If Apollo 13 happened today they would have died because the CO2 filters would be proprietary with SpaceX brand lockout chips that prevent you from plugging one into the other.

trying to write actual smut but i'm too ace for the ace activity of raunchy fanfiction

feel like i'm just edging the potential reader until i figure out how to completely sideline the foreplay into something stupid and action packed and completely unrelated

I realize many people might not know what I referred to in my last post, listing ‘sonorous rocks’ as an instrument, so here’s a cool music video that shows what I’m talking about!

Struggling against my immutable character (generally quiet and comfortable alone) because I want to be a little social butterfly but can't quite manage it and don't have the will for it all the time. Frustrating.

See Batcat actually has the soulmatism/obsessed with each other/two halves of one heart’ thing that batj*kes shippers think they have going on and it’s very obvious when they try to compare the two lol

Can you people hate him for legitimate reasons rather than stupid shit whose evidence you need to look at a certain angle and only just a still image of it?

What the fuck? Are there seriously no better things you can hate him for?

Everyone that is saying “Oh that was a Roman salute!” They are a Nazi too, They just don’t want to be outed as one yet, but they’re Nazi, every single one of them.

We all saw it and we all know what it was.

yeah uhh... silas doesn't really understand what is embarassing

[blushedfemmes]

… hm

[goethefaustworld]

I do wonder if people are being deliberately obtuse...

Like, he very clearly didn't make a Nazi salute. This is just ridiculous! Nothing about how he stands implies he's doing one! And yet we have to ignore everything but his arm and come to the conclusion that he's doing a Nazi gesture

And these are the people who don't really care about the Jewish! At all! The last year and something showed that already!

But they never remember. Always chasing the trendy political stance, never caring they condemned it to hell just last week...

USA... Elon Musk just did the sieg heil (nazi salut to Hitler)

Now that I'm thinking about that video criticizing C3, I think a much more valid criticism of Campaign 3 is how disconnected the characters are from political institutions. Orym is the only one with any such connections going into the story, and his are a very specific and limited situation. Chetney is intelligent, but he's also been a loner and isn't from Marquet. This is in fact a very political story - international cooperation from many disparate nations to address a global threat, a violent cult deliberately fomenting unrest, one key figure in that cult ruthlessly using the resources of the Dwendalian Empire (and earlier, Molaesmyr) to pursue these goals, another key figure a former war hero - and yet no one in the party knows shit. I am bringing up Campaign 2 not so much to bemoan that this is not a repeat campaign - I don't in fact want that - so much as that it's a very good illustrative example, but that was also an extremely political story and it was one that succeeded because there were characters like Caleb and Beau who were both knowledgeable about and deeply invested in the outcome, and tied to the institutions involved. The same can frankly be said about Vox Machina. I think if this campaign had leaned into those political aspects instead of having a group that's largely apolitical and to be honest ignorant even of very recent history they lived through, that would have helped both with the sense of party agency and with the sense of stakes and consequences. Political stakes in actual play are incredibly popular - again, see both the previous two campaigns as well as Dimension 20 and Worlds Beyond Number (and, for all its faults, RQG) - and it feels like Bells Hells is often avoiding them.
