Drowning in TatsuJun Hell (Affectionate)
Jun. 2nd, 2026 07:05 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
haunted_cherriesSo like some kinda moron I want to try and make a post every day for the month of June for funsies? Will I accomplish this task? Find out on the next episode of DREAMWIDTH Z~!!!!!!! ^ o^)/
An Attempt™ will be made, but no promises. xD
Anyways so as I mentioned a bit ago I am once again OWJFOEOSOSKOD for my Persona 2 OTP TatsuJun (go read about them. FOR ME? 🥰😘) and with that comes me trying to find merch of them (b/c it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t have physical manifestations of my blorbos in my vicinity so that I can have constant access to serotonin). It’s not like it’s necessarily been DIFFICULT but DAMN the search for merch and fanworks really do GOT HANDS. 😩
It makes me kinda sad for newer fans of the ship and the game as a whole b/c convos about it are years old, though it’s not like I feel comfy recommending stuff like Tumblr and Reddit these days where communities might be larger and more active simply due to how larger socmeds have become more like Gears of War battlegrounds than places where one could find fandom camaraderie.
There’s still SOME HOPE, at least? It’s not like I can’t enjoy and gush over what’s already there (might make stuff myself, who knows), just finding merch has been a CHALLENGE but CUTE STUFF ACQUIRED ANYWAYS ^ o^)/ I got a TatsuJun standee coming, as well as some keychains and plushies that I might toss at one of my ita bags! I’ll figure that out once they get here. xD
Side note: THE PERSONA 5X ANNI IS THIS MONTH!!!!! The devlog is coming out tomorrow morning, so it’ll give me something to yap to y’all about tomorrow.
Back to my weighted blanket I go! Drink your water, get your sunlight, and love yourself despite the horrors. ❤️

I shouldn't expect better but I'm still disapointed
Jun. 2nd, 2026 09:26 pmmalymin- "I wonder if anyone has anything interesting to analyze about the main characters of the Backrooms movie!"
- Main characters in terms of narrative depth and focus are a Black man (Clark) and a white woman (Mary), for the record.
- Tumblr search is full of AU reader x character fics and squeeing about Bobby, a white camera boy in a crop top whose only personality trait is "stoner" and has like maybe five minutes of screentime max. None of these long ass posts are under a readmore. By the way. The readmore feature that Tumblr has had for over a fucking decade and is easy to add to a post.
- Leaves Tumblr search.
I guess I'll! Fucking wait for Nightmare Masterclass on Youtube to say something, because god am I not going to find any meaningful commentary on the bad website. Why do I even keep going there. It's basically impossible to curate a good experience on there, no matter what people say. The main thing that makes me miserable about it is the edgelord stalinists, the scrupulosity-baiting, the love of suicide baiting, the desire to find a marginalized group you can argue is actually so privledged that it's rightous to harass them, the valorization of "being a hater"...
But also non-fandom media discussion gets mixed in with fandom behavior, and even when you want to engage in fandom behavior it's basically impossible to fully filter out people who only think about media with their vaginas and dicks. Exhausting as an asexual. Exhausting also when you see racialized and disabled people repeatedly chased out of fandoms for having any concerns about the way people think with their vaginas and dicks. Even when I'm talking about some kid's cartoon or shounen jump manga I wanna talk about characters and lore and themes and not, like, how wet it makes you to imagine the characters from Yugioh as big brown bestial men dominating fragile waify womanly east asian boys. (Hate hate hate hate hate...)
I like meta! I like lore! I like character analysis and theoryposts! I'm tired of tumblr users talking about being horny as inherently virtuous and sex aversion as inherently fascist! I'M A FUNDAMENTALLY SEXLESS BEING WHO WANTS TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHERS AND I'M TIRED!!!!!!!! I'M LONELY AND TIRED! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
I miss Gravity Falls and Steven Universe theorycraft. I miss Homestuck theorycraft. I miss Undertale theorycraft. I want to play with puzzles...
This that and taking Tuesday off...
Jun. 2nd, 2026 02:54 pmshadowkatTook the day off for an annual skin cancer checkup - only to realize that my organization provides up to four hours for cancer screening on the way home from the check up. It's too late to change it now, might as well just continue taking the day off. Scheduled a follow up for next June, but around 4:45 pm, so I don't have to take the vacation day. They took a biopsy of one of the moles on my back - which looked funky under the magnifying glass.

Afterwards, walked to Bryan Park and took the F from the front of Public Library, because Grand Central has become an insane maze with the pretty but horribly confusing signage. Breaking Bad and various co-workers weren't wrong - it has corridors that go nowhere. The signage is incredibly confusing. And I almost got lost hunting the exit. So on the way back, I chose to forgo it. (I tend to avoid Midtown Manhattan like the plaques nowadays.) On the way to Bryant Park - I took 41st Street - there was a series of gold plaques with quotes from poets and authors embedded in the sidewalk (NYC and LA are into embedding plaques with names or quotes on them in their sidewalks. NYC does historical references and quotes from authors, while LA does the Hollywood Walk of Fame - with various television and movie stars names embedded in stars on the sidewalk. Personally, I prefer NYC's take on this - but then I'm allergic to LA, I'm a New Yorker. New Yorkers are allergic to Los Angeles). It was hard to stop and take photos of them, because of all the young adults with their cell phones walking past.
But I managed to do it anyhow - so here's three of the plaques beneath the cut.
( plaques embedded on 41st Street between Madison and Fifth Avenue )
Bryant Park had free Yoga - and a Yoga Check in Point. I thought they were doing it on the lawn or in the park, but nooo - it was on the concrete stone platform in back of the NYPL, and in front of the restaurants, at the top of the steps leading to the park and green cordoned off lawn.
All these people were sitting or lying on thin yoga mats and blankets on the concrete platform. See? This is why I don't do yoga classes and do it at home, if at all, instead. I need more padding than that. Although lately best I can do is chair yoga. Maybe its just me? But doing yoga on concrete looks kind of painful? My knees hurt just thinking about it.
I was going to do a museum or the NYPL, but it was 9:47 am, I was hungry (ate at 6:30 am, doctor's appointment was at 8:30 am) and my knee had begun to bug me. So I went home.
Even if I didn't make it to a museum or the gluten free bakeries on the upper East Side as originally planned? I got stuff accomplished. Came home and did laundry. Listened to an audio book while doing it. And took a long walk around 4pm, after which I treated myself to a Coffee Ice Cream (Cold Brew) Milk Shake from Carnval Ice Cream Shop, which is a neighborhood and South Brooklyn staple.
Passed a lot of rose bushes on my walk. Been seeing a lot of roses this year. Roses do very well in New York, they love the climate. Flowers love the climate. If you like flowers or trees or greenery - New York is a great state to live in.

* I finished my comfort re-watch of Buffy - thinking I'd get a reboot (but no such luck, we shall speak of it no more) - and have moved on to a comfort re-watch of the early 1990s X-Men Animated Series (which is streaming on Disney +/Hulu. ( Read more... )
*Rivals - this is really funny in places. It does farce well. And sex comedy well. I prefer British satire and comedies to American satire and comedies. I don't really know why exactly? Maybe things are just funnier when delivered with a British accent? Or the Brits just do farce and satire really well? I'm on S2. Also the Taggie/Rupert romance is oddly enough working for me? It shouldn't - but the actors make it work? Also the actress playing Taggie comes across as mid-late 20s, not 21, and the actor player Rupert comes across as early 30s. He doesn't quite come across as old enough to be her father or as old as Aidan Turner and David Tennant. It also helps that he hasn't slept with Taggie yet, and is sleeping with Cameron - pretty much everywhere including the steps. (As an aside? I can't imagine having sex on steps as being all that comfortable? Painful, yes. Comfortable, no. ( Read more... )
* Midnight Mass - I keep trying to watch it, but I can't get into it. I keep getting bored. My difficulty with it - is I don't like or care about any of the characters, nor find any of them remotely interesting - which is kind of a requirement for anything I watch, read, or listen to?
It's definitely a requirement of the horror genre. If you don't care about any of the characters - then there's no emotional investment - and you won't care if they are in danger or killed off - which means the show isn't horrifying or scary.

June 2 - Character Resonance
Jun. 2nd, 2026 06:51 pmsenmutWhat character, in any kind of media, did you (if you ever did) have the kind of resonance with that is 'I see some of myself IN this character'? (Which is different from aspiring to BE like the character.)
For me? I think it hit me first and hardest with Nerilka. I know others vibe strong with Menolly, but in Nerilka I saw pieces of me. Abuse of neglect, wanting to find a place she could be herself and help others, too mature for her youth? She was very much a resonant character for me.

It's just ambient noise today.
Jun. 2nd, 2026 07:32 pmashelterofpages'm starting this post later than I meant to, but hey I started it and that's what matters!
Today I was supposed to go out with a friend who's in town, but we both slept poorly, so we're doing that on Thursday. I'm excited to see her since the last time I did, we were in Portland for a con in November. That was actually the first time we ever talked, but we got on pretty well.
Making friends is so weird sometimes.
Slept in later than I intended but I got up before 11, which I'm calling a victory. My goal is to always be up before 10 but my body will just refuse to do that sometimes. Like, I'll go to bed at 10:30pm and I won't get up for another fourteen hours. There is no rhyme or reason for these Sleep Incidents, but it is what it is. I'm working on trying to be more gentle with myself about them and have plans for days where I do that instead of just feeling low and upset by it.
I haven't managed to start doing the art thing, but I pulled out one of my notebooks that are good for fountain pens and started writing in it. I'm going to see if I can keep up doing some kind of writing in this one until I finish it, but we'll see. I have no special plans for the notebook, just going to let it be a catch-all with to do lists, goals, doodles, rambles, ect and see what happens. I'm taking it with me when I head out next Friday, so maybe it'll be a little bit of a travel journal too. Who knows.
I need to do some reading tonight before I go to bed. I do a brief newsletter on Tuesdays where I recommend two short stories I've read recently and I'm running low on options. I try and have a backlog of stories for weeks that I've not read as much and I'm down to less than five. Hopefully this week I'll run across some very good stuff.
Speaking of reading, so I'm officially helping out M with the anthology they're making. [RECORDED]. It's gonna be so much fun and I'm really looking forward to slushing for the first time. If you wan to submit some found footage horror, we're going to be open from the 15th through the end of June.

Birdfeeding
Jun. 2nd, 2026 06:17 pmysabetwordsmithToday is mostly sunny and warm.
I fed the birds. I've seen a mixed flock of sparrows and house finches.
I put out water for the birds.
EDIT 6/2/26 -- I did a bit of work around the patio.
EDIT 6/2/26 -- I did more work around the patio.
I've seen a grackle at the hopper feeder.

I watered plants in the house yard.
EDIT 6/2/26 -- I watered the new picnic table garden.
I walked around the yard a bit. The purple penstemon from last year is blooming in the wildflower garden with clusters of little white trumpets. :D
As it is getting dark, I am done for the night.

Critical Role
Jun. 2nd, 2026 06:40 pmsettiaiI really, really, really need to get caught up on Critical Role, but it's just so hard to find the time. 🙃
On Monday and Tuesday evenings, by the time I make it home from work, my brain is done for the day so watching something new-to-me is off the table. Then I have D&D on Wednesdays and Fridays, so watching anything longer than an hour or two isn't possible. Which means Thursday is my only real day to watch things after work, but it's also usually my day to run errands so... yeah.
Theoretically, I should have time on the weekends, but I've been using them to catch up on sleep lately.
Luckily, things seem to be calming down at work again as the big rush from May grads is dying down, so I'm hoping that I'll get to the point where I can start watching an episode or two throughout the day when I'm working from home and not on phone calls. I'm not holding my breath it will get to that point this week, but hey. Anything's possible.

New 60 Minutes Boss Only Lasts 15 Minutes
Jun. 2nd, 2026 08:09 pm![[syndicated profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/feed.png){kind=small}
today_in_tabs_feedNick Bilton apparently didn’t read my post last week, because he showed up for his new job at “60 Minutes” bright and early yesterday, ready to read some vague but think-y remarks Claude had prepared for him at a low fourth grade level to what he must have imagined would be a cowed, if not openly star-struck staff. What he got instead was Scott Pelley waiting for him behind the door with a baseball bat as Lesley Stahl smacked a fist into her palm and muttered “Yeah! Give him the business, Scotty! Fuck him up, Scotty!”
The meeting started at 10 am and the first tweet about it arrived from the Guardian’s Jeremy Barr at 10:32 am, because the whole meeting instantly leaked in 60fps Dolby Atmos 4k HDR to every working media reporter. Oliver Darcy dropped a special edition of Status recapping the kneecapping, as did Barr in the Guardian, Scott Nover and Liam Scott in the Washington Post, and Joe Flint and Isabella Simonetti in the Wall St. Journal.
The meeting only lasted fifteen minutes, according to Michael M. Grynbaum and Benjamin Mullin in the New York Times, which might sound short for an all-staff meeting with the new boss but I imagine felt very long to Bilton who spent it getting his rhetorical legs broke by “Slugger” Pelley. According to Status:
Later, after Bilton tried to defer the blame for firing correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega as well as executive editor Draggan Mihailovich and former executive producer Tanya Simon onto the absent Bari Weiss…
All Nick fundamentally insists upon is that his authority should be respected.
“You have no idea what my plans are,” said the King, “so I will present those plans to you. I will present them when the time is right."
Bari’s other weasel in the meeting, Charles Forelle, kept telling Pelley to stop being “rude,” in case you were worried that smarm is dead.
After fifteen minutes of absolute shellacking Bilton finally fled, limping out of the room covered in tears and snot and mumbling “enjoy the bagels.” A message arrived later via carrier pigeon from a secure undisclosed location which read:
As of today:
More on this story: constantly until Nick Bilton gets fired, I hope.

Poetry Fishbowl Open!
Jun. 2nd, 2026 02:16 pmysabetwordsmithStarting now, the Poetry Fishbowl is open! Today's theme is "Fun with Language." I will be checking this page periodically throughout the day. When people make suggestions, I'll pick some and weave them together into a poem ... and then another ... and so on. I'm hoping to get a lot of ideas and a lot of poems.
I'll be soliciting ideas for linguists, translators, interpreters, historians, diplomats, refugees, explorers, partners, teachers, clergy, leaders, superheroes, supervillains, alien or fantasy species, failure analysts, ethicists, activists, rebels, other people who get into interesting linguistic situations, translating, interpreting, reading, researching, revising theories, conversing, traveling, inventing languages, parenting, teaching, adventuring, leaving your comfort zone, discovering things, conducting experiments, observation changing experiments, troubleshooting, improvising, adapting, cleaning up messes, cooperating, bartering, taking over in an emergency, saving the day, discovering yourself, studying others, asking for help and getting it, testing boundaries, coming of age, learning what you can (and can't) do, sharing, preparing for the worst, expecting the unexpected, fixing what's broke, upsetting the status quo, changing the world, accomplishing the impossible, recovering from setbacks, returning home, libraries, laboratories, meeting rooms, ruins, liminal zones, trading posts, port cities, schools, churches, supervillain lairs, nonhuman accommodations and adaptations, farmer's markets, starships, alien planets, magical lands, foreign dimensions, other places where languages mix, alphabets, pictograms and other symbols, lost languages, ancient tomes, mysterious texts, misnomers and mistranslations, recordings, the record that breaks the record player, puzzling discoveries, sudden surprises, the buck stops here, trial and error, intercultural entanglements, enemies to friends/lovers, interdimensional travel, lab conditions are not field conditions, superpower manifestation, the end of where your framework actually applies, ethics, innovation, problems that can't be solved by hitting, teamwork, found family, complementary strengths and weaknesses, personal growth, and poetic forms in particular.
If you speak a language other than English and know untranslatable words from it, by all means share. Some other resources you might find helpful:
