You know when you have a fever and you simultaneously feel too cold and too hot? That's how I feel about love—I want it yet I don't. Maybe adieu was right when she said この命は呪いか愛だ.

Just the idea that someone thought, "Jodie Foster will love me after I kill Ronald Reagan." John Hinckley Jr didn't succeed however, so we will never know for certain if assassinating a president is a good way to get laid.

@basezero.xipha.social It's not like you to go a day without tweeting, so I hope you're doing okay. You certainly deserve a break from all the health scares.

Maybe using 20 year old eyeliner was a mistake, cause the lead broke in my eye and this shit hurts. I'm over subverting gender. I'm hypermasculine from this day onward.

I wonder if it was a coincidence that Inuyasha's first ED, featuring Kagome, Kikyo, and Sango, was performed by a three-piece girl group. The purest, most potent nostalgia from this one.

I think I finally figured out the water metaphor from Memoirs of a Geisha (spoilers). Water is enduring, but it always is manipulated by outside forces. Gravity pushes water downstream and controls the tides. The cold turns it to ice. It floats as vapor and falls as rain.

Remember when the teacher would turn off the lights on a hot day, and we actually believed that would make the classroom cooler?

This is the most beautiful phenomena in nature. Despite being a parasite-host relationship, there is still the love of a parent and child between them. Love makes us weak, vulnerable, but it colors our lives in a way no one would want to live without. To risk yourself for something so intangible...

Found $25 on the ground. Took the $20, but left the fiver out of some strange feeling of guilt taking it all for myself.

I like friendly rivals in Pokemon. High school kinda sucked for me, so I love the fantasy of kids being unequivocally supportive of other kids.

The backyard is just grass, and then there's this one giant flower dead smack in the center. 一番大きな一輪ではないか?

You ever Facetime your mom and realize she cute as hell? It's like when Lillie told Lusamine, "When did you...start becoming beautiful?" ...Isn't that what happened?

なぜベルは毎回後ろから来るのか?友達と共に進みたいんですけど。ベルよ、友達と呼ぶなのに、度に置き去りにしてごめん。 TL;DR Bianca has the best theme in Pokemon (and this isn't even the best version of it)

I'm not so good with French, but I'm looking for good womenーles bien femmes.

Hell yeah paying for gigabit internet and getting 5 megabit instead. Oh and they pushed IPTV on us (as opposed to cable TV) so that doesn't work either. Worthless pissant ISP.

I think the 2/3 estimation was a little generous. Elevation-wise, I only got about halfway up the mountain. To be fair, I had to ride a bike 16km just to get to the trailhead. Even if I budgeted two days, I'm not sure my legs would hold out.

Fasting shouldn't be as hard as it is. You don't have to cook, or wash dishes, or buy ingredients. How is less effort more difficult?

I'm dying and I only went like 2/3 up the mountain. Got jumpscared by a bear lying on the road, so that was kinda cool.

It's a great weekend to solo climb a mountain, but I'm still kind of a walking mucus factory so idk if I should send it

I know I was just putting down bourgeois materialism, but damn Kimetsu no Yaiba looks SO GOOD on the OLED

Edamame is proof God is real and provided us mortals the perfect alimentation

Been digging the new-ish Japandroids album, even though every song is about how being platonic friends with a woman is insufficient, AKA fighting words to an asexual.

I don't get "human" aesthetics. I thought simply removing Takamaki's makeup would make her more androgynous, but that didn't really happen. I'd like to think she's my favorite P5 girl based on more than looks, but I doubt myself. Vile hedonistic fiend.

I can handle being sick, I can handle allergies, but both at the same time is kinda sucking. Almost going through a tissue box a day right now.

You have a very radiant soul, person in Asakusa who made these shelters for stray cats.

Another GIF test. A trick or treater from five years ago.

I never appreciated how hard it is to write dialects and accents, and Chrono Cross does it A LOT. Like Poshul was doing heckin doggo speak long before that was a thing.

When you drop your phone on the floor, but it doesn't break because it's cheap laminate and not real tile. Feels good to be a commoner.

Weekend road trip, which means I better make some progress reading The Second Sex. At the speed I'm reading the book, we'll probably be at 10th wave feminism by the time I finish.

What's unfortunate is that this episode's director, Shouko Ikeda, tended to work on episodes ending in 3 or 8, which sidesteps nearly every major Sesshomaru appearance. The Ikeda episodes that Sesh does appear in are 34, 88, 113, 123, and 143.

I take pride in that time I bought anime merch of only male characters.

My pet peeve is when an anime has fanservice but only in the first 2-3 episodes. You embarrass the normies AND bait-and-switch the degenerates.

I really should've went to pride tie dye night. Little socially anxious bitch strikes again.

I said some harsh things about makeup earlier, and I'd like to amend that. Makeup is not inherently inauthentic, despite my misgivings. I just don't want anyone to think, "I'm a woman, so I must..." or, "I'm a woman, so I must not..." This goes for ethnicity, nationality, age, etc. as well.

I used to be kinda alright at making dubstep until colour bass happened

When I stopped being so judgmental about how other people look, my own insecurities faded away.

To me, the meaning of this Disco Elysium quote is that criticism of capitalism will lead to desultory, piecemeal improvements to societyーjust enough to forestall revolution. Regulation, taxes, and charity are like putting bandaids on cancer.

No disrespect, but if you've ever set your Facebook relationship status to "It's Complicated," there's a 99% chance you're trash

Been buying a lot of "stuff" recently, knowing all along that what I really want cannot simply be purchased.
