someone I know once commented on my knitting saying it was very machine like and I couldn’t tell if it was a backhanded compliment or an insult or whatever but sorry lady, autism makes it so that if I do the same thing over and over and over again I get good at it. and stockinette is exactly that

my special ebay purchase came in! I’ve wanted this fan forever but people were asking ridiculous prices for it, I finally decided to ‘lowball’ someone who had it up for years (I offered $25 instead of $40) and they accepted. when it came it had a sticker for 400¥ so they did well.

a plastic fan with imagery from majin tantei nougami neuro on it. in the background is some nendoroids of neuro and yako (along with alucard from hellsing)

I gave up monster for like a month to prove I’m not addicted to energy drinks so I think I’m going to buy one and have it next week as a treat. I’m going to get so much cleaning done like you won’t even believe. I don’t NEED a monster but goddam it gives me a temporary level up no tea can give

Genshin really planned out the 6.0 new 5* releases to be so deadly, like hot deer woman and hot graveyard guy.

he runs so stupid and his flapping mullet. I love him

sky @turboseance.bsky.social · 15d

I’m so glad I got him, I was going crazy trying to get as many quests done and get chests for wishes but finally got him after 83 pulls! worth it, I keep having him randomly do 60-90k damage at lvl 70 with level 3 skills. he’s so good wow

I’m so glad I got Lauma without having to spend money, that’ll make Flins easier to get. she’s so pretty though

terrible to have one of your autistic special interests be a niche relatively unknown series from the mid 2000s with limited merch that makes resellers think it’s worth asking stupid prices for and then having it sit unsold for years and years

I bought this fan recently, it’d been on ebay for longer than I can recall so I sent a reasonable lowball offer (15$ cad less) and they accepted so I’ll have this at least

I’m saving a few anime from this season to watch in the next because not much has caught my attention so far.

why do I not like pessimistic stories? because the world is depressing and harsh and cruel and I don’t want to engage in fiction that can’t imagine a better world or whatever. like bro the world is so awful right now, I want the happy ending!!! or at least one that isn’t totally miserable and sad

sky @turboseance.bsky.social · Sep 19

Clevatess was a really enjoyable anime this season that I wasn’t expecting to like from the synopsis. ‘dark’ anime are often too pessimistic for my tastes but I liked that this one had a kind of optimistic edge. and also the traditional animation is great, seeing the layers brought me joy

i had a dentist once get worried about my mangled cheeks inside my mouth and i was like ‘don’t worry it’s scarred from being constantly accidentally chewed’ and she took another look and was like ‘okay that makes sense’

I guess it’s good that the $140 Neuro promotional illustration on suruga-ya sold because I came into a nice little bit of money and was genuinely thinking about buying it. now I can save that money

oh no now they’re after figs… I scooped them up this morning too. I didn’t hit up the crab apple tree but like… I don’t think they’re ripe yet

my roommate is outside my window with a guy she’s teaching to DJ and they want berries but uh-oh… guess who picked all the berries this morning?
