Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

stuck at coffee science in midcity nola, storm broke out during morning exercise/caffeination. sitting here with a danish and a "chaos theory" (ginger turmeric cider vinegar shot with espresso and a cherry), pondering their fridge of gourmet local ice cream with Actual Magickal Sigils and a goat demon made of ice cream on the label, and thinking all in all this here is a nice place to get stuck

even if my life is 1/3 street cats, 1/3 work, and 1/3 dragon right now. which aint so bad either.

@hystericempress So what you're saying is, The Good Place wouldn't have been able to air on network TV if she'd been around...

@hystericempress i just wanna snuggle the eyewheel version <3

@hystericempress i think you've found a source of great power here sis but i know you will wield it with a pure heart

@hystericempress ...

shit, you're right

i will start working on the formal proof immediately; i think this one can be generalized to all cases

if you know, you know

@001zlnv We will find out. :) I will show you the one photo they sent us of them-- at the VERY least they are all laser armed. :D (Or um maybe it was just regular cat eyeshine... O:) )

Ergh. Quickie vent because I'm catching up on a million things that got interrupted today...

We got contacted out of the blue by the cat charity that helped us spay/neuter our kids. There is an elderly woman who apparently has fed the semiferals in an abandoned house down our street for 10+ years and had a fall.

We are taking over for her until she recovers "which shouldn't be long" except every time we talk to her there's a new medical woe.

And she's NUTS. Long-winded and oblivious in the way that only lonely old Catholic ladies are. (I'm from Italian Catholics, I'm allowed to say that. I've lived it. So. Many. Times.)

And every time I talk to her, the instructions for feeding these cats get more and more specific and onerous. And include another hint that just maybe the neighbors are actively hostile towards her. And we get to jump straight into that hostility.

I am not looking forward to any of this.

OK, that's not true. There's a really cute tortie living there and I look forward to meeting him. :) But there are a hundred other things about this arrangement that are stressing the shit out of me, because I DISTINCTLY detect the presence of an needy emotional vampire. Like, Colin Robinson grade. >____<

@Aradia It's also on Hulu, I believe! I have heard it's pretty good.

@001zlnv you can imagine what infinity train did to me too

@001zlnv I have not! Anime?

@Austin_Dern Oh I would be very entertained by that! n.n

@typhlosion It's so true! We are said to be as big as all outdoors. *preen*

@001zlnv I mean, these are all very yes. If we were playing the Raggedy Ann and Andy Drinking Game[1], I'd have had to do five shots just now.

And presumably increment myself appropriately...

*sigh*

*drink*

Six.

@typhlosion (ah, i was slightly misquoting the Gospel of St. Hobbes anyhow...)

@typhlosion Humph. It sounds so much better in the original Tigrish. :) (My Japanese is pretty rusty but I don't think the algorithm did a very good job. :) )

@typhlosion 虎。

ok a little more research shows that there are two main sites that mention "arithmophilia." Every other source seems to copy from one of them. Both are... pretty neat, actually, but are clearly just etymological wankery.

in fact, one outright admits these are purely hypothetical and were all cribbed from a list of phobias.

https://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/philias.html

the other was written as clickbait for a "sex education" website

https://sexducates.com/list-of-paraphilias/

one truly is the loneliest number. harry nilsson, you were a genius. ;_;

genuinely a little sad to see that there's virtually zero usage of "arithmophilia" to refer to an actual kink/paraphilia (i found one google result and it was a tongue-in-cheek list of kinks an artist would do; there were several hundred entries and they were clearly copied from somewhere else)

i can't be the only one, i can't

i wasn't joking

"numbers on body" is actually core kink for me

i could probably occupy a therapist for three or four months with why because damned if i know and i feel like i should, there's definitely something deep to unearth there :)
