expecting me to be an adult and do things 15 minutes after getting up is, i'm pretty sure, some variety of misogynistic*

*not really but please, i am a humble cishet trying to emulate the "this inconvenience is homophobia" meme, be patient with me

do you ever get angry at yourself over how you let others treat you in the past? i deserve so much better than i used to think i did

@maple i didn't realize this had a name and i'm SO EXCITED TO KNOW IT

@trashyfins@chomp.life rose gold... GOOD. shiny... pink.... PRETTY.

thank u for coming to my ted talk

A take so hot I can barely hold it in my damn hands 

@Bashabez to make this take even hotter:

let's be honest, though

it's not that terribly hard to make a film better than 2001: A Space Odyssey

@staticsafe@mastodon.zombocloud.com although i don't keep up with the pro gaming scene in the least, to the untrained eye, that second tweet reads mostly one way:

"girls are a bother to have around. everyone was paying attention to her and not to us, and that made us feel bad because she's a GIRL and we're more important. we can only have girls in this when they're willing to be just players. and by that we mean just more white dudes just like us."

signs i'm an adult: excited about new toothbrush

signs i'm a fucken basic bitch: toothbrush is rose gold.

i give it about 40% odds that i'm going to get steadfastly ignored for about, oh i dunno, 1-3 weeks, before an attempt at never addressing anything but resuming regular activities (e.g. "hey look at this neat thing i did" one-way communication), or perhaps an excuse of 'oh hey sorry i forgot about this because i was having fun with new friends'.

i give it about 20% odds that i'll just simply never hear anything from him ever again.

so it goes, lol...

"hey, let's talk this over tomorrow, so we can both calm down"

me: well even if he's insensitive in other ways, maybe the things i did to teach this dude about relationships and human-being-ing stuck around if he's taking that mature stance right now.

star wipe: it's tomorrow!

guess what i've heard from him so far despite seeing him online earlier? if you guessed 'absolutely nothing' you win a cookie.

cognitohazard; in which a wigglytuff has a strange mental tic 

whenever i read/think of the word 'mango' there's about an 80% chance something deep in my brain immediately replies with

MAN GO BEEP BEEP, CAR GO VROOM!

no idea where this came from, no idea why it does that. no idea why it decided this pun takes precedence over 'mango is a tasty fruit'. it just do. thanks, brain.

selfie with no eye contact; in which a wigglytuff postulates why she likes rococo and the idea of doing the dignity laugh so much 

y'all i think i have conclusive proof i'm related to european royalty at some point

however

all the genes i got are just for this one curl. just this one. none of the other bits of my body. just this one singular curl that decided it didn't want to go up in a bun clip and has now decided it wants to sit out beside my face perfectly goddamn curled.

??????

so in summary: Alas, Cishet Dudes.

with a side of This Wigglytuff Is Still Stressed, Mom Still In Hospital, She's Ok But 'Family Member In Hospital' Is One Heck Of A Debuff.

please have this pangolin playing in the mud as compensation for all this ranting i've been putting out, and i promise i'm not usually such an absolute pillar of salt :psyduck:

anyway that "let's talk about this tomorrow when we both have cooled off a bit" i am fairly sure was actually a "i want to get back to rping with my cool new friends, so i'm gonna do that instead of giving you any more attention and time at all, bye".

so if that postponed "let's clarify this when both calm" talk never comes, i guess that'll be my answer, lol.

i mean jesus christ, if we're going full My Fair M'Lady, you could at least have the decency to not immediately degenerate right back into awfulness when i've just finished singing youtube.com/watch?v=QS0pNPw958 after you have gone to the ball and awed everyone by acting like a reasonable and compassionate normal human being

not that anyone here has irked me, i'm just yelling into the e-void here about how exhausted i am at men who expect me to do an incredible amount of emotional labor.

AND THEN, AFTER I TEACH THEM, THE LESSON DOESN'T EVEN STICK

well i woke up this morning and am still grumpy, largely at men. sorry, men.
