A TENDER HEART - Annette suffers from dissociative amnesia and unfortunately for her charming Tinder date, who has his own nefarious intentions, she’s starting to solve the puzzle of her past.

→ She sits on the fleor, hands in her lap as it looms before her like a womb; dark and tepic
Something drips onto the pale yellow linoleum tile as the Annette sits in a trancelike state
fingers twitching.

Taking a deep breath, her vision blurs as she tries to focus on the tiny imperfections on her bedroom ceiling; the little divots, a yellowing water stain, a long abandoned spider's web.
Her mother hadn't answered her earlier in the kitchen, but it was clear by the guilty silence that followed her question that she knew what wa…

My fav headline from this year:

Headline from PC Gamer article that reads: "Hideo Kojima says he won't play the MGS 3 remake, mentions he knows loads of ways to kill people, doesn't elaborate, leaves"

The inscription on that ring reads “The World is Yours” which I think suits the whole vibe.

I do find it very interesting that men defending a misogynist immediately move to discredit smart women lol

Some random weirdo just posted “engineer, huh?” On my Keaton post and then deleted it after my posts about Hubble’s Law 💀

GATTACA. “I never saved anything for the swim back.” The other part is on the opposite hand.
