I’m in chicken hell. I agreed to watch my moms birds while she gallivants for the month of December. I’m disabled but she said it would just be a matter of filling tubs of food.
It’s. Awful. We had chickens growing up. They had a big run, with a large insulated indoor coop, heat lamps, and table scraps. They got grain and water and had room to forage for bugs and plants.
But her current coop is a fucking nightmare. It’s a wire mesh cage with a roof, plastic along the sides, and a foot deep floor of filthy shit and straw to stand on. Their water was fully clogged with said straw, and one of the chickens was just dragging a lame foot around the first time I came to check on them.
I was distressed about the injured chicken but my mom said she just hasn’t had time to deal with it since it hatched. The chicken is a year old at least. There’s like six or seven chickens being kept in what I generously suppose to be 5x5 space for the month my parents are gone.
Today I was at my breaking point. I wanted to at least give them fresh water since they’re casually confined to a closet. All the hoses are completely disconnected and scattered wildly around with no clear hook up. There’s a gigantic green bucket full of water that I can’t feasibly do anything with.
When I called my mom indicated that I was being ridiculous and hysterical about it as they’re just chickens. But I could lay down straw if I wanted and use the green bucket for water. I had to explain that no, I’m not physically able to do either of those things. She said she’d call a neighbor to do it.
I went rogue and let them out to browse in an area they’re not supposed to be in for as long as I had energy to stand watch then regretfully hustled them back into their wretched coop.

You know what’s funny? How I can say that I headcanon a character as somewhere on the ace spectrum and/or aro spectrum, and within minutes I am being treated as if I am somehow very unintelligent and know nothing of the world.

I’m literally so mad that the reason Joan broke up with JFK was bc he wasn’t “emotionally mature”. Like are we forgetting about the prom episode. Are we forgetting about the entire reason they got together in the first place.

so people have been meeting DBB at a convention this weekend and asking him about TBB season 3. he obviously isn’t saying much about it, but he seems very positive about it. giving implications that it’ll be very emotional, but not necessarily in a bad way. also, he told someone that Hunter fans are gonna be very happy with this season. so yeah. my hopefulness has increased tenfold \o/

Going on a Baldur’s Gate 3 binge made me have a dream there was a new cutscene where if the player is romancing Astarion something happens where they get hit by a magic whatever and it kills them, fully stops their heart
And he’s doing CPR and starts with the whole acting angry to cover being scared thing, but then as the cutscene goes on he starts getting more panicked and frantic as it’s seemingly not working and the player character isn’t coming back until he’s fully just freaking out and begging/demanding the PC not actually die and leave him
And then of course they do come back and are alive and breathing again and he grabs them in a crushing hug and doesn’t have anything snarky to say
And it’s meant as a scene of just pure no walls unfiltered look at how he feels about the PC since he’s usually got some level of emotional wall up

can some fucking people stop being to celebrities like “oh this person is either gay or queerbaiting because their personality is making me interpret them as queer because they act ‘stereotypically’ gay and that if you act like this you have to be queer. so we’re gonna either force this person to come out via peer pressure when they may not want to or be ready to or bully them for acting a certain way if they’re not queer because that’s the only way i can accept these people acting this way.” it’s really fucked up, based on toxic patriarchal values, and plain homophobic. analyze these parts about yourself and put a stop to it. it’s not funny. it’s not doing the lgbtq community a favor. it’s an asshole thing to do and you better be leaving that shit in 2023.

Rick Sanchez peak autism moment in episode 3x02: when he’s having dinner with Beth and the robot kids and he keeps telling them things like ‘dial it back Summer… by 15% and increase dynamic movement by 3%’ and then when Beth starts crying he tries to console her and then tells her ‘try crying 15% less’

ok i wasn’t gonna say anything but this has been itching me; i was on ops side until they said steddie writers that write fem steve are just writing self inserts and i’m just…
if i wanted to write a self insert, i would write a self insert. but i’m not. i project onto some characters yes, but no fem character is rly anything like me because i’m trans masc, and tend to not relate to fem characters in regards to their femininity. when i write fem characters, they are *characters* that i’m writing.
also a queer man being feminine is not heteronormative. because no matter how feminine he is, he is still a queer man. his femininity does not take away from his queerness, and it is offensive and harmful to say it does. and even if in some fics hes written as a woman, whether cis or trans, it doesn’t fucking matter. if it bothers you, don’t read it. ao3 has a lovely tagging system to avoid what you don’t like, and you are responsible for the content you consume. don’t make it our fucking problem.

I have said this before but me being self proclaimed number 1 Ryoma fan and that being possibly literal-bc even if this bro had fans before me I might’ve simply done the most for him by talking about him so much + being the first to write fics that are in depth studies on his trauma across canons-I gotta say if there’s one other character I rotate a lot that isn’t him it’s probably Kei. (Shocking it’s not Hayato even if I do think about him too- but it’s usually associated with Ryoma bc gays 🗿)
I’m not even exaggerating when I say Kei would be my favorite and only isn’t because she doesn’t exist in many other canons yet my brain rotates the endless possibilities of how to incorporate her. I’ve already written a fic where she’s in shin vs neo verse which worked surprisingly well but I’ve been thinking how universally she could appear in other things. (Whether it be fitting her into a idea of a possible Go team in New or just a new canon completely) I think what I’ve narrow it down to is that she could be like- in Michirus role? Like she’s the supporting female who isn’t a pilot but helps out the real occasionally which I think would align very well especially with the original manga role she has of being Hayato’s assistant. And even if Hayato isn’t grandpa mode yet he still very much is in Saotomes position at that point. Not sure if she’d Hayato’s biological kid to further parallel Saotome and Michiru given well Hayato already adopts the Go team and his wife is irrelevant LOL.
I have no idea if I’ll ever write this specific idea but I’m still- rotating it cause this is such a easy way to get around “picking between Sho or Kei as the 2nd pilot” since both of them can still exist even if one doesn’t get to pilot, idm my supporting females. (Granted there could always be like- plot line where Sho gets hurt so Kei is temporary pilot but I can’t remember if Getter ever really did this since “once your hurt your ass is basically replaced” lol)
