see if I actually lived in the Jurassic Parkverse, I would not want to take big resort vacations to see huge dinosaurs, I would like to adopt all the small stuff. Can I have a pet Yi qi? Could I have a Psittacosaurus to hug on?

etc etc

and it would be a COMPLETELY TERRIBLE IDEA.

This is all about growing up in this grinding incessant context of punishment; as a kid I had exactly no way to judge that something not actually intended as a punishment wasn't just more being punished. It's got exactly nothing to do with holidays or religion except this is another place it happened in childhood.

holidays certainly help with realizing how much space in my brain is taken up with;

"I MUST do something I'm not really interested in/so even without an authority as negative as in childhood, my assumptions kick in/this mandatory thing is good but between how I don't want to do it and how I'm innately BAD, I'll invariably fail/and when I do so I'll be punished, probably disproportionately/so now I have even less interest in doing it, and therefore more certainty I'll fuck up and be punished."

@Tuftears Thank you! There's still stuff I want to do better, but I don't have a really good idea of what that is yet, if that makes sense.

@Kusimanse 18th century stuff seemed appropriate!

@Tuftears Okay (tell me to shut up if you need); apparently Montalban's family was from CORdova, rather than the usual pronunciation corDOva, so people overheard him saying the name a lot. Apparently he sounded cool enough that the ad agency made up "Corinthian" as a description for the leather upholstery so they'd get to use him saying COR anything.

@eredien I mean, having a summoned vrock work for you is *basically* a parrot.

@Tuftears I was listening to the Wrath of Khan soundtrack at the time! I've actually heard an interview with Ricardo Montalban in which he actually explained the whole "rich Corinthian leather" deal.

#drawings today just a page of furries and furry portraits.

in about 80 minutes, I made three different banchan for lunch this coming week, and pasta with (Russian/Ukranian) meat sauce for dinner (plus about one meal of leftover meat sauce)

I also cleaned up some fridge fossils, unloaded the dryer, cleaned most of the dishes involved in cooking, etc.

Bleah

#drawings from yesterday while visiting my mom

#drawing from Thursday before stuff pissed me off too much for me to post it.

"there are more of these small footprints"
"great, we're gonna make camp in the middle of a pixie nest"
"pixies can be okay"
"we're gonna be up all night with them singing about HERE COMES YOUR MAN"
