My comfort food is something really stupid and gross but every time I think about it I just get so happy since it reminds me of being really little but I feel weird about it because everybody else has things like pie or carrots or Mac and cheese as theirs and I don’t
What is it?
Cottage cheese, a banana, and some type of cheese crackers like Cheez-Its or anything similar. All on a plate together
When I was really little my parents went to the grocery together, obviously. When they came back it was usually the evening and I was hungry. They weren’t ever in the mood to just break out stuff and start cooking right as they got home, so they’d give me that since it was simple and could tide me over. I called it the ‘Mommy and Daddy Getting Home From the Store Snack’ because that is when I would eat it. And it was the same every time. The crackers would change like sometimes they’d be Spongebob-shaped but they were always cheese crackers. It makes me feel like a little kid again, eating happily at the old wooden table with the broken seats while my parents put the groceries away behind me Even just thinking about it now is making me crave it desperately and I don’t really eat those things anymore
Someone on Reddit was talking about their grandmother's reaction to them coming out as transgender and I started thinking of my late great-grandmother. She was Christian in every single sense of the word, so I don't think she'd be very happy with me coming out to her. However, she also radiated kindness and fairness from her and always said you weren't a good Christian nor a good person if you can't love and accept everyone regardless of who they are. So I always felt as though even if she personally didn't approve of my lifestyle, she would still love and accept me as her great-granddaughter because that was the kind of person she was
she sounds niceI always try to stress that Jesus let a thief, an actual criminal into the Kingdom.
if he loves criminals I'm pretty sure LGBTs are no issue
more people need to realize that
She was literally the nicest person I have ever known. I try my hardest to be as much like her as I possibly can. There was nobody in our family like her. I'd say she was taken from us too soon, but she was already eighty-five. But she died from cancer. It always seemed unfair that she survived as much as she did in her long life and it was cancer that took her out. But I think she was satisfied with her life and everything she had done. She had no regrets. I don't usually say this but I genuinely hope she got to go to Heaven. She deserves it
That's so sweet. I'm glad you got to know her.
I'm still awaiting the day when people can criticize the more liberal agenda and ideals without actually going into the whole territory of 'oh but f**k transgenders seriously they don't even exist' Like you're no better I've actually been accused of not supporting the LGBT community just because I spend a majority of my time calling them out for hypocrisy. But I still respect the community and support them for many reasons including the obvious. I'm just so sick of finding someone who calls out hypocritical liberal ideals and getting invested in their ideas, thinking we share some thoughts, and then having to stop following them because they slam down the 'transgenders aren't real, f**k actual gay people, mental disorders are all an illusion, oh and screw women too they have rights so they can't whine'

That's strange, the library computer just kicked me off because it said my session had expired. But it's nowhere near time for the library to close
Do the sessions have a time limit?
Yes, but they always add more time to your sessions before it expires unless it's near closing time, obviously. This is the first time it's ever happened to me and it spooked me a little. But it was probably just a mistake. The computers have been acting strange here all day
Mom told me if I dared to write that Trans!Nagisa fanfic and tag it on AO3 as 'Canon Trans Character' I will get massacred by the fans and I told her that I was more than ready for the slaughter
My Mom: “Wow, this movie looks really good! I can see why it got all of the praise it did, it looks so interesting and unique! I can’t wait to watch it!” Also My Mom: “Ugh, people actually liked this?! It looks so boring and overdone! If I ever am forced to watch it I can assure you I’ll be in agony during most of it,”
Someone invited me to an RP group called Shadow World and everytime I see it I keep thinking that it says Shadow Realm instead
I got a bunch of downvotes on Reddit just because I partially joked that most of what I play are shovelware games lol

Me reading the website description for Zanki Zero Last Beginning: "This looks really interesting! But I'm not sure if it's something I'd be into," Game Website: "Don't forget to make sure all your characters take time to eat, sleep, and use the bathroom! Seriously, it's bad for your entire party if you don't!"
Me: *slams money on table* "I WILL NOW BUY YOUR GAME"
My mom is making me rewatch an anime with her and it’s not even an anime that I want to rewatch
Making your characters survive in a post-apocalyptic world sounds like fun until you realize you have no idea what you’re doing

Servamp
She also kept me awake last night by watching a really loud anime
YA Week? I guess you could say that At long last, finally, my time has come
OMG someone accepted my prompt on AO3!!! It's been there since late-April and I was thinking about maybe just getting rid of it or claiming it anonymously but OMG somebody actually claimed it!!!
I was going to go to the library tomorrow but we have an Excessive Heat Watch and I decided 'no' on that And Mom told me if I ever want to live in Mississippi I'm going to have to learn to deal with super hot temperatures like that and I told her Mississippi is different because it's supposed to be that hot, it's not supposed to be hot here lol
SOMEONE HERE SMELLS LIKE PEPPER-JACK CHEESE
I sneezed and a random guy sitting across from me said 'bless you' and I don't know why I find it so funny
I am so sick of my journal being in the wrong place and of its title. Why can’t GoodReads fix it already?! I’ve been waiting since February!
We have an excessive heat warning until Sunday
So do we. The CDC has literally been saying to avoid going outside when you can.
Yup same here
All the while the warehouse still lacks AC >.>
So how exactly do you know when your prompt is completed on AO3? Do you get an email or something? I'm still very new to this and I'm honestly sick of constantly checking my sign-ups on a daily basis just to see if my prompt has been done or not
I took the plunge and watched that live-action Bleach movie on Netflix!!! Mom didn't appreciate my review at all sadly so I guess I'll just post my thoughts here in case one of my invisible readers is on the fence about watching it....I mean I doubt it but I guess you never truly know.... Anyway, going in I thought it was going to be just a shot-by-shot remake of the first arc. Which I would've been fine with, but I've already seen Bleach: The Rock Musical and wanted something different. Thankfully, that's not what this movie's about. It does a good retelling of the first arc in a way that both pays homage and breathes new life into the series. It truly felt like it belonged in the Bleach canon alongside the actual manga and anime
The Hollows had a really great voice, they all looked creepy. I really liked how they changed the plot from Ichigo learning how to become a Soul Reaper into 'hey kill Grand Fisher otherwise Rukia kills you' and focused on Ichigo and Rukia training to get stronger. The fight with Grand Fisher was amazing, way better than how I remember it being in the anime. I even like the fight between Ichigo and Renji. The actors would good. The soundtrack was amazing.
I do kinda have qualms with some of the character designs. I understand it's live-action and thus things have to be more toned down, but wigs!! WIGS ARE A THING! In Bleach: The Rock Musical, the actors all wore wigs so they resembled the characters. It's so bizarre to see Orihime with not even brown hair but black hair. It's the thing she's known for. It seems wrong to see Masaki without her vibrant hair. And I didn't like how they gave Rukia really long hair. She doesn't get that until the very end of the manga. The actor they picked for Chad looked the part, but his acting was pretty stiff. Renji looked really feminine for some reason, and the actor playing Byakuya still wore his modern earrings while in costume. I don't recall Byakuya ever having pierced ears? Also, Karin and Yuzu were basically the same character. They dressed and acted exactly the same. In the series, Karin is a rough-and-tumble tomboy while Yuzu is a very sweet, caring, motherly girly-girl. They go to visit their mother's grave in the movie and Karin is wearing a flouncy dress. She'd never wear that in the anime! The only way you could tell them apart was Karin had a baseball cap and Yuzu had a flowery pink hat. Other than that, they wore the same girly dresses.
The guy who played Keigo though was freaking fantastic. Ishida's actor was great too. I loved his moment with Renji and how he helped Ichigo fight Grand Fisher unlike in the series. I also liked Ichigo telling Chad to protect the regular citizens as he fought, and Orihime going over to Chad and saying: "It's Kurosaki-kun, isn't it? You can feel him too....I know it's him," It seemed very reminiscent of the anime. So did the ending, with Rukia taking her powers and memories back from Ichigo with him saying: "I was protected by someone again, Mother. Even at the very end,"
AND THE SOUL SOCIETY'S DESIGN
You only see it for a second but wow I really want to see more! I love the dark, dank, almost hopeless vibe it has, with the numbers of the thirteen squads stretching high above the city like skyscrapers. I could stare at that shot of the nighttime, desolate Soul Society all day. It fits the location in a strange way, especially at that point in time before we learned about the Soul Reapers
Basically, it was really really good! Way better than I expected it to be. I can see why it peaked the box office rates in Japan and got nominated several times. It deserves all of its awards if it won any. I am desperately hoping they make a sequel of it, I am dying to see the live-action interpretations of the other Soul Reapers! Like Momo and Yumichika! Heck, I want it to adapt all the arcs! It was that good!
Mom told me the next episode of the anime Fire Force is postponed for a week due to the animation studio fire because otherwise it’d be in bad taste and I told her I was a bit jealous since there’s so much stuff that got banned here due to 9/11 that still hasn’t seen the light of day and she got mad at me lol
My middle brother was supposed to take me to a party but it started an hour ago and he hasn’t said anything so either he snuck out without me or just decided not to go

I was thinking that it could be interesting to do what Rick Rioden did for But then I remembered demigods aren’t really a thing in Japanese mythology because a lot of the gods and goddesses either don’t really communicate with humans all that much or think they’re above them and thus don’t want to be around them. A few had children but only with each other. Plus a few don’t even look like people, like Raijin is literally just a giant dragon
The closest example are various legends and sometimes real people too are often believed to be the child of a Yōkai if they can do extraordinary things, usually the child of a Kitsune since they were just that common. And there’s lots of legends of humans getting married to Yōkai and having whole generations of families with them, sometimes unaware. Although many Yōkai like Kitsune or nekomata or Tengu were historically and even now portrayed as being very violent and dangerous. Like nekomata were infamous for allegedly tormenting people by raising skeletons from the ground and forcing the dead to dance and do their bidding. That’s why they like the full moon. Or how kappa want to butt-rape you to forcefully expel your soul from your body. Because the Japanese believe your soul is located in your anus for some reason. It just doesn’t really seem like a series that would catch on for children
But I still kinda like the idea of them being the children of these dangerous and scary creatures. Their ‘camp’ could be a secluded temple in the mountains somewhere and they’re basically taught how to communicate with each other better, work together, and be respectful to humans and the world around them. The MC could have a father who is a creature typically associated with being female just so characters can look at her family portrait and comment on it and have her be all like ‘my dad is the Kitsune, not my mom!!!’ ETC They could wear old-fashioned kimono and clean the shrine and help cook and train. Their teachers could be the Seven Lucky Gods as well as a powerful human exorcist who knows of their world and basically keeps them in line
And it could be interesting to show more traditional interpretations of more well-known Yōkai as well as more lesser-known creatures
But I don’t know. As I said there’s only so many things you can do with everyone being the child of a disagreeable, evil creature. But at the same time, even if the story isn’t that good, the mythology could be solid and teach people new things
A series like that for Japan would be great. Maybe we'll get something from Rick Riordan Presents.
I don’t really think he’d write it himself personally but I could see him commissioning someone to do it
No, he wouldn't.He flat out said he won't be doing mythologies he doesn't know for that exact reason: he would botch them. Instead, RRP is to help people who DO know the myths get their books published.
I have a Hindu and Mayan book that were published with help from the program.
Um, I mean I have copies of the books. I didn't write them :D
Then I should look into this before someone else takes that Japanese idea lol
Why’d you even post that there, did you want me to answer it or something? Lol
it's personal
