Hyrule Citizens: Link, You Need To Go Find Zelda!

Genuine question: why do I startle people constantly?

Like I feel like I’m living my life, being polite, but also scaring people all the time for some reason.

Examples:

I’m pretty sure it’s polite to wait for someone to finish talking to interject, so I wait off to the side till there’s a break, but whenever I interject they startle.

I will go to say good morning to someone who is sitting, go to do smth, then come and actually say hi and they jump

People will be chatting or taking wayyyyy to long to look at smth and I wanna see smth nearby so I stay in eye/ear-shot but go look at smth else but when I return it is somehow surprising and startling

….

Y’all I don’t get it. I vocally stim like all the time, so I don’t feel like I’m a particularly quiet person, but I just don’t interrupt people? And somehow I startle like 5 people on a daily basis. Help me

Random LoTR things that amuse me:

- Elronds eyebrows

- Gandalf get your war magnet AWAY FROM MY SANCTUARY

- Legolas sees a sad, Legolas does a puppy eyes

- Saruman’s stare of judgement when Grima leans toward the gunpowder(?) with a torch

- Gandalf’s magic self-cleaning robe

- The number of ppl who say “mithrandir” with disdain

- Aragorn’s bs op tracking skills

- “Sam, can you just let me project in peace”

- Sam just casually taking out Sauron’s like… evil rival sister creature

- The Nazgûl king’s pursed (•̀ᴗ•́) face

- Either Aragorn or Merry trying to give pip a concussion with an apple

- The fire ent dousing itself with a faceplant

- Haldir being torn between amusement, reluctance, and surprise at Aragorn’s hug after feigning neutrality for all previous encounters

- Gimli’s shock at Legolas protecting him from Eomer

- Also how excited Gimli was about using the horn (idk what you call the tower horn thing)

- The fact that literally everyone seems to know Gandalf and has some form of strong opinion about him

The local Batdad is preemptively getting grey hairs

Space pasta puns

So like if fancy smart scientists decided that the theoretical process of what happens when you enter a black hole is “spaghettification,” I think we should brainstorm what the other pastas would be.

The black hole thing is because of the “infinite stretching and squashing” I believe. So like. How does one become lasagnaed? Fettucinied? Farfalled?

Watering he plants

Story time:

So one time I was at a summer camp and a kid brought a bulk package of pixie sticks with them (they’re flavored sugar in paper straws). They were sharing them with everyone but the counselors and leaders were not a fan of having a collective of like 100 sugar high 10 y.os for a week straight.

The pixie stick kid divided the bag amongst his cabin mates and what ensued in the following week was 100 10 y.o kids having sugar drug deals. There were shady secret meetups. Ziplocks of pixie sticks buried in hidden locations for pickups.

Kids were biting off pieces of the stick and chewing the sugar out so counselors couldn’t retrieve the sticks if caught. You just shoved the whole thing in your mouth and spat out the wrapper after.

I feel I should also mention this was a bible camp. A bible camp of pixie stick dealing 10 y.os.

New Zelda Game Thoughts

So. I think that having an actual Zelda-player zelda game is cool. But… am I the only one who feels a little… put out? That it’s such a cutesy style? Like don’t get me wrong, I love cute stuff. But for the first and only Zelda based game, I kinda hoped they would have gone for something that gives Zelda a little more credit.

It feels almost like it’s making fun of her abilities, in a way. Like if she’s going to be the main player, it can’t be serious.

I’m sure that’s not what they meant, and it’s fun to see how excited everyone is. I just…

I am screaming a lot on the inside and a little on the outside

Today I tried to buckle my seatbelt into my phone

Poor circulation and adhd be like:

The numbness in my arms is seeping into half my hand and fingers but I’m not going to move till I physically cant type

I sat here picking at this thing for so long my legs are now refusing to respond

I leaned against the arm of the chair for too long and now ants are stabbing me in the ribs with tiny swords

I switched to lounging with my legs over the arm of the chair and now the ant army is coming for my back

I’ve been compressing this tool for so long my hand has locked up and gone cold

I fell asleep at a bad angle and now my whole arm and part of my neck is asleep
