Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@mawr words are simple and words are straight
words are lazy and words are late
words all come with points of view
words don't do what I want them to
words just twist the truth around
words are living turned inside out

@Leucrotta If it's any consolation, all I've seen is Canada... and no offense to our dear friends from the north, but that doesn't count. :)

I think if I have the chance someday, I'd like to see my homeland in Italy. Apparently, the Italian parts of my family all come from about five hours' drive of each other, basically in a straight line going West from Rome. I've seen pictures. Real pretty mountain area.

And I keep threatening to drag Peg to Vienna purely for the cake. O:|

@anthracite @JulieSqveakaroo I'm also seeing a whole bunch of advice in a casual search of "mold-free living" sites about how to deal with this! They recommend everything from vinegar to tea-tree oil, and some other remedies. Let me know if you do need to clean the critters up, and I can share what I've found! <3

@zx3 @mmsword Oh, I hate to ask, but did BIM ever get here? He was supposed to be my ride. :(

@JulieSqveakaroo Psst. Don't worry, hun. My kids have had Plush Rot before. There are things that can be done. I mean, you've got the entire fandom's experience—a little mold, even the really nasty kind, HAS to be a solved problem. You just need to find the right kind of plush rehab expert. If it does come to that, let me know and I'm happy to help you ask around! But I know what an upset that can be—I couldn't take my menagerie with me during Barry, and honestly... that was TOUGH. *HUG*

@zx3 (Now I wanna make an entire cocktail menu named after terrible, terrible movies... @mmsword, I think you're needed at the bar? <3 )

@zx3 Hmm. I think I'll have one Hard Ticket to Hawaii, served neat in a chilled plutonium canister, no chaser. Martians like it rough.

And The Apple for dessert.

Eyes itch like they've been through a wildfire. Conjunctiva have swollen up like life-rafts. Petted kitty at house of Peggy's friend.

5/5 experience, would suffer again. It was a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Zombeaux! 😽​

@zx3 I say, Sommerlier! I think I need something a bit harder. Would you recommend the Neil Breen? Perhaps something light and fruity, with a hint of messianic narcissism?

@Austin_Dern Gosh, that's cute!

@JulieSqveakaroo @anthracite He is, I'm just thinking they need a third...

@zx3 THERE'S NAUGHT WRONG WITH LIQUID SKY, YOU VARLET!

(*cough* Sorry. I don't know where that came from. There's PLENTY wrong with Liquid Sky. And yet, it's such a perfect and pure specimen of whatever it is...)

@Aradia Hmm, apparently there are multiples. The live one, or the one with Disembodio?

ngl, "shiny plastic unicorn boot repurposed to show nothing but recalled product notices for eternity" is pretty much Big Mood for me right now

@anthracite Anything that keeps him further away from human contact is probably good.

In the absence of an official Max-Cohen-autographed Black and Decker drill specced for tiger brains, I think I'm going to watch the Rifftrax dub of The Room.

I wonder which basic intellectual faculty I'll lose for good this time. Probably nothing I'll miss.

@Phorm @anthracite This would all make an absolutely cracking short story...

@anthracite What's Aardvark Guy up to these days? >__<

@joshua On a related note, have you ever seen the British TV series Look Around You?

Come to think of it... yeah, what they're doing is arguably pure pataphysics comedy. There's nothing else on TV like it.

@Balina I wouldn't say gentle so much as quick, but yeah. There's another universe where we had to watch Matt go through a protracted year-long battle and suffer far more than he did, and... I honestly don't see what good that universe would have brought. He'd already been deprived of most of his joys in life except for TV, and was pretty much chairbound after being a pretty active guy, and that's just not living. *sighs and hugs*
