Hi, @Yeladim!

@trystan ,the scene with the rolling things and the chickens.

i think i remember which scene that was.... the firey birds?

@trystan ,I don't remember fiery birds in the scene. It was a market/town scene, and huge ball shaped things were rolling through it. I'm dead certain a chicken got crushed under one of the rolling thing, and that triggers old flashbacks that I'd love to avoid.

hmm.... i think i have to rewatch Labyrinth now. research and all that

I had to check. Sadly Labyrinth is not on Netflix streaming, but it is on the DVD service.

@Yeladim , @trystan. lol!

Sorry. Stuff going on, and I can't brain much right now.

Tell me, though, is anything in my profile or signature demeaning or offensive to other people?

i have Labyrinth on DVD!

Tam - nothing seems offensive to me... but I seem to have a high level of tolerance for stuff....

Me too on the offense. I’m usually the one offending.

@trystan & @Yeladim , I was told that insisting that "they" means more than one person is hateful to nonbinary people, so I took it down, even though the idea of it meaning one person breaks my autistic brain. *bonks head*

Well, I've use They for maybe 30 years as the indefinite pronoun. Sounded better than "It", but I get the multiple people thing. I excuse it because I'm a Gemini, so I'm kind of a "they" naturally.

i've used "they" for plural and singular. "oh look, someone left something at my register.... i hope they come back for it" is pretty common. and my cats in a group, "they are sleeping on the cat tree."

love your gemini comment, Yeladim. one of my younger brothers is a gemini, as is my younger daughter too

@Yeladim @trystan
I think someone on that game had been harrassed, and when they saw my thing they went into hound down the bully mode. Which resulted in me being censored, which resulted me being triggered... and destroying over four years' worth of game stuff in my panicked rush to get away. They even took down stuff that I'd had on my profile since I'd joined that game.

Um... German/gemini? I don't understand?

That's terrible.

*hugs*

I was a -head down avoid eye contact- person in school and made sure I was skinny and weak. Bullies in school gained nothing going after me, which was how I liked it. I really don't understand, someone bullied me and so I need to bully you, mentality. And 4 years of play. That's a lot of time and creative effort. Hopefully you can still keep the fun in your head and it isn't soured by the end.

Gemini, as in Sun Sign / horoscope. Gemini is the twins, which I've been told explains why I'm usually of two minds on everything.

ugh, sorry someone treated you that way, Tam.

i got picked on and bullied up through high school.... and I didn't have the self-esteem to not let it get to me.

as for Gemini - what Yeladim said.

@Yeladim @trystan

Thanks, guys. I was fighting so hard not to view non binary people as mean boogiemonsters out to hate me. Which I know is a silly response, but yeah CPTSD. Your kind words of sympathy have helped me a LOT.

A lot of creative effort, Yeladim. It was FR. I'd stories for each dragon, clothes and pets on all of them, skins and scenes on many. Once I'm done grieving (and shivering in mental corners), I'll probably be able to remember the good memories. It seems strange to go into mourning mode over pixel creatures, even though I've realized for awhile now that my dolls are my children.

Also re: Gemini. WOW, I didn't realize my eyes could get that glitchy on me. :lol: Sorry about that.

I also got bullied in school. And slugged a couple of them when they surprised me into action. I still don't know how one guy walked away without harm after I threw my lock and hit him right at the base of the skull with it. I had deadly aim when I was startled. I just hope it never caused him harm later.

oh wow
{{hugs Tam}}

Tam_I_am

I just hope it never caused him harm later.

Probably did him a lot of good. Hopefully it knocked some sense of how big a jerk he was being. LoL

Thanks, @trystan.

I honestly can't remember ever interacting with him after that, @Yeladim. I still remember his name, though.

Well, it's official. I got sensory overload from work. I've been sleeping most of the day, I've still got a minor migraine, and I'm shaky for no good reason. Reading and crafting both tire me out. I'm like, "Really, Tam? Even on a job you like? Seriously?"

{{more hugs}} tam

i love reading and crafting.

I'm on the computer or on the phone with clients all week that when the weekend comes and i get time to read, I just konk out after 10 minutes.
