So there’s something for most of these other than two which is pretty good. The podcasts fell off cause Hyacinth Disaster was pretty depressing (and Night Vale seemed to be going the same). I had considered going back to the Penumbra podcast, but got distracted.

I was gonna watch Willy’s Wonderland on shudder but got sidetracked (I was going to this week but between tiredness and zoning out I didn’t, damnit.)

Plus QSMP has been kinda a distraction.

But hey, I managed a fic!

The April AMA starts now with the first question from turps which was this appropriate question: Do you like April Fools Day?

April fools day is a day I don’t really ‘get’ because it’s a day where you spend it tricking people and you can’t believe anything you see. I’ve not been particularly good at it and kinda feel it gets mean spirited.

Plus I’ve never been good at coming up with such tricks anyway, so I’ve never seen the appeal really.

I think it doesn’t really help in the current climate where people are prone to lying and feeling cruel anyway. I just feel that it’s not needed

-

I had hoped to do things today but I didn’t really, oops. Though I did start two games for an achievement (I can see myself going back to both, especially the second, Contrast which seems to be short and clever puzzling).

I think my mind has been partially distracted by Hasan’s bloody photoshoot which is hot for no reason (even though I wouldn’t call myself a Hasan guy)

There was James Marriott’s stream early which was a smash or pass which can get so cursed. What I didn’t expect is his response to someone sending in Hannibal to become extremely cannibalistic (unexpectedly followed up with Death from Puss In Boots) and it’s just… the most unhinged I’ve seen him (and that’s saying something). It’ll be stuck in my head a long time (and of course there’s no clips, bah).

It would seem Lost In Time has been ‘sorted’ when I had a quick shower. I saw ‘sorted’ as it’s got to where I was in the main game…. But it didn’t restore some things I won from events. And it also reset my progress so far in this current event (especially annoying due to being out tomorrow). So it’s fixed something but caused issues, ugh.

if you have the time stamps I can clip for you if you want

I never found April fools day fun 😭 if anything it’s stressful

[shadowhive]

Oh yay! The first time was about 10 minutes in the second was about ten minutes after that? But I’m not sure cause the videos are sub only until the vod gets uploaded😭

Yeah SAME! I’m glad being out meant avoiding it

[turlough]

You wrote, go you!! *waves celebratory pompoms*

I've never been very fond of April Fool's Day either. Luckily it seems to have become much less popular here in Sweden.

[shadowhive]

Aww thank! Hopefully I can get in sync to write more

Oh that’s good it’s not popular there! I could never get along with it at all

[turps]

April Fools Day isn't for me either. I don't mind the stupid jokes, for example, I liked the spaghetti growing on trees from years ago. But so often the jokes are mean and humiliate people. Like, I was reading about someone being given what was supposed to be a winning scratch ticket, like, a lot of money winning. If I thought I'd won that and realised someone was joking I'd have been upset.

[shadowhive]

Yeah I think it’s very easy for such things to go into the mean territory (or to get peoples hopes up for a fake thing) oh no that’s so mean!

I think the only good one I saw this time was a twitter that posts hourly pictures of one of my streamers instead posted other ones instead for the day
