#i just have logistic questions

[bookwyrminspiration]

do you think they give you additional segments of cord to tie onto the end of your necklace whenever it gets full so you have more space incrementally, or do they give you the longest fucking string of your life day one of exillium and you’re just supposed to use that until you leave and look really silly. 6 feet of cord and 1 bead…

So this may just be me being totally naive about how D&D handles vampires but...does Astarion still have, like, bodily functions? Because unless it's mentioned in some banter I've yet to find in-game it never seems to get mentioned and all my Tavs have questions they're too afraid to ask.

"Don’t get me wrong, it’s cute that you all think you’re the heroes of this little adventure, but -- you’re not. You’re bandits. You’re the bad guys. And I... am the goddamn hero."

Handsome Jack (Borderlands 2)

- Everyone’s favorite jackass.

- Generic tabby shorthair.

- Large, stocky- big chest, thin waist. Huge front paws.

- Notched right ear.

- Three clasps on mask (two on brow, one on chin). Mask works like a second skin, perfectly capable of movement + emoting

- Heterochromatic (blue/green)

- Harness usually has at least two guns/knives with it. Leg harness ft. shield- left arm has his wrist laser.

- Usually has at least a little blood on him.

A.I Jack:

- No real difference besides the fact that he’s a hologram now.

- Still an asshole

- Doesn’t emit a glow, but never shaded even in the dark.

- Despite being capable of hovering around, usually walks.

- Eyes glow yellow when controlling Rhys’s cybernetics/Hyperion tech.

Jack (unmasked):

- V-shaped scar begins at left corner of mouth, crosses the middle of his left eye, passes corner of right eye and stops at right corner of mouth.

- Scar glows a faint blue in dim light. Acts like a branding scar- hurts like a bitch.

- Left eye entirely blind, vision poor in right. Exposed teeth + gums on left side of mouth (not shown)

- Scruffy chin

- Never goes without mask (cybernetics within give him better vision + protect scar/damaged mouth and teeth).

...you do realize you can blow a huge hole in the "Gerald based Shadow's design on the Super Sonic figure in the Hidden Palace mural" theory by saying it would still fit even if Gerald had based Shadow's design on the Eggman figure, right?

Not to mention, he had no good reason to believe it concerned the Chaos Emeralds as a whole when only the Master Emerald was depicted.

I emphasize this because the only thing we know which links every area of Gerald's research, which the games have confirmed, are the Chaos Emeralds.

Even assuming he saw the mural in person (which is in and of itself a big assumption due to the logistics involved in even getting to Hidden Palace; couldn't he have simply read about it instead, like how he read research papers about the Emeralds?)...

...what if he had committed the mistake of misinterpreting the mural? What if the Super Sonic figure as depicted by the echidnas had turned out to be a force for destruction like Perfect Chaos?

Considering how fastidious he once was about creating anything that could be turned into a weapon of mass destruction, it strikes me as vaguely OOC to assume he looked at the Super Sonic figure and went "yep, he's the good guy. let's use him as a base for our highly clandestine, difficult, resource-expensive, morally dubious immortality research"

love this part of my life where the things that are difficult but challenging and good for me are things i can stop and skip and halfass, but the things that are difficult and painful and pointless are the things i have to live with no matter what

fucking hell.

If anyone has a spare thought/fuck to give please toss it my way I'm treading the delicate path of sorting out the possible (absolutely likely) fuck ups of a former colleague and explaining to their supervisor that they allowed said fuck ups to continue for far longer than they needed to all for the sake of not wanting to ask questions

Just read Harrow the Ninth. I was rooting for someone to stab God so I could use your "in God we thrust" post to make a joke about it (thrust as in sword thrust. we are killing God), but it turned out that there was, in fact, the other kind of thrusting in God.

(I mean, possibly. Depends on who was topping whom)

woo! I hope you're enjoying the series--I certainly did. evidenced by my literally doing a whole group project about it

and DON'T WORRY! There's 2 entire other books! surely someone will stab Jod. Mercy would've if she'd had a knife, probably. so many people who love weapons hate that man

but yeah, after reading the series I can see now why tlt fandom loved my in god we thrust we are NOT trusting we are fucking god post. find it here if you haven't seen it

(also, in the few fics I've read, Jod does NOT seem to be topping. so. there's that)

Still bothered by Azazel possessing a reaper. How tf did you do that, old man.

Out of pure curiosity’s sake, logistically would Jellicle Cats be pregnant for the more realistic 2-ish months that actual cats are, or would they be more like the human 9-ish months, or somewhere in between?

(One thing you have to know about me is that I will put so much unnecessary time and thought and energy into a potential throwaway line, and if that doesn’t describe me as a person idk what will)

Concept for a hilarious and extremely chaotic but also excellent 2024 language goal: Watch Goenkale and Pobol y Cwm simultaneously

Okay, so the other day I was talking about how there's two "detransition" subreddits, right? One that's unfortunately full of never-transitioned transphobes, and one that has practically zero detrans people because it so aggressively prioritizes the feelings of trans people over the feelings of detrans people (for a long time they didn't even have any detrans mods, if that gives you a clue of why this subreddit exists in the first place).

I can't really handle either of them these days, so I usually just Avoid, but some people on twitter were making fun of a post on the second ("good") one, and I really had something to say to the OP so I went and replied... and I think it's SO. TELLING. that of the replies, mine was the only one from a detransitioned person... and mine was also the only one the OP responded to (and said it was helpful).

I say this all to point out how strange and sick it is that hurting, questioning trans people get pointed to this "good" and "virtuous" resource that WILL NOT HELP THEM AT ALL, and does not even have the primary goal of helping them! It certainly happened to me.

This person specifically was posting about how they want to dress feminine all of a sudden and are starting to think that they just feel too fat to be pretty, not actually that they don't want that... and if I hadn't happened to see other people being mean about it, the only advice this person struggling with body image would have gotten would be to "embrace femininity" by waxing, wearing makeup, and dressing for their body... which is not actually addressing what they're saying!

Instead of what they actually WANTED to be told, which was that those feelings have nothing to do with gender, so dressing differently, or trying to be seen as pretty, will never solve them.

This isn't about me or any other detransitioner being in the right place at the right time, though — it's about the fact that I *don't* like to go on this subreddit, and neither do any detrans people I know who have feelings more Complicated than just "I'm glad I tried it". There's few opportunities for our knowledge to mix. That is why there need to be real, facilitated detrans support groups — preferably irl — where people can discuss (unfortunately) taboo ideas like mental illness causing dysphoria, and the possibility that some of us (unconsciously) transitioned as a coping mechanism.

dropping thoughts like laundry into the aromanticism washing machine and watching them spin. taking little notes in a fancy journal titled "greyro??" and crossing them out, but then going back and scribbling an addendum. holding up an extravagant glass beaker full of a cool bubbling potion and peering at it through safety glasses that say "mind the amatonormativity!"
