adjacent take, people who hate Tidus because they think Yuna should've been the main character don't understand how important to FFX's story it is that the player isn't following Yuna's perspective

Also, big ask! Any of my mates on here trans or non-binary and Christian and wouldn't mind giving me a message? In discussing queer jesus for my diss I want to include a quote from a queer person describing the relationship between queer identities and their faith. Thanks 😊

I was once at the wonderland that is Gigi Gao's Chinese restaurant and got a fortune cookie that said
"Men are not to be trusted"
and since then I've never disregarded the wisdom of the fortune cookie

It’s giving Russian fortune cookie.
I don't understand what is written on the screen in this photo, but it gives me life. Is it Dostoevsky?

Lol realised I'd completely forgotten to talk about Jesus' dick in my diss. Embarrassing oversight on my part as a) someone who likes Jesus and b) someone who loves dick

It's such a struggle when caffeine has no effect on you cause how tf am I supposed to stay awake all night writing? I've had five espressos in the past hour and I'm drifting off. That said, I've heard good things about meth...

My tortoise, Mary Shelley, just crawled over my laptop and somehow deleted the paragraph in my dissertation I've been working on for half an hour. True to her most famous work the child is determined to destroy the father. She turned to me and her beady eyes said "I am your monster"

My world view
If you don't want me to eat the massive spring roll then don't take me places that serve massive spring rolls. This is on you

My world view
One day, everything will be okay. The world's wealth won't be hoarded by a bunch of earth-cannibalising psychopaths. We will all have what we need to live fully and joyfully. Pints will be cheap, travel will be free, and no one will have to go homeless or hungry. It'll happen. I promise

Trying to warn the electrician about Nain, my false widow who lives in the kitchen vent, and requesting that he not disturb her while also trying not to sound like a crazy person who keeps a venomous spider as a quasi-pet and feeds her flies (I am not succeeding)
