#undertale headcanon:

violence damages the people it hurts

violence damages the people who inflict it

people can survive enacting violence on others, but the world is always a better place if violence isn't the way things go down

de-escalation is better
peace is better
whenever it is possible, it is better

and if we explore power fantasies in our games, in our media, in our dreams, we can explore one where no-one has to die

"What if the Mario Bros. games are __Peach's__ dreams? She dreams of being kidnapped, then rescued from her 'fears.'"

When I forget something it doesn’t mean

-it wasn’t important

-I don’t care

-my enthusiasm about the thing was a lie.

It does mean

-I have memory issues bc ND/fatigue

"I need a placebo reuptake inhibitor."

Perfection. If you've dreamed of a definitive electric guitar cover of Toccata & Fugue in D Minor for most of your life, as I have, know now that the number of electric guitars it takes to nail it turns out to be fifteen. https://youtu.be/wqgQ7IYhvRg

Habari gani, y'all? Today is the first day of Kwanzaa!! We focus on Umoja, or Unity, today -- how can we strive for and maintain unity in our homes, communities, and the world at large? What are we doing to unite our fellow denizens of the planet?

I wish everyone I love, or casually crush on, a blissful moment of frozen time when the moonlight filters through the ice crystals on the window, a warm heat source keeps you lazily half-dressed, and a half-eaten box of cookies lies on the floor. And in that moment, between heartbeats, you feel sure-footed - your time mired at crossroads is passed, for now. You peer into yourself - an unfathomable well of gayness - and realize you could empty yourself into this world and never run dry. We are the very strata of the planet, you and I, but then the wind blusters or the phone beeps, and the moment is lost.
What I wish, more than anything, is that you do not forget this time, or at least, keep enough of that moment to tell someone you love, "I'm so fucking gay for you and I don't think I'll ever stop."

"Now that I've captured the Chosen Hero I can exact my evil plan! First, I'll transform his body to be like my demon minions-"
"I consent."
"...What?"
"Honestly the only reason I'm out here is because my family kept telling me to man up and the like, so one day I bought a cheap sword and pretended I found it in a forest. Basically ran away with their blessing."
"uhh"
"Can I be one of those succubi? With the hips? I dream of that a lot."
"...Sure."

What are the technical terms, in your field, for 'dunno'?
In astronomy there's 'unmodelled second order effects'
In medicine there's 'idoeopathic'
In archeology/anthropology there's 'ritual purposes'
How do you professionally term 'we haven't got a clue'?

it's pretty bad and harmful in general.

be extremely critical of everything you read. check your fucking sources. and before you spread shit, like, be sure you're not playing directly into the hands of people who just want a basically innocent target to perish for malicious reasons. that's all i have to say about that

omg

My Mom got a new phone 6 months ago and only shared her new # with me and 3 others. Months later she bought a new laptop and registered Microsoft Word (which apparently requires her phone # now?). A day or two later she started getting a stream of telemarketing calls. #privacy

new disability assessment criteria: they just throw you in a lake. if you drown, you were innocent and disabled, but if you swim you're a benefit scrounger and get burned at the stake
