[*insert endless screaming here*]

... nope. just. blocking and moving on, cuz fuck it, too tired to even rant about stupid people who lack basic curiosity anymore

When your so much of a nerd that you find yourself wondering just what XLOV is saying by giving Hyun Aragon's sword

when you have not had NEARLY enough coffee to deal with the latest YT Ppl Bullshat

Spent most of my Mother's Day in bed, in obnoxious pain, le sigh

So while it's too early in the month to be doing a sweep the fridge stew, we're having Army Stew anyway. No recipe, just me and my abuela ancestors.

on the one hand, I probably need to not lay down again

on the other hand, I feel like complete ASS

we'll see what a little more coffee does, I guess

Sleeping late was not an option today - pre-trash-collection day means I have to haul the bins up at a reasonable hour for the neighbors to also use them - so of course the entire neighborhood decided letting me sleep was devil talk

On the other hand, a plant fairy gave me several live plants to add to my garden - bell peppers, two varieties of tomato, and some cucumbers. So now I REALLY don't know what I'm going to do with the inevitable extra okra 🤣

for the record, a 20% discount on a router that costs at least 5x (and may be closer to 7-8x, I forget now) what I paid for the one you're sunsetting is not actually that much of a gift

Spotify's SongDNA might be useful in other instances, but taking me to the credit's for ATEEZ's Adrenaline wasn't it - I already knew it was written/composed by Edenary (in this case, Eden, Maddox, Peperoni, Oliv, Hongjoong, and Mingi), but thank you anyway, I guess? 🤣

Like if you want me to be surprised, maybe don't take me to a KQ Fam song. 🤣

it's possible I'm taking a little too much joy in writing a bitchy Yoongi growling about everyone around him being idiots.

Maybe.

Possibly.

And yet I continue to Changbin about it. 🤣

Out of Context QotD (260410):

“… why are you still shirtless?”

“You ruined the only clothes I had.”

"[x] wasn't actually a god"

... WHAT translation of that post-conquest codex are you USING??

And also, have you told HIM that, because that was definitely a divinity that was tapping on my shoulders back in the day

It has been ZERO days since YT PPL fucking YT PPL'd in front of my salad and everything

not me covering my Spotify crimes behind having Scrivener detected as active 🤣

Not me getting blindsided by Bang Yedam yet a-fucking-gain (his cover of With Me bitchslapped me with FEELINGS again 😭 )

SIR! IF I WANTED TO CRY, I'D JUST CHOP ONIONS! 😭 😭

THERAPY BILLS! ALL OF THEM! ADDRESSED TO THIS ASSHOLE (AFFECTIONATE)!

The number of Kpop guilds I've come across in the very Chinese-themed My Garden Tale amuses me greatly.

Even more surprising, I really did get free flowers from the game and they lasted for over a week.

The game wants to microtransaction (or even macrotansaction) you to death, but it's entirely playable for no money spent as well. Which is good cuz I'm broke. 😅

GODDAMMIT MINGI, I AM NOT STRONG ENOUGH FOR YOUR BULLSHIT, GOOD SIR!

"Someone sent you an ecard!"

... yeah, it's my parents, using an ultra conservative Christian ecard site. 😬

(No, I did not click the link. I don't hate myself THAT much, yeurgh)

Out of Context Excerpt from an Unpublishable Fic:

“I didn't mean to make trouble.”

A snort that had to have been Sehun. “Don't make him say the thing,” the rapper mock growled even as he rolled his eyes.

“The thing?”

“Ohana means family,” Chanyeol said with a little nod.

“And family means no one gets left behind,” Kyungsoo finished, lips twitching.

“Or forgotten,” Lay added, openly grinning.

“… I hate all of you,” Sehun huffed.

Wait, wait, was no one going to tell me our captain can PLAY HARMONICA????

The "problem" with my having to put Gensou on official hiatus is now I need a completely fresh idea for a fic for Kenny. Sigh.

how to tell the genAI biz is completely full of shit, a short story.

So I got accepted for a market research survey about genAI companies & when I say it's very telling how there was exactly 1 place to say anything even close to negative about them....

Q: Who do you trust to protect your privacy?
A: [list of companies, no option to say none]

& it went on like that. Privacy, safety, utility to my life. Every question, no chance to say fuck all these assholes. Cuz they don't want to hear that.

In my morning headlines that I was mostly ignoring, there was an article with an entirely too long headline along the lines of "now that we have so much more music at our fingertips, why do we listen to even less new music?" and I don't know how to tell you that your techbro friends are to blame, Chad.

Might also have something to do with why we have fifty zillion Marvel movies instead of a crop of brand new, wholly original film (or at least not the same old Western Literature canon).

Making an (incomplete!!!!) list of SHINee's title tracks and then telling us to only pick THREE is cruel and unusual torment

The way the community is not picking Poet | Artist is ... well....

People tend to not notice because a) they're almost always black and b) Jjong-bear loves him a long-line overcoat, but that man also loves painted-on-tight jeans.

ah yes, the well familiar path of "I hate everything I've ever written"

brain worms are the worst

So unrelated to that.... I noticed I picked up a bunch of new followers lately and I'm guessing it's the paganism that did it?

I'm completely fine with that - I'm an out witch, among other things~

... but one of those Other Things is Shameless Kpop Abuela, so, yeah.
That's your it's too late, oops, warning. 🤣

when the writing swerves away from the outline and now you're being forced to pick which of three cousins is suddenly involved in this mess of a plot oh gods

The Captain Kim stories have picked up two interlopers, meaning the series is now loosely planned for ten stories (with room to grow still, of course). Only three have actual outlines, but the ideas keep churning in the back of my head.

I'm doomed.

Other than some critter (possibly armadillo) digging up one of the bell peppers I'd planted right before the storm, everything came through just fine. Even the pepper plant looked okay and I carefully put it back and tamped it down (but if it doesn't survive, oh well)

Flash is still coming to me for food while living up to his name by turning into a dark streak the second I open the front door.

The Week Ahead (May 10) https://ko-fi.com/post/The-Week-Ahead-May-10-D1D21ZCNDZ?fromEditor=true

a (delayed) look at my plans for the #writing week ahead, such as those are 😜

Too much new content, time to rewatch Comfort Show #3 for the five hundredth time

yup, just going to lose my mind screaming

If I ever do become a superpowered supervillain, I can almost guarantee it'll have been some Kpop fan nonsense that will have flipped that switch, jfc

The way my brain continues to be in denial that it's been ten years since NCT U's The 7th Sense....

I really need someone to crush my soul back into my body while someone else rallies a team to do a barn raising on my broken life

can I curl up in a corner and die now?
start of the month is always so stressful and draining
at least we got most of our replacement order today....even if some of the packages probably had to be brought over from where they were left at the wrong address 🙄

I'm not Aghase, so I have no idea how Jackson has infiltrated our lives, but the number of times "DAGFLABBIT JACKSON" is said in this house (mostly by my wife, who knows GOT7 even less than I do) is ... not small. And a bit telling.

(yes, yes, we're old...and if you got the reference, so are you)
