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.

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

I have a sort of drop-in game that I try to offer to run on a weekly basis. It's largely a dungeon-crawling game, venturing into dangerous places, stealing treasure, meeting strange people, sometimes fighting the strange people. This week it'll be tonight at the time this link should display https://sharetime.zone/America/Buenos_Aires/2200 . It'll go for about 2 hours after that.

It's over discord voice chat. The game system is Dark Dungeons, which is kind of a take on old versions of D&D, but it's easy to pick up without prior familiarity.

If you're interested in playing tonight, lemme know on here and I'll get you the server invite. also i guess if you'd like to be informed about future occasions, let me know that too hehe

it's fun how cats drink very noisily.

'cause when vivi is drinking from her water cup, i can hear it from bed and be like "aww, she's hydrating"·

at one point my wife showed me a post that was about how people with cats are always like "come look at the cat, it's urgent, they look exactly the same as usual so you have to come look"

and.... entirely true.
