I'm getting it on release since it's the last pokemon on switch1 and the last pokemon game I'll thus get . . . I'll be posting about what it's like.

The only thing to scare her was the evil bag of rocks. Which she chose to violently punch until the bag had a hole. Did not get to record that part sadly

👻Jay BOO!👻 @jaybugjabbers.bsky.social · 1d

(She was the runt of her litter, stunted her growth)
Her brother who is much larger than her, with softer fur, is much more affectionate and loud (she barely ever meows except if you pick her up). But he's also weirdly nervous. He looks to his sister for moral support.

She is an odd cat. Does not like to be pet very often but does sometimes. Likes to sit next to you but not on you. The sort of cat to stare at the wall for a few hrs. Not very shy or nervous, nothing much scares her, despite how teeny, teeny tiny she is.

👻Jay BOO!👻 @jaybugjabbers.bsky.social · 1d

She sounds like you are dooming her to be restrained for the rest of her life instead of holding her for like 15 seconds at most
I feel so sad every time it must be done

👻Jay BOO!👻 @jaybugjabbers.bsky.social · 1d

Watching the cats while some family is gone and mom's teeny, tiny cat sounds like the saddest, most upset creature in existence when she needs to be picked up

It's raining this evening . . . we really needed the water

Memories I did retain from her though, include her telling me and my brother about sourgrass (Oxalis pes-caprae) and how you can pick them and chew on the stems which taste very nice. And how she used to pick stork's bills (Erodium cicutarium) and push them together to create a pair of scissors

👻Jay BOO!👻 @jaybugjabbers.bsky.social · 2d

It also makes me want to write down more of my own memories before they fade even further. I have no children to pass such memories onto, after all.

👻Jay BOO!👻 @jaybugjabbers.bsky.social · 2d

Memories are so fragile. It saddens me sometimes. I wish I remembered better what she had told me, those fond memories of youth she had passed on.

👻Jay BOO!👻 @jaybugjabbers.bsky.social · 2d

A few months ago I showed her a buckeye I'd seen on the ground and she asked what it was. I was so surprised. She'd forgotten all about buckeyes and the story she'd told me. She was the one who first told me what they even were.

👻Jay BOO!👻 @jaybugjabbers.bsky.social · 2d

So that was neat to learn. My mother once told me a story about her childhood involving buckeyes. I don't quite recall now, I was a teen when she told it to me. Something she and her brothers used to do with them. Probably throw them at something, I imagine.

👻Jay BOO!👻 @jaybugjabbers.bsky.social · 2d

I noticed several trees on my walk that had completely shed their leaves, while everything else is still green (since as I said, the weather has only just now begun to start cooling). Looked it up and learned they are buckeye trees and they shed their leaves midsummer, very early.

👻Jay BOO!👻 @jaybugjabbers.bsky.social · 2d

It was the first cool day a few days ago (and today) since the start of summer. Summer's cruel grip has finally lessened enough that I can breathe again. And go outside. I've missed the outdoors so much.

Found a beetle shell on my walk today.

a smooth black empty beetle shell in my hand.

the underside of the shell, perfectly clean and empty. there's an orange oval-shaped bump on the side, not sure what it is.

I had looked forward to this album for so long. and something inside me died when he did that. it tainted it entirely for me. I never listened to the album. I still haven't heard it to this day.
my brother was an asshole. and I resolved to never, ever make someone feel that way.

👻Jay BOO!👻 @jaybugjabbers.bsky.social · 3d

I don't shit on ANYONE'S musical tastes. how ridiculous to make someone feel bad about something they enjoy.
I had a favorite band that came out with a new album one yr, near xmas. I waited to get it since it was on my list. my brother got it for me. as I opened it he told me why he hated the band.

adult content is turned off on my account btw
anyway I thought reddit was less horrible now but I guess not

👻Jay BOO!👻 @jaybugjabbers.bsky.social · 3d

I didn't sleep today, too tired to do much, so I was bored and decided to look on reddit for fun insect communities to join

Reddit gives me:
-fairly normal community
-community about hating a specific species of bug
-community about photos of killing bugs
-snuff video community
-I close the app
