things are going FINE!! totally FINE!

well okay since learning the trap in ISAT was the "if you feel safe you die" trap (or something like that)... I was curious if I just walked through the hallway if it would go off because I don't feel safe... it does. Sorry Sifferin :c

It's that time of the year again! 🤩🤩🤩

- Time loop ✅
- Anxious enby ✅
- Trauma ✅
- Amazing pixel art ✅
- great dialogue ✅
- Even more trauma, just so much trauma ✅✅✅✅✅✅✅ 😊

I feel like I only land here is when I get a new obsession but... oh my god, In Stars and Time is exactly my shit 😭😭

that's such a cute outfit!

Seeing recs for Frieren everywhere and I started it and it IS good.... But partner mentioned "ohhhh this is where the 'justified racism' comes in" on the last arc we watch and oh my godddd it's such a a real comment and really came out of left field for me

a bunch of small robots looking up at a very shinny robot. the shinny robot points downwards and the other robots kneel

wooster: Well! This looks promising! mettelmind: A promising disaster! can you not see it?! wooster: um... no mettlemind: They are building! Designing! Diaz: Spitting in the face of the creator! Mezzasalma: warping science! wooster: ....so.... meetelmind: THEY'RE TAKING OUR JOBS! Diaz: We are doomed! Mezzasalma: DOOOOOOMED! wooster: Nonsense. These things are but tools! new, complex tools, yes, but surely there are unique strengths that we, as men of science, and provide- that these little mechanisms can not. Mezzasalma: oh. well certainly- meetelmind: well.. Diaz: perhaps... Moloch: AAAAH! I've seen this before! They'll start by being helpful, and then they'll build something terrible that will kill us all!

All three scientests shout: DOOOOOOMED! before an explosion happens.

i will say, these panels from 2009 are kinda unreal reading in 2025 with all the generative ai nonsense going around these days. weird echo.

kinda unreal that girl genius webcomic has been ongoing since 2002 and I get to catch up like 6 years worth of comics since I stopped reading it :D

Short hair again, my beloved

I've done both, but currently it's the audiobooks

I keep looking at that and being like "well at least there won't be long before more" 😂

I'm just glad to have finished foxglove summer. I stalled out on that one like three times but now I am just devouring the rest!

Works still on fire

But really getting through the rivers of London series. I'm not going to know what to do with myself once I catch up 😭

God the way they cram themselves together is SO creepy!! It's like "oh I didn't know it would be worse when the zombies aren't moving" but somehow they did it!!

Amazing acting and story telling but totally agree with you! It's a lot!!

Oh man yeah, the zombies are so unsettling in Kingdom!! I love the setting and historical!zombies but o.o they are some of the scarier zombies I've seen in a while.

It's not even like this book isn't just mystery case stuff but like.... It actually connects to an overarching plot in a way the two novellas did not

Ohhhh, I was doing so well making through the two novellas between RoL book 5 and 6 but now I'm on book 6 and dying. I just want case fic ;__;

Aww, so I'm onto novella 5.5 about a cousin and loooove how much character voice is in the narration (13y girl) but even more how the footnotes they got a different narratior (old man voice) to do the footnotes as he explains what "sus" means. Delightful choice!

I've made it through book 5 of rivers of london 🦾🦾🦾

Like on one hand know the social interaction is good for me. On the other, oh the relief DND is cancelled and I don't have to be social 😔

Genuinely I'll just listen to books I'm 30s intervals because I cannot deal with this!! Some reason, audio hits me harder on this stuff than reading physical words. I'm dyinnnnnggggg.

and all the fic is tagged "post-lied sleeping" so it'd be really nice to at least get to that book... 🥺🥺

I can feel the molasses pull of not finishing this book because I don't want the characters to be betrayed so if I don't read that part maybe they be cool and not do it!! But also I'm like **multiple** books behind

Happily that job is like 7 years behind so at least there's that?

Oof, okay well that is a decent wakeup call

Me: my last job wasn't that bad. Like it wasn't good but it wasn't that bad.
S: it LITERALLY sent you to the hospital :|
Me: ....mmmmmm.. it... sounds pretty bad when you say it like that......

Also feeling terribly teased of - folks on tumblr talking about ace!nightingale being canon in latest book (idk if I really believe them) but AO3 has a true lack of fic with that 😔 there's a few but... more please....

Getting through rivers of london again and just please let this reread wave carry me through foxglove summer I've reread the series twice to that point but always lose it there 🤞🤞

Ahh Rivers of London always reminds me how I feel reading and listening to audiobooks are largely interchangable:

I got to one of the later books when I was listening through and I was like "but I've read this one before!! How do I not have it??" turns out I had the ebook not the audiobook lol.

Wow I really am just hopping between books. Now relistening to Rivers of London... Still haven't made it past foxglove summer but I'm still restarting at book 1 rather than picking up there.

I just like rereading things u_u esp with work being a bit of a nightmare my brain is just going blehhhhhhhh

On one hand I want to ask for murder mystery recs... On the other I have like a million Agatha Christie books I could be reading...
