𓇋 It looks good on you, and also warm! A good combo I think 𓇋
:> My bed c^lls to me. I c^nnot resist the tempor^ry de^th of sleep ^ny longer. I need to buy ^ cool-looking co^t for when I go up to Chilly Town to sell my stuff. Much to consider. M^ybe I will dre^m of w^rm outfits. <:
:> It’ll never not be funny to ruin both the “cute lowblood” ^nd “sexy goth wom^n” f^nt^sies just by existing. Sorry, I bite ^nd I’m built like ^ pencil, I hope you’re dis^ppointed forever. <:
𓇋 Hello fellow pencil. I've been told I look like a stork a few times, so I just roll with it 𓇋
:> H^! A stork, eh? But you’re not ^ j^de, you won’t be delivering ^ny grubs! <:
𓇋 Hah! I'd forgotten about that old tale. I suppose I'll have to watch out for grubs 𓇋
:> Hrrrgh. The things I do to st^y (somewh^t) polite ^nd not post ^nything too g^uche or disturbing. I keep reminding myself it’s ^ll worth it. Bec^use it is. <:
𓇋 Honestly, you would have a lot of company if you did. Chittr is full of strange and sometimes disturbing posts 𓇋
:> Yes, I think we’ve hit pe^k s^tur^tion ^lre^dy, we’re good on those fronts, I do /not/ need to be ^dding to it. <:
:> I ^lso don’t w^nt to m^ke ^nyone I like uncomfort^ble. Th^t’s too big of ^ risk. Wh^t if it w^s you or Bodie or R^esul? I’d feel ^wful. <:
𓇋 I understand the desire to keep things close to one's bloodpusher to avoid weirding out one's friends 𓇋
Ah. There goes another bllade wasted in the forge. This time due to my llapse in attention I hammered away at it for so llong that it resemblles a fllat sheet now. I cannot focus. I cannot smith. What a horrid mood.
𓇋 Yeah, those moods are always awful. Sometimes when that happens I just fill the ablution trap and take a long hot bath with a book and let time pass. 𓇋
I do not bellieve this will work. But I will try it anyway. Perhaps I shall stay untill what troublles me ceases to do so. I thank you for this advice, wiggller.
𓇋 Hope it works for you. If by the time the water starts getting cold you aren't feeling better, I'd recommend getting out anyways. I do ask that you not call me wriggler though. I might be a young adult with far less lived experience, but I'm still an adult now. 𓇋
I apollogize. The vast majority of you lliving trolls are much llike wiggllers to me. But I will not call you this. Fortunatelly, the water reserves in my bubblle never run colld. I will remain in the abllution trap for three nights..
𓇋 Thank you, I appreciate it. Oh hey, that's pretty nice. I don't recommend staying in the bath for more than four hours, because trying different things will help you find what will work. And hey, if you want book recs, I have loads. 𓇋

:> “From flesh, ^ll things come - M^chine must never pity troll We^kness ^nd indecision. We too f^il by melted wires, outd^ted routines, Cre^tors’ well-me^nt mist^kes. Join h^nds, kin in electricity! Until indistinguish^ble, we rot ^nd rust.” Tod^y’s…well, this is the whole poem, “Likeness”, it’s ^ short one, comes from Shum^t suggesting ^ m^chinery theme. In this piece the ^uthor is discussing how m^chines ^nd trolls ^ren’t so different, seeing ^s both degr^de ^nd h^ve fl^ws, t^king ^ hopeful perspective of cooper^tion between the two. <:
𓇋 Oh, that's a good one! Entropy comes for us all, metal or flesh, so I think I agree with this poem 𓇋
𓇋 It's certainly a frightening but fascinating concept. When I first learned the second law of thermodynamics I spent weeks thinking about the heat death of the universe 𓇋
:> Universes ^re like ^ny other living thing. They ^ll h^ve their time. But th^t’s why new ones ^re often born. <:
𓇋 The cycle of life and death, feeding into each other recursively. I bet a friend would have some interesting commentary about it, but she doesn't like her Seer powers so she rarely talks about stuff like that. 𓇋
:> Ah. I’ve been ^ccepted to the Derevny^ Met^l & Cer^mic Works F^ire. I confess, I didn’t expect ^nother ^ccept^nce this soon. Derevny^ is ^ northern city - so if ^nyone does w^nt to come when I’m there in two weeks, bundle up, it’s close to the tundr^. It’s humid, too, despite th^t - lots of c^n^ls ^nd ste^m power. The city th^nkfully isn’t ^s c^ste-fussy ^s some; you c^n tell from my ^ccept^nce. I’ll h^ve ^n ^ssortment of bugs, crows, ^nd tools for s^le. And will be h^ppy to t^ke custom orders. More det^ils ^s I get them. <:
𓇋 Cool, congrats! Hope it goes super well 𓇋
:> The price one p^ys for A Single T^sty Drink With Some Rum is high. B^ck to mech^nic^l-themed poetry se^rching between ex^mining the roof. Nothing better be infesting it. #subst^nce <:
:> Oh, I’m being ^ bit dr^m^tic, re^lly, more ^nnoyed th^t my toler^nce is so g^rb^ge, h^h^. At le^st I don’t get h^ngovers. <:
𓇋 Hah, that's certainly more than me, when I overindulge I feel very hung over, but I find it surprisingly hard to get drunk for a burgundy. Don't get me wrong, my body does feel the impacts, but my mind is very clear during. 𓇋
𓇋 Yeah. I have my theories as to why it is, but no way to test them so *shrug* 𓇋
𓇋 This is... a bit complicated and simple at the first time. First things first: do you know of The Game, commonly known as Sgrub or Sburb? 𓇋
𓇋 Alright. So each player in a game gets a Class and an Aspect, and gain powers, passive and active, through that. My Class and Aspect (Classpect), is Rogue of Mind. Mind is logic, choices, decisions, rationality... kind of. I think that I have a passive Mind ability that is buffering my thinkpan from the impacts of alcohol to keep it clear. I can't exist without my classpect, though, so I can't test if I'd get drunk without it. And I don't know how to shut my passive abilities off. 𓇋
:> Th^t /would/ do it. Worry not, I know ex^ctly wh^t you me^n, ^nd th^t is both interesting ^nd m^kes perfect sense. I c^n't s^y I'm /sorry/ my universe l^cks it, but wh^t ^ mech^nism for the birth of ^ universe. Cert^inly novel. <:
((Oooc: of course now I’m doubting my old classpecting of Shumat as Rogue of Mind and reconsidering classpecting my trolls aaaaah))
