Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
-Water! Snack! Meds! Caffeine! Also stretch, please.
-Your worth as a person isn’t tied to how useful you are.
-The Cursed Object said it doesn’t know what thing caused everything to be this way, but it will keep looking.

The ones that come to mind:
For lower social classes: bloody or bloody hell, fuck or fucking.
For upper social classes: Blazes, damned.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie:
- Sit up straight, drink some water, take your meds.
- You can be sweet AND full of weary rage.
- I think we need to help the ghost choir add more soothing tunes to their collection. Yesterday was a little screechy for me.

In what context are you looking for? To refer to sex? As an emphasis, like "this is fucking difficult"?

'Cringe' is "embarrassment".

Embarrassment is "Feeling self-conscious due to some event or circumstance"

Y'all. If you feel cringe, get you some self confidence! You are too awesome to be embarrassed!

If you call someone cringe, quit being a douche and go hype someone you love!

If you've prepared your patch properly, by now your pumpkins should be:
- humming slightly
- levitating a little
- visited nightly by dark fairies
- sinking their vines into other plants to drain them of energy
- murmering dark incantations to the elder gods

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

Murlin @murlin.bsky.social · 15d

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.
