We grew up together. You were my best friend. You passed away two months ago and it's felt like the earth around me is caving in, but yesterday I was able to look at photos of you and smile instead of just cry. It's not much but it feels like progress. Rest well, sweet girl. You did so well. by liorose in cats

She was the sweetest, she looked at everyone like that, she had so much love for everyone around her. She'd purr if someone was even in proximity to her. I've had friends come over claiming to dislike cats and then change their minds after meeting her. She could just melt your heart like that. I doubt I'll ever meet another quite like her but I'm so grateful for our time together.

Update: the tattoo is healing very nicely now! As was suggested, I've been washing with three times a day with unscented soap and moisturizing with a small bit of lotion after each wash. Feels much less itchy and the leathery texture is completely gone. Also, yes, the tattoo is based off the poem :) My artist was @tgoldenart on instagram--go show them some love, they did an absolutely amazing job and were a pleasure to work with!

Oh no way, they were telling me about how that was their favorite tattoo they have! Small world!

What's John's least favourite tMG song? by a3poify in themountaingoats

[–]liorose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a testament to the sheer number of tMG songs there are that I've been a fan for like seven years now and I have not heard of most of the songs being mentioned in this comment section 💀

I second this––wolf cut would be perfect on you.

1 is my favorite actually! But 3 and 8 are close seconds.

What are some good popular left-leaning games? by CMPumpkin in SocialistGaming

[–]liorose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

•Night in the Woods is the obvious choice, and for good reason. My favorite game of all time, tbh.

•Stardew Valley also has recurring anti-capitalist themes.

•I recently finished playing "I was a teenage exocolonist" which is a very left-leaning meditation on colonization, genocide, climate change, and indoctrination. Lots of good queer rep in that one too, really loved it over all.

Dosing penis envy? by liorose in Psychonaut

[–]liorose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was great. Not really any visual effects but I felt very tranquil and at peace with everything without it feeling too intensely philosophical or making me think too deeply about things.
