Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Threw myself off a cliff, metaphorically speaking, and forgot I essentially married a toon—for whom turning into a trampoline at a moment's notice is no problem. 😻​

Less recovered from the stomach bug than I was hoping for, more recovered than I was braced for. I've had some of these be absolutely brutal week-long affairs, and I'm just relieved it's on its way out.

The rest of today's been a bit of a trial, too, from very confusing social interactions and laptop shenanigans, to having to make up a day of work over the weekend and being barraged with dreams that reminded me how much I've lost socially in the last five years.

Objectively, there are a lot of reasons that being down here with Peg, in a place of our own and really only responsible for each other, is really good for me.

Subconsciously, after 20 years of living in communal homes, some part of my brain keeps whimpering, "B–but where did all the people go?!" (And not incidentally, "Where's all the weed?!" *smirk* But that's probably been fairly good for me in the long term too.)

I really, really look forwards to a normal week—especially since this is the ninth or tenth consecutive week I've wished for one. Did Barry tear something open on some other dimensional plane? 'Cause I've been having nothing but weird, uneasy living since then. Maybe it would explain why it turned out so pitiful on this plane. :p

@chimerror I love Nichols and May! ^___^

Whopping stomach flu. Quiet for a while. Relieved it's not murderous like my last one.

@xinjinmeng Oh, and you'll probably like this one of Ed's too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt4QFnxsT0Q I love the lighting work.

@xinjinmeng Don't forget to take your Claridryl.

@hystericempress I can kinda hear Jonathan Banks too, but that would be Artanis's Final Pokevolution, centuries after the campaign when he's got his WIS up to double digits. :p

God I miss this friggin' kid.

@hystericempress I am so friggin' excited. I have already been catching myself composing dialogue in my head for <s>Duchess</s> Artanis...

"Here."

"What is this?"

"It's 2 gp. To buy yourself a nicer handkerchief to cry in. I, now this is just personally, recommend the Aereni silk."

Who would win:

Peeper beetle vs. the Corinthian

Peeper beetle vs. Cyclops

Peeper beetle vs. Eye of Vecna

@Phorm Yes. Yes you can. It really annoys me that Stewie's "Sexy Dance Parties" were my introduction to it—almost as much as it annoys me that it's not even *on* most soundtracks to Casino Royale, and is replaced with a much inferior song.

But this kinda makes up for it. Bacharach is Bacharach! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rl8w_A-e_h0

@mawr @Phorm Oh, Mawr, I LOVE that song! First saw it used on the soundtrack for Better Call Saul, had to know what it was right then and there. And the video is just one of the best of the last few years.

There is an old woman sitting across from me in the cafe, with her phone's volume turned up so high I can hear it right through my headphones.

However, she's watching videos of what I assume are her grandkids, and it's just so pure and cute that I can't find it in my heart to be annoyed. The smile on her face is just a treasure.

Humans ain't always so bad. I'm not even gonna *consider* chasing this one. She seems like the kind of lady that pets smaller cats without hesitation. 😻​

@Phorm THANK YOU, I was looking for that one... Added.

@Phorm YES. See, you totally get what I'm going for here...

@Austin_Dern Ooh, thank you! That Meco cover art is STYLE GOALS. And that reminds me I should probably throw in Popcorn, too.

Favorite version by far: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfNEeXkAZ4k
