"good news! i designed an eldritch creature" is it just a tentacle monster?

"i don't understand" i want an extradimensional horror story with an entity that irreversibly damages the human mind upon interaction, with or without malicious intent. is that what you have, or is it a monster with tentacles and a tragic backstory?

"it's a lovecraftian horror" you're sure? you have a cognitohazard and not a sexy alien?

"correct. it's a true feral cryptid, not just big tiddy waifu bait." excellent. show me the monstrosity.

> it's just a spooky furry

Put an egg in your ramen. Put scallions in your ramen. Put chili oil in your ramen. Put kewpie Mayo in your ramen. But nori in your ramen. Put tofu in your ramen. Put miso paste in your ramen. Put mushrooms in your ramen.

No.

an author i love just tweeted about how “big joy and small joy are the same” and how she was just as content the other night eating chocolate and cuddling her dog as she was on her Big Trip to new york and honestly. i think that’s it. this morning i was listening to an audiobook while baking shortbread in my joggers and i realised i really didn’t care what Big Things happened in my future as long as i could keep baking and reading at the weekend and maybe that is the kind of bar we have to set to guard ourselves against disappointment. just appreciate and cherish the mundane stuff and see everything else as a bonus.

[serotoninsuggestion]

found it - she was replying to this thread that starts “unpopular opinion: i don’t think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; i think it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die” and i for one think that’s fucking brilliant

“everyone is mad at me and they just won’t tell me” —> “no one has said anything about being mad at me and i haven’t done anything to warrant being mad at so if someone is silently fuming about me and not saying anything that’s their problem and actually quite weird of them and i can effortlessly move on with my life”

[cheaphalloweencostume]

this took SUCH a huge deal of unlearning because, like so many of you, i came out of a home where being quietly in trouble WAS the default state, and i DID grow up not just with the assumption but borderline religious conviction that Everyone Is Mad At Me, I Am Bad, I Must Exist In A Constant State of Attempting to Pacify The Natural Rage I Inspire In Everyone. and no it actually turns out that my family are the freaks . and yours are too

[cheaphalloweencostume]

the confidence to insist something exists entirely outside politics is itself a political stance btw

[tpwrtrmnky]

scifi/fantasy rpg: Yeah so when you go outside settlements there are Plunderers. These are like fully-grown human beings whose only purpose in life is to attack people who travel between settlements. This lifestyle is somehow sustainable enough that there's more of them than there are friendly NPCs

[tpwrtrmnky]

Where do Plunderers live? Well in Plunderer Camps, which are often quite permanent-looking settlements, but like. Don't think too hard about why this entire group of people is just considered intrinsically criminal with no attempts to even try diplomacy or trade with them.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Plunderers can be distinguished from Normal People by the fact that they wear distinct Plunderer Equipment and have fully separate aesthetics in how they construct their settlements compared to everyone else.

Hey this is really fucking weird right?

[tpwrtrmnky]

Anyway I was playing Baldur's Gate 1 and there's a quest where a paladin asks you to collect "Bandit" scalps. These are dropped by everyone in the Intrinsic Category of Bandit. Which really struck me as particularly shameless about this whole thing.

i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.

it effects everything.

being trans is easier when youre white.

being gay is easier when youre white.

being disabled is easier when youre white.

being a woman is easier when youre white.

being autistic is easier when youre white.

oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.

you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.

never forget this.

[raccoon-piss]

three things:

1. it’s true

2. white people get pissed when i bring this up/wear this shirt

3. the comments to this thread melted my fucking eyeballs seriously why the fuck are y’all like this

[lady-hibiscus]

white people you don’t need to say you’re white when you reblog this btw. you don’t even need to mention it btw

We saw a firefly on our way home from national night out tonight.

I've lived in this neighborhood for 20 years, and never seen one here, before.

In less than a decade, I've watched the proliferation of native planting, habitat planting, signs saying an area is for pollinators and no pesticides allowed, fewer and fewer monoculture grass lawns. Better raking and soil health practices. Businesses and schools are installing rain gardens and native plants all over my neighborhood, and it's slowly spilling out into more and more types of neighborhoods.

if you haven't been paying attention to gardens for the past decade you'd never notice it.

But it started slow and now it's speeding up rapidly.

Expectations here are shifting.

And tonight, we got a firefly.

two million people starving to death because it's geopolitically convenient and we're all expected to go about our day normally like the casual cruelty on display for the past two years has been so insane to me like i'm not even trying to make a point it's just truly something i can't wrap my mind around

[valtsv]

i love when i share what seems to me like basic entry-level critical self-awareness advice with other people and they react like i'm a terrifyingly transgressive but tempting corrupting influence. i really missed my calling as one of those villains who are unimpeachably ideologically correct but undermined by a personal deficiency of character that makes them hideously unattractive to anyone more socially adept.

[valtsv]

me: oh no! this person is experiencing shame about something they don't need to! we should offer them a kinder, more forgiving perspective!
