update; having listened to all of Powerslave I'm now listening to all of Peace of Mind.

If I suddenly declare my intent to run an AD&D game (4d6-lowest, you get one 18 free, single classed demihumans can advance to 2-4 levels higher than the rules give), you'll understand why.

As more musical background;

I grew up with access to either my Dad's mostly-classical music, or whatever was on the top 40s stations. This didn't include what kids were SUPPOSED to listen to (as indicated by bullying) - namely, COOL bands. Like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, AC/DC and uh... Led Zeppelin?

Anyway, growing older, Priest and AC/DC largely aren't my thing, but I'm delighted that Maiden is pretty much everything 15 year old me wanted, and Zeppelin really fits who I am now. It's nice.

meat eating orchids forgive no-one just yet
cut yourself on angel's hair and baby's breath
broken hymen of your highness I'm turned black
throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
HEY
WAIT
I GOT A NEW COMPLAINT
forever in debt to your priceless advice

Froggle Rack, about anthro frogs with strangely outsized busts

Given how well I didn't sleep last night and general background stress, the "you are actually a TERRIBLE PERSON!" thoughts are unsurprising, relatively easy to dismiss as specious, and still pretty annoying.

it's time to practically hyperventilate at any video of a cat rolling on the floor and mewing! Something which surely never happens!

Wanna know a WWII film I'd like to see? Would be a Battle of Britain/Red Wings type thing based off "Big Week," where the bomber campaign is simply a feint to pull German fighters, with the Germans scrambling to adapt their tactics.

... and basically it'd be 2 hours of awesome planes.

WA has a lot of really cool stuff about 1-2 hours away, and I'm now finding that it works as a stand-in for road tripping but I wish I could take longer trips.

one thing to come out of the OGL 1.x flap is initial confirmation of my suspicions; following in the footsteps of 2e and 4e, 6e will be a great edition with some amazing innovations which will be largely despised.

@typhlosion that would be me right now. Some sorta anxiety, maybe response to cold.

@kistaro I'm really sorry this is being a terrible mood crash. I know that there's this subtle difference between being able to get to the thought, "I know I'm not actually that awful," and actually *accepting* that thought.

#drawings today; two adventurers find a surprise dragon lurking in the ruins. Two more adventurers (dwarf grenadier/petardier and lizard folk monk).

@Pathia gross, hope it clears up, soon.

sometimes it rains inside my head
till the words run dry
the walls are breathing, hands are reaching up
to touch my thighs
no, they don't have to take you away
no, they don't have to take you away

@SummerJackel Thank you. And literally it's this really *weird* marginalized space that's hard to characterize - plus, since I had the less typical experience of growing up in the southeast, so I may be a lot more sensitive than folks who grew up in more supportive communities.

suddenly I realized where Graeme Revell sounded familiar.

"But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right."

there's something very freeing in typing up a huge rant (in this case, yep, about antisemitism) then deleting it

(because you feel like it, not because you feel that you're not permitted to say it, that is)
