Yeah Hi, Google, This Is The FUNNIEST FUCKING AD I've Ever Seen

I have a friend who is very into sumo.

Trying to casually understand sumo is a little like trying to casually understand cricket. But I more or less get the basics just from watching tournaments with her.

But the one part of sumo that will always baffle me, even AFTER it was explained, is the giant macaron...

I legit thought these were photoshoped until I sat down and saw a match myself.

can someone please tell me what the fuck I just saw

i could survive my own autopsy

whats all this then

Porn fic that takes fifty thousand words to get to the fucking and it's not even a slow burn, it just takes that much worldbuilding to properly contextualise the author's incredibly specific kink.

the everyday struggle

I just noticed that if you find out the real meaning of Tequila Sunset while on a date with Lilienne and decide to reintroduce yourself as Harry (Disco Elysium spoilers incoming)…

She will call you Harry after the tribunal.

That is such a change from Idiot Doom Spiral, who expressly refuses to call us by our real name, even after we formally introduce ourselves.

In a way, then, I think Lilienne is our hope that we'll get better. A hope for a better future. Idiot Doom Spiral meanwhile, is the representation of what we were. What we can remain. What we can become, if we aren't careful.

And we can choose. We can tell people who we are. Harry, or Tequila Sunset, or we’re not really sure.

So though I must object to much of Mega Rich Light-Bending Guy's ideas, I have to agree with this:

Names can change the reading of a person.

They can change a person.

They can change us. Whether we try to reverse time, or end it, or push forward, despite everything.

Because remember: Our name means something.

It was meant to keep us safe.

whatever (renders to 240p because i don’t feel like being 1080p today)

Some sort of post-first time maybe scenario
