Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

[🐯​​] like all the great figures of history, our deaths will be tinged with irony

because after a month of skillfully evading covid-19, we are about to die from a foolish act of extreme sushi overordering

#FishedToDeath
#StraightToCatHeaven

@Oneironott short version, it involves a lot of cannabis, flashy lights, integer sequences, and dommes on TapestriesMUCK *blush* and a glorious sensation of being on full suggestible autopilot for hours on end, which i miss SO MUCH

@Oneironott have me tell you sometime about my catdroid character hladolet and where she came from -- it's relevant...

@001zlnv *nods* Haa-baa.

@001zlnv i know exactly what past me would say:

Today's mood:

basking in the utter gobsmacked shellshock of how normal my life still seems compared to so many other people

it's that guilty feeling of watching the guy next to you in the trench get a bullet in the shoulder and knowing he's STILL one of the lucky ones, 'cause it wasn't through his face...

...compounded by that awful knowledge that the general responsible for this is an inept privileged cretin, just sitting in his office, playing with a map covered in toy soldiers

We just can't seem to kick that onion powder. (hat tip: @Leucrotta)

Of course, I'm not like the other raccoons. Add "gelatin" and "polythene" to the front of that list, though, and...

@Austin_Dern [🐯​] *deposits the remains of a whole nilgai antelope at your feet, horns and all*

[​] *sighs* I'll get the floor wax. Sorry, Austin.

@Leucrotta @mmsword I smile every time I see someone mention "sheep-stealing," because I am literally and factually descended from a gang of Scottish rustlers and I am so inordinately proud of that fact. ^____^

@mmsword @Leucrotta Hmm. Appropos to my post the other day about missing outlaws... Now I want to play John Dillinger. Or Bonnie Parker. Or hell, at this point in history, even the SLA feel like protagonists...

My cardboard stepdaughter is very wise.

current anger level:

making hector salamanca (figure A) look like bob ross (figure B)

waugh

@001zlnv Of course, no problem!

@anthracite Hmm, or maybe it doesn't...? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoshamanism#Power_animals

@anthracite Closest I can find is familiars, which I kinda like but implies a whole different sort of relationship...

I miss outlaws. Like, bandit queens and bank robbers and highwaymen and such, especially the sort with an explicitly revolutionary bent. I don't know exactly what happened, but our society sure as hell did SOMETHING to clamp them right out of existence (electronic cash transfer and universal surveillance sure haven't helped) and I wish we had a way to bring them back. Because there are sure as fuck some people who need to be robbed.

@hystericempress Actually, let me redact that. Now that I've seen the exact logic behind it -- preventing a "must have" card from coming into existence, and banning early to save people from busting their asses to acquire one -- the mental image of the MTG multiverse being overrun by goddamn otters made the whole bout of confusion TOTALLY worthwhile. :D

Freakin' otters. :>

@hystericempress (*finds it* *understands* *isn't any happier* ;) <3 )

@hystericempress I can't make heads or tails out of what's going on with the "Companion" part of that card, nor the exact reasons this is so broken, and you know... I'm good, sis.
