"Do it if you want to, and if you don't want to, then don't do it."

My brother has passed the hyperfixation curse onto my boyfriend. Now they're both obsessed with scugs. They're speedrunning scugs together. They've forsaken sleep for the sake of scugs. I wake up to them wondering how they're going to share their scugs. My brother likes the mechanics, while my boyfriend appreciates the lore. Really appreciates. My boyfriend might be a superstructure. My brother thinks that's distracting them from the game. I think they both should take a hike down into the nearest lake. Their efforts to kill the chieftain scavenger are so far unsuccessful. The after-explosion ringing is etched into my ears. I love them so much. It's so nice to see them both have fun. So nice. I have a headache. I also might have a knife.
Forgot what was said in a conversation 5 seconds ago. Playing in my head to the tune of Never Ever Getting Rid Of Me:
I don't get it! If it seems like I did, I'm probably lying boldly. Such a stubborn man, you'll likely never meet another! When we go to that place that you mentioned, I remember It's the best! I'll learn more about it as I secretly google it fast.
when someone asks you to repeat what you said because they didn't hear you, always repeat it. doesn't matter if it's embarrassing or you think it'll ruin the joke or you think it's not important enough to repeat. respect the people around you.
Surely this fragment we have that has an important function, that is crucial for the wellbeing of the deum overall, won't elaborate and grow and gain its own identity- Aaand there it goes. (sigh) Hi, The Eye, nice to meet you.
If I had a nickel for every time someone in this deum picks out a name that starts with the same letter as someone else's name, I'd have way too many fucking nickels.
if you want to experience life more deeply you have to find more beauty. stop training yourself to dismiss, to mock, to assume the worst all the time — when you do this you build walls between yourself and the world. and after a while you stop feeling the warmth of it entirely.
beauty requires openness. it asks you to let things reach you, to soften enough to be moved. it’s not naive to see beauty everywhere—it’s a skill, a form of intelligence, a kind of quiet bravery. because it is so much easier to critique than to create, to detach than to engage, to dismiss than to love.
let yourself be affected. let yourself find things beautiful and let that be enough. life is not asking you to be cool, sitting on the sidelines and nitpicking everything. it’s asking you to see life and experience it fully.
So we've been tracking our symptoms, including exhaustion, and we mostly figured it out, right? We slept enough this night! I don't feel tired at all! So it's all good, right? Right?
"Do not tell me we have separate needs." - said Pitch, angry and only about a-quarter-awake, and promptly passed out.
So, uh. Apparently, resting time doesn't transfer equally between guises. Sorry, Pitch.
