
not organic but also not car-related sounding mechanical
so uhhhh i'm guessing that's what an unhappy transformer might sound like idk
@InspectorCaracal see as long as you can't zoom in on a 3d space and individually check out the appearance of your dwarves i'm safe
or at least i can just substitute in the old Creatures games for that itch
so i saw this screenshot a friend linked on twitter https://twitter.com/LejayXIV/status/1158040083221504000?s=19
and in response
i quickly mspainted together all i could think of
Stupid Sexy Urianger strikes again #ffxiv
cw'd for eye contact + while not technically nsfw i feel like it is in the spirit of nsfw in that it would be a bit of a doing to explain to a nosy boss glimpsing it over your shoulder
ah fuck okay i should go the fuck to sleep i gotta be up in 7 hours to get up to go see the lawyer about appealing my disability benefits getting taken away because they declared me 'totes fit to work' literally less than 2 weeks before my surgery and so i see a lawyer the day before surgery ha haHAa AHA AHAH.
anyway
goo nite
please imagine this post but retold in like, spooky story around the campfire where somebody's holding a flashlight under their chin, for full effect
@InspectorCaracal i may have misplaced my faceapped margaret thatcher
which is
probably for the best.
no one person should have that amount of terrifying in one image
@InspectorCaracal all went the fuck to sleep after i mentally threatened everyone "go sleep so i won't be tempted to stay up any later or else i'm gonna post faceapped margaret thatcher"
@InspectorCaracal wait but it's only one shoulder so
AW DUNK HAVE I BEEN SEPHIROTH THIS WHOLE TIME
@InspectorCaracal i mean the face is probably hurting eventually in with like
all the rest of him
metaphor checks out
@InspectorCaracal IT'S SUCH BULLSHIT
i'm super super glad that i found a combination of stuff my skin likes - having 1-4 pimples a week instead of a day was a fucken godsend
BUT IT ALLOWED ME TO BE FILLED WITH HUBRIS.... LIKE ICARUS, I FLEW TOO DARINGLY CLOSE TO THE SUN.... and now my face hurts. ...just like icarus?
there's sensitive skin and then there's My Fuckin Face apparently, which is less "omg yeah my face is soooo sensitive, if i sleep in my makeup i get a pimple the next day!" and more "i failed to bring the wrathful gods proper sacrifices of chamomile... they looked upon my choice of cucumber instead.... and declared... i had chosen...... poorly.........."
Harp Is Your Face's Skin Ecology The Old Knight At The End Of Indiana Jones And The Holy Grail?
basically yeah lmao
another extremely petty whine:
so this is after me babying on it for two days, my face is still ANGRY at me for DARING to use a (sensitive skin.) makeup removing wipe last week
how angry?
i just counted after taking a photo, 32 pimples on my face and neck lmao
at least it don't hurt as bad as it did last night
@InspectorCaracal that last one is just the new middle square honestly
@InspectorCaracal admittedly many video games are actually bullshit
but i think it may be more, in both cases, the "95% of everything is shit" is being enforced, not the base concept
........also cishet white dudes dominating and domineering both fields to control what is seen as typical and what is an accepted form of those particular ideas honestly
30 y/o - token cishet - tumblr refugee. spoonie/15 chronic conditions in a trenchcoat/actual cyborg. just hangin' in there
