build up a tolerance

Q: It was an emergency, man, I had to ask.

In my earliest "rp" games, my cat character was named Aeon Stormpaw

You stop doing things and read the same book and listen to the same song over and over until you feel calm again

Tangentially, when I was a kid I read an incredibly poorly written badly researched and clumsily edited book about Arthurian legends that was clearly aimed at children, so much so that it taught me things about the story that turned out to be wrong. But it's still special to me because it was also really interesting and full of fascinating stories and myths and info about the history of the medieval era and I think I read it several times as a kid. By the time I was 8 I'd already read the entire book twice, so I was well aware of the fact that it wasn't especially good. But this just made the experience feel more like a kind of magical nighttime fever dream I was having. It was the kind of thing that was wonderful but was so far outside the realm of the possible that I couldn't tell if I'd read a good book or a bad one in some magical meta-book that happened to look like the other book.

My life experiences have not prepared me for all the small things that can potentially remind people of me
