Just to make sure I wasn't crazy about a term, I looked it up.
Yeah, I get it.
@sc I see and acknowledge that it hurt you. That I can easily offer.

@Momentrabbit Self-care is hard.
@sc I must confess, it didn't hurt me. By the end, I was actually giggling a bit. I did say "bathos."
Then again, I'm used to being the oddity in this kind of situation. My emotional responses are... statistical outliers even under the best of circumstances.
@sc Another Marvel character renown for "watching" (a.k.a. observing the fate of the known universe and not doing much else). Probably possesses power cosmic, hasn't shown up in the films yet. Gets replaced with Nick Fury in the comic books at one point.
My point is more that I was not emotionally moved by the ending of A:IW and by the end, I found it more bathos than pathos. So much is clearly going to be undone in the sequel that I found it difficult to get invested in the tragedy.
@sc No, I'm Uatu the Watcher observing with an smdh emoji on the interdimensional cell-phone.
@sc I have skewed standards.
@sc Best comedy 2018.
@Mous What's your fancy for styles? I can make some suggestions.
If you want "local flavor" and you like seafood, Crab Pot in Bellevue or down on the waterfront is my go-to for not-too-expensive good fare, but my understanding of "expensive" is skewed.
@Momentrabbit It wasn't the best of plans. Mistakes were made. Swamp gas? Weather balloon?
... okay, yeah, maybe I should take my meds. I've only eaten six fun-sized candy bars and three mini-croissants on top of half a lunch today.
... okay, bird, you get to listen to Glosoli once.
Once.
If that doesn't cut it, maybe you should use your other tools.
@kelseyhusky I'll try to keep the wave-collapser focused on "rocked."

@adeptomega I'm sorry for whatever part of that is my doing. I see your pain.
@srol I live with five other people and I do this anyway.
I need a day to sit with my raw nerves and soothe them and kiss what parts of self I can reach and remind myself that what I'm doing _is_ Work, even if the form of its manifestation in the world isn't flashy or showy. It's investing in my own well-being and my own sense of self. The byproducts of that self-reification are the stories I weave, and those stories have touched people and made lasting changes in the world.
This is just going to be one of those days in which I feel like I'm two-hundred years too early to be seen for myself and a thousand years too late to be taken seriously as a lost alien.
@kelseyhusky "Filtration of iron, digestion of gold, dissolution of lead."
The Beta-chassis cocked her head and swirled her ears. "What's that mean?"
The bird's beak quirked up at the corners in avian approximation of a smile. "Refinement of hard work, steady application of will, union with the Great Work. I guess you'd say, 'You deserve a break today.'"
