"Denial is a seductive mistress. And she's in my bed every night" has to be a great way to introduce the idea of being aromantic to people, so thanks for that!
i think one of the first times i realized i was aro(while immediately denying it) was when, a few years ago, a friend of mine kept hinting that she was poly and that she dates people other than her bf all the time. and she’s very flirty, literally with everyone, so i didn’t really think anything of it, until she started hinting at dating me.
and even though i was flattered and she’s great, like, dating her romantically would probs be amazing, i felt a little grossed about it. not by her. just the thought of dating with romantic intent. and so i played oblivious and pretended i didn’t hear any implications in what she was saying.
it surprised me at the time, bc here is someone i’m friends with, who’s funny and cute and very romantic if her bf has any say, and obviously attracted to me and was willing to date me, or at least fuck tbh, and all i could think about was how i needed to change the convo right now.
denial is a seductive mistress. and she’s in my bed every night.
I would do it for free
would u trust him for one dollar
Language is cool
I still can't get over the fact that "deli" is short for "delicatessen"
There are a fair few faux feminist statements I hate, but “We are the daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn” is one of them.
it all makes sense now
I love that Shovel Knight's actual, canonical answer to "why are King Knight and Spectre Knight the two easiest bosses in the main game when they're such badasses in their own campaigns" is that they're both clinically depressed when you fight them.
I agree this shit is cool
masks and helmets that hides someone's face in such a way that they become the face themselves my beloved
these are all creatures to me
Where's the juice tho?
Hm, I was pondering about the recent-ish trope of Adventuring Guilds (effectively trade unions for protagonists in fantasy rpg-inspired settings, which I’m sure I’ve seen in a bunch of things but the main example that springs to mind is Goblin Slayer to my annoyance but the Hero Association in One Punch Man has a similar albeit superhero-slanted deal), and how mechanically in the setting they exist to ensure x reward is provided for x amount of work/danger involved but in a meta sense are there so the characters don’t have to go looking for heroing gigs on ye olde Craigs Lyst or something.
It’s an interesting idea, similar in a manner to the many fantasy trope-tinged guilds in the Discworld novels of the late great Terry Pratchett, although an amusing idea occurred to me with the idea of trade unions for fantasy heroes.
Like, if there are unions to ensure employment and fair pay for folks clearing out dungeons, getting gnolls out the cabbage patch, stopping gnomes from going through your bins, and so on, then, logically, there much exist fantasy hero scab workers as well.
Folks that the local king or something brings in for lower pay on more dangerous jobs. Folks who are, say, completely new to the setting, out of their depth, and are thrust into a dangerous situation by a seemingly benevolent authority figure because said authority figure is too cheap to hire someone who understands the risks involved and asks more suitable wages for the role…
Y’know…
I have been thinking about this, fish soup is ironic, what do I mean by that? A fish lives in water right? And we take them out of water only to put there carcass in slightly warmer, tastier water
Fun fact: Cats rubbing themselves on u means they like u, so yes this is what I want
The allos don’t get it when I’m like, “attracted” to someone, cause they’re just like “oh, a crush” NO. ITS DIFFERENT I don’t want to kiss them or smth they just have good vibes so I want to rub up against them like a cat
