I feel the same pain. I have so many tales that I just need to get outta my head.

I was the same way when I took SSRIs when I was young. It made me feel really dull for a long time. But eventually I feel into a rhythm.

I wrote a 8-page essay in German analyzing propaganda films the night before it was due running off of only cheap pizzas, popcorn, and pineapple juice and never touched Google Translate once. I got an A.

KI kann mich am Arsch lecken.

I wrote the remaining 20 pages of a 30 page paper on historically comparative drought values the night before it was due AND last minute studied for the 3 finals I had over the course of the next 2 days of which I stayed awake for on a jug filled with NOS energy drinks and coffee grounds.

Fuck AI.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

I just realized that the Roaring Knight song works with anything that's ate syllables.

Just like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It's true. Why read A Court of Thorns and Roses when you could read the critically-acclaimed works of Dav Pilkey?

And before you ask, "Is Ape of the Hour anti-smut?"

I'm not. I just don't like the subterfuge of these recommendations.

There's a problem when you ask for capital L literature, and people recommend you 500 pages of suckin' and fuckin'.

You'll ask for a romance novel, they'll recommend you thinly veiled smut.

You'll ask for a horror book, they'll recommend the most misogynistic, homophobic, gorey shit possible.

You ask for a graphic novel, they'll recommend you a book made with 99% GenAI slop.

Just talk to a librarian.

Folks, if I might share an old man take:

Booktok is not good at book recommendations.

I like that a bunch of my friends turned in early last night after our Peak stream.

None of them survived the assblasts of agony.

Ape of the Hour 🦍 @apeofthehour.bsky.social · 1d

It is quite the refreshing experience!

Ape of the Hour 🦍 @apeofthehour.bsky.social · 1d

I'm glad I could make your Wade Whipple dreams come true!

I still firmly believe that the Hamsterdance should become the US national anthem.

🐹 Before viral videos on TikTok or YouTube, there was Hampsterdance.

Full of dancing hamster GIFs & a sped-up tune, it became one of the internet’s first viral hits.

You can still dance to it on the #WaybackMachine ➡️ web.archive.org/web/19991222...

As a kid, I just listened to those for hours. It drove my parents nuts.

For reference, I'm Fester [Hero Story] and @pronging.bsky.social is Fester [Dark Story]

You mean the sequel to Fester's Quest DX Director's Cut?

Hi, I'm Fester. Fester Addams.

Post a female anime character you love.

I went to watch (for like the 10th) Perfect Blue, but on the big screen!

It was great to watch one of my favorite films in an actual movie theater!

The title "Perfect Blue" on a film screen.

It's crazy for me to think that Silent Hill 2, Fatal Frame, Eternal Darkness, and Illbleed all came out in the SAME DAMN YEAR.

2001 was a good year for horror gamers.

I've had to get premium out of necessity. Though it still is extremely shitty that the base service is so ad-heavy.

Ape of the Hour 🦍 @apeofthehour.bsky.social · 6d

Thinking of making my own Dracula flow...
