Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

Among the Martian Tigers, in the court of Empress* Rezeya, courtiers** primly flip through sushi menus and announce meticulously composed hypothetical orders to one another, with all the solemnity and formality of Heian poetry.

Good orders are politely applauded; poor orders are shot down with devastating wit. Truly great orders are met with a sudden mass adjournment to go get dinner.

Most Martian menu ceremonies have at least three orders ranked "truly great" within the course of a single evening.

*disputed
**basically whoever felt like dressing up fancy that day; Mars is an anarchomonarchist society

"police-involved flomping"

good thing you dumb fucking earthlings don't have coaxial biscuit technology, you'd probably just break it anyhow

beignets and etouffee at morning call (famous local cafe, recently revived) happened

so never mind the depression thing

tigers are simple creatures and today is definitely gonna be a tiger day 🐯​

I think I just really really miss people. I've felt doomed my whole life and been more or less okay. This is just the furthest and longest I've ever been from any sort of real-world OR roleplaying community.

Birdsite is a complete waste except for keeping touch with a couple of old friends and yelling at clouds. We haven't seen most of Peg's friends in person more than once or twice since we got down here. You critters are basically all I've got left.

And deep down I just can't convince myself it's not my fault.

Thank you for staying.

twitter becomes so much easier to digest if you just start from the assumption that everybody you don't know personally is a parody account

got those Norma Desmond feels something fierce tonight. "I'm still big, right? It's just the Internet that's gotten small."

just feeling very small and doomed and overwhelmed tonight, waiting for that sword of damocles to fall.

i guess things are technically ok. i'm almost caught up on work, i can probably get my first vaccination monday, and i think i have most of the pending stuff on my to-do list under control.

i just feel like it's all gonna be for nothing anyhow, because i'm so badly overdue for some life-wrecking disaster that's gonna sweep it all away anyhow and OH LOOK AT THAT I happen to live right up hurricane alley these days.

okay just when i think the hypnosis kink is passe, meredith the mindtaker comes to make it look hot as fuck again. i haven't seen anyone that casual with other people's headspheres since lavavixens stalked the earth

show's not half bad, either, actually feels a lot more grounded and mature than harvey birdman -- the [ adolescent swim ] kids are gonna hate it because its gender politics are not gross and it's all covered in girl cooties

mark frauenfelder is the new precious roy

;p

What would you consider the most "difficult" comedy you've ever watched, for any given definition of "difficult" or "comedy?"

(I'm thinking about the subject because I'm about to start my fourth attempt to get into The League of Gentlemen's "Psychoville." It's one of those series that I keep hearing is rewarding but makes itself real difficult to love...)

the life aquatic with steve bannon

it's... it's just a 90 minute video of steven bannon getting waterboarded

^_______________^

but it's still directed by wes anderson

*sigh*

(found this on a reddit thread about bootleg reddy kilowatt art. they were absolutely convinced the one where he has a switchblade was [a] authentic [b] targeted at kids because the 70s were just that dark y'all)

also i feel that

"Close your eyes! (OK)
Now imagine you're at the most wonderful party. (OK)
Delicious food. (Uh huh.)
Interesting people. (Mm hmm.)
Terrific music. (Mn hmmh.)
Now open them! (Oh no.)
Well, I just want to go home now and walk the dog."

is a pretty good koan

i am gonna miss laurie so fucking much when she's gone

I have just eaten a very large amount of tuna salad and Irish cheddar on sourdogh, and I am very pleased about it. Gil Faizan and George St. Geegland got nothin' on me.
