Personal.

The past few months haven't been exactly the best for me, shitty people I have to deal with at work day after day after day, a neighbor with obnoxious roosters that would start screaming like fucking banshees every single day at 3 a.m., one of my cats being sick and I'm still not sure I'll be able to pay for her treatment. I'm not going to complain about my health problems because honestly I don't go to the doctors because I don't like doctors and hospitals,they never did much for me anyway, and again, expensive.

Recently the actor I cared about the most before I made this blog died and while I can only imagine from personal experience how terrible it must have been for his family and loved ones, this is a selfish post about myself and all my woes. So I'm only selfishly thinking about myself and my feelings, the black hole it's left inside me.

His name was James Ransone and he was only 46.

It made me contemplate whether or not to keep this blog, to keep having "idols", it's so much safer to like fictional characters, isn't it? Even if they die, they weren't real to begin with. Even if you think crying over celebrities death is absurd and ridiculous, I'm still going to do it. I had already been deeply saddened by Rob Reiner's death and I didn't even know anything about him, only the wonderful movies he'd made. It doesn't matter, I don't care what you think.

I will continue posting though, I can't just turn off loving David just like that. If he dies before I do, I'll just deal with it if it happens. Sure we talk about normalizing conversations about death with his show but it's different when it actually happens.

Sorry, I tried to gather my thoughts before posting but I think it's still all a big mess. I'm not okay right now but I hope to come back 2026 for everything that I missed. Thank you everyone who's followed and supported and made my life a little more fun up to this point. See you next year I guess.

Another Dust Bunny interview with David and Bryan, I was going to make gifs again but David's holding Penny the entire time and despite it being one of the most soft, adorable scenes I've seen all year, I don't like bringing kids to the hellsite.

But he looks this pretty in it if you must know

I don't think there were any spoilers here, but the sound was kind iffy so I didn't understand most of it anyway 😅

I’m blaming the M Bison images but I had this vision of Pin-Lee having to go on a mission with Gurathin in the Corporation Rim and Gurathin has to go into “espionage mode” and Pin-Lee is just…

Pin-Lee: “Woah! Wait a second—you are disturbingly hot. Like worryingly hot and hot in a way I don’t want to think too deeply about at all…”

Gurathin: “No, I am pretending to be hot, it’s part of the act.”

Pin-Lee: “I’m not sure if that just makes it hotter?”

Gurathin: “Don’t make this any weirder than it already is…”
