We're making her hair this color, and I wanted to see if it would look extra blue if I made her Platinum first so I'll let you guys know in like an hour how that turns out.

### Another Another fraying, torn-out wire. Another aching city-spire. Another system gone haywire. Another breaking, crashing wave. Another ocean-buried grave. Another notion of a slave. Another day trapped in her bunker. Another shattered sky above her. Another civilization lost. Back to page one, bear your cost.

name 4 dormant/dead franchises you want to be brought back
This game was supposed to merge The Sims and Sim City and was abandoned. I still want it. StarFox 64!~ (System Shock 2) Bioshock is not the same Wing Commander 2: Bring back the whole series. I just picked the one with the best boxart.

Actual Mastodon experience.
A four-panel parody meme of the “never again blob” from Owlturd Comix’s “Vulnerable.” The comic features a round pink blob character coming out of a box and being pushed back in, illustrating a brief journey through idealism and disillusionment. Panel 1: The blob looks cheerful and hopeful in a box. Text: “WANTS TO START A SHARED ONLINE SPACE.” Panel 2: The blob starts to explore, curious. Text: “‘I WONDER WHAT MASTODON IS LIKE.’” Panel 3: The blob is violently shoved back in the box by an arm labeled with hostile terms: “TRANSPHOBIA, TECHNO-LUDDISM, ‘HACKERS’, MISANTHROPES, ECHO CHAMBERS, STORMFRONTERS…” Panel 4: The blob returns to the box, calm and firm, now surrounded by a thicker shell. Text: “NEVER AGAIN.” This meme format uses a simple character to dramatize vulnerability followed by rejection. The joke lies in the blob’s naive optimism being crushed by a chaotic, toxic reality; here, it's the unexpected hostility found on Mastodon. The final panel’s “NEVER AGAIN” is a dry punchline, signaling the blob’s quiet refusal to re-engage.

Shaking the cobwebs out with a new hardware device and I drew a cute little flower I like this thing // why did I ever try drawing on a trackball oh wait I didn't have a choice

Would have been really really hard to do art in bed before. Kind of made this inaccessible with my disabilities.

So this is really revealing here but I like showing this. I only have this one picture from me from the before-fore times, and it's always a trip.

When I was the person on the left, or even the one in the middle, I never thought I'd be the person on the right.

Because discord is a scary and terrible place that will leak your data and your ID to threat actors you should probably switch to Matrix.

Something that helps me when I meet new people.
A screenshot of a Tumblr post by a user named "homoquartz." The post is written in plain text on a white background. The username "homoquartz" appears at the top, followed by the body of the post. The text reads: "i’ve warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises. as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, 'i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.' small talk isn’t to get to know a person. it’s just a greeting to affirm you’re buddies in the universe. i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it." The layout is simple, with black text on a white background, resembling a typical Tumblr post.

Loneliness and depersonalization feel very similar. I don't deal a lot with the former but I do with the latter, so when I saw your message in my mutuals tab I wanted to help you feel something warm tonight.

I'm making the sauce now btw, cooking the mirin and soy sauce down!
A close-up photo of a pan on a stovetop filled with chunks of meat simmering in a glossy brown sauce. Steam rises from the surface, showing that the food is hot and still cooking. The sauce looks thick and rich, coating the meat as it bubbles. In the background, part of a kettle and other kitchen items are faintly visible, slightly out of focus, giving the impression of a home kitchen in use. The lighting highlights the sheen of the chicken.

Homemade teriyaki in a skillet. A close-up photo of a black frying pan filled with several pieces of cooked meat, likely pork chops or chicken breasts. The meat is golden brown with darker seared edges, showing a crispy, seasoned exterior. Steam rises from the pan, indicating the food is hot and freshly cooked. The surface of the meat has visible texture from browning and seasoning, with some areas glistening from cooking juices or oil. The background is dark and out of focus, keeping attention on the pan and the meat inside. There is no text in the image.

Fin!
Burrito sliced in half on a plate, showing off its insides: juicy chicken, sautéed onions (integrated into the adobo sauce), melted cheese. Tortilla lightly toasted. Proof that leftover adobo can reincarnate as fajitas if you believe hard enough.

A freshly rolled burrito sitting on a white plate with blue dots. Stove and pots lurking in the background. It’s neat, it’s plump, and it’s about to get toasted, like me after two dabs. Burrito in a frying pan, surface browning into that golden, crispy seal of approval. Kitchen chaos in the background, but all eyes are on the tortilla glow-up.

Close-up of shredded chicken browning in a frying pan, edges crisping in oil. Background clutter of pots and spices says: yes, this is a home kitchen, not a food blog. Smells like victory though. Flour tortilla laid out on a plate, topped with chicken and a generous scatter of shredded cheese (sharp cheddar, queso quesadilla and a little bit of real parmesan mixed). The fajita assembly line in progress... aka, the point of no return.

I made fajitas! (From the leftover Chicken Adobo).

↓🧵
Two pieces of chicken sizzling in a non-stick pan, glazed in leftover adobo sauce. Behind them: a pot bubbling away, a bowl streaked with marinade, and a container of more chicken waiting its turn. Basically: the fajita origin story, shot on location in my kitchen. Glass container full of shredded chicken in a reddish-brown sauce, parked next to a pack of large flour tortillas. The mise en place of destiny: tortillas meet adobo leftovers, and fajitas are about to happen.
