In case you’re sick of those warm cuddly pets, here’s Nemo

I have had a full fantastic day of solid RP, like just wall to wall super enjoyable character development and relationship building and it’s not even over yet.

I honestly thought that kind of gaming experience was gone for me and I’m so glad it’s not.

Hello friends.

My mom is in the final stages of dementia, which means she spent the last week and a half in the hospital with a respiratory infection and I spent a lot of time with her because she can’t be left alone, along with working full time and being a mom and feeling like I’m failing everyone across the board. She has recovered enough to come home today but it’s very very likely it’ll happen again soon (it’s already happened once before this).

On top of this I am still trying to shake getting COVID last month. On top on TOP of this, I haven’t been able to get my antidepressants refilled until Wednesday. I really loathe saying I’m not okay but I’m not okay right now. I have a very strong support system, but the bench is shallow and only a little less worn out than I am.

I think I can keep from going apeshit on anyone for the next 48 hours but just in case the brain weasels win, go easy on me, ‘k?

Me, an introvert, trying to play an extrovert.

I think this is after I told him he wasn’t allowed to eat the cat.

When a game I want to love just makes me feel tired and empty inside.

I don’t feel like playing any more and I can’t really identify why. Just waiting to see if it passes.

When you’re not at all sure that something you worked really hard on is going to land well…and it lands really fucking well.

My mom’s dementia has gotten severe enough that she was put into hospice care last week. I’m doing okay, I don’t really want to talk about it but if you notice I’m scare, well, that’s why.

I think it’s hilarious that EVERYONE THERE IS NOW IN A CLIQUE and no one has noticed.

@Tez

@Tez She’d ghost right after the intro tho

@Roz Was that the guy who definitely didn’t romance a bear?

@Warma-Sheen Everyone has different threshholds.

In my own experience, it’s not possible for one part of a game to be fine and the other not fine with no bleedover. But that’s just me.

ETA: ESPECIALLY if that problem is in any position of power.

@Cornpopped I totally can.

@Tez Grazer looks amazing

I live in central NC and have been largely unaffected by Hurricane Helene, but the western side of my state is absolutely devastated. It’s a beautiful place, one of my favorite places, and it hurts my heart to see the damage. Currently I’m donating 70% of sales in my shop to rescue efforts, so if you’re feeling a plushie purchase and want to help Western NC in the process, head on over to https://www.etsy.com/shop/GoblinQueenStitchery. I’ll be adding items over the next few days, and am open to a limited number of custom orders.

If you want to donate directly, please check out the list of organizations here: https://www.bpr.org/bpr-news/2024-09-28/list-ways-to-donate-and-help-flood-victims-in-western-north-carolina-after-hurricane-helene

@Evilgrayson I learned very early on that it’s the admins who can get shit done. ALWAYS be nice to the admins. I don’t know why some folks can’t seem to figure this out.

@Taika That’s a hell of a combo.

@Third-Eye Aww I love seeing them at their new homes!
