hi. i love u. ever since i played stray gods ive been wanting to see a site with a similar concept

hbomberguy's video has done irreparable things to my psyche since 2019, you absolutely get it

true friendship is when they're more than willing to read your 20-paragraph long essay on a pretentious indie eastern european survival horror game from 2005 and then STILL ask questions about why you're absolutely obsessed with a single pretentious white man who can only ever take Ls in said game before proceeding to read your followup 20-paragraph long essay on said white man

this is easily the most ominous thing i have ever said to anyone

YOU UNDERSTAND. I MISS MY FUN STEPPE VACATION AND TORMENTOUS NIGHTMARE SO MUCH

there is absolutely nothing heterosexual about telling another man that you are not a person of mystical inclinations. yet when you look at him you get the feeling nature is playing jokes on you both. that its as if the left hand and the right hand have clutched the head to realize for the first time that they are two parts of a single whole. in this essay—

save me new pillars of eternity game save me

an insanely cool way to do smth like this for a site, props to yall my good dudes

havent been writing in a hot sec until today, and i liked this one. short, simple, says enough

"They all live in me, and I keep living because the rest of me and my histories wants to do the living. Raise my cup and dance. This world's shit, but it's got good music."

had one of those semi-existentialist serious "what is the meaning of life when you're in your early 20s and are still figuring shit out" talks with an rl friend earlier today, and not to sound like a cliché tumblr post, but i do love the philosophy that "the meaning of life in your early 20s is to just exist and be with the people you love and people who love you and talk, and do, dumb shit with love".

like legit this whole day was 90% talking with different co-workers and friends about weird, mundane, or simple things — i got the deeplore of dragons dogma 2 gameplay and how its frames were tweaked differently to improve it from its predecessor from my usually stoic dm, for one example. i have no strong feelings about dragons dogma in itself— but like, damn. that philosophy rlly just hit hella hard today. it's dope as hell.

now also realizing i feel like the equivalent of the webtoon misunderstood stoic bad boy who smiles softly upon seeing the protagonist do something mundane while they're looking away. maybe i was the bad boy picking up stray cats all along, dang.

finished Before We Disappear by Shaun David Hutchinson and tbh, while i'm pretty indifferent to the main romance (mainly i've found i'm not rlly invested in cute romances btwn an all good character undergoing a lot of trauma & the character who saves him from his environment while they happen to be perfect for each other), this passage was such a banger 



the next time i write a tragic ship, i want to write a line with this energy.

also started What My Bones Know: A Memoir of Healing From Complex Trauma by Stephanie Foo, just past the prologue, and i can tell this is gonna be a heavy book but if my experience with it is anything like with Channel Miller's Know My Name, let's go. rlly liking how she writes, like w this passage



update 15 hours later: finished What My Bones Know, got an existential crisis and processed a lot of personal stuff LMAO, but i did head off to now start When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo. i used the previous novella in this series for a stellar paper on how history archives poc women two years back and enjoyed both that novella and paper a hell of a lot, so it's high time i started the sequel

edit several hours later: the singing hills cycle is such a good series. if anyone told me id be invested in the sapphic coded courtship between a tiger and a scholar in a viet-coded fantasy, i wouldn't believe you. but this passage is such a good one and nghi vo is an incredible writer, man

i can't wait to set something on fire in the city as per my legal contract with you <3
