@Aradia What I'm getting from this is that I'm supposed to tell you where the boys are hiding? ;O

And I've pretty much given up on ever being anything more than a faintly feminine old long-haired scruffy dago creep anywhere but here.

*ding*

(MORALE: 50)

Where usually I get nothing back except dead silence.

*ding*

(MORALE: 40)

Ah, there, we're back to baseline. I can handle a 40. Don't even know what to do with a 100.

Even if that's never going to be me.

*ding*

(MORALE: 90)

Because I'm getting old.

*ding*

(MORALE: 80)

And I'll never be cute.

*ding*

(MORALE: 70)

And I already blew up the one social circle that could have given me any hope of achieving these things.

*ding*

(MORALE: 60)

I just saw a random Redditor describe Catra from She-Ra as "transition goals" and suddenly my morale stat has gone back up to 100.

I think I have the honor of having just been present for the invention of a whole new manspreading technology. The guy at the cafe table next to me is somehow manspreading *at* me.

He's got himself turned to the side in his chair, facing right at me instead of his table. With his legs crossed. Thus putting him roughly 0.5" away from me. In a cafe that was not otherwise crowded.

I'm not even mad. The precision and ingenuity with which he's invading my space is kind of amazing.

@Phorm WATCH IT IN FRONT OF THEM! STAND UP ON THE TABLE! THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW! JOIN THE HOMESTARMY! LEND ME FIVE BUCKS!

AND IT'S NOT ABOUT THEIR BOARDGAME!

*two of them run around screaming for ten minutes*

NEW HOMESTAR!

*runs around screaming for about ten minutes*

@LexYeen@snouts.online Haha, just wait until Peg finishes her current art project... More tiger than y'all can handle! 🐯 🐯 🐯 ❤️

===== KITTY ALERT =====

Yup. One of the friggin' cats has figured out how to leap in through the window. *sigh*

Heck. I'm not even mad. That's amazing. But I would still kind of like her to leave.

Today's mood. Disconnected but okay with it. Feeling old; not minding as long as I live long enough to finish the damn comic. Getting some first glimmers of a healthy social circle to rebuild with here. Life is full of cats. And a witch. No other magic, no more that comes from me. It's okay.

@Balinares Oh dear. It's been a long time since any story involving Naura has been rooted in happiness. :o

@JulieSqveakaroo The tigress has had up to four on the MUCKs, fwiw. =nn.nn=

Happy Halloween.

I have a latent monstery side, so this is almost Style Goals for me.

@LexYeen@snouts.online Huh. I always took that line as a reminder of the importance of safety in the auto repair industry. *deadpan*

===== KITTY ALERT =====

Our neighbors have six cats: five on the front porch and five on the back. And they all expect to be let in and fed.

@mmsword I REALLY need to see that film, don't I.

(Except that it's already started: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msLtodrQdKE)

Cat deepfakes. Youtube channels devoted to inserting roaming cats into every single frame of classic film and TV. Tony Soprano with a kitty on his head. Darth Vader being constantly chased by kittens. John Wick with a little cat in a trenchcoat riding on the back of every dog. Videodrome: long live the mew flesh. Then finally, towards the end of the meme's lifespan, they'll start doing cat documentaries, but the goal will be to achieve $MAX_INT_KITTIES.
