I guess I just needed to complain. Also this run wasn't even GOOD.

Also I decided to get some paid carats and take a spin on the half anniversary banner and WHOO HOO HOT GIRL SUMMER TIME
Screenshot showing me pulling [Hot Summer Night] Maruzensky for the first time and getting 60 of her star pieces. The rest of my ten pull, which had 2 Nice Nature, 1 El Condor Pasa, 1 Air Groove, 1 Mejiro Ryan, 1 Haru Urara, 1 Tachyon, 1 Matikanefukukitaru, and 1 Winning Ticket.

First panel: Popuko from Pop Team Epic is holding a hammer over a cuckoo clock. Her text has been edited to say "Your mother fucking life ends 24 days from now." Pasted over the clock is my current carat amount, which is 74,259. Second panel: Popuko continues to stand over the clock with the carats over it, saying nothing.

As I did my free pull today, I just had this unshakeable belief that it was going to be my turn to get a 3*. (Halloween magic?) And, yes! I got another copy of Hishi Amazon! 🥰

Of course my super cursed run where I got no stamina recovery skills she could use would result in this... she also got 3* Speed spark too.
Hishi Amazon becomes my second girl to get an A rank.

My package arrived TODAY omg, and they're even more beautiful in person. 😭 I have zero regrets... The sitting figure is a lot bigger, and heavier!, than I was expecting.

I totally cleared off my nightstand and put them both there, so they can guard my glasses while I sleep 💜
Two boxes of official Umamusume merch, both of Tachyon. One is a standing figurine of Tachy in her usual pose in her summer uniform. The other is a sitting figurine from Beginning of a New Era in a casual outfit with a beautiful and unhinged smile on her face. Both boxes are on a red blanket on my bed. The same two figurines, unboxed and assembled. Despite being cheaper, the sitting one is MUCH larger and heavier than the standing one.

I decided to do a single 10-pull on the summer banner just in case I got Maruzensky and - what the fuck?! 😭 I wanted both of these girls so bad?!
A 10-pull in Umamusume that has Symboli Rudolf and Hishi Amazon in it.

The more I play this game, the higher Gold Ship moves up my list of "best girls."
Gold Ship: There were a bunch of creeps with cameras out there so I screamed, "Look, a buncha creeps!"

Ghost Eaters by @claymcleod.bsky.social was my first horror book as an adult and I'm still thinking about it ~three years later! I'm scared of plastic sheets now. 5/5 💜

I forgot to mention, last night I had this amazing run with McQueen where I got her a plushie of her girlfriend, then beat the shit out of her in a race, and also got her the Senior Spring AND Autumn Triple Crowns. The latter gave me a unique event too!
McQueen is holding three plushies from the claw machine. One of Taiki Shuttle, one of Gold Ship, and a large one of herself. McQueen beat Gold Ship in the URA Finale semifinals by 6 lengths (DAMN). McQueen finished this career with a rating of 9,405 (B+), she ran in 18 races and won 16 of them, and she earned the Senior Autumn Triple Crown, the Senior Spring Triple Crown, and the Tenno Sweep.

"i love seeing my wife die under the weight of her fantasy wife."
It's a meme of a large yellow cartoon hand pinching the beak of a seagull shut. The seagull is a photograph. The meme has the word "shut" in white text along the bottom.

New Friday tradition: post a book you love by a favorite author of yours and tag them!

Radiance is an underappreciated gem in @catvalente.bsky.social oeuvre: an alt-history lunarpunk epistolary noir mystery about a missing documentarian. Wildly imaginative, I rep it every chance I get!
The cover of Radiance by Catherynne M. Valente. It features a golden silhouette of a woman looking through an old-school projector against a black background with some stars and the Earth in the background. The projector is emitting a triangle of cream light filled with stars and gears, along with the book's title. Valente's name is along the bottom on the image.

I don't even know what to say about this. I'm in shock. 😭

My partner has absurdly good video game luck and I'm with her right now so I thought "I'll do one last single pull with my paid carats!" and... yeah....
I pulled El Condor Pasa (Fantasy)! Yeah, on pull six of this banner. Six pulls. Not sixty, six. What???
