if i made a video game where you get to pick the gender of the player character i'd make both the options be nonbinary and you can either have they/them or it/its pronouns. those are your only options

im realizing very fast that people do not in fact know that sometimes things in stories suck on purpose and it sucking is the point

(eating a pill i found on the floor of the club bathroom) hope it's a placebo. i don't need any effects right now

also I don't think parents "these days" are uniquely terrible, I just think neglect is showing up in new ways as technology progresses. today's ipad kid would've been wandering around in a ditch alone all day and night before. parents not wanting to have to deal with children is not a new phenomenon.
