plot with me for June?
plot with me for June?
Mouth Powers
also thread commentary bc I feel like it
Mouth Powers
Gonou: Jedao doesn't need a KILLER for a friend
Mouth Powers
Jedao: I feel like I've somehow failed to communicate that I met my only pre-barge friend when they were stranded on my ship after a failed attempt to assassinate me specifically
Mouth Powers
Jedao is trucking along, still a good lad, trying to learn more about earth to understand Flint better
Mouth Powers
feeling a little shy lately but he's still trying
Mouth Powers
will I ever finish this Tik-Tok app? who knows
Mrs Sheepie
luckily he has an """expert""" on earth media on his side 8D
Kira🌵
but Jedao is a good person and therefore deserves better than Gonou, also Gonou is a monster and therefore doesn't deserve friends, QED

(I have no particular suggestions other than Moar Threads for June, although I do love that "someone manages to inflict horrible injury on Jedao, Gonou carefully gives the 'corpse' his limiter earcuffs and inflicts some horrible injury on them with his claws and teeth before Jedao stumbles back to his feet and goes, huh, what the fuck" scenario)
Mouth Powers
ooooh dang
Mouth Powers
a lot of conflicting feelings there
Mouth Powers
god though now I desperately want, someday
Mouth Powers
for Jedao to have the full info about the ear cuffs and
Mouth Powers
Gonou can feed him but only if he also lends him the cuffs
Kira🌵
oh man, if the limiters actually worked on Jedao as well
Kira🌵
speaking of conflicting feelings!!
Mouth Powers
Mouth Powers
I think Jedao would mostly just be grumpy about vengeance shredding as long as gonou didn't lie to him about it when he started to figure it out
Mouth Powers
although SOMEDAY I do want gonou to see jedao just loose his shit and go terminator on someone/something
Kira🌵
god, having to face letting jedao see his youkai form would be very hard for him -- to him, that's like. the physical embodiment of all the reasons he's monstrous/terrible/good for nothing but violence/etc
Kira🌵
(though also he would not try to lie in the least about vengeance shredding. he'd just be the "i thought you were never coming home ever so i panicked" dog about it)
Mouth Powers
why is that cute
Kira🌵
sorry about the viscera but that guy blew your head off, so

I want things and stuff... more video games? More tofu? (Me actually tagging J back when I hopefully stop sucking tomorrow....)
Mouth Powers
oh my god only 19 plot points left to go in this app
Mouth Powers
KILL ME
Mouth Powers
SLAMS DOWN a fuckin 7K app like
Mouth Powers
gandalf with an ancient tome or something

TRULY please feel free to skip the history section as though it were a wiki, I ONLY bothered to write all this shit because I feel like it is CRUCIAL FILE INFORMATION for the unluckiest warden
Mouth Powers
and I damn well wasn't going to try to write it twice
Mouth Powers
but the unabridged monster is not really app necessary
Jay
LOL
فك يو
NOTED but also you've got me curious
Mouth Powers
read until your brain starts leaking with "well this is LESS satirical post-trump" and then skim lmao
Kira🌵
(the book itself is quite inexpensive on Amazon, it turns out!!)
Jay
ooooh, maybe I'll pick it up when June's check comes in... though I'm supposed to be saving most of my pocket money towards helping the kids' move in January, b/c inflation (bs, it's not inflation, it's rampant price gouging) is killing their finances and they're really worried about affording to move
Kira🌵
(also very interesting; the general vibe I'm getting is, "Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut did a shit ton of acid and co-wrote a novel about robots")
Jay
LOL, that sure sounds like A Thing
فك يو
shockingly it is not available at my public library or in the interlibrary loan system, which means literally no library in the state carries a copy
Kira🌵
same! Which is why I had to buy it
Kira🌵
and I have library accounts in two different states, so Ohio and Arizona both could not provide

daaaaaaamn. this is perhaps the third book in however many years i've encountered this issue with

isabelle coming in with the obscurest of the obscure
Mouth Powers
I DID pick this up at a second hand bookshop like 12 years ago
Mouth Powers
BUT IT'S A GOLLANZ SCIFI CLASSIC
Mouth Powers
it's not THAT obscure
Mouth Powers
I can't stress enough that the book is both, like...absurdly kitchen sink cyberpunk, but also bleakly cynical
Mouth Powers
there's a vicious mean-spiritedness to the whole world that helps make Tik-Tok's gleeful sadism more palatable
Mouth Powers
but it is truly the exact opposite vibe of something kind like Goblin Emperor
Mouth Powers
but yeah it's Blade Runner from the POV of a class traitor
Mouth Powers
Tik-Tok is an incredible byronic/nietschean magnificent bastard villain protagonist
Mouth Powers
and 2080s fashion is exactly as wild and bizarre as it should be
Mouth Powers
I feel like once this app is in
Mouth Powers
I will genuinely have both the Best Boy and the Worst Boy on the ship
Mouth Powers
Jedao: 
Tik-Tok:

what if, instead of eating, cleaning, tagging or doing ANY of the other shit I need to do
Mouth Powers
I spend 3 hours dicking around with HTML to VERY little end

Mouth Powers
couldn't manage to cram css for a button triggered overlay into the existing div table for the cr chart template
Mouth Powers
but I DID get the grades to render in FUCKING CURSIVE
Mouth Powers
possibly it is time for me to actually learn how to code divs and spans
