there are a lot of people on this website who are incredibly, flamboyantly wrong about things, but theyre also like……clearly in gigantic amounts of pain, and arguing with them on the internet isnt going to change the situation of either their wrongness or their pain

Thinking about how when my oldest brother took Japanese classes his professor was like your pronunciation is really good 😊 but you need to watch movies that aren't about the Yakuza because you sound like a criminal

In spite of the class’s vaguely Christian trappings, the Dungeons & Dragons cleric is not particularly anachronistic in this respect; throughout the history of Western Europe, most magical practitioners were also devout Christians, and indeed, any given community’s foremost practitioner of traditional folk magic was likely to be the village priest.

They were not, of course, supposed to be doing this, and they’d get yelled at by their superiors in the Church whenever they were caught doing it, but typically no harsher measures would be taken, because literate people were hard to replace. For their part, such priests tended to regard their practice of magic as wholly compatible with the Christian faith, and generally viewed the admonitions of their superiors as the grumbling of out-of-touch hierarchs who didn’t understand the situation on the ground.

I bring this up not because D&D characters are obliged to be in any way historically accurate, of course, but because it highlights a rarely taken and very entertaining approach to characterising your cleric. Folks tend to gravitate to playing clerics as either stick-in-the-mud doctrinaires or edgy mavericks; the third option, as suggested by the above, is to play your cleric as perfectly secure in their faith in a way that happens to be moderately heretical, responding to the corrections of their superiors by going “sure thing, boss”, then proceeding to ignore them completely as soon as they’re out of earshot.

There are memorable and funny advertisements (I know this sounds fake) but honestly they're so few and far between that if all advertisements disappeared forever and were banned from human consciousness or whatever the net gain would be so staggering it would be completely worth it

Bakool Ja Ja drives a Toyota Hilux. It is best to absolute shit, but it is still the nicest truck that anyone in his rural as fuck hometown has. He loves to rev it up for no goddamn reason just because he likes to, and doesn’t understand how much of an asshole this makes him. I won’t say he takes great care of it, but it’s a Hilux, it doesn’t matter, it’s the Nokia of cars.

Koana, shamefully, owned a Cybertruck. He quietly sold it off for a loss and bought a Ford Lightning. Wuk Lamat sometimes asks him what happened to the block truck because she found it kind of endearing, and Koana just kind of noncommitally mumbles and changes the subject.

Zoraal Ja drives a Ford Raptor. It has all of the upgrades, and is lifted for practical reasons, because Zoraal Ja actually does do Truck Stuff with it, because that is what trucks are for.

Wuk Lamat drives a Kei truck, because it’s cute, but also because it does everything it needs to, and is better suited for Tuliyollal’s tighter streets than the others. She is The Friend With A Truck to pretty much everyone in town, she has helped so many people move and do other Truck Tasks.||

erenville is so funny to me. everything about his backstory wants him to be a protagonist but he's so effortlessly normal that it just never happens. he worked for the secret government space-ark of noah project. he's childhood friends with the princess of unified continental america. his mother was essentially one of the american warriors of light and told him to find the legendary golden city that nobody ever returns from. his hometown got swallowed by the tokusatsu dimension and that same mother died as part of an underground resistance movement in the tokusatsu dimension but persists as a cyberghost. erenville is normal though. he's a guy with a job and he never learned how to fight. his special skill is being a completely regular wildlife expert and he is far too employed for any of this high stakes sweeping epic business.

Here’s Miyuki, a runaway Ishgardian noblewoman. Her real name is Blanchelle de Laurelle Aucard Calciaux, and she took up the name to be sure that she would not be found.

I'm stuck in bed trying not to get depressed from pain, so if you see this PLEASE reblog with screenshots of your FFXIV character(s) and tell me a fun fact about them!! Can be anything, whether it's something about their story or background, or their favorite food, or which NPC they would fight first given the option. Anything goes! Bless my eyes!
