Always important to remember: the idea that in the past that people only lived until 40 is—outside of plague and famine times—simply false, an adult living in a stable community was by and large as capable of living into some kind of old age, maybe a decade younger than more of us might now expect. But the average life expectancy rate is always low for the past because the infant and child mortality rate is so incredibly high it warps the stats.

I realize "that's just X" is the worst form of internet response, but hard to shake the idea that that's essentially Oblivion. The main quest is so poorly integrated into anything else that's happening that you can go off and play the entire rest of the game and barely miss it. The only thing you don't get is the formal 'the end' main quest ending credits... which Oblivion may or may not even have had, only beat that dumb main quest once.
RPG that does the "we only have 37 seconds to save the world!" thing but has no explicit mechanics for the passage of time (as one does), except if you progress through the game without completing even a single sidequest, there's a secret ending where you show up early for the obligatory act-one fakeout boss, successfully prevent the baddie from blowing up the world, and the whole second act doesn't happen.

I've been busier lately but I still wanted to find even a little time to draw something for Annie's 14th year! It's a little late and rough but that's fine, I had fun✨

There's the good and evil shoulder angels from the Black & White games, who are male-coded, arguably fairies, and incredibility irritating, but I don't feel like I could count them as brats, so I want to ask for the purposes of clarification where does just plain 'aggravating' stop and true 'brattitude' begin?
I recognise that this may be a controversial opinion on the "everything is better when girls" website, but I feel like making the action-adventure game protagonist's obligatory tutorial/exposition-providing bratty little fairy companion a boy is underexplored territory.

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.

Oh you were using an analogy—you had me dreading what kind of goddamn Lemonade Stand Sexyobject I apparently was going to have to learn about against my will. I expected it to A) be generic as hell while B) still kind of hauntingly looking like the Onceler.
I’m asexual in a way that I observe what people find to be desirable or attractive and generally just have a checklist in my head about how most people’s attraction works and even though the way tumblr does sex and attraction is just as unappealing to me as the mainstream I can tell you all with confidence that some of the things you find to be mainstream or conventionally attractive are very much not
