I think at this point we are in: just don’t work in games phase

💤 Places I've dreamt of this week...

There was this strange lobby. Decently ventilated, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was off.

I mean if you want to go really wild you can watch a show called khemjira the series which is a Thai horror BL

I have many thoughts about this, one is I can't help but think this is all just shining a light on how games are still being held to wildly different standards than other media like film. I've played very few games like HORSES but watched so many films like it (as a connoisseur of arthouse horror).

[🗼 - THE TOWER ]

Every corner turned, every photograph examined, I felt this place shift, and the floor rumbling beneath me.

10/10 would get lost here again. So can you: miro.com/app/board/uX...

Yea but also really hard to work with

I’m on my crafting era, mostly cause of sabbatical

I'm being so real right now, learn how to engage in media as art and not a reflection of your own real life morals. consume things that make you uncomfortable and understand why it makes you uncomfortable. Don't just base yours and others morals standings on the media you consume.

I made a sweater, I will like to note that you should not try intersia for the first time with mohair

Anyway I finished making a sweater

I think I might be crafting too much, I might need a break from making stuff to actually do my actual work

I can't even process Jimmy Kimmel being too edgy for the establishment.

Motherfucker doesn't have enough edge to open a pouch of Capri Sun

Fully live action, with a budget

i did not expect to have an mpreg storyline in a 2025 Chinese BL but here we are

update: this show is a delight, everyone is incredibly stupid and it goes full cannon omegaverse

This show is someone with a lot of money passion project and I deeply respect them for that

Showing up here to announce to the world that I started watching the Chinese omegaverse BL

A little about Glitter & Grits now that it is out I got into kpop in the middle of 2023 in the strangest way possible, while I was aware of kpop in some capacity (I had heard about BTS and Blackpink like most folks at that point in time), but I never...
