Social Anxiety/Empath Stuff
@Oneironott @Roady_Dragonfae @emanate Definitely. I used to do a lot more with shielding, and I still should probably get back into that habit.
I've had /some/ good advice/practice in the past from a friend regarding stuff like that.
Muppets, Ok Go
Oh my gosh Mawr I need to put together a heartfelt original Muppet Movie night sometime, with absolutely no shame attached for either singing along to all the songs, or crying during it. ^_^
Plurality; Multiplicity
For a while, I was really enamored with gem fusion (see Steven Universe) as a metaphor for my selves and integration.
That's changed a bit; as they individuate more and more, I'm much more often just one at a time.
However, today I find myself a bird with electrical affinity instead of fire, and realize that this is likely a fusion between Lai and Yori (so, Yorai?) It's an interesting mindspace to explore, and I should think about the others in combination too.
A thought-experiment
@amalgam That's a really good question I don't have a good answer to right now. o.o

Social Anxiety/Empath Stuff
@Roady_Dragonfae Yeeeeees. I used to have this /constantly/. Still do sometimes (I still vastly over-read body language and tone), but the only thing that ever dampened the feeling was starting on antianxiety meds.
Doesn't mean all of the effect was /just/ my anxiety, but it still helped.
Muppets, Ok Go
@KawaSeadrake @mawr I personally have a /lot/ of heartfelt feelings about the original Muppet Movie, though I didn't see much of the show growing up. We had the film soundtrack on vinyl and I listened to it a /lot/. Also all the other films were great!
Optimistic but mixed feelings about the 2011 film, and even more so about the recent not-good show, but good to see them still creating either way. :-)
Muppets, Ok Go
@KawaSeadrake Pfffahahaha, yeah, I needed that.
Damn, I forgot this had so many OK Go music video in-jokes. :-P
Music, Psychadelic video
@KawaSeadrake You know, I've seen this multiple times, but I think that's the first time I really got a handle on the story. And it's real creepy. :-P

@phenokage I saw those stickers, and was wondering about that one! :-P
@starkatt Hmmm. Market Spice in Pike Place Market is known for their tea which is heavy in orange oil. Maybe they sell it seperate as well?
@Roady_Dragonfae Ooooh. 🔥🔥🔥
I've seen forges like that, and pouring castings. Pretty fire!
@Leucrotta I have a different association with the song (but also with the film). Years back at an FC talent show, someone in a wolf mask tap-dancing and doing a fancy-dress routine to the song. It was good, but it was the extended version of the song that went repetitively on for about 6 minutes.
And then he did it again, for Conifur. And then again the next year for FC. Same routine, same song. -_-
light lewd talk
@Oneironott Yes hi hello. :-D
about nerd subculture
@Leucrotta Books?! Aren't those like, mostly adaptations of film and TV? Books are for ner...oh, wait.

@Dex @emanate @phenokage @irisjaycomics When I was a dragon, and even when not, my motto was generally "you're a dragon if you say you are, that's all that's needed."
@Dex @emanate @phenokage @irisjaycomics It isn't necessarily a phase! If you're a dragon than you're a dragon. Maybe you'll be something else eventually, maybe not. :-)
