You ever find a song that you feel on some profound level has to very strongly suit a certain character somewhere, but you have no idea who that character is or if they exist

I just learned that the technical term for second hand embarrassment is "vicarious embarrassment", and that's the best fucking term I've ever heard

Hate to ask, but an October bill processed early and now I have only a 1$ until I get paid on the 1st and the cats need food. 20$ should cover it for the small bag of science diet that they're on for medical reasons. ko-fi.com/pilsberyjoeboy

#AuGhost #AuGhost2026 day 14, trying something a bit different today. Today's ghost watches the sunset.

Digital painting of a ghost, watching the sun set over a small pond. A black cat walks beside the ghost, yellow dragonflies hover over the pond, and one frog sits on a lily pad and another on a fallen log.

My bookstore rent is going up, and my Bookshop sales are pretty much covering the difference currently! If you’re a Bookshop shopper, considering using Plot Twist Cafe as your selected store (if you don’t already have a local fav). It really makes the world of difference to us little guys 💜

I will forever despise line edits with unending hatred until the day my body lies cold in a shallow grave. If there are no line edit haters left on this careless, indifferent blue and green rock then I am already dead.

Random thought that has no relation to anything but I'm very passionate about: I hate that vanilla is used as a byword for blandness or lack of flavor. That's just wrong. It literally isn't. Vanilla is sweet and delicious in all its forms. Fuck you.

I feel like some people these days are so paranoid of puritans encroaching on everything that they interpret anyone acting less freaky than them as a personal affront Like dude, we can have both. Quit being such a hardass, you're acting exactly like the people you hate

I know exactly who needs to hear this, but if a specific tag on something bothers you, you can just not read it lol. Nobody's forcing you. Feeling personally affronted because the author is expressing tastes that don't align with your and interpreting that as patronization is fucking bizarre

A friend of mine might kill me for this, but here goes: Lies of P. It's a fine game. I played the whole thing, even enjoyed it in parts, but on the whole I found it very mediocre and just didn't care for the premise or gameplay much at all. I feel like all the praise it gets is really overblown.

Rare public venting but there's a particular person on a particular discord server I rarely interact in who I swear to god, without fault, posts some kind of "um actually" message any time I post something semi-serious, and my god I've never wanted to punch someone in the jaw more. Shut uuuupppppppp

My book released 15 days ago. Have you checked it out? I think it's neat. You might think it's neat too. An herbalist, a fey lord, and a curse to break before summer ends... 🌿 itch: earlronove.itch.io/whenyesterda... 🌿 universal: books.earlronove.com/whenyesterda...

A trope/theme map for When Yesterday Ends. The cover of Ambrose and Renwick standing back to back in front of a golden window is in the center with a tagline above, tropes to the sides, and where to find your copy to preorder along the bottom. The tagline reads: "an herbalist, a fey lord, and a curse before summer ends..." The tropes/themes read: cozy fantasy adjacent, secrets buried in magic, slow burn "it's complicated" m/m relationship, reforging a broken friendship, grump & prickly x softhearted & flirty, small town magic, herbs, potions, spells, curses, oh my!, nothing is what it seems...

Yknow the more I think about it, the weirder it feels that the guy in this was in a panic over seeing a guillotine, an archaic execution device that'd be extremely cumbersome to use, when we live in a country with crazy amounts of unregulated guns lmao
