  • In the time and country I grew up, almost everyone had the same Converse style trainers at school for gym class. I thought I would mark mine to prevent mixing them with the rest, so I put my initials on the front: first initial on the left, second on the right. When I was done, I looked down at my feet and realised I had just written (the equivalent of) L and R on the according sides. Not smort.



  • The order of the stick! I used to read this regularly for a short time! I expected something random about different weapons, but you shared one of the rare old ones that I had actually seen back then - even more of a delight. Yes, it’s pretty fitting.






  • School gave me a serious boost in grammar. It would have taken me ages otherwise. That said, the majority of my vocabulary is still from games. I might still not know how to call that rolling painting brush thing but I know at least 10 words for different kinds of swords. You can never know.

    There was this guy that I thought was my friend. Whenever I felt down or had pretty bad thoughts, he assured me that was normal. I get that sometimes it helps, but he also never let me take things for granted, and even made me question genuinely positive things. He ended up ruining both of my major relationships and led me from a decently paying job (that I kind of enjoyed) to working a minimum wage job that ranges from decent to awful. He prevented me from enjoying things in life that I can never go back to experience ever again. I can’t say we’re besties anymore. That guy? That’s me.

    Fun fact: as opposed to humans, spider legs are curled inwards by default, and they need to put in effort if they want to stretch/extend them. This is the reason dead spider legs are curled up - lacking extra force, they return to their natural position. Some weird hydraulics.

    I can imagine the same happens to scorpions. 🎸
