moonvoiceI am a simple man who likes simple things and Kate McKinnon being willing to make such a mess of herself on Hot Ones made me incredibly happy.
Anyway this is just a quick break from playing Hades II because v.1.0 launched last night! I got one game in before bed (Toby was unimpressed), and am pretty much just going to be playing extremely badly (god SO badly, I played with the scythe today and just, haha, ah, sigh) and getting more story out of this game. It's fun pinging all the achievements (not that many) from previously gameplay and they're all at 0.1% rarity or whatever because not enough people have played this version of the game yet, it'll be nice to see the numbers go up.
It's humid today. The 20C might as well be 30C. I'm going to really miss winter this year, I'm not ready for summer, and spring is not playing around. She's a fickle thing. (Actually, Luflijka, you're not, I know you're doing your best).
I've been thinking of how antis/anti-shippers sometimes respond to 'don't like don't read' as though it's the worst thing to say, but it's really just the fandom equivalent of 'hey you remember what the safewords are right? You can safeword at any time.' It's like they resent being reminded of their ability to consent to reading fic, because they can't handle any form of self-accountability at all. And that's where we start, right before the bullying and the abuse takes place. Idk how anyone ever feels that an anti-shipper ever has a single leg to stand on, when that's the starting line.

Date: 2025-09-27 10:16 pm (UTC)Good luck playing <3 <3 I've been having fun going back to it :3 I think the achievement counters on Steam are also a bit broken for this one at the moment for some reason lol Whenever I check it on certain screens, even stuff I have with higher stats on other screens is at 0.0%. Maybe in a couple days they'll get it fixed. Given how hard some people go, absent maybe a bug or two, I highly doubt no one's gotten everything by now, especially when people like me are so relatively close (actually good players should be a lot farther than me lol).
It's very much a self-control thing. Antis/anti-shippers often act like someone is hounding them with a niche fic/story from a niche genre. Like people are breaking their door down to read it... rather than, you know... it's a niche thing in a niche genre (usually) and they have so many other options. And regardless, they don't have to read it. I have so little free time to read and watch all the things I want to engage with and I just cannot fathom the idea of obsessing over one thing that I can just choose to move on from.
