listen, bc i am seeing this in non-robo circles now, you all have to understand the sheer confidence mangalho had here. Rung is an original transformer character written by James Roberts aka the guy who replied with “what?”. He’s also been called his self-insert. so you know, imagine you tweeting abt wanting to snort someone’s pussy dust, and the creator of that character wants to know what the fuck is up with you. and instead of going oops sorry! you stare back into his eyes and tell him to read

i love small joys so much!!!! yes i love my coffee in my favorite mug!!! i love the sun spilling in the window!!! i love the wind on my face!!! i love my blanket over my lap!!! i love the clouds in the sky!!!! i am seeking joy in every moment!!!!

There’s no grooves on a CD tho???
