A Ray of Sunshine in the Form of 21 Fuzzy Feline Funnies (November 13, 2025)
Are your teeth chattering from all the cold weather you've been having? If they are, we have some heartwarming feline funnies to warm you up in a way fuzzy socks can't!
In the most purrfect way, the cold weather can be… oppressive. When we want to go outside, we have to make like a feline and put some furry clothing all over our bodies, and even then, we are still chilled to the bone. There are some people who simply can't stand the cold… Are you one of them?
If you are, you probably know all of the different ways to remedy your chilliness. Hand warmers, mittens, and thick scarves are great for the low-temperature windchill, but they don't do wonders like a warm cup of hot cocoa or a dose of wholesome happiness does…
Even though the sun sets at 4:30 PM now, we shouldn't have a deficit of vitamin D. Sunshine exists in many forms, and taking a D supplement is a great place to start. But the happiness—that warmth—you receive from a ray of sunshine cannot be replicated… Unless you're browsing cat memes, that feel like a toasty hug. If you're looking for warmth, look no further!

Otome Dump
Today I present to you all: a bunch of links. I've been writing and writing on my blog, and it's finally occurred to me I should share some of it in a place where the right audience is more likely to see.
First of all, if you like fanifestos I wrote one for Angelique, the first otome game ever and its sequels. I spent a long time on it, so it'd be nice if it got more eyes on it. (I need to update the fansite too... But I think I'd make another post here when that's ready, if that's okay.)
At the final heart-shaped bullet point in this post full of links I talk about an R18 simulation-RPG-VN-wombo-combo otome game, that'll be dropping next year by an (indie??) dev group. I find it super interesting, so I want to get the news out there. There's also a follow-up post where I share that the game will be getting an English translation, and more info surrounding that.
( 2 more paragraphs )
After today I'm ready to go harvest some grave dirt
I head to the BMV because they've cheaped out on the plastic and my handicap tag shattered like a porcelain tea cup kissing the floor. Getting a new one was easy. I went to the coffee shop but had so much b.s. to deal with I don't even get much writing done. At least CVS hasn't fucked up for once and as I'm getting my needles and pills, the BMV calls me to tell me they didn't give me all the paperwork and I need to come back.
They are SO lucky that they caught me before I was 25 miles away back at the school. I go back and the same woman waits on me. She blinks at me and seems unable to comprehend why I'm there (or that I was there before to the point I wonder what she's high on) Someone else walks over to save her and gives me the paperwork.
Now I'm nearly late racing to the university because the student who has stood me up FOUR times already with no explanation is supposed to be there on my day off to make up the lab exam. She shows and then I go into my meeting.
I haven't mentioned that there has been so much shit at work with fucked up schedules. This meeting is on fire. A couple of us got yelled at (me included) to calm down. But dudes you put two of my classes at the same time and you have 30 students (not including the 24 in my class) we can't even find a time for and you're telling me you haven't changed your major so it's OUR fault. Dudes this is the first time in SIX years you've taken both sections of A&P so don't give me that shit. You didn't look at the schedules we've given you. And please remember that we have to work around all the OTHER biology classes because we have two labs that can hold this many people and oh by the way the last time we had nursing, rad tech, ultrasound and resp therapy, sports and exercise ALL taking both sections of A&P we had a THIRD instructor. Me and DM are the only two left (and one of us is 72) you are killing us.
So in this one of the academic coaches is at my door. I put him off and he returns at the end with my research student who is 1 class short of graduation. We sit down with the biology coordinator and try to figure this out. The only solution? Me offering my online class so now I have two online classes, three face to face classes and two separate research students.
RIP my sanity and my free time (If you think I'm slow commenting now....)
I was SO looking forward to my youtooz monitor buddies of my boys (points down to top pairing) They took forever to ship and they're here Look they're cute here. ANNNNNDDDDD, they don't fit on my desk top monitor. They don't fit on my lap top monitor. WTF are they supposed to fit on? They're so top heavy. At this point I'm wondering can I make a little bar for them and sit them on stools? Way to piss away your money. I should have bought that sticker at the Monster Mash with a possum saying Breadwinner? Ha, I'm the bread loser.

[Song] Zero by Naoki
VSynth(s) Featured: Gackpoid
Warnings: The lyrics are pretty steamy! The English ones are in the description.
Link: https://youtu.be/XRGfzTgg5zM?si=UcAWgPBatjF-36kP
Reccer’s Note: (While trying to figure out what I'm supposed to call this Vocaloid non-casually, I decided to just use what's on his box, which is Gackpoid. Interesting choice! But anyways,) This song is pretty old, 13 years old to be exact, but I only discovered it 3 months ago. I listened to it on loop all day and then forgot about it until trying to decide which, of all the vsynth songs I know, I should share today. I settled on this one because it was another Gakupo song that made me want to post in here :) And I think this song isn't so popular, so it'll be new to people. The drums, the electronic sounds, the incredibly dramatic piano, the way Gakupo almost always sounds a little strange... It's so nostalgic even if it's new to me. I think it hits all the notes of an edgy or "mature" Vocaloid song from years past.
(no subject)
To Embers We Return continues to be really good and I'm really loving Dragon Subjugation Incantation (both translations updated recently)!
My copy of The Beauty's Blade also arrived yesterday! When I'd checked the tracking number a few days ago the ETA was the 17th, so it was a nice surprise. It looks like it's been selling well from various retailers' best seller subgenre charts, so hopefully they'll be publisher interest in licensing more.
I've also started volume 1 of Thrice Married to a Salted Fish. I like it so far, but I feel like QJJ has spoiled me a bit w/r/t female characters in danmei novels.
SOTD: Kiiras, "Bang Bang"
I was watching a couple of YouTube videos tonight when I happened to notice a new song from Kiiras in the sidebar, released less than 30 minutes ago at that time (33 minutes ago as I write this). I had loved Kiiras' debut song, Kill Ma Bo$$, because who wouldn't love a K-pop take on country music, so I jumped in and listed to this one right away. I loved it, was the 249th person to click "Like," and then came right over here to share it with all of you.
ETA: I didn't notice this until A. pointed it out to me (which I was rather embarrassed by): Their name is the "Hangul-ization" of the English word "Killers."

'Oooh, kitty got claws!': Catty Cat Posts for Cat Parents of Pawdorable Trouble Makers
Listen, we know cats are cute and wholesome and some of the most affectionate creatures you will ever meet no matter what anybody else says! We have feline friends who love to cuddle and I would trust with my life. That being said… Yes, there are also many devious cats out there (coughORANGECATScough) that love to cause problems. Nothing serious, just problems enough for you to know who is actually in charge.
And guess what? We love them just the same! Yep, that's right, we love all cats, even the troublemakers. In fact, we might like them even more. What is life without stirring up a little trouble? Where is the excitement?! The drama! We need a little spice in our life, and that is why sometimes you need an orange cat, I mean, any cat with a personality. We understand if you aren't in the position to be a cat mom yet, especially to one that mirrors your baddie tendencies. So let us scroll and admire the ones that are already online famous. We love a good silly kitty troublemaker post. Helps us get through the day.
