Hot Cheeto Hatred returns?

theradioghost

I STEPPED OUTSIDE OF THE FRONT DOOR OF MY OWN HOME
ONLY TO FIND THE DEER THAT TRIED TO KICK MY ASS LAST
YEAR STANDING RIGHT THERE IN MY FRONT YARD. BOLD AS
BRASS.

AM I NOT SAFE ANYWHERE ANYMORE

theradioghost

for those of you who were not here last year: this deer is the most
obnoxious, unnatural red-orange color I've ever seen, only appears
when it's raining, and once chased me a quarter mile through the
woods. her name is Hot Cheeto Hatred and she is my nemesis

dude, ithink that's a fairy

So many happy doggos

All right, baby's first 4 intubations complete!

Feel like a real medic now.

It wasn't directly that instructor's fault but in my opinion he created the sort of environment where stuff like that could happen. And there was a lot of that.

Rosemary @athenarose.bsky.social · 1d

And then there's how one of the instructors was very bro-y and he eventually got fired after one of the students came back from a long lunch shitfaced, jumped in his car, got a DUI and thrown out of the program and fired from the company where we worked.

Rosemary @athenarose.bsky.social · 1d

Realizing my paramedic program kinda sucked even without COVID completely fucking us over.

I don't think I could recommend it to anyone in good faith realizing how much they didn't teach us that is supposed to be standard.

Rosemary @athenarose.bsky.social · 1d

I find it genuinely frightening and it's really only by chance I didn't get into that and just never stumbled across it.

Rosemary @athenarose.bsky.social · 1d

Considering I was discovering I was nonbinary, undiagnosed neurospicy (still am but we knew even less back then about that) and into a lot of that woo woo stuff and very *very* depressed and lonely they absolutely could have gotten me.

Rosemary @athenarose.bsky.social · 1d

I was listening to an interview with someone who was in that Twin Flames Universe cult. And would have been *so* vulnerable to that had I stumbled on it at the right time in my life.

I also really like the ED sung by Oguri's VA, Tomoyo Takayanagi.

I know the premise sounds silly but #Umamusume: Cinderella Grey is genuinely a really good show.

The animation is top notch and the opening is a banger.

You might notice the skeleton arm sticking out of the ground is in the V sign position that means "fuck you" in Britain which I did deliberately. Most Americans wouldn't know the difference from a peace sign.

Rosemary @athenarose.bsky.social · 1d

The kneeling skeleton is also kind of an accident because originally he was standing up but I couldn't get him to stay standing up so I positioned him like that which makes it look like he's fallen to his knees in despair.

Rosemary @athenarose.bsky.social · 1d

It's even funnier from this angle.

The funny part is the reason one of the skeletons is missing an arm was cuz I accidentally broke it while putting them away last season.

A Halloween display showing two skeletons, one in a wheelbarrow with a black cat raising both arms up and the right arm missing below the elbow and the other in a brown flat cap kneeling next to the wheelbarrow as if in despair, while off to the side a two headed season skeleton the size of a medium sized dog had the skeleton's arm in its mouths. There is also a sign reading "Beware Of Dog (crossed out) Dragon"

Rosemary @athenarose.bsky.social · 1d

Oh yeah, it's all coming together.

The story here is guy was taking his drunk buddy home in a wheelbarrow, didn't pay attention to the sign so buddy lost his arm.

I'm still laughing at Mare, a PC in my #Darkon game, who, for the second time in the course of about 24 hours, tripped and fell down the stairs because she realized she was talking to The capital T capital M Mists.

Rosemary @athenarose.bsky.social · 4d

My work partner told me something really funny yesterday, which is that being around me is the experience of hearing me go from the "pleasant customer service voice" to the "shut the fuck up" medic voice in the space of a breath.

IMO, #ttrpg criminals should be complex. Some can be outright evil, others should make players question if they have a point and yet others should be genuinely good people that your players want to help.

Makes the game more dynamic And the players think about how they affect the world💙

Tip for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilders out there...one that is very pertinent to the current political climate;

Criminal does not mean evil.

You really need to bear that in mind when you write criminals. Being in conflict with the law does not inherently make someone evil.

A little oil of adenosine will fix the SVT right up. Followed by some oil of steel toed boot applied directly to the forehead of these people trying to scam our seniors.
