  1. If only yesterday took place tomorrow!
    I'd pray for sleep, and wake you and lift your head
    So I can fix your hand--I'll be your handyman.

    If I turn around, would that be my fault?
    If I turn around, would that be my loss?

    Gone are the days of young, better run for cover--
    There's no one here to save yourself when you discover
    It's hard; you don't know how to carry on.

    Tell the world I know that my mind is made:
    It's a horror show, but I'm not afraid!
    Though I won't be missed, I would say it's time
    For a different twist in the storyline.


    ...I'm fine, by the way. Just going back through some of my favorite melancholy songs. Might make a playlist.

  2. Love me a depressing banger. Nothing like questioning your entire worth while you're jamming out!

    This was written with an Esterbrook Estie Seaglass, medium nib, inked with Troublemaker Petrichor. Here's a link to the song.

    Also, I really, really hate it when I check multiple lyrics sites and they're all incorrect. Some Q-tips and due diligence go a long way, people! (Ironically, I made some mistakes of my own here--including omitting the line about mistakes. 🫠)

      That is...very much not how I was interpreting it. :mellow:

      I guess a better way to say it would be it’s a song that hurts.

      I just like songs that hurt.

      Ah, that makes more sense. 

  3. If Apple Music could stop screwing with metadata and album art all the time, that would be great.

      Hmph Apple Music. 

      Anyway... 

      Yeah. Hmph. 

  4. Does anyone else get a thrill thinking about infrastructure, or am I just autistic?

      dannnex

      i play factorio, ill always be thrilled about infrastructure

  5. One of my favorites! One of the first I ever watched, actually.
  6. The older I get the more I'm convinced a big part of maturity is not defining yourself by your tastes, fandoms, hobbies, etc. 

  7. I have only the smallest drop of Scottish ancestry in me, but I just opened the window and heard some bagpipes, and now I'm ready to don a kilt and hoist St. Andrew's Cross

    Fun fact: I do actually know how to play Scotland the Brave on piano. Just so happens that particular arrangement is called Praise to the Man. 😉

      Through the Living Wrath

      I shud - it stars Jack Black.

      Some alternatives to that are Nacho Libre and Napoleon Dynamite

      THAT'S SO AWESONE

      I love scotland and ireland

  8. I am begging humanity (the English speakers, specifically) to learn the difference between "peak" and "pique", "phase" and "faze", and I'm sure innumerable others. Nuance and literacy are already hanging by a thread in this language; I'd really prefer not to see them die in my lifetime.

      Let's add "ad" and "add" to the list. <_<

  9. Found at the local grocer. @Mag, you might appreciate this.

  10. This baby name website lost all credibility when they claimed that "Everest" was two syllables.

      yeah that's so weird xD

    3. Edema Rue

      Edema Rue

      um

      I say it two syllables

      i’d say it’s a Utah thing but…maybe not…I’ll take a study of people

    4. Slowswift

      Slowswift

      Huh.

      It never occurred to me that "Everest" could be subject to dialect. I'd be fascinated to see a survey, too.

  11. Happy birthday!

  12. Happy Easter!

     

  13. Still being up when the birds are chirping is a wild feeling.

    1. Edema Rue

      Edema Rue

      Did you, um…sleep?

       

    2. Slowswift

      Slowswift

      I did!

      Probably not as much as I should have, but I did!

    3. Edema Rue

      Edema Rue

      It’s okay, baby steps

  14. Man, this is a crap year to be a Hololive fan.

    1. shortcake

      shortcake

      like vocaloid thingy?

      (forgive me I'm dumb haha)

    2. Slowswift

      Vtubers, actually! Hololive is probably the most well-known agency currently operating, and two of their most prominent streamers just announced their departure ("graduated") within a couple weeks of each other. Two others graduated last year as well, but they resumed streaming as indies. It's been quite the rollercoaster.

  15. Happy (a little late, sorry) birthday!

    1. shortcake

      shortcake

      thank you!! (no worries, better late than never)

  16. There are three kinds of good, and they are neither mutually exclusive nor inclusive:

    1. Skillfully executed
    2. Wholesome
    3. Enjoyable

    Yes, this is my way of saying The Last Jedi was a good movie. 

  17. When the box of mac and cheese says it contains six servings:

    i-know-what-im-about-son-gif-6 • Bitches Get Riches

  18. Anyone gots some thoughts on naming characters? I have an unironic, unapologetic love for over-the-top names but I recognize the ease with which one may careen off the Cliff of Cringe.

  19. Still addicted to Bestie from the album, but yeah, that was pretty good.
  20. While I do want to commission art of these characters once I have a better foundation for the story, this is pretty impressive. And a slightly more realistic* version: Anyways, as for the writing itself, I'm inching along. Wish me luck.
  21. Happy birthday!

    1. Mags

      Mags

      Thank you!

  22. Well, not normally. Conference is All Hands On Deck Time. But yes, it is amazing.
