alyssa @alyssa@cat.family

eventually i may do a more proper intro post, but as a placeholder for now:

hi, i’m alyssa, or lyssa, or alice. or a bunch of other names if you know me well.

i don’t know yet what i’ll about yet, but possibly my daily life, or things i read or watch, or write.

for some reason today vivi has decided that her favorite place to play with her mouse is next to the cleaning cabinet that is sufficiently low that if she knocks it under the cabinet she can't get it out.

like, every time i throw the mouse for her, she goes and grabs it, then goes and brings it to that spot and plays with it a little while, and if she manages not to lose it then she takes it somewhere else (such as back to me)

kitties have such cute little mouths.

vivi likes to play fetch with her mouse toy

but i think she doesn't quite get that in order for me to throw it again she needs to actually bring it back to me. so sometimes she brings it to like, the doorway of the bedroom and drops it there and sits there watching me

one of them is when she faves one of my posts about her

there are few things as satisfying as texting a joke to Sofi and hearing her laugh in the other room

do humans also have their back expand when they breathe?

i ask, watching vivi sleep and seeing that both her front and back expand and contract as she breathes

mi reacción después de leer un párrafo de una fic: una de las maneras más gays de decir que es hetero

due to sofi mishearing me i have now decided that today is also Vivi Day

to be clear it is also perfectly reasonable for people from spain to write los simuladores fics in their native dialect. it just has the potential to be really funny also.

"coger" in spain means like "to take", "to grab"
in argentina it means "to fuck"

now i'm imagining someone from spain writing a los simuladores fanfic and using the word "coger" in a very non-argentinian way.

presumably people from other anglophone countries frequently have this problem with usamerican authors of fic for media set in their countries

having to remind myself that a british writer writing a fic set in the US in their native dialect is every bit as reasonable as it would be for someone to write such a fic in, say, spanish

apparently basically every dynasty in chinese history starts out their reign with an agrarian reform
