  • I think something like My Hero Academia and The Office would be pretty funny.

    Show me the really mundane side of superheroes. The “Jenna, please file these by tomorrow” but Jenna is 12’ tall. I think Dispatch comes close, but I want a whole ridiculous show. No heroics. Or even an isekai but in an office or normal job. Some mega powerful reincarnated whoever just needs to make some money.

    Feels like that’d be funny.








  • Oh the stories I could tell about my childhood dog, Grace. She was the most ungraceful dog to have ever lived.

    When she was still fairly young, she got into some pill bottle somehow, ate all the pills, and then went on a drug induced bender where she proceeded to chew through the entire cushion of our couch. The kicker is that there was a phone sitting there and she managed to step on it just right and leave a 20 minute voicemail of her going to town.

    We were poor so we kept that couch and just stuffed a blanket in the giant hole she made. It was hilarious at the time, but in retrospect, it was appallingly bad. I don’t remember if my parents took her to the vet or anything, but she was fine and grew up just fine otherwise.






  • I have a heart condition that I get an ECG (electro cardiogram) done for every 6 months or so. It’s just an ultrasound on your heart. They always take mine from a bunch of different angles and a bunch of different types of pictures.

    But I was recently in the hospital and told the technician that their machine was loud. She looked baffled. I told her I can hear the ultrasound and hers is the loudest I’ve encountered. Apparently I’m the only person she’s ever done work on (or however to say that) that’s been able to hear it.

    So I guess that is my super power. Or I’m just autistic, as apparently many autists can hear very high pitched noises.

    But the ultrasound is pretty cool. The frequencies and the pitch will change depending on what photo mode they’re in. Like a doppler mode is all pewpewpewpewpew while the normal mode is all eeeeeeeeeeeee. Lol. It’s hard to explain.




  • I was. I was scared for the other person, similar to another commenter. Without me, they were going to have nothing. But I got sick of setting myself on fire to keep them warm, and I was crawling out of my skin with misery.

    Our divorce will be finalized soon and I feel better than ever. Now that I’m on the other side of it all and healing, I just can’t believe how long I stayed. No one in my support network liked them and honestly I really don’t like them either, now that I’m gone.

    And despite all of my fears of them being destitute and depressed, they’ve realized they’re a freaking adult and can stand on their own two feet. Crazy how that works
