You blink sympathetically. It is unclear whether the woman in green notices.

She sniffles again. An infection?

You check her forehead temperature. She is not feverish.

> ask whether she is sniffling because of allergies or because of crying

“You sound congested,” you say. “Do you perhaps have allergies? Are you crying?”

“I... I'm not crying right now,” she says.

A clever evasion. But you will not be fooled.

“Were you crying earlier?” you ask.

The woman buries her face in her arms and nods. “Yes,” she mumbles. “I was. I've been having a really awful day and I got sad. Is that so bad? Even adventurers in books get sad sometimes.”

Ah. It seems she feels ashamed for crying.

“It is not bad,” you reassure her. Thinking back to the lessons Master taught you in your youth, you continue: “There is no shame in having strong emotions. It is only our response to such emotions that ought be judged.”

The woman nods slowly. “I guess...”

“Did your strong emotions cause the maiming of innocents?” you ask.

“What!? No...”

“Did they cause you to disrupt a master artisan deep in thought?”

“Uh...” She blinks. “I don't think so...?”

“Then do not feel bad for crying,” you say.

She parts her lips as if to say something, but no sound escapes them. Instead, tears well up in her eyes.

A minute later, she begins to sob freely.

After a while, the woman looks up at you.

“I'm sorry,” she says. “I'm just complaining and complaining and... What about you? Are you okay? How are you?”

LMAO THE "WOAH HEY" FROM MARCILLE HAPPY LESBIAN VISIBILITY WEEK

the notes on that last poll are insane there was someone who said they separate fics into "porn" and "story" and they didnt stop for a second to think that sex in and of itself might be a story??? the way some of you people trivialize sex and explicit art is fucking bonkers to me. you sound like a christian when you act like sex cheapens art or like art focusing on sex is a completely separate category from non-sexual art. explicit fics, yes even pwp (which i believe is a misnomer anyways), are telling stories and they're stories worth telling because sex is normal and healthy and deeply important to many of us. just because something gets you off doesn't mean it's cheap or meaningless. i'd argue that things that engage the viewer sexually are very meaningful because human sexuality is complex and beautiful and worth sharing and exploring. Grow up and read about the guys you like sucking eachother off

today in art class i took my phone out for like 2 seconds to just check the time and my battery percent and my beloved art teacher, who just happened to notice the sonic the hedgehog shirt i was wearing, yelled “SONIC, PUT THE PHONE AWAY” ajd i swear those five words hit me like a speeding truck on a highway i was unable to paint right for the rest of class because i was still reeling in from the shock

the "Sorry, Father..." filled with emotion as the children betray her with their final double attack powerful blow, followed by Arlecchino's "For what? That pathetic excuse of an attack?" as she effortlessly blocks both their weapons had me SCREAMING. This is the exact kinda shit I want in the anime
