Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@hystericempress That possibility, what I had not thought of, will now have me up all night. Thanks a lot sis. -_-

Any other mood I previously had has been completely overwritten by my envy of whoever has these mochi donuts. >__<

Pastries with weird colorful frosting are one of my big weak spots.

@hystericempress @mmsword @zx3 I've been thinking about this, and I mean... they could even have preserved the black comedy of the show by having Rick find genuine enlightenment and remorse, admit that he's been fucking it all up and his philosophy is narcissistic and bankrupt... and then have some random mishap reset him to his old self. That would've been fine. It would have at least confirmed for us: Rick-as-he-is is no oppressed hero, he's a fuckup.

@JulieSqveakaroo @001zlnv relevant; hopefully not in bad taste

@mmsword I kinda wish there were an Adventures of Beth and Summer and Sometimes Morty Is There Too edit. -_-

Dammit Rick and Morty is still extremely well plotted and scripted and it's every bit as buttheadedly male powertrip centric as it was before.

I think I'm gonna keep watching it but I'm gonna hate myself a little and this is probably the last you'll hear about the show here for a long, long time.

Wish we had enough time to make fun of R&M in the comic but we just don't. I guess having a female lead who's not a trophy/comic foil is rebuttal enough. -_-

overshot bus rt to cafe and am now @ audobon zoo

v tempted to just surrender to local authorities and see if theyll put me up in a nice low rent space raccoon exhibit

i am lovable and housebroken and mostly just eat discarded plastics

peg could get a season pass or maybe find some digs in the v. rare reptiles house

@JulieSqveakaroo Sadly, not really, but when I finally get my primary care squared away I'll probably ask if I can get shots.

@001zlnv If there's one thing @anthracite has taught me, it's that dragons can have whatever the hell they want.

As per previous boost, yeah, I went to bed around 2 am, figuring Umbra had proven himself more than capable of being a good guest.

And then the pitiful mewling began. And then the sounds of things being knocked around in the front room.

We caved and let him sleep with us in the bedroom. He was an absolute sweetie. And I even woke up with clear sinuses. It's a Catsmas miracle.

@001zlnv

I SAID "meh!" :)

(I'm stuck in a self-critical phase. I'll get excited when stuff actually happens and people actually notice us.)

- some stuff i forgot
- meh whatever
- dragon
- kitties
- maps so many maps
- new orleans
- something about seattle fuck it
- can i go now

===== MEWS UPDATE =====

Peeking over at Umbra like every five minutes to make sure they're still breathing and stuff, despite Umbra having absolutely no signs of any health issues.

I'm so fucking grateful I never had children. I am far, far too prone to fretting over whoever I care about, especially if they're eensy and vulnerable.

I was like this when my nieces and nephews were babies, too. Absolute. Ongoing. Terror. (They're all fine and, like, in college and stuff.)

===== KITTY NOT-REALLY-NEWS =====

If it weren't for the fear of losing track of him and, you know, basic health regulations and stuff... I would be so tempted to call an Uber and go to, like, Waffle House or IHOP with the kitten and just pull my all-nighter there with him on my lap. ^__^

(I'd joke "HE'S MY SERVICE ANIMAL" but faking that shit isn't really funny since real people need... um... animals other than cats. Cats are adorably useless for anything except affection & smallscale murder.)

===== DEPECHE CHAT =====

Yup, this is gonna be a rough night. Only an hour in and my allergies are already raging. Still don't have the heart to leave the cute little bugger alone all night. Umbra's been a real good kid so far, aside from stuffing my lungs with dander.

===== BREAKING MEWS* =====

Because I am both cruel and kind, I am watching a psych-horror movie while I kittensit. Umbra is adorably indifferent so far to the sound of human screams.

Good kitty. =(^)_(^)=

* Happy now, geniefox? :D <3

@Phorm Not before about 10 seconds ago, coincidentally! =^______^=

===== KITTY ALERT =====

I... I don't have the heart to leave Umbra by himself in the front room all night. Allergies schmallergies, I'm gonna pull an all nighter and keep the little dude company.

Even if he tried to nibble my toe, and is giving my first real experiences with cat-like typing onpl[oknhgb

@spacewastrel@snouts.online Jesus, nobody should have to live like that. I hope life gets less rough for you soon. *hug*

===== KITTY ALERT =====

I'm so proud of Umbra for being the first of the kittens to pass Round 1 of their Litter Training Final Exams and earn probationary long-term (i.e. >3 minute) stay privileges!
