Science is pretty neat

having some serious self-reflection conflicts after finishing round 1 of disco elysium; I'm a completionist but I would never want to disappoint mr best lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi

the garden goblin takes up substantial real estate in my brain

[emma @shimpkex]

playing games with spectator mode is mortifying because I freeze when perceived

[emma @shimpkex]

elden ring pvp? combat? nono, you misunderstand; I co-op to show my friends silly hats and make a rock tell them they're beautiful and then we all T pose

[emma @shimpkex]

can't tell if I'm addicted to elden ring or social time with the lads (the answer is probably both)

[emma @shimpkex]

telling a therapist what I feel? psh I'll just go write crappy little poems that no one will ever see

[emma @shimpkex]

my pockets are full of lizards in botw and full of moss in dark souls (and we don't speak of the thousands of cabbages I have in skyrim)

[emma @shimpkex]

'tisn't fall 'til I've found something new to obsess over 🍂🍁

[emma @shimpkex]

my friends like to remind me of the time I made box brownies and forgot the eggs but in my defense someone had moved the eggs out of sight from where I had put them ready on the counter sooo whose fault is that

[emma @shimpkex]

one trope I'm tired of is "SpEaK eNgLiSh" re:scientific terms but tbf if someone's referring to their shoulder blade as their scapula they're technically speaking Latin and as such should be shamed for being needlessly pretentious

[emma @shimpkex]

pleased to say I had the opportunity today to use "peristeronic" in a terrible, on-topic limerick

[emma @shimpkex]

D&D is also a suitable alternative

[emma @shimpkex]

who needs therapy when you have star trek

[emma @shimpkex]

playing wavelength virtually with my friends and drawing the "not enough" to "too much" scale and my clue being "how often we hang out" and everyone agreeing it's on the extreme end of "not enough" and I'm ಥ﹏ಥ

[emma @shimpkex]

nothing like completing a 5-minute task you've been putting off for months

[emma @shimpkex]

the perseids, my beloved

[emma @shimpkex]

though at this length I could probably pull off a Galadriel hairstyle

[emma @shimpkex]

constantly vascillating between "I need a haircut" and "I want to be Éowyn for Halloween"
