no wonder you don't realize you're tied up, you've never strayed far enough from the post to tug on your chains

when i was the sickest i ever was, i was outright awful to my parents. i was a prickly monstrous thing in every word and act. i wanted to make my pain their pain too. the logic was if i could make them feel my pain maybe they would finally believe me

2024/10/16 20:45

i maintain to this day that generational lines can best be drawn over what a person believes are things that can be "accommodated" vs things that should be "corrected." for example, think of a person for whom racist speech by others is a personality quirk to be accommodated, but left-handedness is a deformity to be corrected.

in another life i would've really loved just having 6-hour long mutual traumadumping voice calls and wheezing uncontrollably at animated stickers with you

i think a lot of people don't quite understand how good we have it with termux. i can access the AUR from my non-rooted android 12 phone!

2024/09/13 02:43

once you become a linux user there's really no going back in terms of mindset. at this point i've managed to transfer the vast majority of small frequent tasks i used to do on my phone using random websites and apps onto ported linux cli programs on termux

WILD how in 2024 i found out that the same old reliable gabapentin my dad used to have in heaps back in the 00s and 10s is apparently one of the better pain relievers for fibro and completely unaware of this i had preferred it all those years ago to self-medicate (i.e. steal from my dad) and even a coupla times tried to kill myself with

american christians are wild. "any salons w/o buddhist drip and staffed by christians only?" girl in 70% roman catholic philippines the salons w the most buddhist drip stuffed into every nook and cranny (some decorated by professional chinese consultants) are 100% owned and staffed by catholics, they just think it looks hard. and theyre right!!

does anybody know media that revolves around a male/female rivalry that does not at any point turn romantic? bonus points for politics, community, sport or hobby based rivalry. book, comic, movie, series, game, i don't care i just want it

2024/07/15 16:36

not a nudist but i'm really sympathetic to their core belief as an asexual aromantic person. human nudity should be de-stigmatized and desexualized especially for people considered "not conventionally attractive." if the only time most people are exposed to nudity is in literal porn then what can we expect to happen except for human bodies to be inherently seen dirty and obscene? and if the only naked subjects most people see are pornstars and celebrities then does that not implant into their minds an unrealistic expectation for what naked human bodies should look like? does that not prime them to perceive most other people as ugly? thus to me, settings of social and nonsexual nudity such as public bathhouses just seem healthy for the psyche. if the diverse range of bodies people have is normalized in your mind, you're less afraid of being old, or fat, or ugly, and you are less likely to have an instinctual disgust or aversion to those who are.

2024/07/12 18:01

y'all ever think about how power named her cat babymeow

2024/06/22 21:20

what all the discourse about age gap relationships fails to take into account is that age does not correlate perfectly to life experience. people the same age can have differing amounts and types of life experience. back in uni i was friends with a couple in the same year as me. they were both 19, but the girl grew up extremely sheltered by an ultraconservative religious family + extended family all in a cult. meanwhile, the guy was raised by a single mother as the oldest of 5 siblings and had to mature at a very young age to help raise his younger brothers and sisters. one of my high school classmates was a teen mom who had her first child at 15 years old and was very pragmatic and jaded about life. one of my coworkers now is a 35-year-old lady who's never been in a relationship and spends all her time and money on going to kpop concerts and anime conventions, has a high end gaming pc, and still very much has childlike wonder and whimsy.

2024/04/23 16:46

AIN'T 😂 NO 😂 WAY 😂 i'm getting back in girlmode after 4 years for a fucking party. be realistic

2024/04/21 14:27

i don't need to be loved. it would be nice, sure, but it's ultimately a luxury. i will be fine without it. i just wish you'd come around sometimes, so i'm not always completely alone.

2024/04/19 18:59

he loves you for youuuuuuuuuuu

2024/04/17 23:28

maslow lied. i have to deal with every level simultaneously and nothing is ever secure

2024/04/17 23:26

it's kinda comical how i just navigate society on those last couple days before a payday tbh. like i have to stand in public spaces clean and dignified as if i had more than just coins in my wallet. and you can't really tell me apart from people who have 10x or 100x my income. i'm not visibly poor or homeless. but one missed payday and it's joever for me

2024/04/15 20:37

i miss being with people. really being with people. i miss feeling. vividly. i want to run. i want to scream. i want to be led by the hand. i want to duck my face to avoid a gaze and feel my cheeks burn with it. i want to float up from the seabed and have the sun shine on me. i want to walk along the shore and crunch the burning sand under my feet. i want to be happy. i want to be angry. to giggle and to shriek. i want to talk and have it be heard. maybe i can also listen. take things to heart. feel my chest tighten and expand. i want to live. badly, badly i want to live.

2024/04/15 18:50

it's me, contra. i'm the contradiction

i keep running the simulation in my head and despite the problems the result keeps being that i gave up the best thing that ever happened to me

2023/09/05 17:53

i remember the last day i saw you: december 21st, 2018. i've only been on an unending cycle of self-justification since then. you asked me if i enjoyed my isolation, and it would be a lie to say i absolutely didn't. you have no idea how happy it made it me to talk to you again. maybe i do regret leaving you and everyone else behind.

2023/08/09 15:24

most deranged but true statement i've said in weeks: "loona should be part of the breakcore canon sample bank!!!!"

I WILL NEVER TELL THEM THAT THOUGH!!! I KEEP THAT SHIT TO MYSELF. VERY IMPORTANT DISTINCTION

2023/06/22 18:33

i've never been able to muster the slightest bit of empathy or sympathy for fellow social anxiety sufferers. it's like yeah i have, multiple times, sat silently for hours hyperventilating in a bank and unable to approach much less say a word to a teller. and many other such similar scenarios. but also, whenever i hear or read about other people's social anxiety my reaction is always "god that's such a stupid thing to be anxious about, you're cringe."

2023/06/20 19:29

2023/04/04 19:01

cis men can get breast cancer.... the fact that some people think the language is being adjusted only for the woke mob to include trans men ("fake men, actually women" in their eyes) is just sad. cis men die of that shit all the time bc they didn't know it was even possible. transphobia makes things worse for everyone even if you're not trans

apprently i'm not alone and it's actually a common experience for filipino speakers to accidentally misgender people a lot when speaking english bc there are no gendered pronouns in filipino and we're not used to having to keep track of people's genders every time we refer to them 😭 literally they/them the world

pathologist: you've lost any sense of permanence, longevity, or stability. you're always gauging how quickly and easily you could leave, how easy or difficult it would be to carry all this. what you're willing to leave behind. you hesitate to add anything because you don't know how long you'll stay. sleeping and waiting, it's all you do.

2022/11/24 05:00

some characters are just so fucking hard to write. can't figure them out. it's like scp-055: i can't write how they actually are, just recoil instinctively when i jot something down and immediately think no, that's not what they're like. megumi i'm looking at you

2022/11/23 09:48

i never figured out i was chained up bc i always had my back against the post

2022/11/23 06:43

i've figured it out. shonen manga is when the protagonist has dogboy vibes. seinen manga is when the protagonist has christian horse girl vibes.

my favorite "only on tumblr" thing is when a blog ends up becoming 'missed connections' for random anons, e.g. when i (as an anon) and another person kept egging each other on about story ideas in a nice artist's ask box to the point that the artist eventually went "aight, y'all wanna be friends? send me a private ask so i can see your usernames and you can DM each other." and we're STILL friends

this is gonna sound really fucking unpatriotic but i only "got" and enjoyed noli and el fili once i read them on my own in english. it took me a few years too because in high school i struggled a lot with reading it in pure filipino with all the big words and accent marks and stuff. still an "el fili superior" truther though, it's so edgy i just love it

2022/08/09 20:28

i don't know why that last thought occurred to me now. anyway, the dates have been finalized and arrangements made; my first office workday after almost two and a half years of remote will be the 5th of september 2022 :')

2022/08/09 20:23

due to complications with sizing, i had to have my high school uniform custom-sewn by a seamstress in the neighborhood rather than being able to buy directly at the school. it was for the better, because i was able to set the skirt length to my preference of four inches below the knee, as opposed to the standard of 1-2 inches below the knee that the school made, which would've been very uncomfortable for me. besides, in those days, it was cheaper to buy the fabric myself directly from local suppliers, which more than made up for the additional cost of paying the seamstress.

2022/07/22 18:56

i don't like to think of myself as disabled. nobody would ever take any claim to the contrary seriously. they'd laugh and tell me to lose weight. how could i explain the fatigue to my boss when doctors don't even believe that? i just have certain physical limitations which i must stay constantly ahead of and work around. who doesn't?

2022/07/22 18:53

just to illustrate why i'm so upset-

my remote work arrangement: spend 2-4 hours accomplishing my daily quota, queue up an email to send at exactly 5:55pm every day no matter what time i actually finish the work, no meds of any kind, no commute, have lots of time for cooking and cleaning and laundry and staring at the sun and greenery

my office work arrangement: 4 hours (back and forth) of exhausting metro manila commute at rush hours, a cocktail of meds and stimulants to counteract the subsequent caused thereof, 8 hours at the office blasted with too-cold airconditioner, fingers stiff on the keyboard from the chill, easily distracted by noises and coworkers, boss breathing down my neck, no time or energy to do anything by the time i get home, no rest on the weekends either because that's the only time i have for cleaning/laundry/etc.

and wanna hear the hilarious official reason i'm absolutely obligated to go back to the office? because they want to be able to directly observe if anyone's slacking off, and they're sick of waiting for people to read and answer messages in their own time rather than instantly when boss rocks up to their cubicle

2022/07/22 18:43

2022/05/23 11:20

it's one of those things that's just hard to tell for a low-empathy individual like me. i don't feel other people's feelings. i don't even feel sympathy. i see people i'm close to hurt or in need and often i want to help them, but not because i feel their pain and their hurt. sometimes, i'm annoyed by their pain and their hurt, and i do what i can to make it go away so i could have my fun conversations or activities with them again. it's getting rid of an inconvenience. other times, i feel nothing at all, but i try to listen to them and help them anyway out of reflex. like, table manners.

2022/05/23 11:16

what do i love? i couldn't say. i use that word a lot for things that please me, things that amuse me, things that fascinate me. but as for things i love, had i ever truly loved anything? i dig through my mind and my memories, but nothing i've experienced seems to fit the definition of loving something or someone. i've said here before that despite everything, i can't hate my mom, and that i do love her. but i don't think love is the word. i feel an undeniable connection with her, borne of obligation and of knowing her so well, knowing almost everything about her. i don't enjoy her company. i don't miss her when she's gone. i would gladly move back in with my dad to play nurse and cook and take care of him, but because i feel that same obligation and recognition i feel for my mother. the difference is i enjoy his company and conversation sometimes, when we aren't clashing. once he's gone, i'll miss some of our conversations and i'll lament that i can't ask his opinion or take on certain things that'll come up after he's dead. but i won't ache to see him again. i miss certain friends i've had, but i couldn't say if i loved them as much as i missed the fun and stimulation of conversation and activity i was able to have with them. had i ever loved?

2022/05/16 14:56

pathologist & missionary (in a rare duet): but how would you like to be perceived?

me: we're really doing this? all right. i would like to be perceived as kind, accommodating, considerate, intelligent, a great conversationalist due to being knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics, having great taste in everything, tough, and dependable. but i am nowhere near it.

2022/05/15 22:09

disability discourse tumblr is truly the one part of it i can't stand. just because i have a non24 circadian rhythm, chronic fatigue, anemia, the hormonal/reproductive shit, etc. doesn't make me disabled and i will never be comfortable appropriating that

me, purposefully trying to deal him psychic damage: sorry but this is among us in antarctica. the thing is an alien impostor who unhinges its head to devour people and extends a long, sharp, tentacle-like tongue to pierce through them. conspiracy theory: among us was inspired by this film

i rarely have intrusive dreams. my dreams in general are very disconnected from me or from whatever's happening in my life (nothing is fucking happening in my life but even when there was i didn't dream about it). but sometimes you just wake yourself up, bury your head in your hands, reeling from the imagery, and talk at god like "okay fine. i am capable of inflicting great pain and injury and suffering if i am provoked or annoyed enough. i can look into a person's eyes and imagine the complex life, emotions, struggles, and relationships they've had, their hopes and dreams, all their quirks and nuances and the good in them, fully acknowledging their soul as sacred and their body as a culmination of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and bloodlines... and still make the light in those eyes go out, by my own hand. is that what you wanted to hear me admit?"

dad called me this morning to say he couldn't take the pain anymore, and was going back to be hospitalized again after a few years of stubbornly enduring his many illnesses. for the past decade, he's been constantly saying he could feel his "time" approaching. i always rolled my eyes at him and told him without fail each time that he'd live for three more decades at least, then he'd act theatrically stricken by the thought. i wonder which holiday will be tainted for me when he goes.

2022/04/02 07:56

when i was a kid, my dad always had some small prank or practical joke planned every april 1st. now, though, the day to him only signifies his older brother's death anniversary, and it can never again be anything but a quiet day spent in remembrance and contemplation. same goes for halloween, which is his younger brother's death anniversary. this younger brother was also born on christmas. and his mom, my grandma, was buried on or near independence day, if i remember correctly. so many holidays are tainted for him.

2022/04/01 02:04

to be fair, hannibal season 3 went completely off the rails. sometimes i'm still not sure the entire season was not just a fever dream (cough, digestivo and wrath of the lamb especially). if any review claimed everything stopped making sense after mizumono, hell, i'd agree kinda. i love it though 🥰

2022/03/31 09:43

i mean, i guess there's patterns of behavior, but i'd have to actually care enough to learn and memorize your habits. other than that there are generic signifiers but they vary from person to person, everyone has their own set that applies to them, requiring yet more observation i'm simply not willing to do for everyone

2022/03/31 09:42

i'm not an empath. i might be close to the opposite actually. i can't know what you're feeling unless you tell me or otherwise express it somehow

2022/03/31 06:57

tumblr came up with 'blorbo in law' in 2022 but i already came up with 'bias in law' in 2019 to describe a dear friend's favorite idol. i stay winning 😌

2022/03/31 03:22

more accurately, i'm still afraid of envying

2022/03/31 03:21

i am still afraid of envy

2022/03/30 22:14

actually, i don't need to turn back the clock. just... a new album. not in english

2022/03/30 22:03

ugh, i just want 2017-2019 bts back: covering classic kpop songs and paying homage to the generations before them, covering recent songs by their contemporaries, doing christmas medleys on gayo, being overall immersed in the same world i was immersed in as they rose to the top. they don't do any of that stuff anymore, a lot of it is "beneath" them because they're tackling a different beast now. i can rewatch all the performances but it's just not the same. it's not the same

2022/03/30 21:45

while i'm here just want to say it's always funny seeing the contrast between songs like dionysus that western critics generally disliked while kpop stans loved it and it quickly gained a reputation, and songs that got a good spin in the western music media circuit while being absolutely hated by kpop stans

2022/03/30 21:42

pentagon can literally do no wrong

2022/03/30 17:09

seeing/hearing people say "yeah i play league" with the same tone/emotion someone might have if they admitted they were a chain smoker will never stop being funny

update to this: the watch parties have become nightly and at least once per episode my friend and i both go "you're NOT subtle hannibal" when he is being particularly unsubtle. record so far is episode 7 where it was 4 times we agreed he was not being subtle

2022/03/29 21:58

it's like those times in college when my dorm roommates were asking me how best to proceed with sex with their boyfriends. what is it about me specifically despite being aroace that makes people feel they should ask me about this stuff? i mean i end up offering sensible answers anyway based on logic but cmon

2022/03/29 21:57

truly. i cannot believe i just got asked that

2022/03/29 21:56

"what do you think it takes to fall in love with someone" babygirl i'm aro. you're really asking for my 100% stone cold aromantic opinion on this? are you sure? i can't give you love advice 😭

haven't lived in a house with a tv in more than a decade. but i can't imagine a regular day without youtube

2022/03/27 23:21

i should've known tbh. friend is an absolute horror junkie so of course he'd like the fucked up crime procedural from the 2010s

2022/03/27 22:25

after watching the first episode with me, my friend has suggested regular hannibal watch parties for the rest! i am over the moon! sharing the best show i've seen in recent memory <3

today (my today, which has parts of today and yesterday in it) was a very normalizing day. the pathologist was very quiet in my friend's presence. i loved it

2022/03/27 03:16

good luck in your work. and good night.

2022/03/27 02:25

no, i have changed actually. i think you noticed. but largely, still the same. less rude. i've been trying

2022/03/27 02:24

when you met me i was filled with so much fucking anger. now less so but i still can't let it out

2022/03/27 01:59

even if we were to speak like penpals, once every few months, i wouldn't even mind! because each catching up session ends up so rich and vivid with detail and new progress we've made in our lives and new hopes and new obsessions and new friends and new everything!

2022/03/27 01:58

feels nice to talk to one of the best internet friends i've ever had again :')

2022/03/27 01:49

love asking my gamer friends about their games. i have intense simulation sickness + a potato of a laptop so most games are out of my reach. i live vicariously through them. their energy and passion is infectious. please tell me. what is the game about? what do you do in the game? which parts are the most fun? which parts aren't? if you could change something in this to make it more fun what would it be? what is your favorite tiny obscure detail you can't believe the devs accounted for? tell me everything!

2022/03/26 18:27

can't decide if i'm stealthy or incredibly obvious but my friend who is sufficiently internetted did not even raise a textual brow at me mentioning my investment in a "horror crime procedural tv show from the mid 2010s"

2022/03/26 15:30

tired of being sick all the time. tired of being in pain all the time. tumblr keeps telling me that makes me disabled. who wants to be disabled? i don't care how many physical and mental illnesses i have. i am holding on to the status and veneer of abled-ness till it is forcibly pried from my cold dead hands

the plot's going so well but the fucking epithets are driving me mad. i've half a mind to discard and move onto the next one if i continue to be tested

2022/03/24 21:32

this is why i can make sense of anyone's actions after the fact by how it must make sense to them even if i don't agree. i give everyone the benefit of the doubt because i have no way of feeling what they feel. i see every person as a labyrinth of complex experiences and influences and motives and feelings, but as completely unapproachable to me

2022/03/24 21:30

mary's room the thought experiment is me with empathy, i think. i don't relate to people, i just understand them by working back. like if this is their background and those are their motives, it would or wouldn't make sense that they feel this way now. same with characters. of well written or performed ones, i often remark you can feel their feelings. but i can't. what i mean to say there is i find the performance compelling and understandable. in a literary sense i do well analyzing and trying to predict a character's motivations and actions but in the wild with real people i mostly find myself at a loss. high immersion in stories doesn't translate to empathy, and i'm living proof.

2022/03/24 18:31

how to be a good liar

  1. make people believe you're a bad liar. (get purposefully caught with bad, obvious, but ultimately harmless lies sometimes. people need to have a template for what you look like/how you act when you tell the truth and when you're lying. display physical tells, so that when you need a lie to go undetected, you simply don't perform these tells.)

  2. the lie has to get you in trouble somehow. it has to have some kind of consequence or be embarrassing, so people will think it's a hard-to-tell truth, especially when nested inside of a bad, obvious lie.

  3. believe the lie while you tell it. the truth does not exist while it leaves your mouth. construct a palace of memories and recalled feelings as if you experienced every aspect of that false reality.

2022/03/24 05:44

pathologist: people just go on the internet and lie for no discernable reason. does it make you feel powerful? does it make you feel like a more understandable person with a more consistent set of traits? is it more predictions and anticipation of future feelings mental states and opinions? is it more wishful thinking?

2022/03/24 02:15

i never over-commit to one vibe or genre of media and make it my personality. i have my classical playlist and jazz fusion playlist and prog rock playlist and kpop playlist and hiphop playlist and avant garde metal playlist and anime playlist and chiptune playlist and psy trance playlist and electro pop playlist and many others. they all have their days. i can enjoy a wholesome show or story like a parfait eaten on occasion just the same as i can indulge in the most depraved shit out there. my two main areas of reading are history+political economy and gay porn; both function as palate cleansers for each other. it's why i never think i'm better than anyone for liking a thing. i can fully see and understand how and why anyone might come to like anything, even things i hate. i don't base my personality on my tastes or what i do with my free time. i base my personality on being sad and pathetic. peace n love 😌

and don't even get me started on necrofantasia. there's a good reason why it's so iconic and remixed into infinity

2022/03/19 20:53

i'm serious, perfect cherry blossom's soundtrack is perfect. from the moment the game starts and paradise ~ deep mountain starts playing, you KNOW you're in for an elegant, mystical, emotional adventure. the soundtrack literally feels like the last days of winter giving way to spring. i say this as someone who lives in a tropical country and has never once experienced a season; i know what the beginning of spring feels like because of this game. the fantastic legend of tohno and withered leaf do such a great job in sonically representing the setting to you that the graphics barely even matter. the capital city of flowers in the sky combined with stage four's gameplay is a transcendent experience. and the final fight with yuyuko scored with border of life? you FEEL this ghost girl's pain and melancholy and why she did all that she did. nothing compares.

2022/03/19 20:23

yes the world is messed up but as long as i can listen to the capital city of flowers in the sky and remember perfect cherry blossom, everything feels like it's going to be fine

i used to use certain songs as milking machines for my eyes to make myself cry. now none of them work. i want to cry so much but no matter what i am just not able to. the closest i can get is purposefully irritating my oversensitive eyes with light, specifically flashing lights with eye-straining colors. that would make me tear up, but it's the irritated and painful kind of tears, and i don't feel any relief afterwards

2022/03/17 21:34

pathologist: even now, you still reread, multiple times, the most mildly complimentary or positive words anyone ever directs at you. if they existed on paper instead of a screen, you would run your fingers over the letters while smiling to yourself, and review whatever you did with those words in mind, trying to see it in the same way as those people who left you the nice words. you only help people because you feel your heart pound and swell in your chest whenever someone thanks you. you want nothing more than to be thanked, but you insist without fail every time to the receiver that whatever nice thing you did does not warrant any thanks. in the moments of their silence before expressing gratitude, you are screaming inside your head THANK ME! THANK ME! but there is also that moment of doubt where you anticipate anger, a scolding. after all, you live to be scolded.

2022/03/17 16:06

can confirm, this is how it goes:

2022/03/17 06:36

in a few months, it'll be the eleventh anniversary of that hospital trip.

2022/03/17 06:20

at thirteen, i'd gotten really good at writing my mother's signature. i could copy it flawlessly, and no one who ever looked between a signature of hers that she wrote and a signature of hers that i wrote could tell the difference, including her. nowadays, i'd say that i can write her signature even better than she can. this is because, as she got older, the occasions where she had to write her own signature became more and more seldom since her working days (which ended years before i was born). whenever i accompanied her to government offices or corporate mazes (to carry her things and especially her umbrella, because otherwise she'd lose it), she always had to practice her signature a few times on her little spiral notebook before she could write it confidently. i only needed one try, if i had a reference to look at (which i did; for many years i had a picture of her signature saved in my phone's camera roll for whenever i happened to need it).

the reason i got so good at writing my mother's signature is because she despised keeping up with my school documents. i would leave her forms and permission slips and report cards she was required to sign, and she could never be relied on to remember them. as i've doubtless mentioned many times before, i seem to have inherited her bad memory, and untreated adhd makes me fairly scatterbrained when it comes to most objects even on a good day. it's why i always did my homework at the school cafeteria or library after class; i knew i would never get it done at home. i shopped for project supplies the day they were announced, and if possible, i left everything at school. it didn't require much adjustment to take inventory of all the day's forms at the same time as my homework, quickly fill them in, and shove everything back into my schoolbag before i went home, forgotten until the next day.

about the signatures, my mother cared so little that she rarely noticed. her only grumbling about school trips, for example, was that i'd better not ask her for any pocket money unless it was for something that couldn't be avoided, like commute money. she didn't care whether or not i studied for anything either; she just wanted a line of 90+ marks on my report card every quarter as proof that i was as smart as she thought i was. regardless of studying or preparation, according to her, i should just be able to ace it all. this is one of the things about which she and my father agreed. he used to say all the time that back when he was in school, all he'd have to do was listen to a lecture and he'd simply remember everything, enough to breeze through every test.

overall, she displayed strictness rather differently than every other mother i've encountered. by some measures, she was permissive, expecting me to just seamlessly sort out by myself many things which i observed most other kids needed help or even wholly let their parents handle. she never attended pta meetings (because i should never do anything that would require her presence at one of them). she never cared what i wore, as long as i never bugged her about buying clothes, though of course she would get her fill of complaining about how unbecoming it was that i mostly wore men's clothes (hand-me-downs from my dad, uncles, and male cousins). she never cared what i did in my free time (as long as i was on call when she needed me and i never spent any money, so no real extracurriculars or hobbies could be pursued in any seriousness. everything costs money, even in ways you don't think about like the money spent commuting, money for meals/snacks/drinks while outside, etc. not being locked inside the house was a conscious waste of money because temptation to spend was everywhere).

i used to compete in science quiz bees or journalism meets or writing competitions because of school, and she loved collecting my medals, but i never got very far because i never prepared for anything and she had no interest in providing any support because those things always cost money. she would always say that if i was really that good, i'd just rise to the top naturally, no training or tutors needed. eventually i stopped letting myself be talked into competing for these things by my teachers because i hated how disappointed they looked when i inevitably got eliminated at the division or regional level, after one or two successes. she never asked about them again after that.

she never cared that i never had any close friends, and i never tried making any for various reasons (could never trust anyone; couldn't do small talk; lost interest and forgot anyone unless they saw and approached me every day; was disenchanted by listening in long sessions to her badmouth her best friends from high school; was too singularly invested in my parents' marriage and individual lives that i had no room for any other deep and meaningful social connections). i still instinctively knew which people she wouldn't approve of: no effeminate guys because they disgust her; guys in general were bad news, no relationships; no girly girls who would train me to be a slut; no butch girls who would train me to be a lesbian; no poor kids who'd rub off their stench and bad taste; no rich kids who'd train me to think spending money on frivolous things was okay; no activist types who would turn me into a communist like her older sister (dead); no troublemakers with crimes or vices.

i also had a feeling that she was never unhappy about my lack of friends because that meant i had lots of time and attention to spare whenever she needed a marriage counselor or a secretary or simply another warm body to drag to places. but, like i said earlier, as long as i could always be on call, she otherwise didn't care what i did. unless i really fucked up, that is. it was also unspoken that i had no right to complain or be unhappy because she gave me unparalleled freedom; what more could i want?

two years after i mastered my mother's signature, i had little in the way of social skills or life skills in general (besides cooking and cleaning). my only real skill was the ability to amuse myself in solitude without ever needing to spend a single cent. i'd never gone anywhere and i'd never done anything (still haven't to this day). my only vice was the internet because beyond having to pay for the connection and electricity, i could do whatever i wanted for free. i had no bedroom or own bed or personal space for any possessions, but that was fine since i didn't have much in the way of objects other than a phone (christmas gift from an aunt) and laptop (salvaged from a repair shop's scrap). the digital space was my only space, and the only objects i could collect were mp3s and mp4s and jpegs and pngs and watch lists and ebook folders - records of where my time has gone.

two years after i mastered my mother's signature, my adhd had finally caught up to me in school. i shortcircuited. shit happened: grades fell, tried to kill myself a few times, ended up in a hospital, and forfeited my scholarship to the high school my mother picked.

after graduating, i was supposed to go straight to the top university in the country's best campus via scholarship, the one she couldn't get into even via waiting list. the high school was a science high school, and a stipulation of the scholarship contract was that i had to for sure go to university and pick a bachelor of science degree or else i would have to pay them back. i always had an amateur fascination with science as a kid, but three years in that high school made me realize that i had absolutely no interest in any of the real work science involved; i didn't want to teach or do research or have lives on the line with my work and i didn't have a dedicated passion for one specific thing that would result in studies and progress. but never mind that. if i was a smart kid, i was supposed to go into stem. it had always been a foregone conclusion that i'd get some highly respectable stem degree and have an irresistibly beautiful resume and land a job that would surely make me rich and my mom would finally be lifted out of near-poverty and get to travel through europe and rebuild her wardrobe and buy a car just like the ones she saw in the magazines she read when she went to the parlor for a pedicure.

instead, i fucked up, and she was furious. it wasn't the kind of furious i was used to, which was the way she often was with my dad (he fully reciprocated), or the kind of furious she was at my lesser transgressions. according to her, suicide was a guaranteed ticket to hell (coming from a woman who hadn't attended church in years). she said that not only had i ruined my only chance at a good life (the scholarship), but i doomed my afterlife too.

she fucked up her signature on my release documents from the hospital, and made my dad sign them instead. after she left, i asked him how he paid for the hospital bills, and he said he borrowed money from his sisters which would be deducted from his inheritance (a meager share of the selling price of his parents' house). to lighten the mood, i told him jokingly, while looking at the scribbly mess mom left on the papers, that i could've done a better job.

new achievement: i haven't cut my nails (neither with my nail cutter nor my teeth) for five days. i fucking hate it. as a replacement compulsion, i've taken to more often and more obsessively washing my hands because the primary reason why i never liked growing my nails out in the first place is that it's now possible for dirt to get under them. a possible solution could be getting a manicure with nail polish; maybe if i'm not able to see every minute trace of dirt through the opaque nature of the polish, i could resist both the hand washing AND the cutting/biting. however, a neat manicure job is easily ruined by one session of dishwashing or laundry, and i KNOW that if i saw the tiniest spot where the nail polish has been scratched off, i wouldn't be able to stop scraping and scratching until all the polish is off and half the length of my nails is off and i'm bleeding all over my hands and mouth.

when i was four years old, my butt and thighs and legs were, for a time, absolutely covered in painful and disgusting boils. instead of seeing a dermatologist and opting for some ridiculously bankrupting treatment, my mom had me sit naked in a large metal basin filled with salt and warm water every morning for half an hour while she washed clothes. i hated the coarse feeling of rock salt that had, at multiple points, pierced my pathetic baby skin and turned the water a bit bloody. she scolded me for moving too much or sitting all wrong. i scowled and continued to fidget, even more because the heat of the late morning sun always ensured the metal basin quickly became unbearable. after a month of this, and her stubbornly treating the boils with cheap ointment, the boils disappeared. she took care of me. i didn't complain too much.

my beloved mother's preferred way of "fat-shaming" me was describing in detail how she would cook me if i were a pig because with how fat i was getting, surely i would be fat enough to eat soon. she'd pinch my thigh and talk about the possible quality of broth my bones would produce. it was only in high school that i learned the the joking threats of cannibalism my parents and i always made to insult each other were not, in fact, normal. there were lots of animal-calling in general, but my parents both absolutely hated having pets around, and they would throw rocks to turn away strays, so it was always clear to me.

the one thing i'm never gonna be able to be nice about is foreigners speaking tagalog like literally no foreigner has ever sounded good with it. it's embarrassing. i will always viciously judge them while having no right to bc i only learned the language like almost 10 years late despite living here all my life. i still sound perfect despite the fact that i have a hilariously inadequate vocabulary 😜

from a message i wrote in some random discord server's vent channel:

i'm desensitized to everything but sometimes i become lucid again. [...] it's sickening. i'm sick of it. [...] i just can't seem to take it today. [...] it doesn't bother them that their strongly worded letters won't ever amount to anything. they're just controlled opposition and they have no idea what a nonexistent challenge they pose. usually it doesn't bother me but how the fuck do we live like this? without being so profoundly angry you'd be willing to [REDACTED]. anything to stop this theater of madness.

as revenge on my throat, i ate the most i have in months! it's also nice to have such a comfortable degree of separation from any media i consume because it was really healthy for me to eat my chicken and rice at the right mealtime. watching a show with gratuitous gore in 1080p wasn't going to mess with that

2022/03/09 23:55

i should see a psychiatrist? the thing that turned will graham gay??

2022/03/09 23:46

my dad the last time i called him: "i can't believe you still think you're evil by nature because she cited tantrums you had when you were a toddler and how it made her think you weren't entirely human"

me: "so it wasn't reasonable for her to believe i was momentarily possessed by dark spirits when i did something she didn't like?"

the pathologist had a fucking field day with that conversation, let me tell you

2022/03/09 23:39

sometimes i think about beta'ing a few favorite fic for my own private reading pleasure and it makes me feel unbelievably conflicted. reading unbeta'd fic by non-native english-speakers is somewhat therapeutic for me because it's the one activity that allows me to quiet the voices screeching and whining and raving constantly about wrongness.

today while watching that show i'm currently watching, i noticed a typo in the momentary shot of an article passage. man instead of may. one letter off, and it jumped out to me immediately. i don't think i've ever read anything without a single mistake i noticed. everything else in this show is so deliberately crafted that i had to think twice about it. "maybe it's intentional to show her, at times, unscrupulous character as a journalist?" but i don't know.

i can't let these things go in a multimillion dollar production, or even a publication whose writers do copyediting for each other's articles, overseen by their editors, with no dedicated person to do my job.

i remember being no more than ten and eagerly reading the new issue of a magazine at booksale, and my excitement turned to a sour frown so fast when i began to notice the tons of horrible mistakes. all the people who worked on it were older than me. why were they all so wrong? i've always thought i was the most wrong person i know. the wrongness itches from the inside of my skull every day, and i long to rid myself of it. but these people are even more wrong. so many mistakes i would never even have to correct if i wrote those pieces because i would never make them in the first place.

my high school advisor for journalism club trusted my SPAG so much that i could tell he only skimmed over the news article i wrote directly into the microsoft publisher file. he said it was to save time, and for me to subconsciously shape and trim my words to fit aesthetically with the meager word count and few justified blocks allotted to me. everyone else had to pass on their work to the upperclassmen assigned editors.

i respected them, but still frowned sourly upon reading the released paper. we only got to release one or two a year, and that's what i had to look at? a few tiny mistakes, so few because they were good at their jobs, but anything nonzero was still itchy itchy ITCHY!!!!!

back to fic. i'm a fan of rarepairs and dead fandoms and small fandoms. i don't get to choose from that big a pool a lot of the time. i don't get to control how comfortably someone is writing in a foreign language. they share these works out of the sheer love in their hearts and desire to be heard and understood by kindred souls, hoping we readers also see what they saw.

scraping the depths of ao3 taught me to look past the words themselves, so easily editable in my mind that i could never put down the red pen, and see the intention behind them. over the years i started seeking, specifically, works of authors who are non-native speakers. authors who translated their own works in their native language to help them practice english. with a different language comes a different way of thinking, and a different rhythm to the words. cultural story conventions are different. taboos are different. also, you can tell a lot about how someone learned english by the stock phrases* they tend to incorporate in their writing.

(*little of what we say is original content. we don't learn letters or even words individually, but as sentences and ideas and feelings. we just see the same clumps of letters used in the same way so many times and assume their meaning.)

someone who learned it in class will write very differently from someone who paid little attention in school but was addicted to binging american tv shows. anyway, i just love it. the unpolished diversity of thought, freeing me from the banshee clutches of the wrongness.

but sometimes, i think to myself, surely i can polish it a little bit. harmlessly. funnily enough, it's so incredibly fucking WRONG, though. the shape of your words doesn't deserve to be defiled by my sandpaper soaked in red ink.

(***i type in lapslock because it's faster, and it's how i see words in my mind. i can't visualize. also, the best scripts don't have case. i never liked that, but i refuse to read anybody else longform like this. double standard.)

the nazis literally had the most effective well written propaganda. it just needs a cosmetic touch-up in euphemisms every once in a while. i am reminded of this every day with every new "let us defend against the asiatic hordes" article from the neocons. they don't have a single original bone in their bodies and neither do the people they plagiarize

pathologist: the reason you never outgrew your fear of dogs isn't because every dog hates you (which is true, even those described by their owners as "the sweetest thing" make them go "i'm so sorry, i don't know why he's acting like this", even babies, old ones, sick ones, etc.) but because anger you perceive to be justified is the only thing you respond to

2022/03/06 20:23

pathologist: the missionary at her best is the keeper of a menagerie of futures and possible lives and longterm strategies for social success. she is all about empathy and compassion and seeing the good in everyone*, about aspirations and creeds and standards. but at her worst she is the one who subverts your parents' favorite guilt trip into how dare you eat when others starve, how dare you amuse yourself when there are others who suffer, how dare you write, how dare you sleep, how dare you breathe, all the misery experienced by everyone else in the world is but a fraction of what you deserve as rightful punishment, how dare you, how dare you, how dare you. you try to channel your parents' version of the guilt trip as a counter to her, but it rings hollow because they are not you, not like she is.

*except you.

2022/02/25 10:25

from a message i never sent, saving here as a reminder to myself:

have you ever felt that a mask you put on has evolved to have more control over you than you over it? because that's how i've been feeling with this online identity i've kept up on and off for almost 8 years, though it has evolved significantly over time. it makes me feel so restricted because of the things inconsistent with the identity, which i can never reveal online. but at the same time, it makes me feel so incredibly free because of the things i can say honestly with the shield of this identity, but which i can't say in real life. i guess that's why i kept it up for so long despite everything. but recently i've been feeling that the restrictive bit has finally outweighed the freeing bit, so i think it might be time to hang up the cloak and just go back to being me. (though, i don't have a super solid grip on what 'me' means anymore. sometimes i feel like the identity, despite all its inconsistencies with my real life, is more reflective of who i am inside. maybe both are me, just different irreconcilable fragments.)

now... why am i telling you all this? well, i know we haven't talked in a while since i'm so fucking bad at keeping in touch, but i still consider you one of the best friend's i've had over the course of time i've kept this identity. thus, i felt like you deserved to know. this will probably be my last message from this account, so i just wanted to end it with the send off message of: doubt the things i've said about myself and my background in the past. which were me, which were part of the identity. i could say the fake parts are now dead or never existed at all, but they could also be more like a self-fulfilling prophecy, a prediction, or just hyperbolic analogy of things i couldn't express plainly. were they metaphors or just lies?

as an actual final parting message, i guess i could course correct by saying my real first name. however, i hate my name and i plan to get it legally changed (this desire being one of many expressed through the identity). so, revealing it wouldn't really mean anything, huh?

am i ambidextrous? i write with my left hand because that comes naturally to me, but my right hand is pretty dominant too. i use it for spoons, scissors, and computer mice. but, i use my left hand for my touchpad, forks, knives (except when i'm also using a fork), and needles when sewing. i can write with my right hand, and it's uglier because that's not what i'm used to, but after an hour or so of doing it it pretty much looks normal. my dad is right-handed, and he says he uses his dominant hand for everything, including forks when he's eating something that only requires a fork. in contrast, spoons remain in my right hand when i'm eating soup or ice cream because my brain is just wired to "spoons are for the right hand." i think i'm mostly left-handed and i've just gotten used to using my right for things that are impossible or highly impractical to use my left, the best example being scissors. i learned intuitively as a child that scissors simply don't function in my left hand. i tried left-handed scissors once at a mall department store as an adult, and those just felt weird to me. i didn't like those left-handed arm-desks when i first encountered them in high school because all throughout my primary and elementary years, i got used to right-handed ones. mice in internet cafes are always positioned on the right, so i just got used to using them that way, and now that i use a wireless mouse and can place it anywhere i like, using it with my left hand is similarly uncomfortable and strange.

PEOPLE YOU ONCE KNEW ARE DEAD. i was so scared of death as a kid, especially when i first learned about it. apparently i thought immortality was the default and i'd be able to observe the heat death of the universe so when i was informed that i would stop existing a long time before that, i was shocked and i didn't want to believe it.

remember when ON:E was the only concert where they didn't perform INU since its release?

2021/12/24 12:32

just gonna need to do something about my wifi and then we're good 👌

2021/12/24 12:31

btw i am moving soon!!! i have found a place!!!!! :D

2021/12/24 12:31

oh to have a 2-0 bullet record against the world champion

2021/12/23 22:15

all the artists on my tl are enjoying the new(?) play and you know what? good for them!

2021/12/22 16:26

even to this day i can't do it, i can't express anger, i have to remind myself it's natural but if it is natural and i'm not capable of it, what does that make me?

2021/12/22 16:25

i can't believe how long i believed you

2021/12/22 16:24

you are the only one whose anger is righteous. everyone else's is evil. anger towards you is violence, thus you are the biggest and only victim. that's what you taught me

2021/12/22 16:23

except when you're the one who's angry, then there is a good reason and the ones who are bad are the ones you call you bad for being angry or for whatever you do when you're angry

2021/12/22 16:22

anger==evil, according to you

2021/12/22 16:22

you were the one who taught me that as long as i never get angry, i never scream, then i'm not the one who's wrong

2021/12/22 14:37

2021/12/20 14:54

it's almost as if- i was only able to get over my wrongness complex and be normal about the wrong things

2021/12/20 14:53

pathologist: but sometimes, you know you are and you don't care

2021/12/20 14:52

pathologist: honestly it makes sense, the obsession about being wrong and the constant self-doubt even about obvious empirical things that aren't even a consideration for most people, and on the off chance that they were wrong, it wouldn't even matter because they would only be wrong in their private notes that nobody would ever see. but it was never about other people, you just can't handle seeing yourself be wrong

2021/12/20 14:48

writing quickly becomes unfun because my inner critic can be quite weird, i could type a single perfectly normal word in the document and it will passionately convince me that that word never existed which will necessitate me looking it up from multiple sources and checking if the etymology and meaning is consistent across them all and only then will my suddenly conjured fears about using a nonexistent word i made up be dispelled

2021/12/20 14:46

i've tried touching grass, it didn't work. more serious outdoorsy activities are only nice until i remember i'm anemic

2021/12/20 14:45

maybe there's nothing deeply wrong with me and i'm just wrong about it as usual, but if that was correct then i would also be correct about there being something fundamentally wrong with me

2021/12/20 14:42

i'm fragile in the wrong places, desensitized to the wrong things, only embarrassed by the wrong things, made anxious by the wrong situations, calm at the wrong times. no matter where you look it's just wrong wrong wrong wrong

2021/12/20 14:40

i think i've invested far too much in external/surface-level toughness that when it comes to my ideas it's like i could be daydreaming about writing the same one thing for the whole day but i see one little thing and that can just shatter it all. ugh

2021/12/20 14:38

2021/12/18 20:51

one of the jp artists i follow on twitter posts a daily december 'advent calendar' which consists of one or more of their --- plushies and a cute caption treating them like little pets, stuff along the lines of "he tried to eat this chocolate but it was too big :<", "he fell into this bowl and got stuck!", "here he is tucked into bed 🥰" and i love these so so so much 😭😭😭

no, eating out of the salad bar of ideology is not much better than eating out of the trash can of ideology

2021/12/18 05:06

i never finished my degree but even i'm not that deranged and i can extend enough empathy not to want to call people irredeemable freaks any chance i get. if you get into it specifically to belittle people then i'm afraid that is just not the career for you

2021/12/18 05:04

genuinely i'm worried for any future patients to be had by antis who pursue a psych degree/study to become therapists. feel like they're gonna do more harm than good there

2021/12/18 03:16

NO REALLY I'M JUST DRAWING A BLANK

2021/12/18 03:16

I CAN

2021/12/18 03:15

i know i can be good at talking. sometimes

2021/12/18 02:25

forgot the phrase i wanted to enter into neuralblender

2021/12/18 01:38

two contradictory desires:

(1) sometimes, i want to sing

(2) always, i want to sound like a man

2021/12/18 00:46

i've forgotten so many details about past versions of the fiction, the kind of story it was always varied wildly based on the community

2021/12/17 23:53

why don't you talk about the shame?

it's so annoying, i go and do my laundry and parts of my shirts are just inexplicably bloodstained. sometimes i backtrack and only find the wound by looking at where the stain would've come from

bleeding again :/

it's just different over there, not necessarily worse. ok maybe worse. but still better than where i came from

2021/12/16 07:14

i don't want an audience i want feedback, hope this helps

2021/12/16 03:12

I WANT TO TALK

2021/12/16 02:55

we're friends for as long as this hyperfixation lasts

2021/12/15 21:00

i miss them :(

2021/12/15 20:59

can't believe it just ENDED with mago :| what a way to go but still goddamn

2021/12/15 20:43

apparently i was really well-behaved as a baby and young child. how could it go so wrong?

2021/12/15 20:42

even i look like an angel when asleep

2021/12/15 18:17

i love talking! i think i've gotten better as a conversationalist but i could have easily gotten worse

2021/12/15 18:16

TALK TO MEEEEEEEEE!

2021/12/14 06:37

one of my worst qualities is when i get to the peak of frustration and misery @ not being able to make stuff it can get to the point where i'm unable to enjoy other people's stuff if they're close by or are about the same topics. i can only consume poorly-executed stuff which i'll hate bc that will charge me with some sort of "righteous anger" to do better, "surely even i can do better than that." like, hate-consuming content just to trick myself out of a slump and not being able to engage with good stuff at all until i'm done with what i wanted to make and thus am capable of saying nice things about the good stuff again.

2021/12/14 01:40

it's fine when they do it, only i hold myself to not

2021/12/13 22:02

enjoy your techno-delusions, but don't expect tax money to fund you LARPing them

2021/12/13 09:37

everything hurts

fuck this migraine too

2021/12/13 06:39

i wish i could rip the words out of my skull

2021/12/13 06:38

i just want to make something good

names are weird. i have a preferred online name and i like when people call me that online but i would never want anyone irl to call me that and vice versa for my preferred rl name

2021/12/11 01:52

ok done

2021/12/11 01:36

i hate imdb's website redesign so much it's unusable on mobile and snail slow on pc but if i turn off javascript i can't even VIEW my watchlist. if imdb alternatives have an 'import your ratings and watchlist' feature like myanimelist and its alternatives have, I'M OUT

2021/12/11 01:02

delicate

2021/12/11 01:02

i can only do it when it is actively holding me back from continuing

2021/12/11 01:01

i mean sometimes i can do it but never when i actually need to

2021/12/11 01:01

even more, i wish i could read back on what i write

2021/12/11 00:47

damn i wish i could write

2021/12/11 00:46

no that is a lie i definitely want to talk about writing

2021/12/11 00:45

i don't want to act overly familiar or like give you walls of text about my writing though

2021/12/11 00:45

i'm not sure what is safe territory yet but i like talking to you

it's a beautiful morning and i need to take a nap

2021/12/10 07:01

ill-advised personifications of things that "shouldn't" be personified. it's fun though. by fun i mean a trainwreck but at least it's funny

lol

2021/12/10 05:45

one of the many reasons why whatever suffering comes my way i most likely deserve <3

2021/12/10 05:44

i should not have the job that i have, someone this fucking illiterate and stupid doesn't deserve it

2021/12/10 05:44

add to this my general illiteracy and yeah

2021/12/10 05:43

i am such a fucking child, i can't read fiction in first person, it's downright abnormal

2021/12/10 05:28

i need to play lotus land story again

2021/12/10 04:10

i can go on as long as i have my digital little happy place <3 (not here)

2021/12/10 02:30

update: suffering's fine actually

2021/12/09 21:28

even if it ends up being more expensive i think i've suffered enough (fingers cross i don't change my mind in a week and think "suffering's fine actually")

2021/12/09 21:27

fun fact, the toilet actually used to be so much worse during the first year after i moved in bc apparently the previous tenant was fucking flushing tissues and diapers and FOOD down there (according to landlady's son) but it clogged less bc i was regularly cleaning the bathroom

2021/12/09 21:25

i can almost taste it. no more floods. no more random brownouts/blackouts. no more having to carry pails several blocks over when water cuts out and i have to use my neighbor's deep well. no more frequently unusable toilet

2021/12/09 21:23

honestly, a bigger place with a roommate could be good. living alone sucks

2021/12/09 21:23

after over three years in this absolute shithole i've run out of excuses to stay here

2021/12/09 21:22

i might be moving out soon :)

2021/12/09 19:18

i wish i could get angry

2021/12/09 19:17

they're often watery and stinging bc of light but i still can't cry

2021/12/09 19:17

my eyes hurt. i wanna cry

2021/12/09 19:17

i don't come when called

2021/12/09 16:24

why is three adult weeb men fighting passionately about food so fucking hilarious

2021/12/09 15:21

"men don't cry" god i wish i could though sometimes

2021/12/09 15:21

the one benefit to not being able to cry or get angry is that my voice gets the most high pitched during those times so it's probably for the best because if i heard myself with a voice that high it would kill me

2021/12/09 15:19

stchuff!!

2021/12/09 13:15

see, the thing that gets me about my dreams is the mirrors are always perfectly detailed and accurate

2021/12/09 05:50

gonna wait for the sun, maybe i just need to have another houseplant moment

2021/12/09 05:50

gross gross disgusting freak (x25)

2021/12/09 05:44

"interpretation" saved it

2021/12/09 05:44

i go back to my little corner. i almost slipped up

2021/12/09 02:43

the store across the street from my apartment sells gin but that's my dad's liquor and i never liked it

2021/12/09 02:42

the funny thing is, ordering liquor online was never even an option bc every time i'd get tempted and search up my preferred brand of cheap vodka on lazada i would feel so fucking guilty and close the app out of guilt and misery

2021/12/09 02:41

god, remember when i was a raging alcoholic back in 2018 and earlier but especially 2018? that was a fucked up year but still, and now i haven't had a drop since quarantine started bc the 7eleven where i used to buy all my liquor shut down and i've just been too much of a shut-in to go out and get it elsewhere. it's like, having to go through the effort made me realize that a bad thing wasn't worth that effort and it just got easier to stay clean

2021/12/09 01:59

let me tell you, i can be a VERY outdoorsy person as long as you always drag me along and never ask me where i want to go or what i want to do

2021/12/09 01:45

honestly i feel like the canon design suits them more, both personality- and history-wise

2021/12/09 01:45

all the fucking broken hearts with the new character reveals, i feel sorry for them but at the same time it's fucking hilarious

2021/12/08 04:06

making friends is the best thing in the world. shonen anime is so, so, so correct about this

2021/12/07 20:23

i understand

2021/12/07 19:25

maybe if i shovel enough sugar into my mouth the itchiness will go away :)

2021/12/07 19:24

my palette never really graduated from when i was 8 years old. in fact i think it got worse

2021/12/07 19:12

sugary cereal is definitely junk food but dear god i have a horrible frosted flakes addiction and it's so expensive here so i am just here going broke to feed myself crispy corn and sugar 😭😭😭

2021/12/07 03:13

saying i'm a fan of the manga specifically just makes people think i'm pretentious but honestly it's more like i just saw the manga first so it's the Definitive version of the story for me and everything else that comes out after will inevitably be compared. and i could never have the same perspective as anyone who watched before they read

2021/12/07 03:11

i'm a really unfun person to talk about jojo with. when i nitpick anime vs manga pacing and art style adaptation and colors and manga-only details and other little differences and the evolution of how dp figured out how to adapt parts with the stumbles in between i say all that WITH LOVE. WITH LOVE!!! it just doesn't come across that way

2021/12/07 03:04

re: the discourse: i enjoyed it in an irreconcilably different way than you did, and i'm not interested in hearing how you enjoyed it. just leave me alone

2021/12/06 17:38

i'm nothing like you

2021/12/06 17:38

i'm not your fucking daughter. you don't have a daughter. you never had a fucking daughter. the fact that you can't see that is the problem

2021/12/06 17:37

now after not so much as a peep for 2 years she's acting like everything's okay between us

2021/12/06 17:36

i wish i didn't love her. not even because she birthed me and raised me and all her talk about how i should be grateful. no. i love her despite all that, despite everything that she did and i don't think i could truly hate her as much as i do if i didn't also love her. if i didn't think there was the slightest chance she could do better

2021/12/06 17:34

scammed by an online "boyfriend" and now she wants MY help? after everything?

2021/12/06 17:33

another day another reason to be thankful i'm not allo

2021/12/06 16:07

there's more!!!

2021/12/06 04:14

and shaft and wit i guess. with the others it could go either way

2021/12/06 04:04

when it comes to 3d and anime, at the moment i put most of my faith in ufotable

2021/12/06 04:00

anyway, arcane was beautifully animated. throughout its 9 episodes of 35+ minutes each, there was only one (1) single scene that lasted maybe a minute or less in which i noticed particularly cgi-y movement and it's easily forgiven bc the rest of the experience was gorgeously stylized visuals and movement

2021/12/06 03:56

it isn't disney, or pixar, or any of the others, but apparently riot who makes me think "ah yes, THIS is what 3d animation is capable of!" sony too, with spider-verse. anime has yet to catch up, and since ghibli's venture into this was meh, the best fully cgi anime in recent memory is STILL land of the lustrous which means there's still a ways to go

2021/12/05 21:08

i would've loved to become moe.thoughts.page

2021/12/04 21:24

just realized i can't even change my username/url because all my linkbacks to previous thoughts would break since past thoughts can't be edited, only deleted :<

2021/12/04 20:51

magnetic to the corruptible. repulsive to everyone else

2021/12/04 19:42

dio, who is by the way canonically a lawyer, would fit right in the ace attorney universe

2021/12/04 16:16

yes, i would prefer to be invisible, for the general public to have no idea what i am, than to be the subject of a national debate

2021/12/04 00:56

ah puh!

2021/12/03 19:54

i can't get the same font though (。◕︿◕。)

2021/12/03 19:02

in that case:

2021/12/03 19:01

i'll need to back up my current theme of course in case i wanna change it back

2021/12/03 19:01

trying to decide whether or not i should recolor this thoughts page to resemble my tumblr (◕ᴗ◕ )

2021/12/03 12:56

maybe you just prefer what you heard first

2021/12/03 12:55

maybe there's something the imitation did that the original didn't. even by pure circumstance, the imitator may have had a personal sensibility the creator didn't because they were from a different time, but a listener in the present would have because they were from the same time

2021/12/03 11:12

i would never recommend corporal punishment to any parent, in fact i abhor the practice when used on other people, but i have to admit it REALLY worked on me. i used to be a good child when they used the belt

2021/12/02 23:02

now i REALLY wanna write something based on no vacancy

2021/12/02 21:26

guuuuh i'm still fucking reeling over the revelation that g-s--- of all people likes --r--- 😭💕

2021/12/02 21:22

to prepare for the stone ocean anime, i will of course have to reread the manga so i can spot the differences more finely 🥰

it feels like i never truly feel full or clean and i can only ever stave off hunger and filth for a little bit until i have to do it all over again. it feels like i can only continue staving them off till the day i die

2021/12/02 16:42

i used to go to truly great lengths to prevent my mother picking fights with people. now i wonder why i ever bothered

2021/12/01 20:04

2019 was also a crazy year but it gets completely disqualified due to how 2020 turned out

2021/12/01 20:03

now that i think about it almost all the even number years were crazy. 2016, 2018, 2008, 2014, 2012, 2020

2021/12/01 20:02

2016 was the other year

2021/12/01 20:02

2018 was THE YEAR

bad contrast is tolerable if i can highlight the text and they haven't messed with the colors there but the tiny text that breaks the whole layout if i zoom in? now that's just too much

still, i respect her effort. there's an appeal to the kind of aesthetic she's going for. it just happens to be horribly inaccessible :'(

2021/11/27 12:33

TEMPORARY DELUSION

2021/11/27 12:33

i apologize to the eyes one. i was so mean to that one but that made much more sense than this. the ending of that was also not good but it kinda made sense. it was building up to it and it was following the source material, after all. temporary delusion as the ultimate explanation there made sense. whatever happened with the well one did not

2021/11/27 12:31

IT WENT BEYOND MY USUAL FAILURE TO UNDERSTAND ALLO PEOPLE. IT JUST STRAIGHT UP MADE NO SENSE. I THINK EVEN ALLO PEOPLE WOULD AGREE THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE. OR, MORE ACCURATELY, DID HAVE A TINY BASIS THAT WAS GREATLY EXAGGERATED WITH A FEW STEPS SKIPPED IN BETWEEN. IT HAS DEFINITELY GOT ME BOTHERED

2021/11/27 12:28

OH GOD I FINALLY FINISHED THE WELL ONE AND THAT WAS FUCKED UP. THE EMOTIONS MADE NO GODDAMN SENSE TO ME. THE ENDING MADE NO GODDAMN SENSE TO ME. WHAT WAS THAT. BUT I'M GLAD TO BE DONE WITH IT. I AM NEVER READING IT AGAIN. EXCEPT MAYBE THE GOOD PARTS. AGH

2021/11/27 10:55

in hell, i can only hope i will correctly appear-

2021/11/27 10:54

could i be happy?

2021/11/27 10:54

could i be unrepentant could i be guiltless the reason as always is fear that is why i have not gone to the mountains that is why i am a traitor from the ricefields to the sewers

2021/11/27 10:51

how beautiful. i look at the pictures and i want to embrace history and heritage not my own. i want to leave, run away, and forget. to secure that for myself and never think about what i left behind. but it'd be kinda traitorous, wouldn't it? like burying my head in the sand, or plugging my ears, or averting my eyes. it's childish. selfish. but maybe if i'd been punished more in the key moments when it mattered, these kinds of thoughts would not occur. maybe then i would've happily left it all behind, maybe i would take off and i wouldn't look back. maybe i would even be happy there

2021/11/26 22:39

the brain worm anti is fucking terrifying sometimes. an artist just got hit by the exact things my brain worm expected and worried about looking at their work. i can only hope it doesn't stifle their spirit. i would hate for them to end up like me

common romance story pitfall: gives plenty of reasons for why A likes B but zero reasons for the reverse. i'm left thinking "how the hell does B not just think they're annoying/forgettable" especially if author goes through the trouble of making A really average. this can easily be solved by giving A a skill B admires them for, but they have no idea for any one of these reasons: a) perfectionist, b) passions lie elsewhere, c) insecurity. all three options give A something to work towards, too.

2021/11/15 16:11

i also think the utility monster thing is bullshit. if it existed, why should we believe it when it says it gets more utility than everyone else? utility and happiness are not quantifiable things, the best we can do is weigh relatively and put necessity/survival over petty pleasure when there is a choice between them. i'd be wary of anyone who'd say "but i can get more use out of these resources than all these other people/i deserve it more" because that's already what the rich tell us 😐

2021/11/15 16:08

"i'd feel terrible/dishonorable" yeah well i'd bet the 5 people would feel pretty good about getting to live another day

2021/11/15 16:07

for some reason i suddenly remembered how i used to bow to people all the time. mostly in apology. i'm not from a place where that's the norm, and i don't quite know how or where i picked it up, but yeah, that was a thing. weird

2021/11/14 21:52

should really stop overcharging but i don't know when i'll next lose power ok? they don't always announce it. and really how can they when it's often birds or some shit messing with the unholy tangled mess that is the electric configuration in this godforsaken neighborhood

2021/11/14 20:32

talking about myself to people who will say those things in response just feels worse

2021/11/14 20:23

first-worlder just told me it isn't normal not to feel safe or comfortable in one's own bed and the fact that mine causes me immense back pain should "be addressed." no shit. think you're smart for figuring that one out?

once again reading about my favorite country that doesn't exist anymore. i am okay

2021/11/12 10:16

ok mood plummet gone but now i can't write GRRRRRR

2021/11/12 02:01

i've never written anything good while i was happy

2021/11/12 01:54

i've fragmented so much from the impossible ideal of "one person to know all of me" that no person can ever know anything other than a highly fictionalized sliver only viewable through that aforementioned initial point of connection.

2021/11/12 01:52

the good hellsite has recently told me this compartmentalization is good, that i shouldn't expect one person to know and handle all of me. it sounds reasonable and i agree with it in a wide sense; after all, that's exactly how i live my life. i've never been caught in the folly of allo people trying to find one partner to know all of them. but i still can't shake the feeling that maybe i've veered too far off into the other direction and something is wrong.

2021/11/12 01:47

i wish i could be like those aro people who just have complete obliviousness to that which they are not capable of feeling. they navigate their lives as complete people and find fulfillment in their platonic and familial relationships. unlike them, i've always felt like i was missing something. maybe it's because i've never had a best friend either, and no real close friends in general. all my relationships are extremely compartmentalized and transient, just like the spaces i occupy. there is no person i could go to if i was simply having a bad day, for example, but a dozen or more people if i chose to filter those feelings and express them through my point of connection with each person. i don't get to mourn the loss of a friendship or space either, because each space and each friendship operates as if none of the others exist.

2021/11/12 01:36

2021/11/11 05:25

no idea how un/balanced a game would be with them either

2021/11/11 05:25

why are they called that? idk man it was a dream

2021/11/11 05:24

had a dream about a chess variant with two additional pieces, the vampire and the slime. the vampire is disguised as one of the 8 pawns and at the beginning of the game each player picks but doesn't reveal to the other where it is among their pawns. whichever piece captures the vampire gets turned into the opposite color. the slime, meanwhile, starts out moving one space in any diagonal direction, but upon capturing a piece, inherits its moveset. if it manages to capture multiple pieces, it inherits only the moveset of whichever piece it last captured. the slime may be placed anywhere among the 2nd and 7th ranks at the beginning of the game.

2021/11/11 02:19

what a fucking downer series of posts lol. anyway

2021/11/11 01:21

you love calling yourself an ally but you can never be one if you continue to lead these kinds of conversations. the only allyship you can ever achieve is handing over the reins

2021/11/11 01:20

it isn't like you ever listen to people like me anyway

2021/11/11 01:17

i'm above the fucking poverty line. it took me years but i fucking made it, okay? sure, i can't spend money on anything that isn't food/rent/water/electricity/internet, but electricity and internet themselves are luxuries. sure, i went from the ricefields to the sewers, but i'm still better off here. if i caught covid (highly unlikely if you've read the top of this page), i would just accept my death because i have no debt whatsoever and i would like to keep it that way. zero fucking debt - my parents couldn't even dream of that. my neighbors can't even dream of that. every time it floods here i just take it in stride because unlike my neighbors i don't have many possessions or appliances to lose and replace in the first place. i don't need your first-worlder condescension, or your platitudes. if you think i'm poor, you haven't seen poor. i'm not going to listen to you. i just speak here so i don't have to be rude to you.

2021/11/09 17:31

consumed by the sudden urge to write for the suite again. part 3 1/2 is tricky even though i've outlined it twice already. it's a piece that has several directions it can veer off too and i'm still not entirely sure how to approach it. one thing i'm sure of though is that it doesn't end well

2021/11/09 16:53

words that never fail to make me giggle: enjoyer, haver, liker

2021/11/09 00:36

they're so hard to write but if i read about them i just end up unable to focus bc i get overtaken with an even stronger desire to write them. life ruining /s

2021/11/09 00:35

my soul grows weary not being able to talk about them, so i'll just refer to them with glitz. that's reasonably vague

FDF 2's eldritch yukari with her lovecraftian spellcards remains superior! goddamn if that is not the most unbelievably gorgeous shmup i've EVER played

it was a rough read since the author isn't a native speaker but goddamn it i still think about no vacancy occasionally. the emotions are so potent. when i try to do that type of story elsewhere, i'm less inspired by the actual movie it is based on and more inspired by NV itself. i just love it a lot :(

2021/11/06 22:24

the only effective line the generic self-loathing voice has ever come up with is "what if she's right"

2021/11/06 22:23

a dark, twisted part of me sometimes misses my mom at her most forceful

2021/11/06 08:54

my emotions are never misunderstood over text

2021/11/06 08:53

i hate talking i hate talking I HATE TALKING. never make me speak, especially over the phone

2021/11/06 07:53

the price of tea doubled seemingly overnight. it was a few years ago but my brain will never move on from what i feel is the correct price of tea

2021/11/06 07:52

the part of my brain that can process values has no understanding of inflation whatsoever. everything should only be as expensive as i feel it should be

2021/11/06 02:29

pfft

2021/11/06 00:44

i don't like owning lots of objects it makes me nervous :<

2021/11/05 21:26

cont: korean's hard for me too. a friend (who is a native russian speaker) was hearing me struggle with korean names and said it was the transliteration that confused me. she said it was easier for her because the names sound closer to themselves when written in cyrillic, which was how she learned how to say them before she learned hangul. since i couldn't learn hangul in 5 minutes during a voice call, she did the next best thing and wrote out all the names i was having trouble with in katakana. helped instantly.

2021/11/05 07:09

implausible but i wanna speak every language i think is beautiful, even just a little

2021/11/05 07:07

reading spanish out loud is doable, being a native filipino speaker is a cheat for it. and i had NO problems with japanese pronounciation early on, even the 'r'!!!! but most german words in existence seem to be inaccessible for my mouth

2021/11/05 07:05

god i wish i could speak german without getting tongue tied 😔

2021/11/04 23:37

binging THEIR old group covers both because i'm more cultured now and actually know most of the songs + because i can better appreciate the original rap parts sugamon wrote for each. sigh... they just don't do this stuff anymore 😔

dionysus lives my beloved

2021/11/04 20:56

lately it's never pieces i undoubtedly love and gush over that make the most impact on me but the shit for which i have feelings so mixed i almost get dizzy just thinking about them. like the eyes one :')

2021/11/04 20:54

cont: i still follow you though because your art clears my skin, i just need to resist temptation and scroll as quickly as possible whenever you make a text post bc i know it's never anything good. for some unfathomable reason you follow me too and i don't like that

2021/11/04 18:14

the complete opposite being: your work disgusts me but i would love to be friends with you and support you in your craft for the rest of my life

2021/11/04 18:13

the holy trinity

2021/11/04 18:13

i love your music but i would die happy as long as i never meet you ever

2021/11/04 18:12

i love your writing but i would never have even a 30 second conversation with you

2021/11/04 18:11

i love your art i just hate reading absolutely anything you type

2021/11/04 15:45

horribly lonely

2021/11/04 03:13

liking something "bad" or "poor taste" will never be nearly as embarrassing as letting yourself be bullied out of liking it

2021/11/04 03:09

some commenters like this but as a reader i kinda don't

2021/11/04 03:09

also i keep reading back my past stuff and i'm allergic to narrating it seems. this is a problem. all my longer form stuff is basically written as scene after scene after scene like a movie in text form and nothing is ever explained, just talked about or done

2021/11/04 03:07

the hardest most annoying thing about plotting/writing long things is controlling the flow of information and keeping track of who knows what bc all my notes and worldbuilding are written in 3rd person omniscient and also i have to figure out when best to write in what so there is only ever the minimum necessary amount of info revealed and i want to tear my hair out

2021/11/03 18:12

to understand what kind of sucky chess player i am, all you need to know is that i once threw away an easy win and made it into a stalemate because i found it so much funnier to promote 4 pawns to queen and parade them around than to mate a lone king.

2021/11/02 09:23

sometimes my brain does a funny and while i'm scrolling through a feed made 100% of art and artists i love it will start a running narratiom detailing exactly how every single artist would have been harassed by the people who used to harass me

2021/11/01 11:32

2021/10/28 12:08

it knows about poison and traps. and i can't afford an exterminator. but it doesn't even matter because i keep my place as clean as it can possibly get but they all come from my neighbors anyway. like my next door neighbor sweeps out all cockroaches meaning they inevitably end up with me. it's maddening

2021/10/28 12:05

the fucking rat keeps taking my spoons

2021/10/27 20:25

NEW YERIN? COVER ALBUM?? 👀

2021/10/27 15:00

2021/10/27 02:21

IT'S DONE. IT'S POSTED. I FEEL EUPHORIC

2021/10/27 00:08

i've never pronounced the letter 'w' in my head as 'doubleyou' - that is 3 mental syllables and that is too much. whenever i mentally read an acronym that has a 'w' in it i pronounce it as either 'wa' 'wi' or 'wu' depending on the surrounding letters.

2021/10/26 22:32

both love and hate how people talking about twitter sometimes abbreviate it to tw which is the same as tw as in trigger warning. it's fitting but inconvenient for filtering

2021/10/26 21:50

since this is someone's gift i want to have it posted as soon as possible

2021/10/26 21:50

i got some really good feedback on it too! now to fight the add again and do some effective editing

2021/10/26 21:07

i think i need to replace my detergent, it smells like candy to me now???

2021/10/26 16:08

I FINISHED IT!!! FUCK YOU WET CEMENT

2021/10/26 02:26

WET CEMENT

2021/10/26 02:25

it's like that wading through wet cement comparison but in my case i've been wading through it for most of my life, briefly got meds and found out what it was like to walk without the wet cement, then ran out and went back to the wet cement but it's so much more agonizing bc now i KNOW what it's like without the goddamn fucking wet cement

2021/10/26 02:23

if i don't get these goddamn fucking words out i am getting some goddamn fucking medication again. i can't live like this anymore

2021/10/25 17:30

then i could put snow xda caps on them!!!

2021/10/25 17:29

it'll take some work but i bet i could make box whites sound great on an acrylic sandwich like the mw65

2021/10/24 17:22

as far as low profile switches go, choc navies are... acceptable

2021/10/24 13:02

tangies are SUPER marbley on the mw65 with the popular mods. what are people doing. do they really like that?

2021/10/24 02:14

2021/10/24 02:13

THE EYES ONE WAS EVEN WORSE. 'TEMPORARY DELUSION' AS I PUT IT

2021/10/23 11:35

it ended well but still kind of depressed me

2021/10/23 01:41

well, i finished it. the cross one. i wasn't ready on my first read, but now i finally finished it. i feel... well, i feel.

2021/10/22 21:24

the mw65 is a comparable listing but i like the sound profile of the tm680 better

2021/10/22 21:23

well it's either that or some feker holy pandas but the lavenders are cheaper

2021/10/22 21:22

(looking at rare good tm680 lazada listing) i would treat you so well... i would tune akko cs lavenders to put inside you and they won't sound marbley at all... i'd even get some good stabs....

2021/10/22 17:15

my god, maybe i'm an actual person?

JUST WANNA TRAVEL BRIEFLY, TO 5 YEARS AGO, SPEND A BIT OF TIME WITH COMPATRIOTS BACK WHEN MY VERY VERY SPECIFIC INTEREST HAD A MICRO-COMMUNITY AROUND IT. JUST FOR LIKE A MONTH OR SOMETHING.

2021/10/22 02:09

i hate mood swings. let me cry at least

2021/10/22 02:07

leave me the fuck alone

2021/10/22 02:07

no. just leave me alone. leave me alone leave me alone leave me alone

2021/10/22 01:37

people often say it's hard to express the full intensity of their emotions through text but i've always felt the opposite. caps lock can make me seem quite angry, something i can't manage in real life. an emoji can make me seem like i'm crying, when i can't do that either

2021/10/22 01:36

or get angry, i want to get angry too

2021/10/22 01:35

please let me cry

2021/10/22 01:35

wanna cry. can i cry?

2021/10/22 01:17

i realize it's childish, averting my eyes

2021/10/22 01:17

unrepentant... could i be unrepentant? could i be guiltless?

2021/10/22 01:06

i hate living alone

2021/10/22 01:05

it hurts

2021/10/21 23:57

"they're not progressive groups; they're regressive because they're terrorists" nice FUCKING going 🙂

2021/10/21 20:40

eating half a papaya. feel better

2021/10/21 19:54

being alone for so long weathers the soul, it really does

2021/10/21 19:38

is it gonna be my desire to write again that ultimately makes me visit my psychiatrist after almost 2 years of silence?

2021/10/21 19:37

I JUST WISH THE WORDS WOULD FLOW AGAIN!!!!!

2021/10/21 19:37

Y'KNOW WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THE MEDS OTHER THAN HOW THEY STABILIZED MY MOOD? THEY GOT RID OF LIKE A SOLID 70% OF MY INHIBITIONS. I FELT NORMAL. THE WORDS FLOWED

2021/10/21 19:29

me, struggling with 2000 words now: how the FUCK did i once manage to write 50k+ in half a year

2021/10/17 20:57

i have multiple sources of chest and back pain how am i supposed to know what this is 😭

2021/10/17 20:57

was having some doubts so i looked up whether anemic people can even get heart attacks and apparently we're way more likely to get one? either way though i don't think this is one

2021/10/17 20:37

either way i'm shaking ://

2021/10/17 20:37

intense mood plummet*

2021/10/17 20:37

is this a panic attack or just a particularly intensw mood plumnet? i can't tell

2021/10/17 18:46

to clarify: my taste is MUCH lamer

2021/10/17 14:57

you ever just listen to a song and KNOW there are gonna be at least a dozen 15k m rated oneshots titled with a lyric from it? that is the opposite of my music taste

2021/10/17 12:06

if my ridiculous anon handle makes u laugh i treat that as a success <3

2021/10/17 03:26

I GOT HALF OF IT OUT

2021/10/16 23:29

JUST. GET. THE. GODDAMN. WORDS. OUT

2021/10/16 09:36

i'm too wordy :<

2021/10/16 05:33

artists are really just out there drawing. i love them so much

2021/10/16 02:30

yeah...

2021/10/16 01:36

i'm so happy that there are so many talented artists in this world because for every niche or a niche of a niche there's always at least one source of mindblowing art to be enjoyed by people who are into that, and hopefully shower the artist with love and appreciation

2021/10/15 23:25

i'm somehow always bleeding from somewhere (mostly cuticles or back). should be red.thoughts.page :p

2021/10/15 22:32

2021/10/15 20:25

yeah this is what happens after being 2 years off the meds that were the only thing making my mood consistent but i can't afford them and i'm terrified of making regular trips to my psychiatrist anyway so 🤷‍♂️

2021/10/15 17:04

FEAR: my apartment floods every time it rains, and i've learned how to carry my fridge without my back hurting extra for a week (and instead just hurting extra for 3 days), but i still obediently pay rent every month because prices have plummeted, with what i would have been paying having been paid for in blood by every drug user/dealer/innocent bystander shot during tokhang down the street or the next street over or right next door. and i STILL for a FACT live in relative luxury because i'm not my neighbors who have three kids and i am ABOVE the fucking poverty line. that still means success right? i crawled out of the hole i was born in and i am ABOVE the FUCKING line now. i even have internet at home, i might as well be rich. i have running water at home (except when it rains) for fuck's sake!!! that's an improvement. but these can all be taken away, i could always go back to how it was before. and so i have not gone into the mountains. and so i am a traitor.

2021/10/15 16:54

i don't have a passport (because the biggest journey i've ever made was go from hometown rice fields to city sewers). i don't have a driver's license (despite trying and failing multiple times to get one so i probably never will). i don't have a firearm license (they say it's because of "a history of depression and anxiety" but i know it's also partly because of having joined leftists orgs when i was in college). i'm not qualified for my job (because i couldn't put myself through college anyway, you were right mom, and the only reason they haven't fired me for this long is because i've never acted out). internet is the most luxurious thing i pay for (other than electricity). and the only reason i haven't gone into the mountains after reading a hundred PDFs is my anemia and back problems- no, that's a lie. the real reason, as always, is fear.

oh, you want to build a labor coalition? you want her to endorse labor leaders and the softest demsocs as opposed to the hardest socdems for her senate picks? you think you have some healthy pickings? you're acting as if she isn't going to hand over economic reins to the liberals as soon as she's elected? you're going to take any minuscule scrap of revolutionary momentum and reset the counter six years again? you're gonna endorse the billionaire-supported version of ubi? you have things to fall back on if you happen to get fired? i envy you. i envy you in silence and i don't speak to you because why would you listen to some terrified genderfucked anemic who can't even leave his apartment most days? why would you listen to me whinge and whine when come election day, i will still vote in whatever way keeps out of power the allies of the man who fucked my neighborhood with tokhang?

2021/10/15 13:59

splash of cold water to remind the progressives which side our girl is really on when she intends to endorse 1 candidate at most to "represent the marginalized"

2021/10/15 13:47

me: i just think that now more than ever, it's important to consider-

pathologist: are you reading about ----s again?

me: i am reading about ----s again

2021/10/15 12:50

there's WPM and there's WPM while relaxed which i think is the more relevant measurement at the end of the day because even if i just got 120 that was with me pounding on the keys and not really an accurate representation of me typing in most other contexts. my relaxed WPM, on the other hand, has raised significantly from about 40-90 in the past few weeks since i started training to speed it up and i'm happy about that :) though the ultimate goal is getting a relaxed WPM of 100.

2021/10/15 12:38

i just think the whole mindset behind "hold on i need to look something up... yeah this is funny" is a wonderful thing to be normalized

2021/10/14 22:51

idk why but the increasingly/decreasingly verbose meme never fails to make me laugh like:

big if true

large if confirmed

humongous if authentic

2021/10/14 21:25

this includes my "childish" lapslock!!

2021/10/14 21:25

back in 2016-2018 i was so obsessed with having truly grown up, i promise, for real this time, and aggressively burying all interests which did not reflect that mindset. all things "icky" and "cringe." but now in the year of our lord 2021 i have finally recognized that growing up is actually becoming relatively chill about those things and no longer stuffing away parts of myself to feel "cool"!

2021/10/14 21:22

YES! IN 2021!!

not that they already exist and are trapped. instead i think, and my experiences and conversations have proven this, they will materialize unbidden when they recognize that they have an open door to leave through

cont: and in some ways, those emails were the only record of my existence at that time and proof of the things i spent time doing. i don't like getting pictures taken of me either (surprise surprise it's partly because of dysphoria) so i barely have anything. i skipped as many school picture days as i could get away with, and volunteered to be the picture-taker in every setting and every event to avoid having to be in the picture. i once accidentally slapped a classmate in the face when they tried to take a surprise duo selfie with me. nothing with my government name on it is even online. if ever i get into some kind of accident and forget who i am, i would have nothing to remind me.

2021/10/12 13:42

maybe the reason i still hold out hope of my dad accepting me if i came out to him is because back when i was a kid i distinctly remember attending family reunions dressed in male cousins' hand-me-down clothes and my mom would always be annoyed about, saying she didn't like me being seen like that, how i should dress more femininely, etc. but my dad would reassure me about it and even say "how handsome."

a general concept i've always been drawn to whenever i see it is "the unreasonable has become the mundane" like you know those jokes about how fic authors will update under any circumstances, memes about youtubers cheerfully telling their audience to like and subscribe because in today's video they will be killing god, the whole subgenre/aesthetic/? of "slice of eldritch" (which is slice of life mashed up with horror or otherwise fantastical imagery). i can't pinpoint what i'm feeling when i see content of this, but sure as hell am Feeling.

to me, a lot of people's hot takes and observations, especially about fandom, sound exactly like this:

the sky is dark today, and for some reason people seem to be convinced it's going to rain *water.* however, it could just as easily rain fire! a lot of them carry umbrellas around, but those will be *completely useless* if it happens to rain fire instead of water like they expect. these freaks are deluding themselves.

i just love the dialogue in touhou games so much. for example, the "how much bread have you eaten in your life?" meme was originally a jojo quote, but the way it was referenced in EOSD just goes the extra step:

MARISA: how many people's blood have you sucked up until now?

REMILIA: do you remember how many slices of bread you've eaten in your life?

MARISA: thirteen. i prefer japanese food.

not to mention marisa's line ripping on vampires slightly before that:

you're one of those, right? can't stand sunlight or smelly vegetables, or silver things. the masters of the night, which for some reason have tons of weaknesses...

little nuggets of gold in between intense sessions of getting blasted to kingdom come, that's why i love this series.

NO ONE can stay genuinely grassroots and be carried all the way through nationals. that shit doesn't happen. those are the limits of liberal democracy. if they want their name peddled to the masses they pick a cultural talking point, snip out the spicy stuff from their platform, and be as gently socdem as possible economically... only then will the money flow in. my girl cannot run a campaign solely on hating the current admin as bad as it is, especially while sending a 'fuck you' to the party that carried her to vp in the first place

as you can imagine, the entire mindset surrounding that previous thought is poison for any sort of creativity, especially when you've internalized that harassment into a part of you to the point that you're more afraid of what your own mind tells you than actual harassment. every time i sit down and try to write i have to condition myself again just to feel "allowed" to do my favorite hobby. it's stupid and wild.

2021/10/07 00:56

(delayed cont)

bizarre experiences related to the above (1/?): since i've been burned so many times before, i'm extremely careful on social media now. as in, diligently reading people's abouts/carrds/whatever for BYFs, DNIs etc. etc. if i so much as like or reshare one (1) single post from them. and the thing is, if an item from their DNI applies to me or the general vibe i get from their self-introductions is anti-ish, i'd just block to save myself from future trouble. it's not about me having trouble with the individual, but about them potentially having trouble with me.

so you can just imagine how awkward it was when i had to explain to someone that i befriended on another platform how i'd unknowingly had them blocked in my platform of choice since a long time ago, and that was why they had a hiccup in trying to reach out to me. how could i say i misinterpreted their about because i was so paranoid about being a target of coordinated harassment again?

2021/10/05 08:55

well. in light of the outages, i guess i won't have work today

2021/10/05 01:06

now i only have to worry about looking the part so people in real life assume what i want them to assume, which is way harder :')

2021/10/05 01:05

also, being able to straight up say what i am has freed me from that whole silly dance about "giving off the right vibes so people assume what i want them to assume."

2021/10/05 01:05

ironically, i used the label 'non-binary' for YEARS to avoid thinking about gender. "what's my gender? don't worry about it. (i don't wan to think about it.) how should you refer to me? however you want. (but DEAR GOD i had better given off enough of the right vibes for you to assume i'm a guy.)" when asked, i always made sure to tell people "any pronouns are fine!" my logic for this was: my native language doesn't have gendered pronouns, only gendered titles, so it shouldn't be a big deal. at the back of my mind, though, i always knew one set in english was deeply uncomfortable and wrong. i just didn't get to picking apart the reason why until much later.

2021/10/04 12:29

the pathologist in my head is way more effective than any generic self-loathing voice could ever be. when i get really ignored, for example, a generic self-loathing voice would say "they hate you they hate you they hate you" which is an assertion open to question. the pathologist, meanwhile, is always at least one step ahead of that, and would instead say "why are you so self-centered that you believe they think often enough and feel strongly enough about you to hate you? why do you think you deserve their attention in the first place? can you pinpoint when in your past you went wrong and set on the path to becoming like this?"

if the generic self-loathing voice was all i had, no pathologist, then i wouldn't be depressed—because it's so dumb and robotic and predictable. it only has the same few variations of "everyone hates you" as its answer to everything. it can easily be refuted with "no they don't" or "shut up you said that already."

but there's no easy comeback to the pathologist, who frames its assertions as premises so true and obvious they are used to prompt me into thinking on ITS terms. with the generic self-loathing voice, i know it's blowing a miniscule thing out of proportion. with the pathologist, everything feels like it all ties together as manifestations of what's really wrong with me deep down inside.

i'm at a loss... bb pilipinas 2021 winner is a PERFECT "girlboss" archetype. she even served in the navy......

2021/10/03 17:52

the liberal opposition is so weak it's sad. vp running for president isn't even a sure thing - she was pretty much forced to run for vp due to that whole thing with her husband and the party subsequently strong-arming her to take advantage of the wave of public support. and once elected, she spent most of her term fending off the president's supporters who hated her, fending off those cheating allegations, and being undermined by the cabinet and most everyone else. that gives her so little momentum, and it's just pathetic to watch it all play out. i keep wondering what the old rich backing lp are doing; they have the money and they've gotten the candidates they've wanted for so long, but they're just floundering now.

even if vp runs and wins (big if), she's just gonna be another cory. she'll act the part with mostly good intentions, while shit gets privatized and regulations loosen in the background, because at the end of the day, the liberal party is the liberal party.

2021/10/03 17:42

knowing him, he still might change his mind about the vice president thing. i want to be a teeny bit relieved he's not running, but he's gone back on his word before and still has plenty of time to change his mind. it might all be a publicity play; he did that exact same thing for his presidential campaign. not to even mention how we still have to contend with his daughter :///

2021/10/02 23:01

be proud of me, today i decided i'm NOT gonna give myself RSI

2021/10/02 12:08

also my parents are old so for most of my life i was the strong one in the house who carried boxes or full laundry baskets or water jugs or garbage bags. i remember feeling ecstatic every time i helped my dad with something and he praised me, saying how strong his child was. i loved that. i also loved doing the stereotipical father-son activities with him even though it wasn't that often. teaching me to repair and clean my bike, teaching me how to fix things around the house, stuff like that. and to a lot of people those are probably completely gender neutral things but to young me they were a big deal

2021/10/02 12:02

i didn't even have bad dysphoria as a kid. i lived pretty much genderlessly back then. subsisted on hand-me-down clothes from my many many many male cousins, short hair, unisex nickname, free to play however i wanted. it's just puberty that ruined all that

inconvenient things about anxiety (1/?): no idea if the last time i went to the dentist and tried and failed to have a tooth removed was because of a panic attack or an allergic reaction to the type of anesthesia used. went well this time though and the dentist was unnerved by how i had zero reaction to the injections and pain in general

2021/10/01 18:23

grrr i ALWAYS have trouble with IDs because i have neither a driver's license nor passport and philsys is taking too fucking long. like if they were gonna have an ID picker why not include all the most common IDs? comelec or BIR should BE THERE

2021/09/29 10:15

i didn't even enjoy that overall since the point was so clearly to make fun of the girl and i found it a bit mean-spirited but just. that one scene.

2021/09/29 10:06

why does that one old movie about this wife who could only cook fried eggs and had this scene where a supportive friend taught her to make ginisang monggo to surprise her husband and she did everything as instructed but due to the wording it didn't occur to her that she had to wait for the monggo to cook and therefore soften so when she served it to the three other people they all crunched on the raw monggo at the exact same time just. live in my head

2021/09/29 03:43

remember that time i spent an hour cleaning out all the SFX from a page only to realize i didn't know what half of them meant so i just ended up keeping them all because translating half would just look ugly?

2021/09/28 23:45

solved: english does not have a word for it. multiple words are needed. this is gonna be hell to typeset

2021/09/28 23:42

@ manga i'm translating: I KNOW WHAT THIS WORD IS IN TAGALOG. THERE IS AN EXACT WORD FOR IT AND I KNOW IT. BUT I NEED THE ENGLISH WORD FOR IT AND NO MATTER WHAT TOOL I USE I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT

after trying and failing many times to perfect a chart using my strongest, most optimized cards, i randomly beat it using a mediocre, un-optimized set while i was just messing around. not funny, game :|

one of them somehow became a collaborator for my next translation project too <3

re: creators ended up landing more on the mediocre side but i still occasionally think about the implications of mamika as a character

2021/09/27 14:47

last thought just looks like petty senseless whining but twitter would take that so seriously. i can only say that here

2021/09/27 14:44

just for the record i didn't even want that coldplay collab. i never wanted a coldplay collab. i was okay with their last cover since it was just them even though i could not care less for the original song. there's 3 months left in 2021 and all they've released are english tracks. not a word about an album or even ep (presumably to the relief of everyone else competing in mama), but i'm not even complaining about how long it's taking. i would honestly prefer they release nothing this year rather than an english-only album/ep. nj promised, he PROMISED they wouldn't cave to the pressure, and for the past almost 4 years they have kept that promise but now i'm getting worried. i don't want more western collabs, i don't want an english album, but it seems they've simply outgrown me as an audience member.

i see. if that was the intent, tech-wise, then it makes perfect sense for everything to be in a single page. i was thinking in terms of blogs, but i quickly realized how complicated that can get.

2021/09/26 22:45

reading through some scanner's old tumblr blog to try and find their retranslation policy and i'm close to sobbing at all the nice asks and anons the owner used to get because the language and attitude and pure, free-spirited fandom fun all feel like they're from a completely different area. social media, at least the tiny portion of it i've experienced, has become a battleground. everyone has become so cautious, or combative if they've been burned before

on one hand, quarantine has cured my alcohol problem and i haven't had a drop for 1 3/4 years but on the other hand, i haven't gotten my prescriptions for just as long which means no meds at all which means mood swings have had free reign 24/7

2021/09/25 04:31

just remembered i'll have to make a phone call today... ugh. i hate phone calls. voice calls in general suck with very few exceptions. i hate only being perceived through my voice. it's the one part of me that is the most misaligned. i can't lower it. i can't do anything to it unless i commit to the whole process, which is scary and expensive.

nothing will ever top the experience of hearing perfect cherry blossom's soundtrack for the first time </3 wish i could wipe my memories of that game and play for the first time again but i'd probably die a lot since i'd lose the patterns i memorized :p

2021/09/24 18:25

teddy park is a native level english speaker and his most frequent collaborators are also either native level or native speakers so i KNOW they can do better but the lyrics that get made for the girls always sound like strangely worded parodies of us pop-rap. especially the rap verses, those are like a fill-in-the-blanks grabbing from a word list generalized from chart-toppers of the past 5 years or so. it's hard to describe but these lyrics always put me off.

re: fastidious:

oops. i know barely anything of html/css so i'm not entirely sure what that refers to? shifted some values but things don't look any different to me. i'm almost always on mobile though, so there could be something i'm not seeing.

2021/09/23 23:48

i just want to reach through the screen and type on people's keyboards in sound tests. maybe this is the signal for me to go to my local mall tech store complex again lol. but i don't wanna be a public health hazard so i'll need to wait for restrictions to officially relax. i'm vaccinated, but that doesn't mean i can't spread it apparently so better be on the safe side

2021/09/23 23:45

i LIKE the scratchy switches. i don't wanna lube their scratchiness away. this is why i like cherry reds, ESPECIALLY cherry silent reds since little sound remains but the scratch. i like the feel of some scratch too. i don't want that overlubed smoothness. there's something satisfying in the unrefined sound of a stock switch like silent reds. it's for this reason that silent blacks aren't as good, in my opinion

2021/09/23 23:42

solitude right now is my biggest comfort. solitude forever is my biggest fear.

2021/09/23 16:55

i've had so many names across the years and i still have never settled on one long term. but now that legally changing is finally on the table for me i think i have to meditate on this a while longer

2021/09/23 16:54

one of the first things i did when i was still new to the internet was pick a name that sounded more like me. something neutral because back then i was still afraid to pick something masculine. but now i want something unmistakably masculine, something that registers as quick as a snap of a finger in people's minds and doesn't give them space to doubt

2021/09/23 16:52

am i allowed to double up? triple up? some people have three names right? but since my surname and middle name are both long that'll just be a documentation nightmare. i can imagine making so many people's spreadsheets look ugly. i can imagine that thing happening where the spreadsheet cell cuts off part of the text in it and if someone's in a hurry they'd never even know a word was missing and i can already the inconsistent documents giving me trouble when i have to verify my identity somehow. one name it is. so hard to pick though

2021/09/23 16:50

sounding out different names, all with significance, unable to pick a favorite :<

happy to say that recently i've been on the path to regaining the typing speed i had in my teenage years! i think i peaked at ~110 wpm back then, but for the past few years i've only been averaging at 70-80. today, though, it seems i've climbed to the 90-95 range :D i still have yet to learn touch typing though :p i don't really look at the keys but i mostly use my index fingers still lol

2021/09/22 11:57

re: rodeoflagellum's question about themes and fonts:

as someone with moderate nearsightedness and astigmatism, i can tell you that light-colored serif fonts on really dark backgrounds are noticeably blurrier for me at first glance, and i have to take a moment to really look at the text to know what it's saying. using a near approximation of black (#080808 or #111111) as opposed to a pure black background (#000000) usually helps with this, as does increasing your body text size. however, for dark text on a light background, #000000 is better.

if you're interested in webpage accessibility in general (which you seem to be), the w3c a pretty good resource about contrast here. i hope you find it helpful. they also point you to a tool for testing different foreground/background combinations to see if they may be inaccessible for some - very useful for web designers.

personally, and i can't speak for anyone else, i find monospace fonts the easiest to read and that's why i chose to use them in my own thoughts.page theme. my process for deciding how to style this page was mainly looking between my phone and laptop to see if it looks good on both since i use this site on my phone a lot. the colors, on the other hand, are purely an aesthetic choice - copying the keycaps of a mechanical keyboard i like very much :)

2021/09/22 11:26

i'm never buying a keychron. with them it's always one little tradeoff after another until i've accumulated a pile of dealbreakers

2021/09/22 11:15

oh never mind, that was the case a few days ago but now it's back. good to know i can obsessively tweak things 200 times again :)

2021/09/22 11:14

for some reason, thoughts.page is not letting me edit my index.theme anymore :/

the joy of recognizing an artist whose art style you know from one platform, in another platform <3

2021/09/20 14:27

it's amazing how much freer and safer i feel in places like this site and pixiv. so basically, places where i either get no engagement OR english isn't the dominant language. i can say what i want and express my love for things without worry of being targeted or anything nasty like that. it's such a pleasant experience to be left alone. japanese fandom in general has been very nice to me

2021/09/19 12:22

why yes indeed, the color scheme of this page is meant to copy a certain keycap set i love very much <3

2021/09/19 12:19

i'll never forget the first time i got to try buckling springs. they're still the standard

2021/09/18 19:41

OBSESSED with this one reporter's tone on the news tonight. the way she said "a recent study has shown face shields have some effect in lowering transmission rates" was so disappointed it sounded more like "to our dismay, there's some evidence that face shields help"

2021/09/17 20:40

i'd rather tread on the side of not enough foam than too much. sucks out all personality from a board

2021/09/17 20:39

don't like o-rings either in most cases

2021/09/17 18:43

if i was REALLY being honest, and did not have to worry about how long it would take to lube + film switches, my ideal layout would be a 96% compact with the numpad on the left. if someone, anyone, made a keyboard like that it would be a dream come true

2021/09/17 18:41

what i really mean is... i want muse red and pale pink and aqours blue and white keycaps. with the modifiers having the girls' faces on them. and maybe the space could be a group photo. photos would of course have to be taken from LLSIF cards. i want the tackiest anime girl keyboard but i would still think it's the classiest

2021/09/17 18:34

the prices for custom keycaps are honestly ridiculous. i wish there was some kind of standard for modding your keycaps after getting them. stickers? and don't even get me started on artisan keycaps. expensive, inaccessible, doesn't ship to my region and if they did the shipping prices would be MORE THAN THE PRICE OF THE THING. madness

2021/09/17 18:28

do not understand the appeal of coiled cables. i hate them for my headphones and i hate them for my keyboard. i hate them everywhere. i WILL heat up the wires to straighten one out, every single time. braided cables on the other hand should be the standard by now

2021/09/17 18:22

the last time i loved something, was truly head over heels invested and inspired to gush and share and create my own things, i had a dream that probably lasted a few minutes in real time but to me felt like many many many long hours. what i dreamed up was a detailed youtube-style documentary, hosted by myself, in which i went into excruciating detail about everything wrong with that thing i loved. all the knowledge i had accrued over the course of this past several-months-long hyperfixation --- spit back in my face and used to prove that i was disgusting and irredeemable for daring to regard that thing with anything other than disgust and condemnation.

i think that's the reason why i don't really care about what other people say. the obsession around other people being my "haters" doesn't much make sense to me because there is nothing they could ever EVER say that would match the sheer in depth, methodical vitriol that only my own dreams could muster. insults from others don't mean much because they can't even fathom the extent of what i know is wrong with me. what only i can know is wrong with me.

so i'm a little more cautious about loving things now. not because i fear what other people might think. no, it's because i sometimes live in fear of having a dream like that again.

2021/09/17 18:10

i'm so good at compartmentalizing that each online space i occupy displays an irreconcilably different fragment of myself compared to every other space. and in each space, i act as if every other space doesn't exist, always a different identity. look at this page, everything's about keyboards. i seem like a whole person with consistent interests and concerns, don't i? but sometimes something slips through the cracks and i wonder if this is healthy.

2021/09/17 17:25

against my better judgment i keep watching sound test and in this one video i just... please... no matter where you are i will personally come to your house and clean your keyboard. box jades do not deserve to be treated like that

2021/09/16 23:53

the pursuit of thinness is never worth it

2021/09/16 23:51

i will never understand the appeal of low profile switches. you escaped laptop keyboards, you got out of that cage. WHY would you want to recreate it

2021/09/16 23:37

zero flex is the way, i don't care

2021/09/16 22:49

to truly stress this point once and for all- i would take stock gat yellows over the very specific fuck-up of making them marble-y via tuning. i would take stock nk creams at their scratchiest over a marble-y configuration. and the "spray paint can" holy pandas... are on thin fucking ice (except the spacebar, i love that spacebar)

2021/09/16 22:44

just remembered this but- s76 offering the launch keyboard with box jades as the default switch is the epitome of taste. if only it wasn't horribly expensive

2021/09/16 22:41

one time i got REALLY lucky and caught a niz plum 68 at a mall tech store for some reason. to this day i still have no idea how they got one of those and why in god's name they were displayed half a shelf away from r*zers. i got to try typing on them and while i'm iffy on the sound (especially the spacebar, always with the spacebar), they felt wonderful. i ended up not buying them because i didn't have the money at the time, but man do i think about that day a lot. especially now that i'm in a less tight spot financially, but when i check online, this board is nowhere to be found in any store that ships for reasonable prices in my region.

2021/09/16 22:35

second to last post was mostly a joke... it is honestly an achievement to be able to make gat milky yellows sound marble-y. (that is why i like them so much in the first place!) yet some people still manage the near implausible and ruin one of the best value linears out there. sigh

2021/09/16 22:32

the worst thing about having online shopping be the only option is i CANNOT know how thick [clones of popular expensive keycaps sets] are. and the ONE THING these keycap set clone makers most often skimp on is thickness, which is the only thing i'm after

2021/09/16 22:29

gat milky yellows my beloved... i won't lube you the same way a lot of highly opinionated redditors and youtubers do... i won't make you sound marble-y at all... i will make you sound perfect... come here i'll treat you how you deserve to be treated

2021/09/16 22:27

i'm actually not into the empty space on full size boards, tkl boards and even 75% boards like the gmmk pro (though i have to admit the gmmk pro does this better than most others). some 65% do this too which is just like why... the entire point is to be compact, those gaps to separate some keys are just ugly

2021/09/16 22:21

fantasizing i could afford to build a foamless tofu 65 with momoka frog switches, genuine durock stabs, and those dye sub xda matcha keycaps (the version with the hiragana legends of course). frogs actually seem pretty nice stock and are one of the few linears i like but i'd put a thinner lube if i had the patience for it

2021/09/16 20:18

OH diamond linears are another marble-y one in a lot of configurations i've heard. however, there have also been a couple where they didn't sound like that at all and i actually liked the sound

2021/09/16 20:14

no matter how many sound tests i listen to, i cannot see the appeal of zykos and a lot of its "clones." they have this almost marble-y sound that i can't stand, especially at the start of the upstroke. there's this brief high pitched fragment of sound that's similar to what you get by knocking two marbles together. i've always hated that sound when playing marbles as a kid. the board and keycaps probably play a larger role, and indeed i've heard some linears that sound like this as well, but the worst offenders were configurations with zykos, holy pandas, and akko CS switches.

2021/09/16 18:11

i realized this mech thing might be getting out of hand when i was changing a lot of my WM shortcuts to stop depending on the function keys so that i could feasibly use a 65%

2021/09/16 18:08

why is it always the switches i don't like the feel of that have the best sounding spacebars 😭

2021/09/16 17:24

the tofu really is made to make linears in low profile keycaps pop, especially if you go all out with the dampening. if you expended the money, time, and effort to make heavy tactiles in high profile caps sound good on a tofu, i admire your dedication and will — but i feel like this board tolerates tactiles at best. the linear people are so lucky.

2021/09/16 17:08

clicky SA spacebars never sound good, which pains me because i love clickies and SA is my preferred profile

2021/09/16 17:04

i go to mechanical keyboard youtube

i reassure people about their switch choices, but criticize their spacebars

i leave

that's all, folks!
