Nope. Bisexual and out. She latched on to it as soon as I mentioned that. Super uncomfortable.

Breathes fire lemme at her

Today we have moved on to bandages because it is starting to scab over.

@grayson how expensive are the houses... An I get one for some pocket lint and a handful of skittles?

@greenflashlight yeah, neither image bothers me but finger injury is a pretty common squick for others.

@testament uh... I didn't think to film it, but here; the exposed finger pre-redressing.

ETA: Really, do not click the above link if you are squeamish. The above picture, imo, is worse than the one previously posted. Even if it feels much better, it looks p bad. For real, the nail is gone. And it's a little bloody.

@silverfox I mean I'm just about to change the dressing... Wanna see what it looks like without the nail?

@ganymede it's under the spoiler for a reason

A picture of the offending nail, pre removal.

Yeah I'm at urgent care waiting for a doctor cause it's infected now

How did the trip go?

I feel so much better. They took the nail off completely, and boy does my hand hurt way less. And now I'm on a huge dose of antibiotics... Apparently it's bad when your entire hand is several degrees warmer than the other one.

Thank you for asking.

@greenflashlight I'd also offer internet hugs. I'm sorry.

So, for a treat since it was my birthday recently, a little before said birthday... I went out and got -short- acrylic nails put on. Had them on for three days... Was getting out of my car when I slammed my pinky against my door.

***=Gore.***

Do you have any idea how much you actually use your pinky? It's alot. I -can- type, but it hurts. I -can- hold things, but it either hurts or my grip is terrible. I have my finger wrapped up, of course, while the nail and cuticle and skin heals, but god damn it hurts.

....I'm gonna stop typing now, but I just needed to vent.

Thank you so much to everyone who has filled this out!

I can update the poll later today to add that option.

@sixregrets Gotta work on one game before multiple xD

I'm in love with the story of Unwell -- Which is ... really hard to explain, so I'm just gonna C/P from their website:

Lillian Harper moves to the small town of Mt. Absalom, Ohio, to care for her estranged mother Dorothy after an injury. Living in the town's boarding house which has been run by her family for generations, she discovers conspiracies, ghosts, and a new family in the house's strange assortment of residents.

This show is very LGBTQIA+ friendly. One main character is nonbinary, and another is gay and it's all very naturally done rather than forced. They also open most of their episodes acknowledging indigenous land rights.

This one is ongoing.

Then there is Steal the Stars. This is a Sci-Fi story about forbidden love, from the website:

Steal the Stars is the story of Dakota Prentiss and Matt Salem, two government employees guarding the biggest secret in the world: a crashed UFO. Despite being forbidden to fraternize, Dak and Matt fall in love and decide to escape to a better life on the wings of an incredibly dangerous plan: they’re going to steal the alien body they’ve been guarding and sell the secret of its existence.

This one is finished. It was incredible. Highly recommend. There was mild gore in this one.

If you're a markiplier fan the short The Edge of Sleep is great. This one is another Sci-Fi drama. There is some content warning that needs to be had: murder, assault, attempted sexual assault, and attempted bodily mutilation.

From the website:

When a night watchman finishes his shift at work, he is terrified to discover that everyone in the world who went to sleep the previous night has died. Now he and a band of survivors must stay awake and uncover the secret of this global epidemic, before they fall asleep.

And the anatomical hearts

It seems to me as if they are sharing one that was split down the middle? I don't play this game or know these characters, so I don't know what it represents, but I approve of the imagery.

Single heart, yeah. Mirari (the black cat) gave Sydney (the ginger cat) a weapon with an anatomical heart on it as a gift, while they were lovers. They are ICly broken up at the moment because they want different things. Hence, the ripped down the middle heart.

ermghad, this one is so damned amazing. And the anatomical hearts. aaaauuuugggh.

Updated. Was keeping Andrina quiet but fuckit. I'm bad at hiding.
