kirby and link are fucking treasures, and I'm not pretending like I dont have some privilege. but i'm allowed to just. be sad sometimes.

like, I do have a lot to be happy about, but celebrating tiny victories can only get me so far.

and its shockingly not all animal related, I got a raise at work not long ago, which technically put me above the poverty line. but, yknow, this is america. so that's meaningless.

losing heathcliff was rough, and the anniversary of my dog's passing hit like a fucking truck.

i'm gonna be real for a minute, and maybe a bit heavy for people, so i guess consider that your trigger warning, but this year, so far, has been really, really hard for me.

i've rewatched the 7.5 trailer a few times and i've seen a lot of questions asked but one I haven't seen is WHY IS GOLBEZ THERE??? DO WE GET TO BE BESTIES WITH GOLBEZ??

for the record, that beef patty is 100% a bubba burger. your guess is as good as mine on the rest of this abomination.

i mean, shit, if we're going to drag kids into meaningless wars, at least fucking feed them? thanks for fighting for your country, here's a shimmering slab of something? a microwaved beef patty and some carrots we found under the fridge.

the worst people you know are about to have some very strong opinions about vtubers

i'll sit here and criticize ffxiv all day, but by the end of it i've grown way too attached to my goofy little catgirl and the cavalcade of clowns ive met along the way.

dawntrail was good, very good, even. but it just didn't capture me the same way that endwalker did. I'm looking forward to 7.5, but i'm looking forward to 8.0 more.

I think after all this time, endwalker is still the peak for XIV for me, it closed the story in a satisfying way, and indulged me and my obsession with FF4. It let us meet the twelve, and we even got to see my gay babies again both in the msq and the ultimate.

i cannot express enough that I need more friends that watch the amazing digital circus I want to talk about it SO FUCKING BADLY

youre asking for squenix to make a wise financial decision, we all know that's just ridiculous.

i'm not gonna go on a rant, I just genuinely hope that TADC'S theater release goes well, and makes a billion dollars, everyone that worked on the show deserves it.

like, I wont go see it, I didn't with iron lung, and I won't with TADC, but it's so cool knowing that it's right there, across the street. It's kind of bittersweet in a way, cause I'm like. aged way far out of their targeted demographics.

this is genuinely so fucking cool man? like I admit initially i wasn't a huge fan of the theater release of the TADC finale being 2 weeks before the youtube premier but like, idk, seeing something that's, in the general scope of animation, so small end up in theaters? that's fucking cool as hell.

we have a shitload of bottled water so it's more inconvenient than anything tbh but honestly yeah this is starting to get ridiculous

oh hey apparently it is. that's cool

24 hours without running water now!! corporate owned apartments are so cool!!!

he's writing him a poem that's going to make everyone in the vicinity really, really uncomfortable.

if you have a democrat campaigning in your area, show up, demand to ask questions. ask them how they feel about abortion, lgbtq rights, everything. Put the fucking pressure on them. they won't get better if we dont get mad.

I know complaining about trump isn't enough, and ultimately we're probably gonna have to vote for a democrat who also kind of sucks in a lot of the same ways

donald trump is not fit to be the president, plain and simple. he's too old, he's showing signs of severe dementia, and god willing he's only got a few months left on this earth.

i know next to nothing about how the pope ends up in that position, but I doubt it has much to do with the current president of the united states. and even if it did, I doubt they'd take the word of a belligerent old man.

he's openly admitted to sexual assault, even hinted that it was directed towards girls, and now he's gone on a rant against the pope? in what scripture is this man even remotely holy?

again, as someone who was raised catholic, I struggle to see the appeal of trump. he's vulgar, frankly kind of stupid, and despite claiming the bible is his favorite book, can't even quote a verse that resonates with him.

okay, I do feel like I should follow that up with some actual thoughts because despite everything there is at least two braincells rocking between my ears.

anyway, good job, you assholes. you elected the literal antichrist because he promised he'd make gas cheaper. and he fucked that up too.

actually if you just google "signs of the antichrist" you're just gonna get a list of his "accomplishments"
