get Febreeze car! Now your car can have that Airing Out My Fursuit Smell! You'll feel like you're in the con hotel room even while you're stuck in traffic!

ALL THE ROOTS HANG DOWN
SWING FROM TOWN TO TOWN
THEY ARE MARCHING AROUND
RIGHT UNDER YOUR BOOTS!
ALL THE TRUCKS UNLOAD
BEYOND THE GOPHER HOLES
THERE'S A WORLD GOING ON UNDERGROUND!

The usual crankiness about jobs. The usual crankiness about fucking Amica ads; look, I already know you're insurers, and therefore have slightly less empathy than a lamprey, fuck off.

Really wish I had a cigarette.

Kind of want to start tomorrow by drawing, before launching into the job hunt. See if that feels better.

Whoo hoo! I have been inspired enough to plot out a short Dark Sun campaign, but then of course; it’s 2024, would players be interested in Dark Sun, which rules system would I run and where would I get time and motivation to run?

A take on a meme with D&D settings. The Virgin Forgotten Realms Adventurer (personally met Elminster once, +3 everything, Harper, feasts on finest whatever) vs The Chad Athasian (former anonymous quarry slave who lives in fantasy Fresno, owns a +1 scapula and ate the last of her friend 3 days ago).

Welcome to ATHAS, the D&D setting with the mightiest HATS! World of three seasons (summer, ultra-summer, and whoa-rain-makes-arroyos-impassible-but-it’s-still-summer) where it’s been Thursday for the last several centuries! A world where any item a player character might want is spelled with at least one extra k and an apostrophe!

Fish and chips at Spud, a used 4e book, a text based MU* earlier today. If the CD deck in my car still worked I’d use that, too. I am old and things I love belong to a world increasingly lost in the past.

seriously thinking of expressing tmi

I slept for over 8.5 hours, waking up to use the bathroom exactly once, and I feel emotionally low and physically not great.

This is a weird theory but I might argue that most anthro animals are highly symbolic - their forms are specifically neither animal nor human as an IDEALIZATION.

I think that's part of how ferals were a lot more popular in 90s fandom - ferals are more recognition and representation of human AS animal (or in the case of therians, a quadruped animal self image is very intentionally NOT an idealization), less very derived animal traits as a shorthand for idealized humans. If that one makes sense?

dude! It's that OTHER part of the movie where Neo fights that one dude!

okay, to be fair ALL Juno Reactor is potentially the part of the movie where Neo fights that one dude

when you're the OWoD kwisatz haderach you get into lots of punchouts, okay?

this is of course before Neo meets Colonel Harlan Sanders who explains that originally the Matrix only came in original flavor and didn't include any sides, but The Oracle insisted that for stability they make a spicy option

whoa

it's like the part of the movie where Neo meets that one dude and there's a punchout

you know, before the part where Neo meets that OTHER nimrod and they fight

and then suddenly KA-STEINEM!

right in the gender!

he was big and strong
in his eyes a flaming glow
most people looked at him
with terror and with fear
but to moscow chicks he was such a lovely dear

* any Werewolf the Apocalypse game if played in certain ways is effectively indistinguishable from Shadowrun

* any high energy Juno Reactor track is effectively indistinguishable from the part of Cirque du Soleil where all the cast is running across the stage/rolling across in big hoops/etc

it took me years to realize that this old folksong was NOT about one of the many struggles for Irish independence

I couldn't find anything significant about May 14 (turns out to simply rhyme)

but instead the young man who dies sadly perished of VD.

and who does mama teach
to mend and tend and fix
preparing for to marry
whoever papa picks?
POTATO! POTATO!
TRADITION!
KARTOFFELN! KARTOFFELN!
TRADITION!

gower wassail, gower wassail, from out of the town
our cup it is white and our ale is brown
our wassail is made from the finest horse-shit
some nutmeg and ginger add flavor to it
