bandit king of lunch and string

little bit, yeah. :/

except on tumblr i can enforce my boundaries. i think my brain was doing one of those 'what if' scenarios and this one was "what if you couldn't enforce your boundaries in any way?" and i guess the answer turns out to be "keep fucking trying and get really really mad" which... come on brain, we already know that, we experienced it from kindergarten through fifth grade.

 

my minecraft game has tips on the loading screen and one of them is "large fossils can be found beneath swamps and desserts"

i'm always like

*looks under my choco cake* ooh dinosaur!

 

i have now watched all the episodes of "that time i got reincarnated as a slime" that exist, and i love rimuru SO MUCH.

you know what impresses me? that somehow the mix of genderless adorable monster child and hot bisexual dad isn't even slightly creepy. i think it's the way he does stuff like refuse to make an adult female form because it looks like his dead friend and that would be disrespectful. most anime would either go with "no because i'm a guy dammit" or "whoohoo boobies" but he's like "no i am not cosplaying her that's too sad" and i love him for it.

and the way he goes all blushu about getting used as a boob rest or when ninja oni boy does something cool, but he's never a perv about it. he does not seem to actually want to be sexual in any way, he just likes being around pretty people.

i also love the way he's HELLA OP but it doesn't break the plot because it's not an edgelord power fantasy, it's just that fighting isn't the point of the story. the plot is about forging alliances and making friends, not about who's got the bigger lightning attack.

it's just a really good show and i'm so happy it exists. @Vast Derp idk if you ever check in here but if you get this notification, https://www.crunchyroll.com/that-time-i-got-reincarnated-as-a-slime i think you will like it. the protagonist seems like someone you'd come up with, but less traumatized. :D

 

being married is the longest slumber party.

i meant to just have a cuddle and sort of mumble to seebs about the writey problem i'm mulling over. it turned into a raucous brainstorm session and we both ended up wide awake and laughing ourselves into a pretzel. i am now full of Ideas and Enthusiasm and Value and probably won't sleep for quite some time. i hope seebs was able to settle back down. :P

 

hmmm i want to watch a tv while i knit and cuddle my heating pad to my trouble hip. but what i most want is more 'slime' and the next ep doesn't go up til monday. anyone want to give me recs? something light-hearted and fun but unusual, without the creepy anime tropes we're all so tired of? i feel sure there's something All The Kids watched recently that i haven't, but if so, the details have slipped my mind. BNHA is too serious for me rn, as a data point.

 

thanks, guys! not what i'm in the mood for right now, but those sound like things i'll like in general.

i'm looking to get immersed in a nice place for a while, you know? so web comedy's not gonna do it. i found one about an interdimensional restaurant that's really cute, and it's not immersive enough to really get my mind off my hip but it's very soothing nonetheless. although it is making me SO HUNGRY.

i don't mind a bit of darkness if it's sort of... contained? if that makes any sense? like i wish i could watch xxxholic again for the first time, because even though there were some pretty creepy or sad moments, they stayed in their episode, they didn't make the protagonist's life depressing. mystery solved, justice or mercy applied, and then back to being jeeves for a weird godthing. it worked for me.

i'm having a real hard time going someplace where My Ass Is Stabbing Me In The Ass isn't the dominant tone of all existence, but i escaped for a while thanks to 'slime' and i fully believe there are other stories that will do the trick. *optimism face* *mr brightside plays* *parade of cats in band costumes*

 

i'm trying to play a game with myself where i summarize characters in three words exactly. for instance:

• gareth: sexy action nerd
• galley: sassy straight friend
• svetlana: angry murder puff
  
• bloodclaw the devastator: an actual pokemon
• captain valerian: area denial mom
• the duchess: one classy dame
• zuzu: orbital bowie strike
• gareth's as-yet-unnamed steward: tactical intelligence sasset

but i can't come up with a three word one for casimir. they all keep coming out too long or too tangential.

 

feeling unloved and unlovable, and very grotesque. despite being on prednisone AND indomethacin i have horrible sausage fingers, the hip is not better and i don't feel like it's getting better, and i get awful gas whenever i eat anything, which is great because my meds have to be taken with food. i feel like nothing but a pile of needs and smells. there are no comfortable positions. i've had about 2 hours of not-really-sleep. i'm just... not feeling the whole Being Alive thing today and would like to ditch this meat sack. i don't want to die, i just want to bail and live somewhere else.

 

thanks for the recs everyone, too stove up to respond in detail but much appreciate <3 <3 <3
