Much like Livejournal...had to just go through and purge the pages upon pages upon pages of obvious porn spam.

So, I've since added slightly more writing.

I wrote Sinister for maybe the last Ladystuck or maybe the game will electrocute the fandom back into short-lived spasms of activity. Also, I should probably crosspost the rest of my non-pesterlog to FFN.

Watching Him Sleep on AOOOOOO and FFN features Pearl handling Rose being dead and a baby super great!

Pear and Pearl and Pearl on AOOOOOOOO and FFN is about Pearl hanging out with other pearls in the days of glorious revolution. Honestly, like 10% was just straight up disdain for how fandom always gives them color names to distinguish themselves instead of wallowing in how fucking creepy it is. Pearl isn't White Pearl. She's just a pearl, and if she breaks you get a new one and you call that Pearl and if that one breaks you get a new one and you call it Pearl and if somebody asks where Pearl is you shrug and you point at the one standing next to you because she's right there idiot why are you asking and I should write more fic.

Finally, Image of God updated on AO and FFN to introduce the third main side character. I've since written more so expect future updates sometime before the sun burns out.

Further comment on the year so far will come on Dec 31st 11:59 because I'm sure a cat can develop something new and expensive in that timeframe.

Also I really want a pug. It could play with the Bengal cat so he'd stop playing with the other cats who hate the concept of play and fun. He's super gentle and doesn't hurt much when he wrestles, it's just wrestle-tag is really, really boring and I'm sick of playing it and getting woken up at two AM because Zo-cat is screaming about how she's sick of playing it and it's too cold to just throw him out.

There's a two frame glass door on the front of the house. When I came home last night I found a mouse sitting on the bar in the middle. Like any reasonable person, I immediately caught it. (It seemed strangely tired.) I stuck it in an empty breadcrumb container, gave it a cherry tomato for food and water, put plastic wrap over the top, and poked some holes in for air flow, planning to take it out tomorrow somewhere far away from the cats.

It starts jumping around a lot, which gets the hunter-cat interested, so I put it in another room and close the door. That seems sufficient to get her to forget it exists.

Later, when I'm trying to sleep, my cat is going crazy. She keeps coming in and meowing really loudly, which always means either "something's really wrong waaah" or "hey I killed a thing hey hey look I killed a thing" so I have to wake up and check every time. I finally fall asleep only to be woken up by "DEFINITELY KILLED A THING YES" from her. She drops a mouse on the floor. It seems dead but I'm pretty tired at this point and not really on the ball with finding a container. It suddenly gets up and skitters away, and the cat keeps catching it, dropping it, and losing it as it runs again. Finally it goes under my bed and my cat comes back out without it.

I sit up for a while longer waiting for the cat to make another attempt which she doesn't. She just rolls around purring like an idiot. Finally I start looking and I find it burrowed into a blanket I kicked off the bed. I get it into a container, find a tall plastic thing to transfer it into, put the plastic wrap on, and go to put it up with the other mouse.

Of course, it is the other mouse, the stupid little asshole having held onto the lip of the first container long enough to chew through the plastic and get out, so I have to go get a real lid and stab holes in that.

Anyway the mouse didn't escape that and didn't die over the night - it's in surprisingly good shape for a mouse that got caught so many times! On the other hand, that means the annoying stove mouse is still there, ready to be caught another night at whatever hour the cat knows is least convenient.

I think the stuff we're buying has too much weird fillers and crap. To the blender!

The stupid cat is currently sitting next to me, staring, because when I ate chicken some days ago, I gave him the cartilage.

With normal cats, the thought process goes:

Chicken smell -> go to -> i can has? ->yes!!!

Apparently with him:

person chewing -> MAGIC FOOD APPEARED????

It's like a dog, except dogs are there because they actually want the food, making him a double failure as a cat.

He also got hailed on for god knows how long because he just stands in front of the door silently waiting for it to open, as always. It's not like he has any problem making noise because he started wailing as soon as I looked out, he just grasp that you can use sound to communicate with things that aren't in your direct line of sight.

Ah, March, in like a lion, out like a lamb, just like they say! Now we're on to what looks like a gorgeous April, full of warm rain and sprouting plants. What wonderful weather!

It's really freaky how bright it is when it's snowing at night.

Also back to chugging away at Undertale.

Almost killed the dumb cat. We learned that he doesn't seek shelter and he also doesn't make any noise to indicate he's right outside, he just stays there in the cold all night. Despite this we're still letting him out because he's still scared of litterboxes.

Some girls came by and were confused to see the smart cat in the window, because apparently they're trying to track down some strays someone else has been feeding.

"Oh, that can't be her," I said, "she hates people."

"It's a stray cat terrified of anyone getting near it," they said.

"Oh. In that case it's definitely my cat you've been feeding. Sorry about that."

And pudding cat continues to be a fat fat pudding cat. She moves with the majesty of a whale.

AOOOOOOOO and FFN.

In which I remind everyone that you don't say your ipod has gone renegade if somebody else walks off with it.

I was starting to feel bad because maybe your parents threw out stuff you actually wanted but that was before we reached the layer of unused gift cards and digital cameras.

Over on AOOOOOOOOOOO and FFN.

In which it's considered that just because Rose is better at dealing with other people by the low standards of gems doesn't mean she's good at it.

Glad to have this finished, it's part of why I haven't been getting enough reviewing done.

FFN and AOOOOOOOO.

In which a pearl grows very slightly closer to an important decision.

Should obviously have been doing reviews or at least updating a pokemon story so the flood of angry reviews it'll get will make any sense, but...

The new Steven Universe episode seems to be contradicting all the Pink Diamond stuff I hate and also the basis for evil Rose stuff too! Best episode.

I am full of so much gleeful schadenfreude I might end up posting on tumblr, even! We'll see.

So this enraged me when I first saw it and I still want to complain about it so let's cap this year off with that.

This is easily half of what I hate about Steven Universe fandom chatter. "A character did a thing I identify with! Therefore it must be for precisely the same reason as I do it, and also they must be exactly like me in all other ways! Peridot knows stuff about a thing? I know stuff about a thing too! It must be because she's super into knowing stuff about a thing for no reason, and not because that was her job, because none of this could possibly have to do with anything but the one way I identify with the character!!! Neither are the ways she doesn't act like this relevant! All of it, every last bit, must be them being LITERALLY ME! While I'm doing this, I'll also completely ignore that the other half of what I'm talking about actually applies to the rest of the characters, because this one is LITERALLY ME and all others are NOT ME AT ALL and it's not like characters can have a variety of traits instead of this binary because representation is important."

2016 prediction: Jasper eventually gets out of the ocean and gets freaked out with things touch or restrain her and this proves she is so incredibly autistic because she has sensory processing problems, meanwhile the rest of the cast continues to be completely terrible at understanding other people's feelings despite good intentions on all sides, it's probably definitely because they're garbage people who are terrible.

I really do love Christmas, especially doing stuff to the presents. Every present I wrapped this time is actually two presents, but the second one is hidden.

I'm the only one in my family who does this. Also the only one who stays up late. Possibly a connection there.

Still raining but it's progressed to t-shirt weather. Sparrows are working on a nest in the gutters.

You'd think at some point this would scare people.

It's raining so I put on a sweater to go outside, but it made me too hot.

And I'm older.

Also, looks like I'm getting another chicken.

Current events are so weird. There's that Childhood's End show on TV and it reminds me of how when I read the book ages ago, I thought how incredibly optimistic the writer had been in thinking we'd be in a much better place even before the aliens showed up to fix things. And since then it's often seemed like we're not so much moving slower than expected but actually backward. But then there's other things where there seems to be so much progress - I'm stunned that somehow we got from "it's progressive to not ask if people are gay before letting them into the military" all the way to "trans people are okay I guess" already. I'm a little worried that this is going to be a wobble thing and there'll be backlash, but it seems like most people just don't care enough when it comes down to it to cause a backlash - it's just become normal.

I really hope the Republican party grits their teeth and refuses to nominate Trump so he'll have to run third-party and split the vote. After everything they've done, they could redeem themselves a little by throwing themselves on this grenade.
