Weirdlet's Oddities

Damnit, I just got used to LiveJournal, and now everybody's switched. 40, and not entirely sure how I got this far. Generally baffled.

As ever, late to the party

[weirdlet]

it's after midnight after a terrible heat-humidity day, and I am putting far too much effort into what's supposed to be a sketchy meme.

I mean, I'm trying to find *hand references*.

This is very stupid but it’s genuinely what I think about every time I consider skipping dinner after work

Edit: legit did not realize that senshis fighting for his life in the sexyman polls but I’m very happy to be spreading pro senshi propaganda

Maybe a weird take, but I think the old, weird, racist and just whacked-out descriptions of D&D's "always evil" species work if you assume they're in-universe propaganda. Like, the whole "drow are led by women, are always naked, are back-stabbing, duplicitous, keep men as slaves, and have strange rituals involving a spider goddess" might be inspired by the truth, but it sure sounds like the kind of thing an uptight, patriarchal society would write about a group of people they want burn at the stake, right? Like if someone told me that was pulled straight from the Malleus Maleficarum I'd probably believe them. "Orcs and goblins are stupid, violent, cannibalistic raiders who will raze your town and steal your women back to their backwards cave towns" really sure sounds like the kinda thing you read in historical texts about a society when the empire wants to justify colonizing them.

And the fact that all these "evil, barbaric" species always seem to have beef with the high elves, well, kinda points the finger toward whose leaders are spreading the narrative, don't it?

Like I don't blame anyone for wanting to move away from "fantasy racism" in their fun improv game with friends, I think that's great. But you still see "fantasy racism" show up a lot in contemporary campaigns and it always seems to be justified in-universe (except against tieflings, I guess) and that just DOESN'T sit with me

Just give another side to the story. High elves have this whole mythology about how Corellon cast down Lolth and all her children for being a traitor - and that story exists in-universe, and it's probably the first one humans hear. But you really think that's the drow side of the story? Really?? "Thats so interesting that you worship a god of the sun, we worship a traitor spider adulteress who turns us into mutants for failing arbitrary tasks" like FUCK that what's their actual version of the Corellon-Lolth cycle mythos?

every other week, my mom would make a giant pot of vegetable soup. she'd pack half of it in a tupperware and take it to her best friend's house. they both had three kids whose ages aligned. they'd lock us out of the house and go through each room, finding every piece of dirty laundry and then spend the afternoon keeping the washer and dryer running, folding and putting away each load while gossiping.

every alternate week, her best friend would come to our house with a tupperware full of chicken spaghetti. they'd stick us in front of a tv with a stack of disney vhs tapes and go through each room, finding every dirty dish, and then spend the afternoon at the kitchen sink, washing each dish by hand while gossiping.

it wasn't always soup and spaghetti and laundry and dishes. but it was almost always a meal and a chore. here is a night you don't have to cook dinner. here is a chore you can cross off your list. and here is a day you don't have to spend alone. because really food and friendship and a feeling of accomplishment are what we all need most.

stockholm syndrome doesn't exist, except for when you start liking some of the songs that play on your work radio that you would never put in your casual playlists

“my father is a boy and my mother is a girl so i’m mixed” is the funniest possible response to someone asking your gender and it came from 6’5 Viking footballer and notable weird little guy Erling Haaland on a Snapchat

I live a very balanced life of noticing things nobody else does and not noticing the things that literally everybody notices

One of these days, I’m gonna tell a customer that I’m making fifteen dollars an hour (after taxes) and if this was OnlyFans I’d be charging them fifty dollars a minute to talk to me like that. And frankly, sir/madam, you’re not my type.

crazy how if you do your chores and obligations first thing on a day off you can enjoy your free time more than if you feel like you’re procrastinating your chores and obligations the whole time. i will not be learning from this experience
