Want to sound off random thoughts or vent? I do so I'm creating this thread.

But like why are they called blue whales? They aren't even blue.

They're blue-ish

I think they're bluer than some definitely non-blue whales.

I don't know what it is with this town but I sure do seem to hear a lot about people driving through buildings, both accidentally and intentionally, for whatever reason. Happened again a few hours ago. :-/

Maybe your town is putting buildings in the wrong places?

This happens in my town too, but it's mainly buildings along really busy roads. We lived on one such road when I was a kid and a car drove through our fence and crashed into the garage. Scared the hell out of my parents, but I slept through the whole event.

I don't mean to laugh but lmao whaaaaat?! How is this even a thing? Good luck to your town. I do hope no one was hurt.

Once in my town, a woman drove through the DMV wall during her driving exam. Guess she didn't pass.

CW: Sexual content
So I've been working on really actually loving myself and one exercise suggested to explore my own sexual side was to take selfies as if I'm trying to turn someone on. It made me realize I'd never actually considered what exactly "sexy" means when it comes to the face. Easy to wear lacy bras and show off my cleavage but I've never had anyone I wanted to give the "come hither/my eyes are telling you I want to fuck" look. I was unable to capture a worthy shot (though I did save a couple pictures I liked) but it was so much fun to look at myself using Snapchat filters (makes it so easy to look like I have makeup on!) and noticing what makes me feel sexy. I also took time to think about things that turned me on and used them as inspiration to try to convey sexy eye contact. What worked most times was thinking of celebrity/fandom crushes. I won't go into gritty details as to why it works for me, TL; DR version is I feel safe focusing on just my desires and that includes people in my fantasies who aren't anywhere near my IRL bubble. Real people intimacy is a little too much for my anxiety right now.
Now I'm wondering if other people went through a similar predicament? Except I'm sure theirs isn't as lame as mine. LOL But that's fine. Everyone has their own journey.

Also, all these years of watching America's Next Top Model has helped me tremendously!

Love yourselves everybody! You are worthy of love and in the wise words of Rupaul, "If you don't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?"

That's wonderful, anon! I'm glad you've found something that works for you.

I went through something sorta similar, but it was more about feeling pretty than sexy and it's a lot more boring. I wore really boring clothes for years because I thought I couldn't wear prettier things. Then I realized I was getting older and I didn't want to go the rest of my life wearing ugly things, so I bought myself a bunch of pretty dresses and shoes. It's weird, but I sort of have to give myself permission to wear pretty things and those things made me feel pretty and that gave me the confidence to go out while dressed up.

Perfect quote!

You and the anon above me -- I relate pretty well. I recently started taking selfies in days I feel I look good, and in ways I think I look good (shout out to ANTM!!!) just because I want the proof that hey -- I did look good that one time. And much like nonnie above me, there is still this thing where I feel like I'm waiting on someone's permission to be ALL of myself -- however fabulous (or not) that is!

I often say to myself how much more attractive I'd be as a man and how much more freedom I'd give myself, and how much more confident I'd be if I was a man. And it's like...but you're not, nonnie. What's stopping you from being this person now? If that's who you'd be anyway, and this person is inside you anyhow? Why the fear to be *truly ALL* of yourself all the time? To look good (and not feel like there has to be a reason). It's okay to look like a stunner because you ARE. I don't know. I keep myself on a short leash and I want to be free. And it goes beyond looking nice or what have you. It's also allowing myself to have certain experiences, to go outside and join the parade instead of watching from the window. So. Perfect quote from Ru Paul.

And I will include a throwback to a Hilary Duff song "Why are you dressed in yellow/when you want to dress in gold?"

Corny, but a good question!

I can't afford to move out, but I still like looking at houses on Zillow. I always look at the most expensive houses because I could never afford those anyway and it's fun daydreaming about what I'd do with so many rooms.

Same here. I also love looking at houses with big yards and garden areas.

For you ;)

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/the-most-expensive-home-for-sale-in-every-state/ss-BB11K0ol

Same here. I search in cities/neighborhoods I know I can never afford to live in.

I wish it was more acceptable to just give cash for presents. One of my friends gave me twenty bucks and was really apologetic about it because they didn't know what to give me, but I'm saving up to buy an expensive doll and was thrilled with the money because now I'm twenty bucks closer to getting the doll.

Growing up in an Asian community, money as gift is common. I do think it strange that there's a stigma about money being a bad/tacky/lazy gift. Like, who doesn't like getting free money? Hope you save up quick!

I would like to add a very ungrateful-seeming addendum to this random thought:

I also wish people would stop worrying about being tacky and just send money instead of those stupid visa/mastercard gift cards. They are awful. First of all, they charge you tax, which, I mean, RUDE. Secondly, they don't work if you try to pay a larger sum than is currently on the card, which means that unless you use the whole card for one purchase, you have to find a sharpie that won't smudge and write down the remaining total on the card in order to be able to use the card in the future. If you forget to do so, you have to log into the card's website and enter the, like, twenty digit code in order to find out the balance of your card.

Basically, yes, it is lovely to be given money, and I always appreciate the giver for gifting me said money, but oh my god, visa/mastercard gift cards have got to be the most annoying form of currency in the world.

I'm black and I absolutely hate "racebend" art. They're not even interesting for the most part, they're just "what if [x] character had incredibly stereotyped black features (feat. Let's Get This Nose as Flat and Fat as Possible!)", but like... people, even other black people, make me feel like I should be happy about them? Or worse, grateful? It grinds on me to no end. :/

I am not black so I can't say, but yeah, I've always wondered that. Like, I feel that if I was black I'd find a little offensive, probably, the way people often do these "racebending" fanworks. Nice to have an input.

I'm sorry, nonnie. You deserve to have your voice heard too. I don't think it's cool people seem to try to invalidate your opinions and feelings.

I used to play a game that was very simple and very lowkey where you were an adventurer and you went to dungeons and stuff and fought monsters of course, but it was like... web page based, not an actual game game. There was a 'tavern' where you could chat with other people and hang out. I can't remember the name of it for the life of me and I want to play it again very badly. My brother used to play it too but he can't remember the name of it either. I think it had Sword in the title but I could be wrong. This is so vague whoops. If anyone has suggestions for games LIKE this, I'd appreciate it too!

Do you know how long ago that was?

Also, when you say webpage-based, do you mean it was text-based or something? Or just that you would play within a website and move your sprite around with arrows or something?

I'm always preaching shit about (or at least largely believe that) everyone's views are important and should be heard.

But now some person with obvious issues (some of which they've spoken of in years past, so this is not just me being judgy) is spewing conspiracy theory level stuff just left and right in a forum I often visit. It's goddamn frustrating for two reasons:
1) They go from zero to WTF within the space of a couple of paragraphs. We could be talking about cats and then suddenly it's a rant about how people are infringing on cats' freedoms by keeping them inside by claiming it's safer for everyone, just like how the government is lying about this Covid stuff and limiting our freedoms with masks and curfews. (That's not the exact example, but it's not much of an exaggeration.) And
2) Attempts to debate them is virtually impossible, because anything that isn't a complete affirmation of their rant and perpetuation of their echo chamber results in them countering with some version of "SHEEPLE!" and five more paragraphs about the REAL truth.

I mean, I get the need to rant after the last four years, especially this last year... hell, this last week or so. And I'm not saying there isn't a grain of truth to be found (but that's the problem. Lies are often wrapped up in pieces of the truth because it helps the credibility), but I'm just fucking tired of everything. I don't even have the patience to deal with people like that anymore, and I don't want to deal with it in my fandom spaces, especially when it's completely unprompted. Part of me wishes the mods would ban the person already, but the other part feels bad and even stupidly thinks that the person can be calmed down if someone could find just the right words. I know that's bullshit though. It's just the guilt talking.

Well, haha. Speaking of rants, huh?
