like i’m calling myself out here but i just uttered the words “you did the stretch and now the rare and powerful double pets” (two hands at once!!) to my cat without a trace of irony
like i do not believe my cat understands a word of what i am saying but he absolutely knows my voice and i think also my tone? but also all day i’m just randomly looking over at him like “good boy!” or “are you fluffy?” or singing little songs about his current fluff levels. to an animal. a wonderful animal but a creature who absolutely does not speak english and probably only vaguely is like “this creature is communicating with me” when the strange noises come from the person’s mouth
like i just think about this sometimes
i never wanted to baby talk this cat, i dislike the whole “i am a cat mom and this is my baby” thing, he is a cat, i am a person, and yet i just spend all day talking at him. while typing this he rolled over to show off his tummy and i had to restrain myself from saying “you got a tummy?” aloud. and then i did it anyway
Being audhd is so wild cause I’m like “yeah, i’ll move to another country, change my name, convert to another religion, and leave all this behind” and then have a meltdown over a small change in my routine
How come the “solution” to making large-breasted characters more “realistic” is always to shrink the breasts and never to make the rest of the body bigger. “We’ve redesigned this character to remove the Male Gaze but she still has to be skinny.”
The most terrifying part of having memory issues is when you can feel something from 5 seconds ago be thrown out the window and there’s an empty hole where it once was. You remember that you forgot something.
The pit-of-your-stomach dread you feel when you finally remember what your forgot only to realize you’ve run out of time to do it… It would have been better if you had missed it entirely, but no, you remembered just in time to be paralyzed with fear over not being ready, like being woken up 30 minutes before a test you didn’t study for.
