ok i’m at work, i’m working, need to work the working, so this post will be short (she is lying)

Oh no ofc, I just appreciate all rodents and other similar Lil Guys. I mean what are cats if not oversized rodents?

damn totally, i love animals, allergic to cats tho :(

if the soviet gubmint was oppressing the church, good, lmao.

i uh don’t use this language in front of them, but I have been to Russian churches, and seem what that kind of belief system provides. I … secretly … agree, completely. It fucked me up, I’m thirty-X years and still struggle with things from it.

by like cutting them off for a decade, classic strat I use it myself.

haha many such cases

I do not do this :3 I am the weird autist everywhere I go.

this is why I like you & magi, I love this. I’m sick of hiding, it’s so much effort. And if I have to hide, I want to minimize the amount of time I’m doing it. I was masking 24/7, even from Safe Partner, before I discovered what it was. I’m finding myself unable to mask in some situations, now that I know what it is (and I’m also finding that I was not masking already in a lot of ways) - I have a problem presenting anything but authentically. I can’t lie or even lie by omission (as I’m sure you’ve noticed, I give big answers to small questions because, in part, I want no room for misunderstandings).

Although I do engage in the “mask and just talk about safe topics” because am I gonna explain Unjust Depths or even Wayhaven to my 60something year old dad???

tru, I have not mentioned Wayhaven, but I would probably talk to him about Unjust Depths (once I read it) just to confuse him or to rant about communism lol. They like hearing about communism from me, he feels very seen when I start talking about it, my mom too I think. He usually likes it when I rant for an hour or two, but sometimes I feel like I should at least attempt to talk about things he might be interested in.

I did make him really mad by saying that the existence of Russia as it stands is entirely the west’s fault, lmao.

based, let’s hope it’s the kind of mad that turns into eventual agreement.

Yeah sounds breddy gud honestly =)

thank you for reading!! i never know how long anything I write will be, it can be tough to figure out how much I have to say until I’m actually saying it, and I try not to give only partial thoughts. Every serious post is all in for me, unless I am tired or distracted.

This makes me snort, and Tactics Ogre Enjoyer’s Wife? I said to wifey that of all possible things to be identified by, that’s a pretty good one, lmao.

I call magi Goth Wife, actually (I hope that’s ok!!!). I’m glad to hear you talk about me, I thought I was being weird doing the same with Safe Partner. At least knowing it’s mutual helps haha. I’ve called you Tactics Ogre Enjoyer since I saw you posting about Tactics Ogre, before we started really talking and while I was still too scared to post. I will try to update my mental model haha, but it may take a while. (also, how to pronounce magi? “maj-eye”? “mah-jee”?)

(this is extremely weird sorry…) I struggle to try to explain the nickname thing, I do it for some people. There’s something weirdly intimate about me in particular referring to a person by a name that could be given to an actual human, it’s like saying they’re a close friend, or that I would be sad if they stopped talking to me or disappeared. (100% not an issue on the receiving end, dw). Maybe it’s that I get a lot of emotions about people easily, and this lets me kind of keep a polite distance to protect myself. That’s the best interpretation I have right now, maybe hold off reading too much into it as I’m not totally confident this is 100% me fr fr yet. I use nicknames for fun, too, they’re usually fun to say, and it’s 100% used as a term of endearment.

Of course, I figure I’m the only one that thinks this way, since it’s really really weird lol.

I will attempt to affect “Kara” though, saw on your Wayhaven save!! Very cool!!

oh shit, actually, was the last name on there?

My wife and I went back and forth for ages about its pronounciation and still stumble over it often!!! Grrrrrrrr joke too good!!

it’s a unique vocal thing I do, I mix up phenomes in words, sometimes I swap back and forth between correct and not. Words like stragedy, stanima, etc. I didn’t notice until people pointed it out, but I kinda refuse to change it. It’s how I talk, people should deal with it, and I refuse to change it because I think it’s cute and I already spend a lot of energy talking as is without worrying about it. if anyone I knew IRL read this post they’d probably know my online handle from this lol, show yourselves cowards
