Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@joshua by s-word i meant socialist but you probably will not be surprised to hear there are MULTIPLE funny stories about these people and bladed instruments... another day, maybe

@joshua oh god, fuck people like that

my ex and i had a bunch of housemates who had JUST been harvard-square homeless kids, but had the fucking nerve to be right-wing and pro-war and love GWB... even though they were ALL COLLECTING SSI, including one who had an engineering degree and could work just fine but preferred to blow all his SSI money for a CONTROLLED case of epilepsy on warcraft figures while he stiffed us for rent -- and they were that special kind of goth-pagan whose magickqzxal beliefs just HAPPENED to put them at the center of the universe and make never-ending cosmic adventure out of their shitty selfish lives

i did not seriously believe in the concept of "losers at life" until i met these fucking people

don't hurt yourself over these pieces of shit, dude, you are NOT the problem in this equation *hug* some people's brains are just programmed to turn right off when they hear the S-word

@anthracite Oh, you're right! Thank you for the correction!

@Oneironott Aww, thank you, hun! *blush*

@JulieSqveakaroo Peggy hides little easter eggs like that in most of her artwork! There's still a tiny, tiny squirrel hidden in Dawn's 10 of Wands that even she can't find anymore... n.n

@JulieSqveakaroo Extra points if you can Spot The Pineapple. :D (Which is especially kinky if you know what pineapple bromelain does to gelatin...)

@kistaro Thankfully most of my warts have gone away, I had like five or six stubborn ones in college, but I am still prone to getting severe eczema/dishydrosis on my fingers, especially in summer, which manifests as lots of tiny crunchy bubbles of skin. I used to call these "coyote bubbles," out of a quite unfair impression I had caught them from Acetone_Kitten. It turns out they're not contagious, but I still call them that anyhow because it's still funny. ^____^;

Peg wanted pics of one of my other characters for an art project, and in the process of searching for them, I found these!

In case you were wondering what I look like, here's at least one of my dimensional echoes in all my smart-jello-y glory.

@kobi_lacroix@snouts.online Oh, don't even get me STARTED on the earwax... Cauliflower I could grow in there... </mel_brooks_voice> And my breath constantly smells a bit of stomach acid because of my GERD unless I've JUST brushed and gargled. (Poor Peggy...)

After The Thing Happened in Seattle, I felt like such a pariah. I'd lost one of the most important things to me: the sense that if my doom finally came (which I'd been braced for since at least age 12 when my dad died), i would be widely missed, loved, and mourned.

And I was thinking about that just now, and how much fun it's been not just living with Peg down here, but having this little place with all of you and watching my circle of friends endure and even grow.

And I do feel loved, and I feel like if I were to suddenly become a Tragic Young Victim... people would miss and romanticize and mourn for me.

And that ain't as much comfort as not catching this would be. :) But it's still a comfort. And I'm very grateful for it. Whatever happens, love you all. Let's all wash our hands and not die, mmkay?

@Leucrotta oh man, am i with you there -- i mean, you've seen me -- i would have done a LOT more with transition if i had consistently had the cash for electrolysis over the years or the werewithal to shave regularly...

@Phorm @anthracite Hit me up in DMs. I can take it! And I'm desperately curious.

@kistaro i... i feel like peg and i are both being called out here

the very weekend i first met her in person, @acetone_kitten and i threatened to start a tally board of how many times she said the word "poop" n.n;

Inspired by another toot:

We're in the middle of a plague. We're going to have -- and maybe need -- daily reminders that we are made of icky goopy stuff that does creepy things.

So I'm declaring this an extreme biological TMI confessional thread. Got a part of your body that always inexplicably smells like root beer? Got that THING on your butt that oozes? Love the sensation of picking a certain unidentified form of plantlife out from under your toenails?

Here's the place to tell us about it. DO NOT PROCEED unless you can offer 100% amnesty and non-judgment. You know damn well that when nobody is looking, you're just as gross.

Last warning.

I'll start. I've got a big nasty ingrown hair on my back that's been there for two months and won't go away. My doctor's still debating if she's gonna drain it, hack it out, or put me on antibiotics.

Also, Peg and I have largely subsisted on red beans and rice for the last week, and my poots have been smelling EXACTLY like Creole Spice Blend. I... I actually kinda like it. n_____n;;;;

Also, ever since I found out my hypertension's in remission, I've taken to drinking shot-glasses of soy sauce and eating anchovy paste straight from the squeezetube.

@kistaro this kinda tempts me to have a thread of biological tmi amnesty -- the midst of an epidemic seems like a good time to get in touch with, and make peace with, each others' fundamental grossness <3
