Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@hystericempress Haha, and you're still friends with this ADHD basket case WHY exactly? :D <3

LRB: Dammit, now I REALLY want to see a "rebooted" Watership Down but it's a stylish 1960s spy comedy with ruthless anthro bunnies...

@hystericempress I'm still really pissed off at how they treated Jacob Tobia (Double Trouble on She-Ra) for saying "dyke" in a blatantly non-derogatory and friendly context. And for daring to portray a non-binary character that is not a 100% Lawful Good paragon of decency. (That includes some people who can read this, and... yeah, if you feel a little called out, that's just fine and I still love you).

@hystericempress I am now literally weeping with pride in my little sister right now. I have been looking for a tactful way to say this for ages and you just completely nailed it. Again. <3

Yeah, I remember being fucking PROMISED, just to name one example, that "privilege" wasn't going to become the new orignal sin, it was just something people were supposed to reflect on, examine in themselves, and do their best to correct. It turned out to be a big fucking lie right there. >_<

And now we're being simultaneously told there is no such thing as cancel culture and watching a new Burned-Fur grade movement of antis pop up on our own sacred perv ground.

If they weren't the only thing holding back the far right, I would have turned my back on the far left ages and ages ago for this kind of theory-before-people bullshit.

@duske But I see what you did there. :D

@duske That's not trolling, that's a personal favor, possibly a minor religious service. <3

@anthracite dont forget to ping soniat re the circuit breaker...

@anthracite Parallax! Maybe look over Ch 1 alongside that review and help me fix the plot!

@Phorm "As your 800-pound Martian lawyer, I strongly advise you to TF every dumb SOB at this rest stop."

@balinares Yeah, I'm not a fan of April Fools Day at all, but the sheer ratio of people complaining about pranks to actual pranks seen kinda... made it feel like killing an already-dead mouse with a hand grenade, to be honest.

I think the holiday's good and dead and I'm not particularly sorry, but I do wonder if 200 years from now people won't be wondering why April 1 is a holiday where we all tell each other not to play practical jokes we weren't planning on playing anyhow. :)

Brill basically showed up to keep me sane while we were dealing with the Kittenpocalypse. :) She was based on Oyster, an ABSOLUTELY FUCKING GORGEOUS sweetie of an Aussie Shepherd I met at the local craft beer shop.

Her backstory is slowly evolving, but so far I'm pretty sure she's from some kind of Buffyverse-like hellworld, and is probably the result of some Slayer type magically merging with her beloved guard dog. She's a shaggy punk with a maternal streak and a foul mouth, and I love her so much.

I desperately needed someone who could do CALM AND COLLECTED in the midst of a crisis. Tigers, zebras, raccoons... ain't that. =n.n;=

Trying to put a positive spin on this earache: it's the easiest tolerance break I've had in ages.

Every time I look over at the bong, the voice of my Inner Fretful Australian Shepherd (remind me to tell you critters about my new headfriend Brill sometime! she's awesome!) just puts her virtual paw on my shoulder and wuffs, "Nope. Sorry. Hard no."

When this is finally over, I am gonna have SO MUCH WEED on hand. Brace yourselves. I might be insufferably weird even by my standards for a few days. XD

Peebles, I apologize for all the times I've taken your feather away when you weren't done playing with it.

They just suspended the right-wing troll I was making fun of on Birdsite, and now I know exactly how it must feel.

@LexYeen Great song! I wonder what it's about?

@eredien Aww! ^__^; And FWIW, my ear bacteria seem to be dying in heaps so our mutual unfondness of them is being rewarded, thanks to 2x daily Augmentin. :) I'm doing a lot better already!

@Austin_Dern Color me absolutely not astonished. :) Although if you were the personality model for pinball pros, I'd just think they were all charmingly eccentric, which also seems very plausible... <3

@Austin_Dern There aren't enough Willy Wonka memes on this planet...
