Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@chimerror Also I'm real curious what the math premise was! I was a math jock once upon a time, before I took an arrow to the limbic system. n.n;

@chimerror Yeah, but I've always felt that the Joel Doctrine was more for people who thought they could find the ONE true objective explanation for something -- or worse, could prove a show was "wrong" or "didn't work" or was "bad" because it failed to resemble material causality in some way-- which fictional worlds are under little or no obligation to do, really.

But you? You're just being weird and that leads to creativity.</joel> :) You're working from a perspective of "all these solutions are valid, and dammit, I wanna make one of my own because it's fun." You arguably already HAVE relaxed before you even got started. :)

Hey. Sorry I've been scarce. Mostly been hanging out elsewhere. I think getting booted from Twitter kinda made me realize that Masto's not an ideal medium for me either, so I guess I'm taking a bit of a break?

Been under a lot of stress. The Cat Situation next door is still ongoing. There's construction, and signs that the (largely non-English-speaking, which really complicates things) family doing the work is also moving in?

Really, we are in better shape than we were when Artie started her Attic Adventures in April. If they do lock the path to the attic on us and she still gets up there, we have at least three possible means of entry, plus the likely success of an "¡Hola! Nuestros gatos están en su ático! ¿Podemos entrar y rescatarlas, por favor?"

But I'm still freaked to the point of low-grade agoraphobia when I'm not here to watch the house and getting jumpy every time I hear ANY bump from outside. My mental health is not great right now.

It didn't help that we spotted Shemp stuck in a DIFFERENT place the other day, a neighbor's storage locker. We're 99% he's fine, the neighbor assured us the cats have a hole they can get in and out of and she hears them in there all the time. But I still haven't seen Shemp since then and some part of me is still DETERMINED he somehow managed to perish from being locked in a cool, cozy garage for maybe two hours.

Because I'm going fucking crazy with worry and stress down here. And hurricane season is coming.

@anthracite Could... could I have a scan of your doodle? *blushes* *drinks*

@Phorm I really need to go play this game... for the same reason I really need to see Birdemic 3 if it ever comes out.

@Phorm

@spottyfox

@spottyfox truth in advertising?

@eredien I think something might not be threading for me! Mind a screenshot/link?

@LexYeen You rang?

@Phorm I was just about to go peek in on you, and apologize for not having been more help through all this. Still a little rough around the edges from recent family crisis but I should have some reserves soon if you need somewhere to vent. *TACKLEHUG* Been missing you.

SIlly stoned thought from last night:

You know how they say film genres have a life cycle? And they go through "primitive," "classic," "revisionist," and "parodic" phases?

I was thinking about what would happen f the remake trend itself went into its final throes and we started getting WEIRD remakes of things...

Like, years ago I was matching Evil Dead 2 with a dear friend and we started joking around about doing a remake where all the SFX gore -- literally meat scraps and red Karo syrup per Raimi-- was replaced with breakfast foods. It's the exact same film, but when someone gets splatted, out comes orange juice, scrambled eggs, æbleskivers, sausage links...

Or a remake of Tarantino's Deathproof. But the villain(s) chase innocent women around in their tricked out polka-dot 1920s clown car with a goofy air horn and 50 of their friends crammed into the back dressed in harlequin makeup.

Title: "Foolproof."

@arilin That moment you're describing is basically my single favorite thing about furries. 😻​

@chimerror I am not generally a big sports fan-- but I used to have the best time watching the Celebrity Sureshot skeet tournaments at 3 am on ESPN.

@chimerror espn ocho

@balinares This is the smartest point about this topic I've heard all week.

@LexYeen With my recent need to ponder and commit Cat Crimes, this fact has VERY much dawned on me recently. >:D

@anthracite YES
