This is a bad idea. Your fiancé is finally getting close to you. The crown prince that is obsessed with the original female lead (who became your best friend) is now bothering you because he wants you to fix his awful personality. No. Your fiancé is going to get super jealous. And this crown prince is a jerk. Just drop him off a bridge.

Okay. We have an isekai that originally had a love triangle over a sweet commoner that is also a “saintess”. The isekai’ed person has been placed in the body of one of the two male love interests. Now we have the original female lead and the new female lead holding hands and being “best friends” with the two other parts of the original love triangle looking on in jealousy. Alright. Toss out the boys. Let’s make it a yuri!

I LOVE that I like so many niche and weird things. Gives me a chance to throw out random references to other people’s jokes that they probably had no idea existed.

(This is actually a good game series, if you are a fan of the EDF series or just campy sci-fi mindless action games)

“Please make sure to wear it because I can’t wait to take it off of you.”

Girl. PLEASE lose whatever filter is preventing you from saying things out loud. Your thoughts are amazing and your fiancé “needs” to hear them. It would be so great.

“Is he outside looking like an abandoned puppy?”

You have no idea how much I would give for this character to ask this question out loud to the abandoned pup-*ahem* I mean love interest outside her door.

One. I am pretty sure that the way that sheep were bred has caused it so that they actually need to be sheered constantly or they will have issues. They are also domestic animals and can no longer live on their own in the wild. So we might as well keep them around and keep sheering them since it provides clothing for us and life for them. Besides. Do people complain about dogs and other house pets getting haircuts/groomed? It’s just a haircut.

Two. For leather. I don’t think our population is ever going to give up on eating meat. And if it did, most of those animals are domestic and can’t live in the wild. So. We are going to keep eating meat. And if we keep eating meat, we can either waste everything else from the animal that we don’t use (which is stupid and I feel kind of disrespectful to the animal) or we can use all of it and continue to make leather and other things. I know it’s not the best thing to think about. But the other options are to either throw away the leather or cull the herds of animals that we will no longer be eating and won’t be kept as pets and won’t be able to live on their own. Like. We also couldn’t just release a bunch of animals out into the wild. Especially if there are no natural predators. Just look at what happens in areas with deer and no wolves. The deer overpopulate and destroy everything. Which brings me to deer. We can’t exactly stop hunting deer because we have to keep their population down or the environment and a lot of other things will suffer. Humane or not. This is how life is on our planet and at least right now we do not have a way of stopping it flat out.

As for furs. I don’t really have anything to say since I do not know much about the fur industry.

no but genuinely I lose a little more patience for people who won't wear wool, leather, silk, or fur every day that I live in a world where plastic is increasingly the only damn kind of clothing you can find (or the only kind of fabric for sewing, even)

obviously, animal cruelty is horrible. I believe that even industries that rely on the deaths of animals should make their lives as good and their ends as humane as possible. and many of these industries need tighter environmental regulations on their production practices- some of the chemicals involved are highly toxic and ill-controlled at times

but at some point, you have to wake up to the fact that the only alternative we've found to date is destroying our planet

it's all plastic. and plastic is horrible for the world- the environment, humans, and especially animals. how cruelty-free is it to cause mass habitat loss? or climate change that disrupts food sources for those animals on a vast scale? how is that better than the deaths of a relatively small proportion of animals comparatively?

(and don't even start with "but pineapple leather! but cactus leather!" when those are still basically plastic due to heavy plastics use in their production processes. there is currently no non-plastic alternative to most animal-based textile products)

I've always tried to keep in mind that we all have to decide where our line is, that we all consume and there's no way of living in this world that doesn't take something from it. that for me, plastic clothing is to be avoided as much as possible, and for others, animal clothing products are to be avoided as much as possible. that the choice is equally valid

but I'm having a hard time seeing it as valid anymore when it just feels like trying to push the unpleasant part away from yourself so you can pretend your choice has no negative impacts. you're not wearing animal skin (or wool that an animal didn't even die to produce), so surely your way of doing things is better! no animals were harmed in the making of your outfit!

except. they were.

they and all the rest of us.

What about implied alien sex? Wait. The example I was just about to provide would also be jail worthy. Since it’s not just implied alien sex. It’s implied LESBIAN alien sex. And now I don’t know if I want to say the book because that’s kind of a mild spoiler. But that scene and that relationship was my favorite in that book.

What's really wild is that what I have going on is actually pretty tame by freaky kinkster standards but it's still weird enough for vanilla people to think I'm a sicko

So. I don’t really remember seeing these. Maybe I have seen one like once. But I already know what the are, I know a lot of people like eating them, and I know what I would call them if someone asked me what the shrimp/lobster like creature that lived in rivers that is eaten in a lot of southern cuisine is called. I would call them “crawfish”.

I do see them in plenty of food menus. But I don’t eat them. I don’t eat shrimp or lobster (except for the occasional lobster bisque). So I am not going to eat crawfish. Catfish though? Catfish is good. I like a nice catfish po’ boy.

Google is telling me that it is now a style of chocolate since it is chocolate filled with a kind of pistachio crème. However. Even if you get it from other companies, a very large percentage of chocolate companies use slave labor somewhere.

“When annoying people come at you don’t be so patient. Just get rid of them.”

Um. Are you telling this girl to commit murder? I kind of doubt that this story will go in that direction. But at the same time…

Also. We don’t know if this side character is going to be all nice and sweet or is secretly manipulative and evil deep down. Not yet anyway. Some of these stories like to make this kind of character the villain. I hope not for this one. But I do kind of hope that she makes people disappear but remains super sweet at the same time.

Bullying is crazy... I spent 13 years of my life forced to be at a certain location for 6+ hours almost every day, and at this location multiple of my peers would verbally harass or insult me, physically assault me, sexually harass me, socially ostracize me, every single day, for factors entirely outside of my control. And every adult who was ostensibly supposed to prevent this from happening either willfully ignored it or actively contributed to the bullying. And like, I'm supposed to just brush it off as "just bullying" and something that everyone goes through? Like I was literally in psychological torment camp every day for nearly my entire childhood and now I'm supposed to just function like a human being. Anyways what did you want on your sub. Ham and cheese. No lettuce or mayo..got it okay

[knightoflodis]

What are any of these things? I just looked up what a labubu is. So I guess I kind of know what that is now.

A lot of people in the world are simply not being excellent to each other and I do not know how I am meant to party on, dude, in these conditions
