I’m like if “dourness” were a person. Opinions are mine. He/him/his.

FRIEND: Keith seems like he would bite a vampire and become one instead of getting bitten BY a vampire.
ME: Yeah, that’s true. That’s definitely how it would’ve happened if it did happen.

“Make sure you’re spending time with people. It’s important for your mental to health to know you’re not alone right now.” is excellent advice from my therapist.
It also goes out the window when I get home, am entirely alone, and realize I won’t even be seeing people in a work context tomorrow.

When I was in elementary school, I was in Boys’ Choir for ~3 or 4 years. We mostly sang Christmas songs.
It left me with an intense dislike of Christmas music that persists to this day. The only Christmas song I like is “Happy Xmas (War is Over).”

What is your favorite "Christian" Christmas song and what is your favorite "Secular" Christmas song?
I will probably always adore "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" for Christian.
And "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" for secular.

THERAPIST: So you haven’t talked to this person you have complicated feelings for about those feelings?
ME: No. I’d rather just put a little distance between us so those feelings can fade.
THERAPIST: That’s certainly a choice you could make.

Realized last weekend I can finally purge my memory of anime series I don’t care about, and maybe enjoy the genre again.

A friend and I were talking about Switch games over text, and we realized we were both playing Animal Crossing.
They asked to see my island, I asked to see theirs, they called me, and we spent a couple hours talking on the phone and showing off the little worlds we’d built on our islands.

The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them
A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

PERSON: You’re not tied to a desk all day now, so must be going for midday walks and stuff.
ME: Haha, yeah, I must be. I’m definitely not sleeping until noon, then laying in bed until 1:30 because I’m in shock emotionally and as I recover feel more and more anxious and depressed.

I’ve spent most of my life feeling like an inconvenience to people. That I need to apologize for existing or make myself smaller for them to take up less space.
So it’s hard to reconcile that now there are people who WANT me to take up space in their lives, to exist, and not apologize for it.

Also if youre screaming about CR and their subtitles but are silent on Amazon *dubbing an entire show* with AI then its clear you only cared because it effects your subs and not the entire anime localization sphere. A company with more money than god should not be dubbing using AI

Reminder: If you have to see relatives or familial acquaintances that give you shit for who you are this week or during the December holidays, tell them to go eat glass.
They don’t get to shame you, say hurtful things, or devalue your humanity just because they knew you when you were younger.

A couple of years ago a former VIZ employee (who had moved on to a competitor) asked me to describe my job to him. I did, and he didn’t seem to get it.
I never knew if he was intentionally being obtuse, or just was that way, but let’s break it down now in case anyone is curious. 🧵 1/11

I wept, I related more than I thought to the Creature. Will definitely watch again.
