I'm really old school, unfortunately, which means that I try everything in my power to not overshare details that could lead back to me. I'm about to make this a burned account, and only come back for the tuesday posts to the little community I want to see flourish.

That's an interesting take on the evangelion ending. I generally avoid media that does fourth wall breaks unless it's strictly a comedic thing in a comedic story. Maybe that's why I just didn't get it. I generally even roll my eyes at the unreliable narrator framing, if it's from an 'out of character' type of narrator. Obviously a character isn't going to have all-the-knowledge, so it's not like they can be reliable in every sense, but if the entire book is framed as being from an unreliable narrator, then it just gets ridiculous, like a movie where the horror monster can make characters (and the audience) be completely tricked (so not just like an illusion, but where they've been standing staring at a wall thinking they've lived an entire life or something).

I don't think I have an ideal weekend. I've got so many balls in the air that I couldn't get it all in with a month of weekends. I'd want one that's inside, with a new (to one or both or all of us) media and hot chocolate or sweet iced tea and delicious snacks and warm blankets and soft murmurs, while outside the forest is softly blanketed in a chilly mist while the drizzling rain patters on leaves, or the view of the beach at sunset lasts eternal so when we get up to refill the drinks we look out and see a rainbow of reds and oranges setting the silhouettes of trees blazing black against the sky's fire. Or a weekend that ends at a peak or overlook with a chill breeze against flushed flesh, and the brilliant calls of loud songbirds below us in little hidden coves in the rock's face, and nowhere to go and nothing pressing to do but watch the distant river's whitecapped flow in the rapids. Or a lazy cruise in the small sailboat with a pirate flag for a sail (I love my sail, and it was the best silly purchase I've ever made) on the bay, and all that needs doing is finding a little sandy beach to pull up on and have a little bonfire that friends are there for. Or a fantastic new world awaiting us on a screen to be explored with whatever cool vehicle the game designers gave us, OR a fantastic old world that we want to revisit! Good books; a fancy new meal that we've never tried to cook before; an activity that may be silly but is fun to try; acting out parts in a play; seeing a play; deep, romantic sessions; hours with friends on a long-term, cooperative ttrpg or board game; figuring out a problem with the residence and coming up with (and pulling off) the perfect fix for it; >.> a night out at the local food, not bombs org.;

like... gosh. So many things that I would just be happy doing. I'm a really boring average westerner though: I like my coffee in a drink that could be classified as a dessert. I like my teas super bitter (yeeessssss, let that cup sit with the tea in it until it's ice cold, and then heat it up again!!) or super sweet, and matcha is surprisingly good (I'll fight the folks who don't like the grit)!!! Matcha milk tea with the boba is the best! Slightly bitter with the slightly sweet, so good! Hot chocolate is my secret vice though. That stuff will put pounds on me like a farmer fattening up a pig for slaughter. I know the vegans are right, but culturally (and all the other typical excuses) make forgoing all meat difficult. Anyway.

I'm actually all about the colon eyes. I can't stop trying new ones just to see if people can get what I mean. The kirby dance is still classic though: (>o.o)> (^o.o^) <(o.o<) (^o.o^) (>o.o)>
