Apparently in China peach wood (Along with the rest of the plant) is believed to have properties that repel evil spirits, a little similar to silver in European legends or iron for both European fae and West Asian/Middle eastern Jinn. Taoists sometimes keep swords made of peach wood because of this. This made me realize something. If you took a peach wood stick, and attached studs to it of both silver and iron you'd end up with a club or staff (or mace, flail etc.) that would have the weaknesses of many kinds of supernatural creatures while still retaining effectiveness as a normal weapon (peach is a hardwood and silver's poor edge retention doesn't matter for studs). You could even keep adding new stud materials to get something ridiculous that affects over 120 catalogued folkloric monsters. Since you just need a few little studs you could even get some really expensive materials like meteoric iron (a thumb tip sized meteorite can still cost like 10-20 bucks I think). I could somewhat feasibly make a weapon that affects every monster ever thought to walk the earth, from vampires and werewolves to jinn and jiangshi and even mankind.

Ways to impress your crush

1) Save him from a giant spider, but don’t kill the spider. It shows that you’re strong but still care about animals

2) When a mutual friend of yours dies, sing a poem about him as soon as possible

3) If he comments that you’d probably mine a cave of rocks, argue that you would actually tend to it like a garden. 

4) If you can’t carry his ring, carry him instead

Inadvisable tabletop RPG premise #137: semi-competitive one on one Soulslike pastiche where one participant takes on the role of the semi-amnesiac undead knight and the other takes on the role of the incongruously barefoot FromSoft level-up maiden. Neither participant is exactly a player or exactly a GM, with each having narrative authority over different aspects of the world and being bound by different game-mechanical constraints. The semi-competitive aspect of the premise stems from the fact that each participant is aiming for a different, mutually incompatible "ending", probably randomly assigned from a pool of around twelve, and neither participant knows which ending the other is trying to achieve.

WTF do you mean jailbreaking my "smart" TV to install Linux in order to run adblock on my TV would be "Felony Contempt of Buisiness Model" That sounds like a crime made up by The Board in Outer Worlds.

In fairness to King Kong, if I had a tiny adorable primate in my hand I would also be very resistant to someone taking it away from me.

remember when jkr went full mask off and started acting evil and hp fans were like "ok we need to think carefully about the stuff we consume, how can we justify enjoying this series, how can we love it without supporting the author? should we try to separate art from artist or should we leave it be? isn't showing solidarity to trans folks more important? if we remain openly fans of this series will it show trans people we aren't safe or trustworthy?"

and then they decided that none of those questions really mattered and they continued to uncritically consume their stupid badly written children's books, and jkr has only gotten more nasty and hateful, and people only hate trans folks more, and now the answer to the last question is invariably YES. I don't trust any goddamn person who still loves Harry Potter in 2024 bc you've decided your nostalgia about a mediocre story written by a bigot is more valuable than the safety and wellbeing of trans people 🫶🖕

Fish-rice integration is exciting. You harvest both fishes and rice on the same land. Do you like it?
