Addendum, while on the pot I realized that technically “They-Men” would accurately refer to more than one He-Man, for example if you had multiple action figures to reflect different eras of manufacture or Laser Power He-Man, Anti-Eternia He-Man, and regular Very Gay He-Man.

New cap idea; WOMEN WANT ME FISH FEAR ME BUT NOT THE ACCURSED WHITE WHALE ARRR. Sadly “I see in him outrageous strength sinewed by an inscrutable malice” won’t fit even on a stovepipe.

Last point is that I feel part of being a whole person is realizing stuff I like can be crap; it doesn’t need to be objectively good or completely unproblematic for me to like it, I gotta acknowledge both aspects.

Addendum;

One way to crack this might be separating conditions and specifics. Specifics are easy to handle; I can still listen to Nirvana and Soundgarden, arcades still exist, 90s TTRPG stuff is findable, and I can get bi bim bop. Conditions are harder but also not necessarily 90s only; I can never be young and exploring the world again, I can try to schedule OWoD games, and all I can do about rising fascism is vote, write, and hope.

This article about 90s nostalgia wasn't what I wanted. It was basically "things you idealize about the 90s were kinda crappy" and that doesn't help; nostalgia is that some of the stuff WASN'T crap and other stuff WAS sheer unmitigated crap, but there's good feelings associated with it regardless of quality.

I think what I want is something to help make peace with nostalgia, that it's okay to miss stuff in the past but to realize that my life experience is more than just those good (or at least well remembered) times, the same way it's more than just the horrible crap. That my experience has been enriched by two more decades and I can come back to the old stuff with new perspective (including "this is shit, but I enjoy the associations" or "this is actually pretty damn good"). The "life is additive, inclusive rather than subtractive and exclusive" thing I learned on psychadelics.

This runs into some personally difficult places for me. The 80s were largely this gray haze of depression and dissociation, trapped in my parents' house or at school for the most part with a few little bright spots outside. The 2000s and later have meant facing less and less prosperity, more and more hardship, and aging. And exploring the world for the first time, as much as it leads to dire regrets, is exciting; it's hard not to idealize the 90s all out of proportion. And my PTSD/CPTSD means I'm really not good at the sort of long term thinking that helps in putting the past into perspective with a future that's perceived as other than nonexistant, shortened or bleak.

One #drawing today, a sorta Larry Elmore adventurer hides or plots an ambush for a big armored ogre or giant.

this fish is pretty good, but I should've made skordalia to go with it

forgot the Beasties sampled the start of "Superfly" for "Eggman" and now have to listen to that

not like the crack that you put in a pipe
but CRACK! on your face, here's a towel
NOW WIPE!

The idea of using action figures to be dreadnoughts and old Epic minis as servitors so you’d have Space Marines with little Space Marines and lumbering huge Space Marines as your army.

No, no I’m not interested in No Nut November, I said I wanted to do Doughnut December.

Dude! For paying a super rich right winger a mere $8 monthly, I could scoop a few lawyers, an entomologist and a disability advocate (so clearly people who need less visibility), as being the only Twitter user with my wallet name (which I don’t like and would also make it easier for my HS bullies to find me again).

Such a bargain, why would I want to get a huge vanilla oat milk latte (plus tip) instead?

Crocodiles don’t have kneecaps which means gangsters can’t threaten them easily. Snakes obviously don’t have kneecaps. Since Zootopia’s plot relies on organized crime, Disney scriptwriters intentionally left reptiles out of Zootopia. *nods energetically*

No Nut November, the first of the food allergy themed months followed by Milk Substitute December and Gluten Free January.

HPL; the stuff in Pickman’s paintings was beyond all sane comprehension but rendered with spectacular realism!

Maybe not all but a significant number of working illustrators and artists today; *render stuff beyond all sane comprehension with spectacular realism*

I don't want to talk to customers. I don't want to talk to my landlords. I'm at the combination don't want to talk to customers and don't want to talk to landlords.

wish I could take today off just 'cause of stress

I have no idea what my life will be like if I ever make it out of here.
