trans girls about once every two weeks

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

"why don't you just buy a new bra?"

Six seasons of this, fine, whatever. But how about more than *one* season of WataOshi, MagiRevo, Yuri Is My Job, and about a dozen other great series?

Loot drops after defeating me: Common: a Coke Zero (that replenishes 50MP) Uncommon: some yuri manga (5% to be in Japanese) Legendary: video game controller (of random generation) Epic: 8TB NAS hard drive (packed with stories)

Loot drops after defeating me: - a PS5 controller - four copies of Wataoshi LN5 (languages selected at random) - a USA Trains G-scale GP30 (roadname selected at random)

Octopath Traveler 2 isn't not a Pokemon game, especially with Ochette as a main she has natural type coverage on Sword, Spear, Axe, and Bow, so ideally I would find a monster that does Double Bonk (All) (Staff) to give her complete type coverage, but this is a pretty broad toolkit that's maybe food

I would very much like to get to the bottom of whatever hash algorithm BlueSky is using that recognizes this video file and reuses the vtts that I uploaded the first time I posted the clip mostly because for all BlueSky talks about accessibility, the video accessibility stuff is a nightmare

Kishika would say "yes" but that is because she is too restrictive about her own desires and unable to accept the validity of the strength of her reactions to such affection I would say rather that it is unbecoming a Knight /not/ to nuzzle the hand lavishing such love upon the one bearing Her favor

Relaire also visited the yuri cafe with me today!

got to show oomf ILTV a couple days ago and when they referred to raeclaire as “unstoppable force vs immovable object” i had to explain that no, the object is quite movable, with built-in wheels and handles for easy transportation

date night

it's a little wild to be watching May I Ask For One Final Thing and reflect back "ah, yes, this reminds me of my very contentious years as a thirty-something" there were some lovely legal melees; oh, the stories I could tell, so many of them true

"We are adaptable creatures. Any environment, no matter how horrific, can be made ordinary." this is why Square-Enix stayed in the video games business, having observed how this kind of commentary can play out in cinema with Spirits Within (critiquing the US military in July 2001 went over poorly)

I don’t know any communities that are horny for being locked in a muzzle, she lied

*blasts you with my good girl laser beam and permanently transforms you into a good girl* *you don't feel any different and don't perceivably change in any way*

I love how Octopath Traveler II doesn't really have a "correct solution" to the job system the way the first game did with the restriction that jobs couldn't be shared just throwing Inventor into the mix early already shakes things up; multiple base job licenses make it all the more flexible

the feeling of doing one's WaniKani lessons and learning yet another pun in a name of a character in 100 Girlfriends ("Suu" can be 数 / 'count', apt for a character who is in romantic love with numbers)

Most cartoonists aren't Rembrandt, but they become the voices of generations bc they are able to pinpoint, with painful accuracy, something no one else had the words to say. That's where the quality of their art comes from. A great artist is a great observer. The skillset is secondary.

The quality of art is not the quality of the art; if it were, art would begin and end w/photorealism. The quality of art is in the quality of the artist's observations. Some of the greatest novels have workmanlike prose; they are carried by jaw-dropping truths about human life. Or take cartooning--

btw these are the summer fits (Therese hadn't drawn for at the time sadly)

if ffxiv doesn't give me more fat women I'll fucking make them fat myself

mechsplo is all just fanfic of a video game called *checks notes* Octopath Traveler II yeah, that sounds right

Nora’s wedding dress concepts for her marriage with Lie Ren 🌸💚 Comm for CodyMacArthurFett (2023) Both designs include their colors, lotus/heart details, and dragon embroidery. One is qipao-inspired, and the other is a classic hanfu with a wedding headdress! #rwby #rwbyfanart #noravalkyrie #renora

the sacred text

I didn't think I'd get to use this clip but here we are, and it is in fact DCAU canon that Batman hates fascists and finds this sort of thing morally reprehensible it is in fact the source of his lingering animosity towards Clark

... and also a pun on her low voice, a thing that I was drilling on in WaniKani recently the "Mishiro" part is the pun on "a little bit longer" Kogoe is also literally "whisper," I sometimes forget the rendaku on "koe" for the "voice" part and get it wrong... probably less now that it's a name

note to self: include background sapphism of Nano and Mimimi to one or two of the rooftop scenes they have just eaten tremendously spicy food and Nano wants Mimimi's memories of the experience to be beautiful, because that's Mimimi's thing, while Mimimi is trying not to melt from the caring gesture

you know, I'm aware that the girlfriend-introduction chapters often have a lot of dialogue, and I said "I'm gonna go for it anyway" and I'm glad I did so that I know that I can write about Hakari getting between Kishika and Hahari in the most literal fashion possible Hahari is absolutely a gremlin

words I didn't know existed before today "yamaonna" - mountain witch *looks at the mountain she lives in* huh

there is something tremendously apt about the part of the chapter that slows me down is hitting Miss Naddy talking about hotpot and, as with her students, having to work harder to understand what the hell she is saying because of her desire to hide her command of Japanese

immersive language learning sometimes bears unexpected fruit, like archaic forms of "prostitute" is that what's happening in what I'm reading? no, no it's not, it's a cat girl making cat noises. but still.

status of reading manga in Japanese with Jisho's help: it's happening? I love that every time Rentaro is sweating bullets as he asks "will you accept this new girlfriend" to a receptive audience Kogoe's name being a pun on her decision to "a little bit longer" in bed for five years is delightful

made it from level 7 of wanikani to level 8 in the space of 16 days, which I feel like is a pretty good clip, since that averages out to more than two kanji per day I want to drill new kanji a bit more so that maybe I can get going a little faster and not get so flummoxed by the new words/readings

well that was easy (a lot of people are not really building teams mindful of how many legendaries and mythicals are completely unrestricted) the meta is a glorious mess now because Garchomp and Metagross are no longer the heavies they once were with Groudon or Zygarde in the mix not a lot of Keldeo

Queen #MakotoNiijima #Persona5

me: "maybe I could work on my fanfic" my brain: "what if the decanted-brain tech in the mech hopepunk fic is alchemic in nature and that ties into the A-plot running underneath a work long enough for the apparent primary conflict to actually be the C-plot" me: *resumes Octopath Traveler II*

I am totally normal about the fact that the person who will be holding the spare key to my home soon is going to be the same owner who decided she would hold on to my "I consent" charm for when she wants to clip it to my collar and emphasize that my words don't matter and the things she wants to do

batbook is such a cute ship name for them

just like in the fairy tales! #deadlock #batbook

i have to pin down her lil bee wings and repopulate the hive

the vexation of being one previous error away from having sufficient mastery of the current level of kanji to be introduced to about three dozen more it was looking like I was going to finish level 7 of wanikani in two weeks but I was one away and now it'll be more like two and a half, one hopes?

these are all valid teams Z-A Ranked Battles are wonderfully absurd to let me bring comps like this while the only limits are picking one of [Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde, Mewtwo] Zeraora, Magearna, and Keldeo: “yes these are all mythicals but not popular ones; go have fun”

it will be tremendously funny if H'aanit does actually steal the final blow from Primrose in much the same way that Primrose stole the final blow on Redeye from H'aanit with the rune she got from Tressa also this is very gay

observe the complete dodge on the boss's attack is Tressa giving everyone six stacks of Sidestep the "Bright Pursuit" is Tressa's Runelord power activating; that's the intended use of Transfer Rune to confer party-wide buffs Primrose also seduced Ophilia to cast BP Boost on all, which helped a lot
