#i just do not

[destisea-a]

before i really get to writing, and trying to do things here. just wanna say thank you to people who are patient with me, and put up with my nonsense. like i am so slow, and i really don't waste my time with stressing over drama and trying to get things out in a timely manner. don't really feel like i have to make excuses for myself. but like, i'm just here to have a good time and maybe make a couple friends. so thanks a bunch, the rpc has been real kind to me these last few weeks.

Bg3 has made me discover that I much prefer skill checks to dice rolls.

What do you mean you missed?! It was 98% WITH advantage!!

Ah, requirement 10 and I have a +15 there's no wa- CRITICAL FAILURE!?! What do you mean!?

How is your chance of a hit only 40%? The guy is petrified and you are close enough to lick him?!

Having unfollowed a ton of people and put effort into not-hearing as many Dragon Age opinions as possible, I've come to the conclusion that I should've done that a long time ago because wow do I enjoy this broken-ass website without having to hear people talk about the Thedas Wizard Wars like DA is some fucking historical document that's also written specifically to target you, Tumblr User number who-fucking-cares.

I will be continuing this practice going forward, damn.

I’m impressed? Surprised? That Carmen is preserving his brother’s memory by hiding his massive fuckups. I don’t know if I like it or not. I mean, as a character deal within the narrative, we love it, I love all the things it implies about his feelings for his brother, about his own personal pride, etc. But...in real life, what would I think of this? It’s not Carmen’s job to hide. It’s not his job to make his brother look good. He’s making his life harder in doing so. I feel both ways about it! It’s stupid, but rather admirable, in a stupid way.

you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.

I just think everyone should take a moment to consider the question "what is your visual shorthand for cruelty?" and then follow it up with a critical "and who taught you that?"

specific examples include but are not limited to

why is an evil timeline character design disabled? (why do the heroes go through equally punishing battles and never lose an arm, a leg, an eye?)

why are the futuristic scifi terrorists uniformly darker skinned? (why are the heroes so much lighter?)

why is the greedy boss fat? (why are the heroes skinny?)

why is the criminal mastermind heavily scarred? (why is the brooding, traumatized hero unscathed?)

why is the predatory creep a bearded person in a dress and makeup? (why are none of the heroes trans women?)

who taught you that this is how things are?

how long do you plan on repeating it?

Thinking about him (the soldier in Poynter’s Faithful Until Death painting watching an apocalypse unfold around him with horror in his eyes as he tries to keep himself standing beneath a doorway, based on an actual 19th century archeological find of a man in full soldier’s garb under a doorway at Pompeii)

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

the man who owns and runs the thai restaurant in my town knows me by name. he is one of the kindest and most thoughtful men i know. i started ordering from his place back in january, which was when i got my fibromyalgia diagnosis. back then i was using a walker, had limited mobility in my entire body but especially my hands, and was very visibly in pain. i always ordered the same thing: yellow curry with no meat, potatoes and carrots only (i have texture and other dietary issues). he always made it a point to make sure i could get out the door and carry the food safely. he had his workers package the food so that it was easier for me to open. as i kept coming back and i told him a little bit about my health status, he would always encourage me to keep going. he told me about how the spices he used were good for inflammation and began to edit the recipe just for me so that spices that were even better for fighting inflammation were used. he’d give me extra portions and despite the fact that i would tip every time, i realized later that he never charged my card for them. as time went on and my condition began to get better, especially with the help of a physical therapist, he would make encouraging remarks and tell me how happy he was for me. the day i came in without my walker, he practically jumped for joy, and despite my insistence, he gave me my meal for free that day. i continue to make progress with my conditions and i continue to go to the thai place. this man who does not know me personally and who i hardly know anything about is one of my favorite people. it’s interactions with humans like these that make loving life easier. and his curry really does help my chronic condition. it’s comfort food taken to the next level.
