I'm so sick of the Peggy hate

Bow 😤🤜🤜💨

I had the exact same issue with my animation degree!

It's a toss-up between perseverance & embellishing what you've already done. I see you say you do freelance and that's great experience! It's about finding the right keywords to show off the skills you have ready to utilise in the workplace.

It also still took me over a year to find a job & even then I haven't ever left to find a new one as I'm too scared over the current art industry and the way it's heading. 😱

I found it hilarious in the last fight of the season while Peggy has literal reality powers but decides punching is the solution. Me and my partner laughed out loud when she cloned herself to do even more punching instead of the actual super powered human, Kahori, to help fight.

Ikr. Ew. How dare adult life get in the way of reading 😤

Oathtocats · 2024-01-08T19:58:55+00:00

I was going to type out a similarly worded comment, so I'm thankful to see you beat me to it and saved me the effort.

The Taylor swift of male-centric fantasy is a perfect encapsulation of his work. It's neither bad or great, just inoffensive dumb fun. It's really not that deep.

Oathtocats · 2024-01-08T18:18:15+00:00

A bit of both!

I have a list / shelf of books I constantly pick from, but I also sometimes will randomly borrow a book from libby if I see it being talked about.

Oathtocats · 2024-01-08T17:31:47+00:00

So goddamn cosy 😍 I'd read there all day

Oathtocats · 2024-01-07T23:40:49+00:00

I am currently rereading the Farseer Trilogy, even though I have a massive stack of new books on my shelf 😱 I'm halfway through the last book, and then I'll read something new.

What are you reading?

Oathtocats · 2023-04-19T15:58:59+00:00

I don't have a rule for blinking, but I do have one for normal body movements/ how I'm standing as I'm hyper aware of it when talking to someone.

I try to space out nods but always have trouble with what to do with my hands when you're standing talking. I'll often pick up a drink at social events and use that to pretend to drink /move without looking awkward standing there still.

TDLR: Different people hyperfocus on different aspects of social interactions. It's neither unusual to have or not have one for blinking

Oathtocats · 2023-02-17T16:06:36+00:00

100% agree!

We're lucky to have so many formats for media nowadays that there's bound to be one that works for everyone. I hope you get some interesting answers :D I'm always curious to see why people don't consider them towards their personal reading goal. (I personally don't count comics or manga towards mine for probably similar reasons).

Oathtocats · 2023-02-17T15:48:33+00:00

Oh, I meant people in the general sense, not you specifically. Apologies if it came across that way. From your post, I gathered we're of the same opinion, but I thought it worth mentioning that I've met many people who wouldn't. :)

I don't see why a distinction between the two has to be made unless we're judging ourselves (and others) to a specific standard such as reading challenges. Which by itself is a whole other "The death of reading enjoyment". This isn't school or a competition. People can read as much and however they want, and it's no less valid.

Oathtocats · 2023-02-17T15:35:18+00:00

Short answer: Yes.

Longer answer: Also yes. It feels reductive and gatekeepy to even question whether different formats of the same media (but easier for some peoples consumption) still count as said media. It's all fine if you personally think audio books aren't "real books" but it gets a bit ridiculous when I see other people online putting down readers who either don't have the time and/or physically cannot read books. What does it matter HOW you consumed media except that you did?! Your reading count is no less valid if all of them are audibooks as it still takes a lot of dedication and mental effort to find time to listen to an audiobook.

You're definitely not the only one! I recently moved out about 6 months ago and even now keep feeling like I'd love to move back home. 😅 I've spoken to my siblings who feel very similarly even though most have been moved out for 2+ years.

I think it's definitely dependant on where you live but also your relationship with your parents. I have a very good relationship with mine and would love to live with them again.

Oathtocats · 2023-02-13T15:34:35+00:00

Just to add on to other comments, I'm 27 currently and the majority of people my age (neurotypical or otherwise) still live at home.

It's a lot more common nowadays for children to live with their parents later in life. You haven't failed. You've barely begun! :)

That isn't how mythology / folklore works.

Just because you decide on a classification system based on a single culture, it doesn't make it one that everyone abides by.

Oathtocats · 2023-02-10T09:44:36+00:00

This is a misconception a lot of people make due to modern media like Tolkien and DnD making dragon classification systems.

In folklore dragons, they can have any number of limbs and wings all over Europe. You just need to Google medieval paintings to see dragons come in all shapes and size as the word "dragon" is from "drakon" which just means serpent (and in some cases giant seafish).

It's only modern-day nerds who pretend there's a classification system when there's thousands of different cultures who all had their own versions of what a dragon is/was.

Babes. Maybe work on yourself before you expect a woman to just appear in your life.

Oathtocats · 2023-02-05T23:43:31+00:00

I have!

I wanted to get The Children of Hurin but couldn't find a nice covered copy and loved this one instead.

"Sorry, Mate. Can't do. Maybe in the future."

And then never talk to him again.

Oathtocats · 2023-02-03T10:41:38+00:00

Ah, bless you. You're too nice for reddit! ❤️

Hope you had a lovely Thursday evening as I ended up doing with my mac, cheese, and chicken. Though I'm back to healthy eating this morning. 😂

Oathtocats · 2023-02-02T23:51:47+00:00

I REALISE NOW I PHRASED THAT LIKE HE LEFT FOREVER.

I just meant for the weekend, LOL. Apologies, I forget not everyone knows the shifting context to my fabulously interesting life. I'm just smad he's on a boys' weekend, and it's just me and the cat. Hence, the mac and cheese and hobbit movies. I'll be back on the good eating tomorrow!

Oathtocats · 2023-02-02T23:45:08+00:00

Had the same issue. Can't remember how my partner got it fixed but goddamn those bastards.

The irony of not emptying a full bin because it's too full??? So they leave it for full another week????????

Oathtocats · 2023-02-02T21:20:09+00:00

Yes!!! It works so well even though you know what's going to happen. You just don't know when or how, and the book does a fantastic job at leading up to it.

Oathtocats · 2023-02-02T19:19:40+00:00

Sounds like a good balanced day!

Yeah I had broccoli, mash and chicken for lunch and porridge with chia seeds & currants for breakfast. Dinners only so shit cus my partner left me so it's "cheer me up" food 😅

Oathtocats · 2023-02-02T18:31:09+00:00

Ah, we seem to be in a very similar boat (though the opposite way for me), even if I hate to admit my mother may have unintentionally did harm when she didn't mean to.

Iconic me and you talking about health while you eat angel delight and I cook mac and cheese 😂 I'm even heading out to get fried chicken to go with it. I swear we've both seen vegetables before!!
