thirty & flirty & thriving / shower drains HATE them

The phantom of the opera is here, inside your mind

i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

Artificial violence is not actually a corrupting influence but hanging out with assholes sure is.

the real corruption was the friends we made along the way

the allergy i am seeing grow up around small talk in any form is troubling to me. do you know how to make friends with people in your physical environment? it typically starts with small talk. do you want to live in community? small talk. do you want to have the type of relationship with your neighbors where you can run over and borrow a battery for your smoke detector when it starts beeping at 10pm? small talk!! do you want leeway from your coworkers when you fuck up something small? you gotta be able to build a relationship and that's small talk, baybeee.

"but i don't need friends and i don't care about community!" okay, lone ranger, what about the people in your community who need you? "but i have social anxiety!" me too, bud! we simply must soldier on. making up lists of questions to ask people helps. and people are predisposed to be generous, i've found. even if you make some kind of mistake, what is this but the natural give and take of human interaction? nobody is perfect.

you were not put on this earth to live by yourself and then die. you need people and people need you. treat those around you with curiosity and generousness of spirit and you will gain so much goodwill in return.

near deathnote doodles. his boyish whimsy and debilitating ptsd have captivated me.............

Sometimes I remember that Sanson canonically, CANONICALLY, not fanon, will follow Guydelot into the forest so he can listen to him play music without Guydelot knowing and I feel like I have to run through a brick wall.

Wait, when does this happen?!

When you talk to Jehantel at the end of the level 80 bard capstone quest, he will tell you that Guydelot goes off to practice music in the woods and unbeknownst to him, he has an audience, Sanson, who follows him to listen. 🥲🥲🥲
