me: "hm, you know, I don't think i ever had a 'sparkledog' phase... Is that weird?"
my brain: "don't make me tap the sign"
the sign: "You had a character who was a pastel coloured anthro fox at one point"
me: "....ooohhhh yeah I forgot about them. Wasn't their name like-"
brain: "THEIR NAME WAS LITERALLY PASTEL. YOU CALLED THEM PASTEL. THEY WERE VERY VERY GAY"
me: "...well okay but i mean... we both know they could have been gayer."
brain: "...okay fair yeah, we were young and naive."
nothing against sparkledogs tho, absolutely not. unironically I love that sort of wild free expression of colour and energy and silliness and imagination and it should be embraced, not shunned and shamed.
