or like, having a sip of coffee! i don't know the last time i really paid any actual attention to that entire experience. it's just become a "thing that i do" while some tiny part of my subconscious brain acknowledges that "cofe gud"

like, if i'm in the shower and i turn up the temperature just sliiightly more than warm, everyone seems to acknowledge that feels nice, right? but it's actually amazing how much that appreciation changes if i actually pay attention to it, and not just casually disassociate the entire time

something i've been doing recently is really trying to pay attention to things i take for granted

turns out a lot of extremely mundane things are actually incredible, but my brain just backgrounds them; ignoring how mind-bogglingly satisfying they are because of how "expected" they've come to be

i've literally robbed myself of this appreciation for so long that i forgot it existed--things that, if you you mentioned them to others they'd probably roll their eyes because they're doing the same

@monorail you've got this!

@PsionicDoggo awww, thank you..! ^^

i actually did it..!

happy oshawott day everyone~ #ミジュマルの日

(hee, there's no way that tag will ever have anyone but me in it)

hee, this hash will never not make me happy

but also because of timezones, oshawott day has already been a thing in japan for almost an entire day already

it's oshawott day, and just in case my drawing motivation dries up completely and i don't post anything after i wake up today, please enjoy this early sketch

@monorail that's part of it! a lot of it is also a rhythm game competition

bms are music scripts that button-based rhythm games are based on, (like beatmania!), and events like bofu have an unreasonable number of extremely good japanese composers, both professional and hobbyist, who create music that goes with them

it's a scene that has an intersection of remix doujin circles, people who make music for games you've probably played, dedicated rhythm game composers, and a bunch of other groups!

@josh oh! welcome back..! ^^

@monorail on a more useful note, honestly, it's probably fine to follow!

even if it might come-off as for the wrong reason, they probably won't think much about it in like a week

even if they do wonder, they'll probably look at your profile and see this thread, which would explain everything

@monorail oh! that's an easy one

panic and follow, decide that was too fast and unfollow, then follow again because that probably gives the wrong idea too, then think about the situation periodically for the next two decades

(she also made the scarf!)

my girlfriend crocheted an oshawott hat for me, and it's adorable!

@aoife oh, absolutely agreed! (that's why i mentioned that last part~)

also, the difference for me is knowing at least the entirety of that vital knowledge isn't going to go up in a puff of "lol data preservation" if stack exchange ceases to exist

it's a good place for people to ask things that documentation is unclear about (or nonexistent), but as a result, that means its preservation is paramount because of just how seldomly that information finds its way back into the places it belongs

i like how i was just talking about normalizing harmless weird things, and then homestar runner just crashed through the wall like the fucken kool-aid man with two fists full of diapers

they're even patterned like abdl diapers, which only extremely recently got the ability to be printed in ways that weren't just repeating patterns
