Oh thank god, an hour long, honest, positive video essay about the 12th Doctor that came out an hour ago.
This is....EXACTLY what I needed?
HA between this and the Valve news, I have to say I'm feeling a bit better as the evening rolls in, still a bit of a mess, but a lil' sturdier.

So I'd only looked into the Steam Frame news without watching the announcement video...oh...MY GOD?
A fully customizable, fully interactable and stream-betweenable, VR forward PC setup with a controler made to work EVERYTHING?
I-I don't even care about the games.

I wonder if there's a place where all the periods I've ever deleted to squeeze into a wordcount on social media go?
I wonder if they hate me? To be created to produce clarity, only to be sacrificed on the altar of conciseness at the price of grammatical structure...
...I've had too much caffeine.

Okay, I needed a pick-me-up, and I'm not gonna lie, Super Mario Galaxy is like my favorite Mario game, and when Rosalina popped up in the new movie trailer, I might have screamed.
HA the first one wasn't great but MAN does Illumination know how to make things pretty. I'm excited.

Q: You got multiple personality disorder or something?
A: Well...Technically speaking, that disorder no longer exists; the proper categorizations are DiD or OSDD, which lean away from that...

It's a bit of a tradition that whenever someone I cared about passes, I light a candle for them. Probably grasping at that 'Help lead their soul', 'A burning ember of memory' sort of catharsis.

I'm not gonna lie, I have had to light way too many candles in the last two years.

Okay...so when I moved in, I met a nice old couple who often said hi to me on dog walks. They adored Lumi, and sometimes I would bring them baked goods and talk, or help them with Doctor's appointments...
Their house burned down last night. The husband didn't make it out.
I...wow...

I think that immortality would be horrifying, and I do not desire it, BUT...
I REALLY wanna know how this era will be considered in 200 years, with all the imagined excuses, and societal training to accept the things that are 'Normal' now is gone.
I am just...SO curious.

It is finally cold enough to use my big weighted blanket. I love weighted blankets, but they're never heavy enough, I want to put three of them over me. I want to be like that one guy who died in The Witch Trials asking for more weight to be put on top of him.
Crush me sweet blanket.

Okay, I try not to put JK on people's timelines as I'm sure queer folks are absolutely SICK of being reminded she eixsts....HOWEVER
This is very true, if you want a fantasy universe that actually seems to explore gender identity in a fun, funny way, Terry Prattchet's take on Dwarves is GREAT.

A question I think to my self sometimes is what if Pepes leading "lady" was a male cat like in his 1st short?
What I mean is would people be as nearly upseting with pepe if the object of his affection was a guy he chased? Would people be more open to finding that more funny than him chasing a girl?

i also love this one, not least for the three quotations included
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aptophi...
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aptophi...
![Etymology
edit
Alteration of Latin aptus (whence English apt) + -philia. Coined by furry artist Caudlewag in 2018.
Noun
edit
aptophilia (uncountable)
(furry fandom, paraphilia) Attraction to the hypothetical utility or inconvenience (such as clumsiness) of unusual, nonhuman bodily traits. [from 2010s]
Synonym: apto
2023 December 21, NautileeSysters, “It ain't cheatin'”, in Fur Affinity[1]:
Some of our favorite type of multi aptophilia here. And we still adore the Big Chonky front pawb controller.
[2024 November 12, StormyFennec, Bluesky[2]:
Aptophilia is generally described as an interest in learning to navigate the world (both the good and bad) with a new body or body part that's foreign to you.]
2025 April 9, TyphinSkunk, Reddit[3]:
Mostly stories about deep exploration of post-TF life, because that is my absolute jam but almost every art sequence ends right after the transformation finishes. Give me my aptophilia fix, damn it!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:hghjj3jgylrrcgetrrxsyqo2/bafkreihq6vlxtwueytqt3sujhbt5ppomxzdollgwbpncssw4t5ipex5qyu@jpeg)

The aptophilia of it all really gets to me. Sure, its a kinky thing, but it's also more than that. Literally, even lol. To be 'more' than you are, simply by existing... to be uncontained and unashamed.

Speaking of Advance, I LOVE this cover so much. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted another game with a pair-up mechanic as bad as I do when I look at this cover.

Ha, I've never been a big Sonic fan, but I ADORE Tangle, she's SO GOSH DARN CUTE, and she and Whisper are SUCH a cute pair, I'm so glad they're popular enough for this.

Hey everyone, cool news!!! Tomorrow I'm a guest on a furry podcast! It'll be my very first time being on one and I'll be talking about me and my animation career. I'll let you guys know which podcast when it's recorded (don't want to hype it, if I bomb it! Or am I hyping it more with fewer details?)

You ever have one of those moments where you've seen someone's icon like...a thousand times but never really like...LOOKED at it?
Then you look at it and realize it's entirely different than whatever your brain half bothered to save it is.
Odd experience.

That autistic moment when someone mentions your hyperfixation and you can almost see the timer pop up above your their head for how long they're willing to listen about this, so you try to condense every thought in your head about it into about three sentences while the sonic drowning noise plays.
