@AnubysIshtar do eeeet!

be free!

@AnubysIshtar hee, yeah!

i still catch myself saying things like "retweet" though. but then again, i don't really like the word "toot" much. awoos are far superior!

and yeah, i feel you. i felt super-uncomfortable around most people, because i'm not exactly a paragon of normalcy myself

but talking openly about your weirdest parts helps a lot i found

@AnubysIshtar there's no need to hold back..!

try not to trap yourself in the expectations you are trying to escape

that's why content warnings are cool! they mean you don't really need to worry about that if you think you are going Too Extreme

so, of course be nice to others--but also be nice to yourself!

@AnubysIshtar owoooooo!

@AnubysIshtar also true, but what prompted this was that it's really not obvious that these two things are 100% unrelated

@AnubysIshtar this is true

but it's also a good distinction to not have to make

@vahnj that's...a good idea, i might just do this

another thought: maybe i should retweet what i was responding to first?

hmm...but that can potentially get into "rewooing things i don't endorse" territory

is there a mastodon convention for dot-replying, like on twitter?

is it usually seen as good form to leave the @ in and add a dot before it, or is it preferable to delete it and let the scope handle it

i ask because it seems kinda hard to see what some things are responses to, but it also seems redundant

super-late, but i don't sign anything i draw because i think my signature looks ugly and detracts from it

then again, i'm weird because i also don't mind if people take my work--but get Really Mad when i see someone posting someone else's stuff without permission

(i know the cut-off text thing doesn't work on mastodon, but i'm going to go ahead and use it anyway)

*writes 10 lines of code. gets to inbox zero*
oh no, i should try hard to be extra productive tomorrow...

*doesn't finish zelda for months*
i am the worst fan of this series that has ever existed, i probably shouldn't even call myself a fa

i mean, one of these things is obviously something i *should* feel more guilty about--but my brain disagrees..?

like, i do feel bad if i'm not productive during a work day, but somehow its worse when i haven't played a game i really wanted for more than a month

why do i feel more guilty not playing games than i do when not doing actual work?

i mean like, sure i would want to avoid that, but it would be far from the end of the world

i think i've gotten to a point where i'm confident enough in myself that i would be fine with taking out the trash if it showed up in my life

if someone is just going to try and be terrible to me, why should i force myself to be subjected to them?

i have friends and family i can choose to surround myself with instead--and i shouldn't feel guilty cutting ties with the toxic

in the shower, i was running though situations in my mind about what i would do if worst came to worst and that all of my secrets were exposed to everyone i knew...

and...i wasn't terrified??

anyway, excuse me while i play more super mario on my nintendo console while enjoying my coffee with sugar in it

pokemon is a super-good example of this i think

heck... i used to pretend i hated pikachu because it was too popular. but now? i love that electric rodent

i like how my 20s so far have basically been me liking the same things i was sure i'd grow out of--except with less teenage angst

@VoxSomniator nah. making things is Extremely Cool and Good!
