It would probably end up sounding the same or similar because it would be years worth of clubs and live music and band practise and listening to music in my earphones too loud all jumbled up together and playing at the same time.

Yeah I guess there's two different categories of sci-fi in this regard. Personally, I think stuff that's as far ahead in the future as Star Trek is pretty close to fantasy. But then there's also the Philip K. Dick style near future dystopian sci-fi that serves more as a warning about the future we're headed to (or instruction manual if you're a techbro CEO).

Fantasy is probably the same actually. I usually think happy thoughts if I think about fantasy as a genre but then there's also stuff like Game of Thrones.

I say take as long as you need with these. If you're anything like me, if your heart and creativity isn't in it 100% and especially if it starts feeling like an obligation or chore, then you wouldn't be happy with your work anyway.

That said, your writing and presentation and whatnot is awesome. You have a skill of pulling the reader in from the start and wanting to know more. If you don't do writing related work, you should.

Also, I very much get the impression that this is just scratching the surface with this woman. Sounds like someone definitely worth doing more reading up on. Her fate at the end there makes me feel like stocking up on Molotov cocktails.

I honestly liked Gen V more, personally. The Boys has kinda ended up in a position where it's constantly trying to one up itself and do more and more outrageous things. Gen V had the gore and edge but doesn't necessarily revolve around it. And it's nice to watch a show where the people you're supposed to be rooting for are actually likeable.

Don't get me wrong, The Boys has been a wild ride, but at this point I'll be glad to see a final season.

For me as a 39yo I feel like this one never really explaining. I'm pretty sure both cooked and cooking have been used in this way before. And I actually like it, I feel like they both express the thing pretty well.

😾

Winter. I also like the Autumn that I've read about, seen pictures of and seen people talk about. But we don't get much of a noticeable Autumn or Spring where I'm from. A few leaves on a few trees here and there will start changing colours but that's about it.

So Winter. Because you can wear your cool shit, you can do things without sweat and I prefer being snug and cosy under a duvet or two to lying naked under a fan and still not escaping the heat.

This "Autumn" that people speak of sure seems lovely though. Like the perfect season if it really existed here.

Thanks, you're also one of the people I enjoy seeing around here.

I think it is probably partially feelings of "they hate me now" but also self hate. The one who can't stand having me around the most sometimes is me. And being emo and shit isn't exactly a likeable trait either lol.

As I said, I'm in two minds though. Maybe I wake up in the morning feeling better or maybe I wake up and delete this app, at least until I've got my shit together.

Thanks for listening and responding, you're honestly too kind.

Omg twinsies except for the doing well and having a good life part.

Probably posting this right as this thread is about to get removed but doesn't matter, just need a place to park this comment. And I think it's mental health related.

Kinda thinking of stepping away from this place until there's more of a crowd to disappear to. A lot of people talk about how it's nice to see familiar faces around and I definitely agree. But also, I feel a little exposed and stupid in a smaller crowd way too often as well. And that's not the crowd, that's a me problem.

But I wish it were a little bigger and a little busier here. I felt stupid and did less cringing at dumb shitposts when I was just another comment out of a couple hundred. One on one conversations felt easier when that conversation was just a thread in a busy post and not 90% of the post. And on a bigger and busier platform you can go through your highs and lows without feeling like you need to fake your own death and start over after a bad day.

So I'm in two minds about all of this right now. I do get a lot of joy from this place and a lot of people here. But small towns have their draw backs too.
