 Why is WoW Classic so good? Like why? What was that formula? Besides 4 hour long treks across content to get one quest turned in. I need it in my food. I just. mm. wanna smother it. all over my rice. If it's not clear by now, I've been playing Classic lol. Shit you not, yesterday I just needed to find this one place that I refused to look up. Took me 2 hours of just running around. To turn in one quest. It was fine. But the helplessness felt good. And then when you find it finally and turn it in... amazing. Mmpf. Some dudes love getting their asses kicked by women, I love being made to feel really stupid and helpless by video games. Make me work for it and I'll worship every moment. The thing that did make me stop tho was this rogue that ambushed me while I was killing mobs. And then he camped me when I rezzed. I hope he didn't camp me for too long because I logged out after the second ambush.

We were all talking about raiding in Classic and how it can be awesome or just bad- depending on the raid lead. To summarize; 

"i rather have fun for 3 hours than be a try-hard for 30 minutes"

 

y'know? like? yyyyyuknow?

 anyyyywaayyys I DID A HIKE. 

but ho snap. My rosacea

No worries! I whipped out my trusty anti-photon slime and slathered it all over any exposed real estate.

 

  

I've read that past like, spf 50 or something like that, it's useless. But I mean, if people can take anything they want to out of context, then i can believe that spf 100 is 5 billion % more effective ^_^

 

This was Lifa's idea. I was mistaken, for Brother Lifa was staying a little longer. So what better way to spend a final weekend with Brother Lifa than to have Lifa lead us on another hike!

 

I had to brace myself for this. The last time Lifa led us on a hike was in Hawai'i over 2 years ago looool.
He wanted to check out a hike there, wouldn't be very long.
Next thing we know, it's 5 hours later, and our legs were eaten in half. There was no trail. Just... up a mountain. Through all kinds of fauna and rocks lmao. WAS GREAT

The view made it worth it

 

So I KNEW. I had to prepare. Because I knew. This time.

Gross lol

Nothing can hurt me now.
spf 100, 6dmg hat, and oversized company mask
EVERYTHING IS FINE
Sorry for shite photo, I'm assuming sunscreen got on the lens lols

So. I ran out of battery.
Like, we were like 45 minutes in, just, uphill, forever seemingly, and my battery died.
Note: I'm 5'2. and while I very much like and can endure much cardio, going uphill forever sucks ass. I don't remember it being this awful going up that mountain in Hawai'i looool. But, it's Lifa. He thought it was gonna be a 20 minute hike. Precious boy.

There were cyclists going on the no bicycle trails- that was insulting to me, as an evolved species from fucking fish. Like, I know they could see it-. Ugh.

We mused that art teams probably came here.

Afterwards, we had to go home and prepare for the oncoming bbq. Because... it's the weekend. But first, a well earned reward from a boba spot

Ah,

The plant children have enraptured Chicken's heart, utterly. He's become so focused on creating the perfect indoor environment [with tech] for them to thrive in. Idk if it's his lust for new devices to wire and organize, or if he's genuinely become a full blown plant dad and is simply that devoted. Or both. But his fascination in creating this... artificial life generating space for living organisms is.. endearing. Like a green house without the sun. Just cables and leds. Wut a nErD

This is cool because it solves my rosacea troubles. There's no need for me to go outside ever again, and that makes me happy. On the flip side, I know they like the sun... some partially, and I wonder if it'll make them just as happy. Chicken's been doing a lot of research. He loves his research. He won't settle for sub-par, so on that end I don't worry. I just... idk. I don't want them to miss the sun. 

but it's fine, lots of horror games have indoor green houses and labs so whatever

 

He bought a shelf just for them

They have their own little spot now. We've been dabbling with new stuff and had to repot a few recently- a good thing! Thankfully, he's just as intrigued in growing the plants from seeds as opposed to just buying saplings :D

BBQ TIEM

Ugh, lol. We were talking about how Disney took out a bunch of scenes with sexist quotes that villains would say. Like Gaston questioning women and reading, and Jafar calling Jasmine speechless lol. And just in general how shitty they were- but that was the whole point, right. That was why they were villains! They're assholes. But Disney censored the villains. To be.. not.. as asshole-ish. Wat. lol. ?!?!

Homdre loves how ridiculous Jafar is and said it was time for a new drawing on the whiteboard. I couldn't resist

jesus LOL

I mean who's worse, Jafar or Kyubey tho? Just saying

Lifa made his delicious Cheesesteaks again
We also had our friend Smur bring over spicy korean style chicken

Gotta have that huacatay sauce tho! mmpf

Homdre's bacon wrapped shrimp

I present to you; the Panty ripper.
It was the most delicious drink EVER.

A teeny part of me felt a tang of butthurt because of the name and context, but YKNOW WHAT. FUCK THAT; it'll always suck, but I don't wanna stay butthurt, especially after going to the cops about it. So I had one. And it was amazing. And then I had 3 more after lol
If my mom can handle the things life has thrown at her, so can I. She's my hero. mm.

Panty ripper recipe:

• 2oz pineapple juice
• 1.5oz banana rum
• Splash of grenadine

the original recipe calls for coconut rum, but we had banana rum, and it was still amazing. So. There you have it.

Brother Lifa brought the hookah with more sweet minty shisha for us noobs.
T'was a good eve.

Smur brought his corgi, Rennie. She missed her uncles muy much.

Chicken the following day received another package- for the plants.

Now we may water them without worry! Because they have their little waterproof mat lol :B

Oof this past week we've made entirely way too much food. Chicken  used teh slow cooker to make parmasean chicken and potatoes, and then baked honey sriracha salmon, and Homdre made us yummy spaghetti with fresh basil we've been growing, and I made us Seco de res. And we have leftovers from the bbq still. And and and omg. There's so much food.

And then I impulse bought the last expansion pack to Villanous for this weekend.

Homdre's gonna be Jafar.

OMG. So, Chicken had to drop stuff off at the recycling center (I didn't know these places were a thing) because he had oil from the cars and my old computer parts. It was completely drive-thru. You just tell them what they can take from the trunk and they toss it into these giant bins.

I had like, baby traumatic flashbacks to The Brave Little Toaster when they were trapped in that man's shop where he like, Frankensteined a bunch of parts and disassembled devices to sell the parts and stuff omg. The workers just launched the devices in the air and they just... crashed into the pile of dead parts and appliances and.. omg.

God, this scene never left me. I love this movie so much- a LOT of stuff in it scarred me lolol

Oi, it's like a graveyard. I could've cried.
Oh no, it's like that junkyard... where the cars go to die..



Oh god, the flesh faire in A.I.

OH GOD.


UGH

hnnnng.

This is how my brain works. Jumps from one association to the other. Can be fun sometimes. Othertimes, it leaves peeps speechless lol.

So Chicken wanted to be fancy and have some cocktails.

So he had some delivered to us

These are special for a few reasons. One of which being that they have these two chambers that can be unlocked by twisting and allowing for the drink to mix. The ingredients stay fresh and unmixed until you wanna drink it. The second reason... I'll leave for next week. But it's special ^_^

We shared the rum punch this evening. Super yummy!
Aaaaaaannnd even tho they're supposed to card you at the door, the delivery person just dropped it off and left. lol. ?
 

 

We were having another discussion that got me thinking a lot. And like, it ruffled my feathers.
 

"it's okay that she's completely naked

-because she's ugly"

 

In the context of entertainment in media- movies, video games, tv shows.... this statement rings truer than not. And the more I think about it, the more irritating it becomes to me.
A female character will be completely censored or clothes'd up in the current climate so to not oversexualize her, but if she's not entirely human.... it's fine. Because she's ugly.

Tifa was an example. They gave her thigh highs, which are arguably hotter, imho. But they covered her up more. Imagine if they gave her pants. There'd be a revolt. Female video game characters have especially been targeted with this. Revisions for less sexualized visionary expression. As long as she's an attractive character- she can't be too revealing or sexy. Just when she's a monster.

Those are some. Tigole Biddies. earlier God of War, perfect example. Also Dark Souls, and though I haven't played it, Bloodborne as well.

That's fucking insulting LOL. Her titties can be out because she's ugly. What's up with that?!!?

In IT chapter 2:

That's so messed up.
And I hate that it didn't even occur to me until they brought it up. Chicken pointed out that some female bosses have two forms because it'd be too vile to kick her ass, so she transforms into something wretched and inhuman, and THEN you can fight her.

I kind of hate that. That's like... almost implying that we, y'know in our human forms, are too frail to be faced in combat within a fantasy setting. And that our sexuality has to be censored unless we're fat and/or grotesque. That's sooooooooo lame. I hate that so much. Sexy women can be villains too. Sexy NAKED, TITTIES OUT, LEGS OUT, THIGHS OUT, WOMEN CAN FIGHT AND BE BOSSES TO DEFEAT.
AND PLAY AS- but that's another argument for another post.

Yeah. And what's ironic is that dudes brought this distinction up to me. Not even trying to be funny but in the context of like.. ranting and going on a tangent. How human females are so heavily covered up and censored in fear of backlash for being too sexy, but once we're portrayed as inhuman or monsters, IT'S ALL GOOD, CUZ SHE'S UGLY.

The whole argument of oversexualization in media is so tired- let female characters be hot and crazy shaped. If we're comparing ourselves to fictional pixelated characters, there's some deeper stuff going on there that has nothing to do with the developers. Some nasty projection going on. There's nothing wrong with sexy portrayals of women kicking peoples' asses in video games. And I really wish the censorship would just... fucking stop. Just stop it. It's gross pandering and obvious. The majority tolerate it because the angry minority are the loudest.

/eyeroll

HOKAY HAPPY FRIDAY

WEAR A MASK MKAY

Bubbles

   Hnnnnngggggg we're so delicious. DELICIOUS. To these demon spitty blood sucking assholes that wouldn't even be a thing if we just had some BATS around here to negate our neighbors POND. It's fine.

Summer is a nightmare; Reason #32

They especially like Chicken. 

We have citronella candles, those frumpy bracelets that look like phone cords, and burners. Those assholes still feast on our blood. And it's not even all of them. It's just the females. I hate them. They're worse than the caterpillars that were eating my petunias.

hm. 

ok lool no. but summer's end has never felt so far. I just want to freeze and climb under the covers and gurgle. 

 And with summer ending, autumn comes with abundance of sweater weather, pumpkin everything at Trader Joe's, and the rest of the country accepting grim decor as the norm. The places I've gone to for decor shopping haven't yet put out their seasonal wares. Grr.. It's fine. We already have decor up, but I just want more of it? aaaaaannnnnd Animal Crossing! I can't wait to see what they'll bring to Animal Crossing. It's been 2 months since I've bothered playing. And this is why;

 I had to replace this fat pos battery that wouldn't hold a charge, or allow my shell to shut properly. During the move, I misplaced the replacement battery, so I held it off until recently. All fixed! If your battery's fat, don't use it and replace it asap. No bueno, could go boom. You can tell by looking at the seams of the shell on the edges, and can absolutely feel it. It's not hard, just an absolute pain in the ass because the adhesive doesn't give very easily. You need a flat, sturdy, long but flexible tool to pry under the battery and slowly pry it up. Ugh. Took forever, but CROSSING IS A GO.

oMg, Chicken and I put together a bunch of random shit to eat with the huacatay sauce I prepared and it was the most amazing thing ever.

hnnnnnnnnnnggggg. It's nothing crazy. I had him prep my seasoned rice, he grilled the flank steak and a jalapeño, and I made my mom's seasoned green beans with eggs. Soft boiled some eggs and yummy huacatay alllllll ovvveerrrrrr. Mmmmpf. So good.

Brother Lifa joined us for one last hurrah before he had to go do stuff.

Lifa prepared his perfect, sexy hand crafted ice that becomes virtually invisible in any drink like this red Gaston disney drink. It's magical. Note the unicorn.

I had shown him a Disney cocktails list with all the ingredients and how they'd look. So he went out and got a bunch of stuff to make some of them. Even ginger liquor. For a drink inspired by that bad dude in Mulan (animated)
Ya... no clue that existed.

 Brother Lifa blessed us with the most delicious galbi. Mmpf. While Chicken grilled some hot dogs to perfection, with of course our spicy friends jalapeño and habanero :D

The peppers were so good and crunchy that I'm inclined to start growing them. The smoky flavor just... mmmpff. Hurtssssooogood

Spicy, delicious friends

 Poor Brother Lifa. He dipped a chip and got a big scoop of the queso sauce we had out, but he didn't know it was ghost pepper. It's cool, he assimilated later into the night. Dis a spicy haus.

 The disrespek. He whips this out at 6pm for 20 minutes every day because he has to raid lmao

So, IS THAT A BO- no it's a hookah. For watermelon mint shisha! Because we're noobs lol

posterboy for mississippi mud

 Lifa made cheesesteaks. The best cheesestakes ever, probably. Made even better with huacatay hnnnnggg

 Pretty soon, Chicken started flexing his leet bubble skillz

 No one could keep up. He was too pro

 rekt

 He was so pro, he just started blowing bubbles out of a can. Who does that?

 And then just, y'know, leaving smoke bubbles on the table. It's whatevs.

fam - cynth + clown eyebrows = this picture

 Ah yes, this drink. The WARLORD. It's like, goofy, but cool lol

Balance the sake on chopsticks; we used skewers because our chopsticks were too cute for this, yes all of them, all of them were too cute for this,

we all count down, pound the table, and shotgun the drink.

BRUH BY THIS POINT I WAS SO FUUUUULLLLLLL from all of the food. Homdre was like LETS MAKE S'MEESES and I dipped. Went upstairs and straight to bed.

Sigh.  If it's not caterpillars, it's some irresponsible, over-zealous couple lighting the state on fire and getting ash all over my petunias.

They've been wilting every since because not only is it hot, but they love the sun and the sun is nowhere to be found :) Which normally isn't something I'd care about, but my children. Who already exist. Need nourishment.

So Chicken observed my saltyness, and took it upon himself to get a grow light for the babies.

 First, it was just the herbs that dried up, except for the basil :))))

 Then it was all of them lol.

He noticed they were moving, so he set up a camera to document their growth xD

Baby Sarlacc is um, still in intensive care, but his roots are growing back nice and strong. Except, he's still emaciated. So I'm trying something that other haworthia peeps did with theirs; water therapy. I think he's super thirsty. I can't get him to drink when I water him. Or maybe it's not enough? But I'm afraid of root rot again, so ... idk. We'll see if this works.

 He's being held over a small bowl of filtered water in a way so that only his roots are kind of submerged. This just got started, so in a few days I'll see if I drowned him :D

 Chicken has gone full on plant dad.

He's looking into getting a shelf with planters, and already got another grow light. He's putting me to shame lolol. But it's cute, he comes down every few hours to just observe them ^_^ hee

This book that Chicken got me is... man. It makes me mad lol. I'm learning that there was much more going on. The author asks the same questions I do; why the hell isn't this talked about more? why isn't it taught in schools? It's asinine. Took him 9 years to write this book because of all of the data he had to acquire, which wasn't easy to begin with because assholes (both Japanese and American) destroyed and hid so much of the evidence. It wasn't until later that former workers came forward and confessed. -that part I knew, but his retelling of everything he did and his contacts. Damn. Why's Japan still a little bitch about their past? Utterly gross.

How did I even learn about this? 

Actually, no one ever told me about it. Funny enough, a billion years ago, someone on facebook had posted a really graphic youtube video. It was a clip out of one of those old really gross, shcok-factor exploitation movies from back in the day. But the thumbnail was striking enough that I clicked on it. I think the person was trying to just be shocking to people. He didn't really preface it with anything.

Anywho, in the clip, a woman was in shackles outside during the winter, with two soldiers at her side. They had her extend her arms out, then proceeded to do horrible things to her.

The latter half of the clip was similar, but inside what seemed to be some kind of medical room, with an audience of several doctors looking onto a "patient" who was told to extend their arms- subjected to an awful "experiment"

I was so grossed out and was like wtf is this shit? Why am I watching this!? It was infuriating. But I couldn't look away because the mood of it, while extremely horrible, felt... believable. Serious. Documentary-like, even. I looked at the information for the clip- it was taken from a film called Men Behind the Sun. I was like WTF is this shit real?? 

And yeah. My curiosity led me to researching the events of that facility. That was one of several, but was the headquarters. So much evil. Fucking.. just... one of the worst atrocities known. Being kept on the down low. Ugh.

It's still a better read than Lolita, which I can't finish btw.

ANYWHO. ON THAT NOTE, HAPPY FRIDAY.

Blow the best bubble you can, in your heart. You can do it. I believe in you.

Snot bubbles count.

How do those even work

that's so gross lol who does that

I wanna try it

okay bye !

WEAR A MASK ok bye
