I'm in a bit of a mood. I'm petty and bitter about everything, including myself, even if no one knows it. (This is, like, the world's most exhausting masking effort, guys.) I am the worst. I'm so tired of me.     I'm also tired of everyone else, except for wonderful people, who shouldn't speak (in case I decide they're not wonderful) and to whom I shouldn't speak (in case they realize I'm not).   I'm therefore holding today's autumnal coziness coffeeshop meeting in the dark Victorian Gothic witch cafe with lots of rain and plenty of people we don't have to talk to who are minding their own business, providing us with hot drinks, and not judging us for being the problem or making us actually be us right now.   Radical self-acceptance of being the worst is the theme of the day. Yeah, I'm the worst, so what? Not my problem. Not your problem. It changes nothing. We're going to get a goddamn coffee and sit in a goddamn aesthetic coffeeshop and feel some goddamn coziness and be the goddamn worst and not make a goddamn problem out of it.   (In the interests of being social, I'd like to extend this invitation particularly to other people who might appreciate a short period of letting themselves be awful or the problem in a dark gothic witch coffeeshop, like @Rhovaniel, @Sovalis, and, guessing from how long since she's been seen in these parts, @Scaly Freak.)   And I might write a Masquerades of Spring review.

I KNOW. (Though I suppose it's good to think that even villains are human - at least, the ones that are human - and have days when the ambition of their plans and lack of other responsible adults is overwhelming. It can't be easy, having to do everything yourself because your underlings are so incompetent or your plans so objectionable to conventional morality.)   Anyway. Yes. I'm also feeling uninspired. And tired of myself. And just... perpetually unsatisfied. This is incorrect, and the universe has made a mistake.
