        for those not in the know: Susugu Mitarai, known as “Laundry Hero: Wash”, is the number 8 Pro Hero in My Hero Academia, and dresses like an anthropomorphic washing machine. It is unclear how much he looks like a washing machine out of the costume.

        Excellent lyrics, but I have one note. you’d have to pronounce “Joe” with two syllables to make it scan. I’d make it “Joseph.”

          You don’t HAVE to, you can just drop the second syllable. It was already 2 syllables within a beat, it just worked for the tone of the song, but imo it’s fine with just the one. Duh duh-duh DUH, rather than duh-duh-duh-duh DUH. It’s harder to convey in text what I mean than I predicted.

          Not sure how it is for sex shops, but for most retail the shoplifting numbers seem like a lot until you actually compare them to sails, probably higher for smaller shops, but the average loss is like 0.01% of gross product (and even that’s inflated by the outlier of designer fashion shoplifting, which is apparently like 30% of all shoplifting losses, which makes sense since it’s expensive, conveniently sized, and relatively easy to fence).

        July 28, 2023 at 7:28 am | #

        No, she wanted Joyce to stimulate herself with something other than sex with Joe rather than just make her own decisions and mistakes, as in her need for control she feels she needs to fix everything.

        Dorothy wanted to fix Joyce, of her attraction to Joe, by making her cum. Dorothy wanted to not feel like a failure, after a week or so of not living up to the inflated image of herself. Dorothy wanted to hurt Joe.

        Joyce has an actual problem, a crippling shame reflex when she gets horny or when other people know she gets horny. Joyce not having a “release valve” was secondary to that.

          Only thing I disagree with that is wanting to hurt Joe, because to her Joe isn’t even a person, she sees him as an obstacle to Joyce’s supposed well being.

      It’ll probably spell the end for poor Joe. I feel like once she gets past the guilt and the first time fears Joyce is going to be a legitimate man-eater. Joe is going to have his work cut out for him.

      Fortunately, this version of Joyce does not have super-strength.

        You do not need superstrength to demolish a bed! I think the only one that survived my now-husband and me was the single we first shared and we only lived there together for about 6 weeks, 2 months. Like, at one point, we ended up with a grid of IKEA tables cable-tied together on the basis that might distribute the weight better – or at least when one unit went, it would be easy to replace it. Units were replaced. Real beds had bits of wood added, things underneath them to prop them up… Our current one is a lift-up storage one and is basically being supported by the contents. It’s a pain when I want to get anything out of it, as the frame supporting the slats has come apart a bit, so it doesn’t all want to lift up smoothly and the slats won’t stay in.

        This was after e.g. after the bed that had the legs bend after less than a week, we had the replacement on rug grip stuff as the shop advised that, despite the advertising pic, it wasn’t suitable for use on laminate flooring. That extended the life a bit…

        I do think our situation isn’t helped by the fact that the 8 year old is the only one to date who has learnt that the bed isn’t for jumping on (5 year old and 3 year old frequently look at me blankly when I tell them this) – but this has been an issue for about 18 years now…

          And here I thought beds were literally designed with the assumption people would be having intense, wall slamming sex on them. Like y’know…as a safety net for the mundane normal sex most people have.

      My prediction is Concerned! Joe is going to go check on her and catch her in the laundry room.

      Question is, if he’ll walk in calling her name, and she’ll know she’s caught, or if he’ll just use his eyes to look, realise what he’s seeing before getting her attention, and leave her to it, secure in the knowledge she currently doesn’t want to be alone with him because SHE IS INCREDIBLY HORNY. Also, probably feeling guilty for intruding on her private time (in a public place but for somebody with her issues, Joyce does not seem to have figured out the problem with this), flattered and aroused himself, and with a few questions. I wonder if he’ll ask Sarah, and work out Dorothy taught Joyce to masturbate thinking she was too horny around Joe to accurately assess him as a poor potential partner…
