it's such a tease because i want to feel like this when i have free time!
that way i can actually make something cool!
it's like i have this innate magical reserve of midnight oil that only appears when it's Actually Midnight
kink event, fetishes
maybe i need to host my own munch?
that way at least the local people who are kinky know about us... that would probably be an Extremely Good first step
basically, i'm pretty well known here, and i don't know of anyone who dislikes me. maybe i can use that to shift perceptions...at least locally..!
i talked to some others and i think there is probably a lot i can do to help our case
kink event, fetishes
this is a world where watersports are normal
this is a world where age play is cool
but diapers without either of those things are strange?
there's nothing harmful about them, they are technically sfw, they are passive, and a large portion of the population wears them
it's also a thing most people seem to be fine with after they know about it, but the initial reactions are Just Bad
we aren't bad, we're just weird, we're just human
i wonder how i can help our case here..?
kink event, fetishes
i'm pretty good with people irl, but it's really something when a certain kink is jarring for people at a kink event
i mean, i managed to turn it around pretty quickly, but those first few moments were unmistakable
this is the second time in two days where i seem to have stuck out among all other kinks in a Not Good Way--i wonder if there is a way i can be honest about my weird without that?
part of me hopes diapers become common enough so we at least have some visibility
kink event, fetishes
i went to another munch on fetlife and had some pretty good conversations with people
this was cool
partway into one conversation, we started mentioning our our kinks. everyone was cool with everything said--but when it got to me and i said "diapers", the rest of the group just...stopped talking
this wasn't so cool
it seems to have worked out in the end though because most of them wanted to friend me on The Internet™ afterwards
but...that initial reaction was jarring
@Nystre huh! nice to see you in the local timeline here!
welcome..!
self-scrutiny
huh... i seem to have this problem where i selfishly assume bad things that happen around me *are* about me
i should try to notice when i do this, because it will turn me into a drama llama if i'm not careful
of course, i still need to be empathetic, but i really should be careful i don't cause more problems than the ones which actually exist by willing them into being
it's staggering how many things i drew that i am proud of that were actually complete accidents
kink event, fetishes
earlier today, i went to a femdom event, and the gender ratio was...remarkably unsurprising
besides the organizer, there were only two girls there
i like to think i am really good with people, but i wonder how much i need to step up my game to have a chance with ratios like this when i like diapers and most people at kink events find them "meh"
so, i got distracted and missed my stop on the train by a long shot
i didn't really get disappointed though--i just decided to go and use that as an excuse to grab groceries instead
is this the programmer in me? i wonder how many bugs i turn into features?
i mean, i seem to make a lot of mistakes that i actually legitimately use for other things
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
(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
oh hi! i do computers, and sometimes draw stuff~ i like lo-fi things and cute aesthetics!
i also probably like you
