Being the only bi cis guy amongst almost exclusively trans friends and peers is wild because in theory its like im living in a horny manga where all of a dudes friends turn into hot babes, but in reality they are hunting me like the last bison on the prairie. 5 years ago I mentioned bionicle and one of them asked when I was starting estrogen.

A few years ago a student house on my route to the train station had a rainbow flag hanging upside down. I passed this every day for quite a while, so when one day I saw some guys sitting outside the house I asked them if they knew it was upside down, they informed me it was an accident and a few days later it was hanging right side up.

A few months later they got a new flag; a much bigger rainbow flag. But they again hung it upside down. I passed a note under the door, and told them a few times when they were sitting outside again; but they didn't flip it. Untill they put up a Dutch flag half mast for the fourth of may (remembrance day) and full mast for the fifth of may (liberation day), and then they put the rainbow flag right side up the sixth of may.

Fast forward to today, a year or two later, and a business about two hundred metres down the street of this student house has put up a pride flag: upside down! At this point I'm convinced someone is just out to infuriate me.

A rookie mistake is getting out of things by claiming a grandparent died. You can do that a maximum of four times per person, and that's assuming maximum social atomization, where nobody you know is likely to talk to each other and compare notes and realize that five of your grandmothers have died of carbon monoxide poisoning in the last three months. The winning play? Dead Uncles. You can have any number of dead uncles, because who knows how many siblings your parents have? You don't even need to keep the stories straight because if you slip up you can claim it was two separate uncle deaths. You can repeat names, even, one on each side of your family. Uncles often die in memorable ways so you can get flamboyant with the specifics. Motorcycle accidents, firework explosions, prostate cancer, rottweiler training mishap. It won't be that weird that you aren't particularly torn up about it. Maybe you didn't like your Uncle

one time, as a kid, I watched someone make an omelette. after stewing on the idea for a full day, I asked my mother how it worked, got a basic lesson, and then proceeded to spend the next three months in the omelette mines making 3-5 omelettes every single day (depending on how many of my siblings were left with any tolerance for eating them) until I felt I had really truly certainly gotten a grasp on the concept of the omelette

I then repeated this every time I learned a recipe, which is funny because I didn't even like cooking beyond a passing interest, I was just really interested in the idea of being able to max out the skill or something

as soon as I demonstrated mastery over something, I immediately dropped it and moved onto the next thing, and this was an understood pattern to the point where my siblings would try to prompt me into spending a period of fixation on whatever they wanted to eat at the time, and then they'd have several servings of it a day until they got sick of it and started to hate it

but them enjoying it wasn't really the goal. largely tangential. I mostly just wanted to get it down and then move on.

moral of the story: none

I think Rhythm of War is my favorite Stormlight book but man. Oathbringer has so may moments that just stick with me.

Moments that live rent free in my brain, in no particular order:

Veil basically being like "yes I would like to buy an alcohol" and then chugging horneater white. then when someone puts a hand on hers she stabs them through both their hands

"he's learning to read? isn't that kinda... feminine?" "Drehy you are literally courting another man" "and? what does that have to do with it" "yeah don't be homophobic Kal ://"

Kaladin being unable to think about sex without imagining Syl giving him pointers and being so disturbed by it that when someone asks what's wrong he passes it off as reliving a traumatic memory

no mating!!!

"what'd you do, punch a lighteyes?" "yes" *punches the brightlord*

Shallan doing the family guy death pose and flashing everyone for science

Shallan getting stabbed through the chest and Kaladin frantically trying to tear her shirt off without thinking to see where the blood was coming from because he forgot about tits existing

Adolin managing to acquire a nice outfit in Shadesmar and Kaladin's complete bafflement

Dalinar: Adolin, I am putting you in charge of finding who killed that guy. Adolin, who killed that guy: what

Shallan: another murder done exactly the same way! the murderer must've struck again! Adolin, who did not kill this one: what

Lift just appearing in visions when Dalinar tried to talk to Yanagawn and talking about his butt

the Assassin in White joining the final battle and everyone just going okay this might as well happen. everything about this is already so damn weird

Dalinar's solution to EVERYTHING being challenge someone to a fight. this is how everyone communicates they engage in combat. what better strategy could there be than making it clear to someone that I could destroy them by force at any time it worked great on my nephew

young Dalinar walking out into the highstorm to get his knife, stabbing an assassin with it, then rinsing it off in his wine and using it to cut his meat

"stormfather!" "what?" "that was a curse"
