I got my hurrrrrs did today for Pride month. I think it's nice and subtle.

(Thank you to Brandi Barringer at The Rage in Grand Central Mall, Vienna, WV, who deserves lots of love and praise for her work! And yes, I know we here on the hellsite don't usually share that level of information but both she and I are okay with it. This turned out awesome and she deserves recognition, dammit!)

My attitude towards scavs

[themadlobster]

Something happens and my paranoia that I'm fundamentally annoying, unlovable, and terrible to be around and the people I love secretly hate me and are with me out of some kind of obligation is set off

I isolate and my socialization skills weaken

Eventually I drag myself out of it, but my ability to human is atrophied

Repeat

Congrats to Otherside Picnic for managing to write a horror story where the textual experience is not at all scary but the metaphorical implication made me have a panic attack.

"Sorawo is watching couples getting attacked by monkeys with scissors" yawnnn

"The couples represent the sexual and romantic acts her partner will want that she doesn't understand or know how to engage in. The monkeys are how her inability to recripocate correctly is an existential threat to her relationship with her zucchini. The reverse lap pillow is an act is so alien and nonsensical to her that she can't even see a path to figuring out how to understand it, so she can't stop the monkeys from tearing her and Toriko apart." Holy fuck

im like a girl-flavored person

a girl with a dark side, the incomprehensible abysmal darkness that covers up 30% of the corner of the room

im not a "woman" or a "female", im just a girl, and even that is 'kind of'

i have the shell of a girl but my insides are utterly esoteric for the human mind, including my own
