Made Butter Mochi Without Butter Today. Another Day Living On The Edge

Currently feeling the emotion “just had water after chewing mint gum” with a side of tired

Kyojuro kept sight in his eye, even if the lid was damaged. Him and Uzui are besties. Despite his father’s comments on his appearance, Kyojuro does not cover his scarring.

Uzui offered to make him a patch if he wanted one but thought it was flashy that Kyojuro chooses to bear his scars with confidence.

Kyojuro tries not to think about his father’s opinion. He appreciates keeping his depth perception, and keeps eyedrops and salve from Shinobu to care for his injury on the long term. He does not love the reminder of his weakness, but at the same time, it is a reminder that he did his job; he protected the kids and came home to his family.

Western WA things from a long term resident:

Cause eastern wa is basically a different state

… note that while I have lived here for over a decade I’m just talking my experience

——————

> people who live in the more rural areas find it real strange when there’s continuous smog. Like fog happens all the time but usually that brown haze obscuring the mountains doesn’t last long bc the rain deletes it.

> some people love Seattle and some people hate what Seattle currently is and will rant about it

> The sand is typically relatively coarse and greyish. I went somewhere with kids-picture-tan sand recently and was surprised that that actually exists. Softer sand is usually only in the actual water in areas with more clay.

> We really don’t use umbrellas often, and it’s not so much stubbornness as it is that hoodies exist and no one really walks long distances unless they’re in a city center. There aren’t sidewalks, so you only have to deal with the rain between your transport and the door of your destination.

> if you plant mint, berries, bamboo, or blow dandelions, you are dedicating yourself to having it for life

> ppl are often very careful about food crumbs or they have ants. Sometimes both.

> there are rabbits, deer, raccoons, coyotes, and opossums. You’re gonna see or hear a lot of them, some more alive than others

> people say bag like flag/had/amp. It’s strange and unusual to hear someone say “bayg” but some people do.

> older adults and some of their kids will add an unnecessary “s” to the names of places and I don’t know why (Haggens, safeways, bartells)

> some of those same adults say “worshington” and the rest of us consider them instant enemies.

> during like 2/3 of the year there are bees everywhere. There is gonna be a dumb black jack in your house. It seems like a hive lives in every coffee stand. Wasps have taken up residence by your shed.

> speaking of coffee stands it’s unbelievable leaving Washington and not having coffee stands/shops/bars everywhere. Also where is the lotus?

> Every group of adults u join are gonna have some constant plaid wearers. That’s just the way it is.

> snow plows don’t go everywhere. This isn’t Chicago. We do not prepare. The plows get the arterials and highways and that’s about it unless ur somewhere real fancy.

> you can find clay like… everywhere if you know what it looks like.

> trying to look something up in your state and the results bringing up wa dc is infuriating

> people can get very excited when it’s clear enough to see rainier. For real though you can see rainier, the Olympics, and the cascades from the highway in many places

Odd things that have occurred around me:

> childhood neighbor with house full of dolls who may or may not have poisoned her husband to death got their house randomly cleaved in half by a fallen tree

> our black cat named midnight disappeared never to be found again on Halloween night

> our other cat lived longer than her body functioned and refused to go even after the first shot to put her down. She was 23.

> My mom left a traveling group early. The next day they all got in a crash. Most died, one was made paraplegic.

> Got rear-ended in a car-totaling crash that shoved us right between a light pole and a steep hill

> Told my cousin I didn’t believe in ghosts and was rewarded an hour later with a store cooler door swinging open as I passed it for no reason.

> Heard what sounded like radio chatter very quietly in my headphones on and off for a couple weeks

> Had a visceral, vivid dream that I got kidnapped, lived there for years with other kids, then the police and our families came but none of us wanted to leave because we felt it was home. I can still remember exactly what The Compound looked like, where I kept my things, my secret stash, my team, and the area we trained in. (I have had many vivid dreams but this one messed me up for days)

I have somehow desensitized my acquaintances to my verbal stimming enough that they don’t realize I’m semi verbal

I’m so tired. They’re so sorry.

Hey so how do you continue with your day when a discordant and unseen ice cream truck drives somewhere in the vicinity of your house playing a tune you have never heard before

Sometimes life is normal and sometimes u walk into a Costco and a giant skeleton is looking at u from over the tops of the aisles

Straight to jail for the fentons! Someone get JJ Jameson, I’ve found the real public menace(s)!

So does like… cps not exist in dp?

Cause like.

…

As someone who grew up with the threat of cps. I feel like a mandated reporter ought to have had smth to mandatorially report. Even if they didn’t know about Danny’s alter ego.

Also the fentons are totally fake scientists who know nothing about the scientific process or how to properly form theories and experiments.

Burning questions that have haunted me since watching Trigun Stampede:

-Does no one notice the difference between the pale stabby squid man and the fluorescent red golden retriever man?

-Is….. is the body suit attached? Is it not?

-what happened to Tesla after the crash?

-why does vash not know nai’s murderous employees by the time he’s like 150

-is no one going to acknowledge the incredibly invasive nature of what occurred in the last episode????

-what did nai do to vash’s gate at jeneora rock and why did he need diff tech in the last episode?

If anyone with more context or luck with research knows, or wants to theorize, feel free lol
