facebook is attempting to sell me something with a "chicken crust pizza" and i am mildly terrified by this new keto bullshit

why couldn't you just stick to cauliflower

there's ONE chicken crust pizza i will accept, and that's basically a glorified chicken parm

thankfully i did not endure the plague much myself

however, the event WoW did based off it - just before WotLK hit - was genuinely one of the best times i've ever had in video games. like, there's no way it could have been anything other than a one-off, and was easy to grief people with. but my best friend and i kept a chunk of thunder bluff entirely zombies for an amazing amount of time LOL

sawbones aka my favourite podcast has done an episode on THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT PLAGUE and my dudes, i am fucking hype

as someone who does not want kids and is low-key terrified them, i do not know much about babies except thus

-they are Loud.

-messy body fluids from either/both ends, Quite Often

-both more fragile and more durable than you imagine

-like the fae, often governed by strict arcane and unknowable rules, and will leave you similarly sapped of your life force due primarily to lack of sleep

-dumb af, lol

anyway back to considering baby shower next weekend lol

the rest of the site is tiresome as fuck but https://tacticalbabygear.com/products/tbg-e-b-o-k-emergency-blowout-kit?variant=15429135990874&gclid=Cj0KCQjwla7nBRDxARIsADll0kDGjmr8PCISxmGTQCEYXfG5AunfZZwkczGlMA2aOrI4wA3OJTf8SloaAmvKEALw_wcB see that actually looks intensely practical

also the military theme works when it is, indeed, AW SHIT EMERGENCY (A SHIT EMERGENCY, EVEN)

they say it's perfect for just tossing in the car and that sounds like a fantastic practical thing to me lol, a lot better than drowning everyone in the 19867th cute baby stuffed animal or blanket (which it's Hard to Not Acquire because Cute but there's only so many of those a kid needs)

ok egregiously gendered shit is tiresome, however, i have found an instance of it that genuinely makes me laugh and i'm going to get for my cousin and his wife for their baby shower: an 'emergency blowout kit' with disposable changing mat, wipes, new diaper, etc. packaged like a military MRE

1. deadass practical, 2. less 'i can only be a dad if it's camo' and more 'THIS IS INDEED AN EMERGENCY THANK GOODNESS YOU PUT A KIT IN THE CAR'

i am now... ready for shadowbringers.

what no i haven't pre-ordered the xpack or anything like that. but i DID get my viera's character sheet done, which is obviously more important, sooooooo https://docs.google.com/document/d/1y8w_7kG1ObtWAr6AxLORpW6ndi4yatdMOA49b-to-Rc/edit?usp=sharing

finally managed to put a pen to paper (ok digital paper close enough) and draw my viera before shadowbringers happens properly in #ffxiv , documenting her scars and her tattoo for #ffxivrp purposes (which right now is uhhh me rping in my head only o well.)

her tattoo is partially 'medicinal', an icelandic rune, lásabrjótur, meant to help 'free from fetters' - in her case, the fetters being the limp caused by her old wound

cw'd for nonsexual nudity

woah, i did not expect this small story sidequest to end up so explicitly pro-union in #ffxiv

i would be interested to know if it ends up reading the same in japanese, etc. - if it still has that moral of "ala mhigan refugee workers know collective bargaining is the only way to get a fair deal after uniting, even in the face of a 'kind' employer", and uses those same vocab terms

i wonder if it's at all connected to the pro-union sentiments snowballing in the games industry? (i can hope?)

ah yes, the #spoonie feeling of watching everyone have a fantastic time at conventions while you are stuck at home in a flare :')

one of the contenders for "it's our 10 year friendiversary and that's apparently tin or aluminum" gift is

this

vintage jello mold

look at this fish's face. this fish has SEEN some shit. this fish has seen THE HORRORS OF WAR and aspics with jello in em

facebook reminded me that it's been 10 years since i uploaded a bunch of screenshots of me playing WoW, in which i met my best friend, so most of them are of us playing together

if anyone needs me, i will be wheezing dustily into my grave, for i am now ancient.

also apparently it's our tin or aluminum anniversary and i feel the need to go find a real stupid gift

honestly, on a scale of one to oh no, how awfully nerdy of me is it to put this OC star wars race up on ao3 with a framing device of

"these are readings that a teacher has assigned her students"

complete with COME PREPARED TO ANSWER THESE DISCUSSION QUESTIONS ON MONDAY OR ELSE notes in there

i mean it does mean i haven't lost any data, which is nice!

i should really aggregate stuff from there + my old dA + my tumblr and sling it up on ao3, as it's all about the OC race/civilization i shoehorned into star wars (in a dA rp chatroom before some other asshole decided to make a totally unbalanced minmax race and ruined it for all of us by getting OC races banned. fucker)

...dunno quite the context to put it in tho

me: huh i wonder if that old rp livejournal i had way back in the day is still up

me: OH CHRIST IT STILL IS
