partially-managed mental illness is so fucking funny i'll be sitting around doing my job and suddenly think "wow i hate myself" and immediately get confused because, like, that's not TRUE! i love myself so much. who are you to talk to me like that

they teach you the golden rule, treat others how you want to be treated, but in a pinch you can apply the silver rule (be kinda selfish because you’ve earned it) or even the bronze rule (manipulate others purely for your benefit).

[merelymaple]

There's also the stone rule: Just start hitting people.

[mint-swirl]

that’s right

yearner rocky is fun and all that but do you ever think about the reality of just how much about the human experience is locked away from him? and that there are some gaps he won't ever be able to bridge? it must be maddening for him

what does it mean when grace's heart beats faster? he looks it up on his portable earth thinking machine. fuck. it could mean anything. it could mean slight surprise or it could mean he's having a heart attack and actively dying.

there are so many liquids that grace's body expels, and so many that it holds. how does he know if its a good liquid or a bad liquid being expelled?? he cant tell the difference

it doesnt help that humans have a penchant for vague conversations and keeping things hidden, there is a nuance to so much of human communication that simply isnt there in eridian culture, and rocky's particular human is even more cagey about things than most

god rocky must feel like he's going insane

Whenever I see someone refer to "Victorian era-" for places outside the UK I'm tempted to start saying shit like "Han Dynasty era Rome", "Soviet era Australia" etc

I know this is a joke but this helps me put a lot of historical periods into perspective.

Always funny to me when indie devs who already sell games for dirt cheap participate in steam sales with like 90 percent off. Like. "Yeah this game is three dollars but you can have it for one right now." Like your game costs as much as a pack of m&ms and youre selling it for the cost of a pack of m&ms in the 1950s now? Okay

[seelcudoom]

also half the time the same indie devs on bluesky saying shit like "oh ya if you cant afford one dollar you have my full permission to just pirate that shit that shit"

[thestalkerbunny]

But then their shit will be so fire, you gotta troll their website to be like 'how can I give MORE MONEY to these people they DESERVE IT.'

[s0lanums]

i think the first time grace loses a tooth from scurvy, once they get past the initial panic (“no, i won’t die from losing one tooth” and “yeah, it hurts, but it’s not that bad” and “i can still eat just fine, i promise”), rocky tentatively asks if he can hear it more closely.

“yeah, sure.” grace holds up the tooth to the xenonite barrier.

“no, closer,” rocky says, claws clicking nervously. “want to hold.”

grace considers that. if rocky were to, say, lose a chunk of carapace, he’d ask to have it without a second thought. he’d probably make an excuse about wanting to point a spectrometer at it or test its properties, and he’d obviously do those things, but he’d mainly just want to touch it. to hold a piece of rocky without fear of either of them being harmed.

he drops the tooth into the exchange drawer and rocky lunges to retrieve it. grace has a thousand self-hating, existential thoughts about losing it — his health is declining so quickly, his smile is changed forever, he can guess which tooth he’ll lose next — but they all quiet as he watches rocky pick it up with trembling claws. rocky cradles the tooth in the palm of his hand like a delicate treasure, warbling a wordless tune of delight, and grace thinks that, if he makes it through this, everything might just be okay.

Concept: Depressing dystopian factory where everything is gray and samey and the workers are called by their employee numbers by an ominous deep voice.

But it's a really great place to work with high salaries, excellent benefits, and a flexible working schedule with plenty of paid leave. They just like the dystopian aesthetic.

[charlesoberonn]

PA system: Worker 72094. Leave your working station and report to the Supervisor immediately.

Supervisor: Worker 72094. You failed to meet your quota for 3 weeks in a row now.

Worker 72094: I can explain!

Supervisor: You're clearly burned out. I heard you moved recently. Take a mandatory two weeks paid vacation to readjust and report to me then.

Worker 72094: I... thank you?

[charlesoberonn]

Shadowy Board Member: Worker 11335. Do you know why you were summoned?

Worker 11335: Is it because I badmouthed the company during lunch?

Shadowy Board Member: That is correct. We are very displeased, Worker 11335...

Shadowy Board Member: ...with ourselves, that is. We hold ourselves to high standards of excellence which we clearly failed to meet. We were hoping you could advise us on necessary improvements. You will receive appropriate compensation, of course.

[charlesoberonn]

Job Interviewer: *wearing a featureless mask and speaking through a voice changer* Welcome to Hopeless Inc., Worker 100100.

Worker 100100: What's with the mask?

Job Interviewer: I'm shy 🤭

[charlesoberonn]

Of course. All Hopeless Inc. employees are due-paying members of Mindless Drones United.

It's a very responsive union that cares about its members on an individual level. They just love the dystopian hivemind aesthetic.

They're actually a Super Evil Corporation, but like, they want to rule the world for generations to come, which requires sustainability (can't rule for generations if the planet dies before the first generation is old,) efficiency (workers are at their most efficient when they have plenty of rest, good pay and benefits, and reasonable work schedule,) and Quality (people will eventually stop buying products if they aren't made with quality and good ingredients.)

[charlesoberonn]

They want to rule the world, but ruling the world is hard. Somebody then suggests the brilliant idea of "exploiting" their workers' knowledge, expertise, and insight.

They'll elevate whoever the workers decide to positions of power to supplement the board's workload.

To save the hassle of a costly internal power struggle, they'll even let the workers choose the leader's successor in some sort of election.

The fools will be none the wiser!

Non-Airbender: How are you fat?

Fat Airbender: They keep inventing new cookie flavors.

Non-Airbender: No, I mean aren't you too heavy to be able to fly?

Fat Airbender: *looks to their Sky Bison* What do you think, 50 ton flying original airbender, should we go on a diet?

Sky Bison: *groans in protest*

Non-Airbender: Okay okay I get the point.
