Oh, she’d be utterly horrified. Which, I feel, is what makes the show such a great adaptation. It’s faithful to the spirit and heart of the books, not slavishly following them.

Give folks their flowers

No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier

"They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.

You are not The Exception to the fact trauma impacts the human nervous & endocrine systems in predictable ways; & you won't be the first survivor in the history of trauma to figure out how to recover while still invalidating your pain & ignoring your needs.

Sorry, not sorry.

hahahahahaha had to remind myself about that second line. In case you're wondering about reasons I post these things.

Today's mood:

An image of Hannibal Lecter, from the Hannibal TV show, looking like he's taking a deep breath to keep from losing his temper. The text on the photo says "(lord grant me patience not to turn everyone into tacos)".

Yes, I use this image a LOT.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Take a few deep breaths, drink some water, take your meds.
-Don’t seek out the social media of people you’ve removed from your life.
-The Cursed Object is the one shrieking “don’t read my diary!” for a change.
❤️ Auntie Jilli

No advice from your Goth Auntie today because of migraines and meetings. Drink some water, take your meds, and be gentle with yourself.

For those still on the hellscape of FB (yeah, I'm still there, there are friends who aren't anywhere else), I just posted a dress, shoes, and two pieces of jewelry for sale. In case anyone is interested. 😀

You look fabulous today!
It's not easy to pull off that bold mix of rumpled sweaters, exhaustion, and the dusty darkness of a cluttered used bookstore.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Listen to a song you like and dance around. Drink some water, take your meds.
-You have to take care of yourself before you can take care of others.
-The Distant Ominous Music may try some new instruments; be prepared for extra weirdness.

I already have one (that I want to keep b&w), so I know the gores are necessary to give the effect I want over my skirts.
