My face is having uncontrollable spasms. Great. It hurts really, really, really bad.
I think part of why I have trouble explaining pain to the doctor is when they ask about the pain scale I always think “Well, if someone threw me down a flight of stairs right now or punched me a few times, it would definitely hurt a lot more” so I end up saying a low number. I was reading an article that said that “10” is the most commonly reported number and that is baffling to me. When I woke up from surgery with an 8" incision in my body and I could hardly even speak, I was in the most horrific pain of my life but I said “6” because I thought “Well, if you hit me in the stomach, it would be worse.”

Every day those skeleton lesbians are on my dash beating the shit out of each other or making out or playing mario kart. I don't even know what kind of media the locked tomb is. Is it a tv series? A collection of plushies? A webcomic? A limited edition beverage with an oddly detailed lore behind it? Perchance. All of these questions and more could be solved by a simple google search, yet I kind of like having something that I have no context for - or understanding of - cross my dash occasionally. Adds a bit of spice. McGriddle and Shark? I hope they get gay married. I hope this isn't a queerbaiting situation or whatever. I hope they have lots of skeleton babies and their coffee shop continues to thrive. I hope they finally kill the onceler.

Shoving your icy appendages under their warm body when sitting/laying together and they don't complain but give you that little sigh. Bonus feels if they help readjust for maximum warmth.
I'm on my 15 minute break but I tried to list a bunch of my favourite off-brand love languages

“Mom, there’s someone under the bed.” You bend down and see your son there instead and he whispers “Mom that’s not me up there!” You take a step back when someone tugs your shirt. You turn, your son is in the closet asking “who are they?” You suddenly hear him calling from downstairs “Mommy?”

A "choose your own adventure" game but every choice still leads to the same ending: heartbreak.
adamantly anti TLT movie/series adaptation but adamantly pro TLT video game adaptation. it is the only way to recreate the authentic experience of not knowing what the fuck is happening

Oh baby. Sweet child. Little squishy heart.
I rejoice in your present enthusiasm. I mourn your future.
About 2/3 of the way through Gideon the Ninth for the first time and I’m really enjoying it! Definitely think the quote that best fits the book so far is, “Born to be a jock 😎💪 Forced to be a goth 😔💀” Can’t wait to see how it ends and continue the series.
