Aw, thank you anon! I’m so glad that I, a goblin, somehow tricked you into thinking I was cool.

Controversial opinion, but ur allowed to like things that suck

Like, sometimes there are just shows or books that are so goddamn awful for any number of reasons… But ya still like ‘em somehow, and that’s fine

It’s not required to write a 20+ page essay defending why you enjoy something shitty, you can just… Enjoy shitty things

Not all content is made equally and you’re allowed to like things that are far from perfect

Like, just, “This show sucks, but I like it anyway” is a totally valid response

“It’s comforting,” is a legit answer.

“I like reading about clothes,” is a legit answer.

“it’s brain popcorn, and I don’t feel like delving into something deep,” is a legit answer.

“I’ve read it so many times I can basically recite it, and it relaxes me by being familiar,” is a legit answer.

You don’t need to justify your taste.  Stop feeling guilty about liking things, or liking the “wrong” things.  Life is hard and bleak right now, get fun where you can.

Thank you! Mostly just happy I wasn’t working while sick and crabby, so I’ll take it. I’m gonna order some crap food tonight and maybe watch a bad movie and call it good~

Aaaa, thank you bro! I appreciate it <3

Anyway all of that delicate “what if pets die!” in light of this text convo with one of my vets, regarding a very sweet, acute renal cat whose prognosis is… guarded.

Zoomed down to the pet store with an hour left on my shift remembering that I hadn’t bought rat food and I am a BAD MOM but thank fuck I have another good tech to cover the floor for this twenty minutes. Anyway, I’m in a rush, but the pet store employee is nice and wants to go into vet tech and is having a serious emotional quandary about how to deal with putting animals to sleep all the time.  Hurry up, hurry up, nice lady, I have to be back on the clock pronto. 

I do actually have a lot of complex and maybe even spiritual emotions about this regarding humane euthanasia and its tennets, but it takes a bit to explain. The body is but a vessel, you’re doing a humane service, it’s painless, etc. I sort of squinted at her (and as I do at everyone who asks this question point blank) and said… you get used to it?

There’s a lot to unpack here, and it’s not over a casual retail interaction, but JEEZ.

I’m sorry, but I was crying with laughter while reading this. 

This is rich.
