I just said it was a scary demon

What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "ooouuaargh I'm a demon!"

Would you not throw yourself down and scream because there is a scary demon?

What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "ooouuaargh I'm a demon!"

it's like putting a slide at the beginning of the post and by the time that momentum dies off you can mostly sunk cost fallacy your way through the other half of my dragon's dogma recommendation, which you did not consent to read

you've made two posts starting with "the problem with" today. we're increasing the dosage.

the problem with "the problem with" is that it's just an easy way to launder a shitpost into sounding like an opinion. you can toss the entire first half of the opening sentence out like an article headline. everyone gets too curious about the broader point to realise they've been tricked into reading dry ramblings on elves

an elf shares their music opinions with you more as a sort of condescending riddle game where every "I haven't heard it" answer is a confirmation of what they believed going into the conversation (mortality limits the scope of your taste)

if they actually play a song for you, it's probably extremely bland, and they're waiting for you to say something about that so they can fondly chuckle about it for the next hundred years

not necessarily elf exclusive behaviour but it's definitely common with elves. sometimes it's a reciprocated ritual and it forms the basis of a lasting friendship

the problem with almost every attempt to guess what kind of modern music elves would like is that the venn diagram of people who make posts about elves and people who are pretentious enough to match an elf's taste hasn't formed a near-perfect singular circle in two decades

an elf's favourite song is this one improvisational melody they heard a passerby hum a century ago and they get increasingly upset at how uncultured you are because you don't know it. you ask for their second favourite song. it's an unreleased track from a band that died on their way to record it for the first time.

you had too much faith in how high brow I was being here, because what I meant was "deadbeat lesbian homewrecker"

as far as writing between the lines goes, what the arknights writers did to get himejoshi universally understanding very specific things about mostima's role should go in a history book

like it's genuinely rare to see such ubiquitous agreement on how a character is portrayed in fan material
