I follow multiple people on Tumblr who fucking hate DC author Tom King and have another friend eagerly recommending me various DC comics especially one by Tom Taylor and this would be entirely unremarkable if I were capable of distinguishing between men named Tom HOWEVER,

why does my cat so dearly love to lie on a currently unused air conditioning unit

Sativa loves to play with q-tips (she steals them right out of the box) and it is so so so important that you see how she carries them around, like a little cigarette

specifically she is doing Dr. Doofenschmirtz shit to this ham

my wife is doing mad scientist shit to a ham

my mother in law is a lovely and generous woman but she is also off her nut. christmas stockings included an entire bottle of shampoo and a wheel of cheese.

the thing is that 1. there is of course a lot of cooking and cleaning to do for Christmas 2. Avery and I have both worked retail and thus despise 99.9% of Christmas music 3. both of us like our "lock in and get shit done" music, uh, intense

dear comics fandom can we like. put fucking ISBNs on things. wiki articles at least. yes it's ridiculous this is needed but it IS so PLEASE

Context: so I don't always notice when I'm taking the last item out of a box

chicago bus drivers truly could not possibly care less about whether or not you pay your fare

I ASSUME it's the fact that I searched the word "sober" and not my fit of 00s emo-rock nostalgia that has Big Brother trying to stage me an intervention but it's neither appreciated nor necessary in either scenario, I just wanted to hear some pissed off guitars

video game achievements should not be about playing the game through on Level 70000 Handfucker Hard Mode they should be about doing incredibly specific shit that no normal person would ever think to try

keyboard shortcuts I'm familiar with: vital. essential. friends. elements of civilization. should be on everything. keyboard shortcuts I'm not familiar with: devils lying in wait to make fools of us all

I never want to comment about an author's note bc I don't want to be like 'hey, this thing you knocked off in three seconds stuck in my head more than the thing you poured sweat blood and tears into' (which is not even necessarily true, I might just have stored them differently)

they got georgia o'keefe doing the set design for the new metroid game

"We have five syllables and you still find a way to kinkshame me!"

I can't remember where I saw this but I saw someone being like 'you're an asshole if you're still into HP' yeah, agreed, pretty inarguable at this point, it's pretty heinous 'or hp inspired romantasy' I. hm. I mean it's not like. licensed, right. bc I think we lost the thread a bit

♥️

thanks buddy.

to anyone on my steam friendslist who actually looks at activity feeds: there was a headphones left on keyboard incident

taking sensible scarf-based steps to comensate for my inability to find a winter hat and getting called a babushka from all sides

1) she says it was seven nation army 2) I keep getting it stuck in my head but specifically her version about beans

oh I'm about to be a HUGE bitch about something

AVERY: 🎵 Ooh, they're goin' to snaaaap ya, oooh, they're goin' to snap all your beans 🎵 ME, AFTER FOUR OR FIVE REPETITIONS OF THIS: so, is this an existing song, or -- Avery: [face which makes it IMMEDIATELY clear that she had not consciously processed that I could hear this]

I will just plug in my phone behind the couch --

me: I will buy the nice chapstick, an extra dollar or two is worth it for something that feels nice the nice chapstick, the second my back is turned: DEPARTS THIS MATERIAL PLANE

there is not a lot I like about this job but the Ukrainian grandma who works the front end popping into the break room just long enough to be like "I THINK THIS WOMAN SHOULD DIVORCE" about today's Customers Acting Up truly is a bright spot in the day

I love other people's circuses

I should go to BED but working for a bully has really shed a light on all the terrible useless advice that adults give to kids about bullying, and that light is: oh. They do that because between adults it DOES work that way.

I'm always surprised to realize how little I actually post over here lately. I'm on here p much daily! But most of what I do lately is read comics, play house flipper, and ill-wish my boss, and I've been doing my comicsposting on Tumblr

okay you can't make The Character dense in service of the whump. that ruins the fun.

I am hitting it OFF with the Jim Butcher haters on Tumblr this week.

Today Avery bet on pain of NERFgunning that she could explain "the entire FNAF story in eight minutes or less" it took her over twice that and I don't think anything has been what one would call explained

@failedawillsave.bsky.social I see you retweeting furry porn on lunch break

For someone who doesn't listen to a lot of either, I sure do think a lot about that post that called the McElroys "millenial Car Talk"

do you think the friday the 13th movies exist in the DC universe bc if I was a guy named Jason who came back from the dead and ran around in a helmet, I don't know that I'd like those movies very much or at least I would get Very Tired About It

vienna teng complimented my outfit AND my name ;; and I got to tell her a little bit of what her music has meant to me, and it was SUCH an incredible show, and. yeah. a really good night.

as I get older I can appreciate Dickens's prose more but I still think the man approaches a point like he's afraid it will startle and run away

Random take sequitor of the day but I think calling the enclaves in Naomi Novik's Scholomance an allegory for IRL privilege is like saying guys on flying carpets who you can flag down in the street and pay a fare to take you to your destination are an allegory for taxis.

anyone got a recipe that uses a fuckton of cocoa powder and not eggs?

and some high rolls on the sex table, for - thigh territory - belts - supposedly sexy indentured servitude🤬 - business formal (okay, nice there) - monogamy is not invented (ok that's gonna be interesting with the catholics and puritans?) - aaaand option 6, MILFs And/Or Lolis

I've got: - puritan weirdos with contradictory outfits - sky pirates - inexplicable USD - incredibly oppressive adventurer's guild - all powerful society of pharmacologists (nice) - scantily clad demons aaand for the finisher, discount nun catholicism

someone MUST have done a borrowers-inspired basebuilding / exploration / resource-gathering sim game. surely. surely??

re zero is fun because it looks like a prettily animated type one and then there's a panel 3 that says "UPDATE: the slave catgirls killed me in my sleep for obvious reasons, as is their right" (there aren't actual slaves, Subaru is In Need Of A Character Arc but he's never THAT bad)

"the Tallgeese is a Gundam in the same way you don't put a tomato in a fruit salad" <-- a sentence which simultaneously expresses exactly what I meant, arguably makes no sense at all, and has made dozens of a very specific type of guy twitch like I just walked over their grave

keeping my wife on her toes

sorry, being informed that martin luther of the 99 theses claimed to fart at the devil to drive him off
