@Soreth Yeah, no, it is a trope! :D But I do feel ya -- I have a few oddities in my/my family's vocabulary that do NOT match the regional maps or stereotypes at all... (Like why did I already feel so comfortable with "y'all" long before I headed south?)

@Soreth I have no idea. :D I have just vaguely heard they are regional and I believe I've heard them associated with Midwest/Great Lakes?

Now you've got me questioning my memory, time for a quick infodive. :>

uspol, religion, literature, snark 

gawd i love being an ex-christian who knows the bible far better than the "religious" conservatives i pick fights with on twitter XD

I suspect you can grasp a big important chunk of my personality, and maybe what's specifically Midwestern about it, if I tell you one fact:

Both the expressions "Yeah, no" and "No, yeah" make *perfect* sense to me.

shitty annoying memes i hate 

just say what you're really thinking you adorable balls of cognitive bias

@Oneironott I looked it up on Wiki like two seconds before you replied, but this looks like a really fun show! :D

re: Summer Camp Island, no spoilers/art focused 

@Oneironott Serious question, not familiar with SCI at all: why does the title card have the taxonomy of the hedgehog on it? :D

Do you think succubi and incubi just fucking hate the 1971 Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Probably 35% of their daily queue has to be catering to people who will sell their soul to recreate any given scene from that.

"Hey, Astaroth, how's it going? Still on that Great Duke racket, teaching mortals about math?"

"Nope. They got me on Purple Top Hat duty again. Have to dunk like 500 people in a chocolate river today."

@JulieSqveakaroo No, Shemp has a whole different catchphrase! Shemp know what do. *nod*

re: another very important* cat post; official royal hierarchy 

@Phorm That's like 22 minutes out of every 44-minute episode. :D

re: another very important* cat post; official royal hierarchy 

@Phorm Kitkat is a real cat, too! BEAUTIFUL, enormous, friendly old bastard. Tragically, I am "no longer allowed" to see him, between that Crazy Cat Lady from a few months ago (who I DESPERATELY HOPE is still feeding them somehow, not that it's that hard for a stray to survive down here) and the Asshole Cat-Hating Neighbor who demanded we stop feeding that crowd. I really hope you're OK out there, Kitkat, you old softie. I am always tempted to Sneak Over The Border and slip y'all a little treat.

re: another very important* cat post; official royal hierarchy 

@Phorm One could also make a VERY good case that he's The Face-- despite being the size of a damn lynx-- and Peebs is The Muscle-- despite being a total snugglebug.

And no, Shemp is only technically in the role of "The Shemp" when he's in his spinoff series, "Kitkat and the Shemp." With his blind 16-year-old vagrant buddy down the street, They Solve Cat Crimes (but, um, don't generally *do* a whole lot about it).

snark 

I wish I could bottle the agony I feel when I see someone who's misspelled their own screenname (and all their posts contradict any hope it's intentional humor) and spray it on people I don't like.

disco elysium (very mild spoiler), worldpol 

In Disco Elysium as in reality, ALWAYS punch Measurehead when you have the chance.

birdsite, shenanigans, transphobes, Aunt Eddie Izzard 

i honestly am genuinely hoping to at LEAST land in twitter jail for this one (Fig. A), possibly even the death penalty <3

i'm like marshie -- as long as there are VPNs and protonmail, you can't destroy me (Fig. B)

@hystericempress Isn't it great? My love of Peteena (and your new sona) is 100% unironic. <3 And you're right about the weird confidence. Those little girls going "YOU'RE SILLY! HOW COULD YOU NOT KNOW OF PETEENA'S RAINSLICKER, YOU POOR CONFUSED OLD MAN. BEHOLD THIS SLOUCHING BEAST WHO DEIGNS TO SPEAK A HUMAN TONGUE YET SAYS HE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW HOW A TALKING POODLE PROTECTS HERSELF FROM THE RAIN!"

I hope you have a LOT of fun being a poodle who wears clothes.💋​

VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT (cat; not actually important except that it is a cat)
