Coming out of depression is so weird because I haven't been un-depressed since I was 13 or something and the only un-depressed thought patterns I remember how to do are childish ones.

I think what I noticed there is I'm reacting to fiction like somebody whose positive emotions aren't some "muffled tin can broken walkie-talkie from too far away" shit. I'm not used to that, so instead of going "hm, interesting artistic decisions!" it's more like DGHKSFGJFDKH BLORBO I WILL HOLD AND PROTECT AAAAAAA.

You and I are like the same person, this is the second post of yours that elucidates how I feel about things in a way I was never able to actually describe (the other one being the one I shared about the debrainworming effect of having international friends)

Uh to actually be on topic though, yes this is why I still make characters that are pokemon even though I'm old enough to be taking care of a ten year old right now. Desperate attempts to recapture happiness in the form of making characters whose lives are actually interesting. I need to get around to actually watching Murder Drones

It's actually kind-of dumb, but very fun. This puts it in a basket with other dumb-but-fun things like JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Sam Raimi Spiderman and boomershooters so honestly making something fucking stupid that's a blast has a good track record.

However, I must warn you: It's got lots of obnoxious Borderlands-style Joss-Whedon-style humor. I like it in spite of that, not because of that.

It's impressive to be able to care for a kid. Even if I wasn't trans I'm too disorganized to manage another human being's life, let alone development. kudos for having it together enough to do that

Still sounds worth the time to watch, I don't remember where I first heard about Murder Drones in the first place. My brain is saying "A Patricia Taxxon video" but I'm not sure

(Also that was a self-jab about my age, I don't have a child; I'm 34, and if I was doing "right by America" or whatever the hell you want to call the traditional values pipeline at this point, my firstborn kid would probably be 10ish by now. I do have a cat though and I love her very much but she's a lot easier than another person lol)
