@pan ah i do not like it when that happens... like, i wanna eat, but then that will delay my being able to sleep, but then also if i don't then when i wake up i'll be even hungrier. alas :<

@aescling oh dear. i was initially hoping it meant 67 hours and was therefore presumably just a bug.

@Lady @aescling that makes sense. in porn comics (both japanese H doujinshi and anglophone online stuff, being the stuff i'm most familiar with), overt playfulness that makes clear that the creators are having fun with it seems to be pretty common, but not as a pacing mechanism (usually it's reserved for the beginning or end of a comic, or semi-out-of-band like in the text accompanying posting individual pages for online comics).

i think some of my fav artists do often bring in those moments of joy and fun; i'd have to go back and reread to see if they're using it as a pacing device, tho.

@Lady @aescling would the analogous device for you here be something that indicates that the characters are having fun or that the writers are?

@aescling alas

it's too hot

@aescling mi español es malo todavía. a menudo tengo que hacer preguntas a mi novia Sofía o usar un diccionario.

apologies to @aescling if either æ doesn't speak spanish and therefore do not understand my parts of that convo or æ speaks spanish well and is annoyed by whatever errors i am surely making.

maybe i will make the giraffe that understands things my header image. i screencapped it for a reaction image but it’s surprisingly rare that i want to use a reaction image to indicate i understand something.

este servidor ahora tiene un selector para especificar la idioma de cada mensaje. yo escribo este mensaje en castellano por eso.

i should probably come up with a header image at some point.

rain!

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.
