oh no

In all, I think that article is possibly the best representation of NZ, physically and mentally, that I've ever read. The description of our amenability to malign but important outsiders due to any such attention feeling like a cat getting it's tummy scratched is spot on.

It also mentions the lefty prevalence of "it's fine, we have Jacinda now", despite that being due to the nationalist Winston Peters (although he comes across better than he should by being in opposition to Peter Thiel).

eg, "I was standing next to Byrt, who’d picked me up from the airport and, in a gesture I would come to understand as quintessentially Kiwi, dragged me directly up the side of a volcano."

Ang and I joke that visitng NZ can be summed up w/ "climb this hill, it's important to me". The article then includes a photo from almost the exact same spot as one I took with her.

This whole article, about seeing New Zealand as an escape pod for the apocalypse, is A Lot. It... it captures a lot of feelings I have, and not just about that particular subject.

okay yes, in the Black Cat Club universe, even outside the main cast, I do already have
- two big-dicked mermaids who swim around in a pool of their own cum
- a nurse character with an oral fixation so intense her tongue is a cock sometimes
- an extra-level sub character who is not-infrequently literally pasted to the wall for TF/egging stuff
(not to mention the cum-focussed all of Hive Mind)

BUT

What About More Tho??

Okay so, what if I created two new characters as TF OCs, one who super leaned in to the cum fetish stuff, and another who was focused on emphasising the parts of TF that are super hot for me that *aren't* to do with cum (or cum-analogues, like eggs or whatever).

Not as me-characters, as I feel I already have that, but like, subject characters.

I dunno, having fun with some ideas there.

Peace

It's just a cough and a croaky throat I think, so I just need to last long enough to get some cough syrup and then tonight I'll sink into a nice warm bath, rather than trying to hang out with coworkers at the bar again

I think I am officially Coming Down With Something, which is great for day 2 of a work trip

The person in the cubicle next to me has transitioned seamlessly from talking about a friend's daughter who died suddenly to "I heard an owl last night"

Update: Christmas was good actually

Long walks on the beach

At the motel up by the beach in Whangaparoa, which has thankfully lived up to expectations of being rather nice. Time to kick back and chill with @angrboda for the next few days!
