man apparently these are still hard even when I'm not Literally Dying anymore :v
the sad sale went great, thank you for all the support everyone <3 I bought shelves and makeup and paper star papers and stickers and a new blanket, plus it's helping cover my allowance until my wife starts getting paid. I am already thinking I might do another sale in november just for fun lol
my wife has started orientation at her program and she's having a great time, our partner and I are gonna go down to visit her in a couple weeks :) I also finished rearranging all my furniture now that her furniture isn't here and it only made me terribly ill once!
I am really enjoying everyone singing along on [live and learm], I love enthusiasm <3

aw that's so cool! the ones that are like actually packaged for making paper stars are usually a bit thinner than printer paper, like other origami paper, but that also means they tear a lot more easily in the first step if you're not careful, so it's always a tradeoff. what a fun coincidence :>
on [hallway] @thesilentpotato said: the first thing i thought of was the "da dee la da dee la da" krabby patty zoom in scene from spongebob
lol I hadn't thought of that until you said it but you're so right (she is referencing [this scene] from the krusty krab training video for anyone unfamiliar)
(side note thank you to folks who put pronouns in easily findable places so I can refer to you correctly even if I don't know you <3 )
on [birthday] @joekingv1 said: *asks baby what gifts they received and if they would like to read/watch Komi Can't Communicate*
I never really got into komi because one of the side characters really squicks me out, but I have a friend that really loves it, so maybe they've watched it with her! I think they probably got to go somewhere fun for their birthday like a theme park or a zoo, and get a souvenir plush while they were there -u-
on [sheep] @ceylonsilvergirl [added] a different line for kirby, which I still think about regularly lol
on [pills] @minty-spice said: op i hope your health improves and your empire of pills eventually shrinks
thank you <3 honestly I'd be happy with just the first one, I don't mind all the pills so much as long as they're actually helping.
on [crackers] @amatsuki said: made a bunch of cold noodles today with cucumber carrot chicken & sesame peanut soy sauce. the only actual cooking i had to do was boil water and steam chicken
oh hell yeah cold noodles are a fantastic example of a basic food to go feral over. now I want noodles too.........
on [thinking] @adrawrable said: hope you're cozy op
not right now as I type this because it is Computer Work Time, but in general I am So Cozy these days, I have a whole queen bed to myself so it's full of big stuffed animals and fluffy blankets :) (tbh even once my wife moves back here we may just all have individual beds we all seem very comfy this way lol)
on [slam] @jeaniechibi said: we'll be right back ➡️ shshgdtsudtdidh why is every bit of art with a blurr effect so damn funny 🤣
it truly is, I love a thoughtfully applied motion blur (or perspective blur can be funny too) (altho tbh I don't use the perspective blur tool for those I just use separate layers and gaussian blur) (for anyone unfamiliar this is a reference to the eric andre show meme)
on [beehive] @galacticnova3 said: me @ wasp nests minus the frowning, little fellas doing their little fella activities. sometimes they squabble. the thinking man’s reality tv drama
true, true, gotta love little fella activities. personally I feel better observing from a safe distance, but we had a lot of wasps around my childhood home and I didn't really know how to get friendlier than not actively making them mad lol
anonymous asked: That profile is amazing
for some reason I don't feel like I understand, but thank you!
on [sale] @milkymoon-ramblings said: gahh why do so many people have so many cool probducts, the queers are tempting me with their cool swag. however I need to save money for my own cool swag (digital art)
I just love the phrase "the queers are tempting me with their cool swag", so relatable lol (also no worries to anyone who couldn't or didn't want to buy anything, it's not like I needed it to pay bills I just wanted treats :v )
on [solstice] @jaune-chat said: Definitely, the sun can fuck right off. I break into a rash if I get too much sun, and I can't walk outside without full body coverage to some degree or be itching for WEEKS! In order of preference, is fall, winter, spring, summer.
oof yeah my mom gets a bad rash from sun exposure too! I'm fortunate to not have that specific symptom, but dang it seems so inconvenient, especially if you're also sensitive to heat so being covered up puts you at additional risk. personally I rate winter a little higher than fall but otherwise yeah total agreement lol
on [rollerskates] @nexus-nebulae said: @ prev tags i used to daydream constantly about being able to roller skate everywhere because i would constantly think 'rolling would be way easier than dragging my feet everywhere rn' and it took me two months of constantly thinking about that before i realised OH i need a ROLLATOR that would help (<- i am not smart) i haven't actually tried roller skating bc i don't own skates but i have used a skateboard briefly and that also feels better than walking. i wonder.... if the roller skating rink nearby would allow me to use a rollator in the rink with skates on........ probably not lmao
honestly it takes so much to actually realize like "oh a mobility aid might help with this" which is like, a bad thing, but we're just gonna focus on the funny part for now happy disability pride month :v and tbh I think maybe they might let you do it??? cuz like at ice skating rinks they usually have those little penguins or just straight up plastic lawn chairs for people to support themselves on, so I don't think it would be that crazy to go out on the rollarink with a rollator? but also that's just me and I do not run the place or get paid minimum wage to keep people from breaking the place sooo lol
I would say Fallout New Vegas but that's not true. I would say Gears of War but that's also not true.
This one is a really good but difficult question for me because if I were to take account of every game I've played on PC and mostly the PS2, with also some emulated games that I want to get back...somehow...(I know how...the question honestly is WHEN... *side eyes brain* >.>)....there's...there's games I've played that were very very important to me that shaped what and who I am today.
But to save the trouble cos I got 2 more questions to answer after this:
It's a tie between the Deus Ex franchise and Destiny 2
I'll go more into Destiny 2 for now because that's where I met a lot of good people that I still keep in touch with.
It's a game that I have the most listed accomplishments ever that I can go back to and yeah show off but mainly to recognize that I was able to accomplish SOMETHING in my 30's. My 30's were (and in some ways still are) very very rough, but it's hopefully a decade that I can remember more positively than my 20's and teens.
I've got 2 Triumph Pins and won the 2020 Guardian Games as a hunter. I've completed several raid runs with friends, AND I did 2 Day One raid openings (though sadly I never beat them in Contest Mode).
As much as I complain about the game mode Gambit, it's something I got good at in and with Spite. I won't ever say I'm a top player in Gambit. Far from it actually if I were to look up my stats on Destiny Tracker, but I've gotten good to say that I've put the work in and the experiences made me Good enough to be a reliable teammate.
And I've gotten skilled with a weapon class that honestly more games NEED to get into because there's SO MUCH FUCKING POTENTIAL--
*deep breath*...I am enamored by Bungie's bow mechanics and designs so yes...I'll just leave it at that.
Anywho, maybe one day I'll rb this (if I remember >.>) and go into why I loved the Deus Ex franchise just as much.
5. Name a game that that everyone else didn’t care for that you enjoyed
Hmm.....*thinking*
Dirt 2 and 3
I LOVE rally racing a lot and honestly those two games really showed how much I loved it.
At first it was more like a connection to a childhood time where there was this isometric rally racing arcade game that I couldn't beat for the life of me and spent way too much money on at the time. But really it's because Dirt 2 and 3 were the first time I got to play a racing game that made me understand racing as a whole a lot better than the Need For Speed franchise ever could.
Plus the intensity of each game's era was awesome as hell and it's sad that...well...hmm...I could try to find these two games elsewhere for sure, but again it's sad that the copies I have aren't playable anymore (even offline) =(
So...maybe one day I'll find another copy of each game that works with the PC I have currently :3 >:3c
10. Name a favorite obscure video game
asdffkjlgh omfg so there was this arcade game that was MASSIVE in actual size because it seated 6 players and was a rail space shooter that you literally had to ENTER INTO because it was like...a total simulator of sorts and I fucking forgot the name of it but I beat it on MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator), and it was a game that I was OBSESSED with in my teens...maybe younger than that actually o.o
This arcade game was so cool because it really brought out the cooperative spirit in people. Some groups I played with were silent but would use the games visual cues to signal to the other players. Some groups were very vocal (not swearing really. since I was a kid any adult that played it kept swearing to a bare minimum) and would tell the other players where to shoot and what to fight off. It was so cool because at the time, NO ONE was able to reach the final boss and beat the name. Not even the badass solo players that got really far into the game.
I honestly miss that arcade game so much and tbh if the world (yes world not just the US) EVER brings back arcade emporiums full swing, I want to see game devs do a full from-the-ground-up remake of that arcade game and even put their heart into it so much to make a very awesome and compelling story!
Pipe dream yes but eh...a sweet butch gaymer trans gal can dream right? ^.^
Hi! I was wondering if you (or your followers) have any squeaky plush toy recommendations? My dog is picky and doesn't like any hard or plastic toys, but she keeps ripping the plush ones open after a couple of weeks.
I don’t think there is a truly indestructible plush toy out there, but stuffed toys with double stitched seams are going to be the better option.
Goddess Xev, I offer you a big pointy knife, an anti material rifle, a Samus Aran figurine, and a large pizza. >:3c
OoooOH~! :D
I bless your offering with absolute victory against your enemies, a clear and calm night sky, joyous camaraderie, and abundance in sustenance. I also bless this offering with a whet stone that somehow never dries, a bullet for every person who wronged you, a tiny space ship, and a clean stone table to enjoy the pizza along with me. <3 <3
