And patterns! You can find seasonal, trademarked characters, whatever you’re looking for! All just comes down to brands. It’s wild how many variations you can find.

Why I wear scrub pants 90% of the time. Deep pockets, easy to clean, still look pretty good, cheap as fuck at most overstock stores.

Make it 5, and only one or two are screaming. The rest are nipping at my fingers or nose, throwing paws in my mouth or on my eyes, or circling around my legs. All because we want breakfast, and breakfast time is “whenever moms alarm goes off, or we wake her up”.

I feel you there. We’re currently in a slow point, even our competitors are feeling it, but once we’re within the 5 day Christmas window? Say goodbye to lunches or being off on time. The bakery is about to be in riot mode, potentially quite literally.

Arr.

I just enjoy feeling like a pirate at any opportunity.

If you know a better place to call up a Golgothan, I’d love to hear it.

And don’t say “Oh, but the sewage treatment plant is right there”, those fuckers wised up fast and now everyone carries high potency air freshener. Damn shit-monsters have one weakness, and it’s something we mass produce. Don’t go down the Fecalmancy route, it’s shitty.

Nintendo flips A and B. It is one of the most minor, yet frustrating, swaps. So many times intending to hit “confirm” only to forget which layout I’m on and cancel/repeat dialogue.

We often present cats as solitary creatures, but the reality is that they are very social, just not exactly in a way like humans or canines. That’s part of why cat colonies can thrive so well, they will help take care of each other.

You very much can have a happy lone cat, but they are normally getting that social stimulation from either the owner, or another pet, as needed.

In fact, the bathroom example this comic uses is an excellent example of a cats socialization! A lot of animals, humans included, are vulnerable when shitting. You’re in a compromised position, can’t move as quickly, it’s a dangerous situation in nature. So, they want to come watch over you.

If you have the litterbox somewhere like your bathroom, they may even use it while facing the opposite direction you are. To them, you’re watching each other’s backs, and can warn each other if danger comes.

That makes me want it more.

And how they handled that is my issue. Too many Gen 2 Pokemon were locked behind reaching Kanto. Johto should have been heavier on giving us the new faces, Kanto the old.

I love that it was included, but it felt like they just kinda went “Hey, we can do that!” and that was the end of really thinking about it. There’s a lot of balancing that could have been done.

Thankfully we have HG/SS and Crystal Legacy, which both did better jobs.

Especially with that awful level curve.

Gen 2 was a beautiful mess.

“Counterspell this, bitch!”

“You remind me of Buddy. He gets that same look in his eye, right when he finds the right spot to take a dump. You’re gonna go far, kid, we’re taking you to the park after this!”

He’s a part of Section 8, a team that’s made up of the seemingly useless heroes.

One of the other members with some recognition is DogWelder. He welds dogs. To people’s faces.

Not even metal ones. Just straight up dogs.

An unfrosted Double Dutch, at that.

That is an offense in itself. You’re making it that large, toss on the fudge or Dutch chocolate icing with it.

I’ve reached the point that I adopt the same attitude back. Like, genuinely told myself “No, fuck these thoughts, we ain’t having this shit tonight”, into just kinda almost meditating myself to sleep.

Probably not a healthy coping mechanism, but it works?

I got caught in-between. While I am now aligned with the opposite gender, I equally have days where I identify as completely without gender.

It might have also come with a change of species? Or they’re just narcissistic, because I’m Genderfae. I will admit, on the genderless blob androgynous days, I do have insatiable cravings for honeyed milk and bread, and begin planning on how to swap any children I see with one of our own…

I don’t think I can go more insane without jumping into super-sanity, so I’m down.

What do I get for letting you in? Word it in a clear, even trade.

I ain’t owing a Fae shit, they already took my gender for a slice of delicious cake.

Sometimes art, no matter what it is, takes a frame of mind or a certain delivery to really hit us. Even a small change, like mood, can cause a different little take.

It can be worth giving things that didn’t click with a younger you a second try, you might find you like it, you might find you still don’t, but maybe you’ll understand why better than before.
