Why I Dislike the Royal Pop

(and it’s incestuous cousins)

Yes, this is a hater post. So what? I’m allowed to hate the Royal Pop, just like you are allowed to inexplicably love it.

Why do I hate it?

First off, it’s plastic. It’s designed to not be durable; to not last. In a world that is growing ever more lenient of the disposable and temporary (which apparently includes people), do we really need another god-damned knick knack destined to end up in a land fill?

Second, it’s an expensive piece of plastic shit. $400/$420 for these bag charms? You can find and buy multiple watches made out of actual metal for the same price. Actual metal watches that will potentially last decades and generations. But I guess the rich need something to waste all the money on that they refuse to pay employees or in taxes after already being able to actually afford a $20,000 Daytona they’ll rarely use to it’s full potential. Not fake afford, actually afford.

Third, last & most importantly, to me; Swatch seems to be going all in on the plastification (it is TOO a word! 😉) of their watches and brand, and even other brands! It feels like they don’t care that they are allowing Omega to rot faster than the organic material surrounding their disposable watches in the world’s landfills. By devoting money, design effort & resources to these bIOceRaMiC Happy Meal toy abominations of watches, they are just killing off an iconic brand. Is it any coincidence that Omega has slipped to third in the Morgan Stanley report behind Cartier after the introduction of the MoonSwatch & just before the Swatch x AP collab? I think not!

Comment or not. Makes no difference. Too many people are too distracted by the hype machine to actually think past the end of their fucking noses. Keep telling the Emperor his non-existent clothes are great, folks. Are watches THAT boring to you that you go ape shit over a little color? Or are people just that uneducated about watches to think these are worthy of the hype?

Good morning! Today is laundry day for me. That’s usually 3 days out of the week. 🤣

Wishing you all a whimsical Wednesday filled with only good things, safety, high energy and positivity. Be kind to yourself and those around you, hug tight those you love most and smile, you make this world a beautiful place when you do. 🤗🫶❤️🫂 #GoodMorning #Positivity #WhimsicalWednesday

Good morning! I didn’t sleep well last night so will relax today and nap.

After collecting preliminary feedback, it seems that I should definitely add more #GooglyEyes to increase the amount of #BiblicallyAccurate levels for this #MagicWand

I particularly enjoy how they sort of get all soft-focus at baseline and then if I use the "wave" or "breathing" pattern, they sort of have a special moment at the low of the wave.

Did you know that the magic wand is not waterproof? They only released a waterproof one in 2025! Apparently, it's great for aquatic use, but can't be used while plugged in, which I suppose makes sense, and is not quite as resonant (because of how liquids change echoes).

Since usage while plugged-in (battery bypass) was preferred, and the resonance (rumbliness) is kind of an important factor for me, and the fact that the waterproof one is more expensive, all led to choose the "Rechargeable" one. Ultimately it makes cleaning it a bit annoying, but still workable.

The silicone on the head is the weird kind. You know, the one that has a sort of texture and attracts lint like a magnet? That kind. But at least it's silicone.

The head of the Magic Wand is also wider, and notably not angled. The neck is flexible but stiff (good thing). The wider surface area has its own pros and cons depending on body shape, bits and pieces, mood, etc.

There are only 4 speed modes, no incremental adjustments, and 4 patterns. The buttons can be tricky to find when you're blindly fumbling for them in a stupor. Strategically placed boobly eyes can come in quite useful in that scenario.

The battery can last for hours! Which is good for someone like me (difficult case) but you might have to push a button occasionally to keep it from timing out and doing its auto-shutoff.

Also, if you're like me and tend to have significant time gaps in between such adventures, make sure to use plenty of lube, moisturize extra and do some self-aftercare to minimize roughing up skin/tissues/etc. This goes for any toy, really.

I will be taking questions if you have them, and am open to requests provided you are willing to wait an unknown amount of time for me to fulfill said requests

One of the recent experiments I did with @xYourEmoGFx was to measure the effect of different electric pulse patterns for leash training. The TENS pads are out of frame, but you can see the button hooked into the rope leash. When there's tension on the line, the pattern changes and the power increases until tension is released.   

This session was also used as a small training instance for a burgeoning scene top who learned a few things including how to draw the expression they were seeing. Also, how much force it takes for a riding crop to leave marks on the skin of this specimen. 👩🏽‍🔬

I decided that I should probably have a variant of my last #NotSafeFromWhimsy post where I'm wearing more clothes. I can't know the reasoning that my brain does, but I also am not going to miss the opportunity to share the cuteness going on here.

#FitCheck wise, the flannel and tank/crop is still going strong, but generally layered under a fuzzy hoodie even indoors because it's a bit chilly in Michigan

I think it's funnier if I just add little to no context as to what is going on. Y'all should tell me instead!

If I stay on top of keeping the soap dispensers in my house topped up, does this count as service topping?

How old does one have to be to classify as among "The Old Ones" in order to start overthrowing The Great Old Ones?

Asking for a friend, of course.
