@amagire the wine is a constant?

This morning’s weird thought in between customers;

Stuff which definitely aren’t terrestrial animals but are much more the status of commonly known mythology exist as Otherkin types (fictivekin, vampires, unicorns). The pre-Ostrom view of theropods and JW’s take on dromaeosaurs aren’t accurate but are huge enough to be big mythical archetypes, so could there be out there people whose kin type is, f’rex, “Jurassic Park scaled ‘raptor” rather than “actual literal manaraptoran”?

The paradox of tolerance; if Theseus is in a deep cave, watching projections on the wall, and then over time the cave changes and the projections are legit fascists, is it still the Twitter account Theseus signed up for?

uh I think I’m remembering it wrong somewhere

@vyruem f’rex recently I realized that a huge trigger for me was artifactual; I mess something up because I haven’t been told how to do it (easy misunderstanding from people who assume someone else told me or have been doing it long enough to be an assumption), and get mocked or yelled at as result (my nitpicky coworker is merely nitpicky). A few really extreme or intentional incidents meant every time that happened as a kid became this thing I thought was a trap, a bad trigger.

it's just amazing how many things which upset me no end either don't persist for that long, or they're not really crucial, but childhood messages persist;

it's quite possible the stuff that upset me as a kid wasn't really that big either, but when I was small I didn't know that my every possible mistake or display of crankiness *wasn''t* going to become some huge screaming tirade about how worthless or stupid I was, or hours, days of ridicule. And I didn't have a distinctly long life telling me that whatever disaster I'd run into *wasn't* the rest of my then-very short life.

This of course is complicated by how I didn't know that I *didn't* deserve the mistreatment. (At least I'm *probably* past that set of assumptions.)

the insomnia fairy is visiting again

so hey, if you played a monk subclass deeply linked to the Elemental Plane of Water

would they be a Water Monk-ee, or would they be a Deep Friar?

@GraySpots Honestly, I think Dance of the Hours rates second best because it's just really good as animation. Best is Rite of Spring though.

#drawing - the centaur is from earlier, and Harkon Lukas (from Ravenloft, canonically though he’s a violinist I think?) from today. Not fantastic but drawing past an art block (lots of earlier unfinished stuff not shown).

@owashii@plush.city I'm not sure *why* we seem so inclined to get stoned as an ethnicity.

listened to The Sorcerer's Apprentice, but since that's from the third best sequence in Fantasia, I am currently listening to the music from the BEST part of Fantasia.

@owashii@plush.city chag sameach!

Snow meant bailing out on my parents early, but my dad got a windfall of shittakes… which he doesn’t like, so I got a windfall of shittakes. I used them to make mushroom gravy for some meatballs I’d made and needed to use up. I also started marinading pork, made green borscht with sorrel, and made skordalia so I can have it over fried cod later this week.

@candleglow Chag sameach!

Watched Alexander Nevsky enough times to quote the movie along with the soundtrack *except* the point at which I go into “Thripshaw’s Disease discovered by me, E Henry Thripshaw! I’ll show them at the Royal College of Surgeons!”

@owashii@plush.city thanks! Any more I could say is long and weird sounding so I’ll hold off for now.

There's so much I don't know about how to make pictures, I'm having one of those simultaneously inspired but intimidated moments about that.
