#which is INSANE because I don't have a 17 intelligence!!!!

[raven-master]

When you figure out have to characterise Gale Dekarios without getting a headache lmk

honestly soothing to know this is a Universal Experience

[ethan-acfan]

Ferral desmond has my heart. So here are some feral desmond head canons

1. Extremely flexible and amazing at hiding even before the animus

2. blast the most aggressive music with a straight face. Like his headphones will be screaming about murdering people for drugs, and he'll just be chilling.

3. He definitely takes insane amounts of melatonin to fall asleep like 40+mg (please don't do that that is not safe).

4. Has started multiple bar fights on purpose.

5. Has connections to gangs.

6. Has never paid taxes, the IRS hates him.

7. He got really drunk and decided to have an energy drink with it. He ended up hacking into government intelligence and had to skip town because the fbi had tried to kill him

8. He is really good at throwing knives but can't shoot a bow to save his life. Like give him a set of throwing knives, and he can take down abstergo in an hour, give him a bow, and he'll be dead.

9. Once he learned how to fall safely, he started jumping off tall buildings for fun

10. A complete adrenaline junkie he spends most of his time at 6 flags

11. His feral-ness is not helped by the fact that he has the diet of a pre-med student reheated coffees with a side of hope and prayers

12. Prefers sleeping on the floor will 100% take the floor over a bed the only reason he has a mattress was so his friends had some where to sleep when they came over.

13. When he gets high, he either has questions that could get him on a watchlist or he's climbing the walls

14. He enjoys scaring children

15. Is very picky about keeping things a specific way. He can sense when someone is trying to reorganize his spice cabinet

16. LOVES spicy food. If he's not crying by the end, then it wasn't hot enough

17. His notes app is so fucking random like he has his grocery list, a hit list, the Geneva conventions, the bee movie script, the fucking Bible (he's not even Christian)

18. Once, he fist fought a gang leader and won.

19. He has had to disappear on multiple occasions because the FBI tried to revoke his life subscription

20. The only reason he got taken by Templars was because he was about to skip town again, but then Abstergo walked in and he was like "sweet I won't have to run across the country again thanks guys!"

21. Back at the farm, Bill had smacked one of his friends, and desmond had to be held back by 5 people (3 of which were seriously injured after)

22. He doesn't typically get angry, but when he does, everyone scatters bc he is punching concrete, and- *how tf did he just crack the concrete with a single punch?*

23. Never sleep (he might be batman)

24. "Do it, you won't" has been said to him too many times, and each time, he proves that he will, in fact, do it

25. If you gave that man a full 8 hour sleep along with a proper meal, he would be able to take over a country

if you could!?-‘

Could you make a list of unknown, not very mainstream??? (Man idk how to say it!!) facts about John??

Thansjk✅✝️🙏🙏 (no i haven’t taken deugs!!)

Well, we’ve got two problems here, anon. One is that my mind always goes completely blank when I get these types of asks. The other is that I never have any idea of what is mainstream or common knowledge - especially on tumblr where the more insane lore is often more well-known than the boring biographical stuff.

Anyway, I’ll just throw out some random facts and apologise if this is all common knowledge

John had 5 half-siblings. His mother Julia had three daughters - Victoria (adopted and renamed Ingrid), Julia and Jackie. I don’t believe John was aware of Victoria’s existence. His father Alfred (Freddie) remarried in 1968, and they had two sons, David and Robin

John didn't see his dad Freddie from the age of 5 until 1964. John initially refused to speak to him, and asked Brian Epstein to bury a song that Freddie was releasing (he did). In 1967, John and his dad did build up some kind of a relationship, with Freddie and his fiancée Pauline moving into Kenwood in 1968, and Pauline working for the fan club. After John went through Janov's primal scream therapy, he invited Freddie and Pauline to Tittenhurst Park, where John shouted at him and kicked them out. John didn't see his dad again, but they did reconcile on the phone shortly before he died, which was in 1976, two weeks after Paul's dad Jim.

As well as the two books published in his lifetime (In His Own Write and A Spaniard In The Works), John started another book in the 70s, which was published after his death as Skywriting by Word of Mouth. This includes a mini autobiography in which he sounds like a complete arse, as well as an innuendo-ridden story about Paris in which he sounds like a man who shagged Paul in Paris.

Speaking of Paris, the £100 that John used to take Paul to Paris with him has generally been seen (and described by Paul) as birthday money (from his Scottish dentist uncle) for his 21st. But one of John’s half sisters (Julia,I think) has since claimed that it was inheritance from their mum, due to him on his 21st. It’s not clear whether John knew this and didn’t tell Paul, or if he just didn’t know.

John had a bit of a weird obsession with finding a girl who was his ‘type’…

From Skywriting by Word of Mouth... 'I’d always had a fantasy about a woman who would be a beautiful, intelligent, dark-haired, high-cheek-boned, free-spirited artist (à la Juliette Greco)... After a short visit to India on my way home from Australia, the image changed slightly—she had to be a dark-eyed Oriental... Of course as a teenager, my sexual fantasies were full of Anita Ekberg and the usual giant Nordic goddesses. That is, until Brigitte Bardot became the “love of my life” in the late Fifties. All my girlfriends who weren’t darkhaired suffered under my constant pressure to become Brigitte. By the time I married my first wife (who was, I think, a natural auburn), she too had become a long-haired blonde with the obligatory bangs.'

During the Beatles Australia tour in 1964, John slept with a 17-year-old girl called Jenny Kee. Jenny said that, "I don't think he had been with an Asian girl before.  He was very aware of it.  He was quite excited by it.”

On at least one occasion, he said the word 'orgy' wrong. Which is ironic, because he and Yoko were members of a private members bar called Club Orgy

There’s a few anecdotes about John’s sexual encounters. Royston Ellis and David Bowie have both claimed to have a (MMF) threesome with John. Tony Manero claimed that John propositioned him in the 70s.. Jojo Laine (Denny Laine's ex-wife) claimed she had a one-night stand with him. In John Green's book Dakota Days, John is often talking about visiting 'whorehouses' during his supposed househusband years

Speaking of the househusband years, although it's true that John spent a lot of time at home in the 1970s, the idea of John as a 'househusband' is a myth - it was a story cooked up by John and Yoko to hide the fact that he'd lost his 'muse' and was unable to write songs anymore. In reality, Sean was looked after by nannies, and (according to John Green) John used to make Sean ride in a separate limo so he didn't have to listen to him crying. But, John did seem to get a closer to Sean when he got older, and spent a lot of time with him in Cold Spring Harbour and Bermuda while Yoko was working in New York.

Most people probably know that the 'lost weekend' that John referred to was actually an 18-month separation from Yoko, while he was in a relationship with May Pang. But according to May, John was back in her bed within days of him going back to Yoko, and they kept sleeping together for about a year afterwards.

Anyway, I think that's enough for now - apologies again if any of this is too obvious. The problem with John is a lot of the lesser known stuff is more about the darker side of his personality, which is just depressing

[harlequinoccult]

HEY! dnd anon here again, I meant for this to be a daily thing but I missed yesterday because I got busy with irl stuff.... rip but don't worry! I have both Sweetheart's and Elysium's Classes ready to be sent today..... although I will be sending them in separate messages just as a heads up anyways here is Sweetheart with the Obsession Domain! I quite like sweatheart, I think he is such an interesting character and I think the class captured his 'vibe' pretty well.... although I guess your the judge of that lol --------

Obsession Domain: it is not uncommon for clerics to worship ideas of Love, Union and Companionship, to wish to act as match-maker, to find their soul mate, however….. clerics who take this to the extreme…. to have the ideas of love go to a point of mania and insanity…. they become Obsession Domain clerics…. clerics of obsession have an unhealth love for the concept of true love itself, it's also important to note they loathe any who break the bonds of love and punish them with violent retribution

1st: Obsession Domain Magic at the following levels you gain these spells, they count as cleric spells for you, are always prepared and do not count against spells you have prepared 1st: Dissonant Whispers, Ceremony 3rd: Crown of Madness, Warding Bond 5th: Bestow Curse, Life Transference 7th: Confusion, Death Ward 9th: Synaptic Static, Rary's Telepathic Bond

1st: Bonus Proficiencies At 1st level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons and heavy armor.

1st: Soul-Mate By spending one hour with a willing creature, you can dub them your 'soul-mate' while bonded both always know the location and emotional state of each other, when one attempts to heal the other that healing is always maximized and when you or your soul-mate make Wisdom, Charisma or Intelligence saving throw and both of you may use your soul-mate's saving throw modifier so long as it is higher than your own. Additionally you may cast warding bond on your soul-mate without a spell slot, when casted this way, it no long becomes limited by range and lasts for 8 hours This bond can only be ended by a 4 hour ritual, in which the bonded creatures must make contesting wisdom rolls, the loser taking 8d8 psychic damage which cannot be reduced in anyway

2nd: Channel Divinity: Heartbreaker by using a use of your Channel Divinity you can label a number of creatures equal to your wisdom modifier as Heartbreakers worthy of being purged, for 1 minute, the you gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls against the selected creatures as well as the creatures taking an additional 1d8 psychic damage whenever you hit them with a melee attack

6th: Punish the Disloyal At level 6, you learn how to punish heartbreakers even further, Creatures marked by your Channel Divinity: Heartbreaker now take 2d8 psychic damage and have disadvantage on all Charisma, Wisdom and Intelligence saving throws against your spells

8th: Divine Strike At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 psychic damage. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.

17th: After Death Do Us Part at level 17, When you or your soul mate are reduced to 0 hitpoints, the one reduced to 0 hitpoints remains conscious for 1 minute but still must make death saving throws and suffer the effects of taking damage a 0 hitpoints, once this minute ends you die as normal if you failed 3 death saving throws otherwise you are knocked back unconscious, however in a stabilized state. the other is sent into a frenzy, causing them to have a -2 to AC, +5 to all attack rolls and all all damage they do as well as a +3 to their spell save DC and +20 movement speed -------- Every time I do one of these I feel like I triple check it to make sure there are no glaring errors in like grammar or spelling or any mistakes in like putting the wrong title and I don't see any and then I see my ask in your response and then I see the issues and I die inside a little but anyways, I'd love to hear what you and Sweetheart think!

oh as a DM, After Death Do Us Part is a very very interesting one 👀 im a sucker for abilities that can mechanically link people that can lead into RP. wonderful.

Sweetheart would really really really like the Soul-Mate ability. wishes he really did have it, he's vaguely familiar with ttrpgs by way of his extended family so he wouldn't be a total noob

[daxite]

dude

i've been struggling on how to write this, but on saturday i lost one of my closest companions

i didn't post too often about dude on here just because i usually don't post things about my life on social media that much in general, it's something i tend to keep in friend circles on discord lol, but he was my rabbit who i had for about 8 years, since i was around 16/17, and i had an extremely close bond with him

dude was originally owned by my friend's family, he was brought from a small family-owned pet store and was the last of his siblings left, he didn't have any fur patterns so nobody wanted him despite him being such a beautiful and loving rabbit, he was there until he was 6 months old and put on a discount lol

for the first couple of years of his life dude didn't really get much attention, it wasn't until my friend and i took him into our own hands where he finally got the love, space and attention he deserved

i remember the day when he first moved into our room and how happy and excited he was, zooming around and binkying up in the air everywhere, i remember just spending pretty much that entire week sitting on the floor with him, playing with him and getting to know him

over the next few years dude bonded with both of us extremely quickly and closely, he'd spend most of his time cuddling with us and playing around the room when i moved back in with my family he was even more excited since now he basically had an entire house to run around which he absolutely loved, i really can't exaggerate just how happy and playful he was during the years he spent here especially

we didn't know his exact age, but dude was around 11 years old, he would've been 12 in november, which is already very old for a rabbit, but considering that he was a mixed giant breed (half-flemish giant, half-silver fox), he was insanely old and did incredibly well for his age, most giants and giant mixes don't live longer than 8 or 9 years due to their size

over the past year or so i had noticed he'd been slowing down a bit, not really running around as much, couldn't really jump up or down off the bed anymore, developing a bit of catarax, so i knew his age was catching up to him, especially over the past few months, he'd been struggling to groom himself and wasn't eating as much

on thursday we took him to the vet, he was given some painkillers and fibre supplements, but there wasn't really much else they could do as they weren't sure what was up with him other than he was just getting old

i won't go into too much details about what specifically happened when he passed because it was very upsetting, but i noticed he wasn't doing well at all around 5am, i stayed up with him until around 8am checking on him and just sitting with him tried to get some sleep but kept waking up at basically 30 minute intervals because i was too stressed out about him, he managed to hop right next to the bed besides me and sleep a little, which had always been one of his favourite spots to sleep in since we got him

i woke up again at around 11am, checking on him and stroking him, it was then where he made a little squeak and i picked him up out of concern, and unfortunately he passed there in my arms

we were considering taking him to the vet in the morning, but there wasn't anything that they could have done other than likely put him down, ultimately i'm very glad that we didn't and he was able to pass on his own terms, as peacefully as he could have given the circumstances, in one of his favourite places as i comforted him

i've always loved rabbits since i was a kid, but i never realised just how incredibly close, loyal and loving they can be until dude, it does break my heart to see people discount them so much because they write them off as less intelligent or that they won't love you like something like a dog can, despite them being extremely clever and being able to bond ridiculously closely with their owners, dude was the peak example of that

not only was dude an incredibly loving, sweet and friendly rabbit, he completely loved everybody who he met, but he was also an absolute freak lol, always lying down and squeezing himself into the most ridiculous places because he found them comfortable

precariously wedging himself against and under movable chairs was one of his favourites and it was terrifying every time lmao

because of his breed, dude also had a very weird coat, since he was a silver fox mix, his fur was layered very differently to other rabbit breeds, he was incredibly beautiful but an absolute pain with molting lol

you can see in this photo with how weirdly his fur was layered, since he was black it was pretty hard to see most of the time

dude was generally an extremely healthy rabbit, never had any issues whatsoever, the biggest scare he had was when he pulled out one of his claws by accident a few years ago, he was perfectly fine and we were able to just treat him with some anti-septic powder for a few days at home i still have that claw, i'm probably going to use it in a mini terrarium in memory for him

given he was so affectionate, dude really loved licking people, especially my friend and i, before him i actually had no idea that rabbits lick people out of affection like dogs do, it was incredibly sweet though for some reason he loved licking toes above all things like the freak he was lmfao

this is only scratching the surface about dude and how much we all loved him and the kinds of things he'd get up to, i really cannot truly put into words how special of a rabbit he was, i've never had a bond that strong with an animal before and i don't think i'll ever have something quite like that again, he was genuinely one of the best things that has ever happened in my life and i'll always hold him incredibly close in my heart and be forever greatful for being able to spend that time with him and how wonderful he was, rest in peace little man

[pollywiltse]

Oh lordy, based on the Google books preview of the Daigler book and checking what I think is the bit in Randall he's claiming as the source (p391-392), the "ample documentation to show that André and Peggy were socially close and probably friends but without any apparent romantic or physical interplay[30]" (Daigler, p 152-153) is Randall saying that André wasn't serious about any of the girls in Philadelphia (uncited) and he liked spending time with Peggy Shippen (uncited), "But when Peggy stepped out for the evening, it was more often on the arm of Royal Navy Captain Hammond, who later said, "We were all in love with her" .[35]

The source for note 35 is "Quoted in Flexner, Traitor and the Spy, 203." The pertinent sentence on page 203 is "Lord Rawdon considered her the handsomest woman he had seen in America, and Captain A. S. Hammond of the Roebuck remembered, "We were all in love with her"." This is the only citation for any part of that section. (The party on the Roebuck immediately following and also uncited is Flexner page 204 though.) There is no source for Peggy usually going out with Hammond, and I checked the indexes of Flexner and Hatch for him just to make sure it wasn't in there but uncited by Randall. It's not, and I'm not doing any more of Randall's homework for him because I also don't think there's any evidence about the claims he's making about André's or Peggy's feelings one way or the other (depending on how seriously you think the last Peggy Chew poem was meant).

(Also let me point out that Randall may be under the impression the only reason a man and a woman don't date is because the man isn't interested, but if Peggy was regularly going out with Hammond, that doesn't necessarily mean André wasn't into her. He may be nearly a real life Gary Stu, but that didn't stop him from falling in love with a girl who didn't reciprocate before. .......Who was also a beautiful and intelligent blonde 17-year-old who then went on to marry an older widower with several children. Type?

I'm not actually suggesting André went around suffering from deep unrequited Peggy Shippen-love since I don't really think he did. I'm just pointing out that the evidence Randall is citing doesn't actually show what he's claiming. Especially because he's not citing any evidence.)

But anyway, this is in no way, shape, or form "ample documentation" proving anything about André and Peggy Shippen's relationship and if this is what Daigler thinks counts as "ample documentation", I suddenly understand why everyone thought there were WMDs in Iraq.

Ok, fine, I think it's pretty clear the first part - they "were socially close and probably friends" - has supporting evidence (though he really could have just said friends). It's the second bit that's the problem, and also based on the comment on JAR I remember seeing (but I can't find again so maybe I'm insane), he was claiming there was ample documentation for that. Which there is not.

[terrifickid]

Matsuri

Dunno, it was a very vivid dream to have on a window sill.

I feel real and the nation-state paradigm seems unreal - adversarial, killing everyone including me, corrupt, insane.

I have friends and we talk about it and lots of people respect and support my decision. Just seems like a natural process I'm participating in. Aligned with my values, perceptions and history as part of a legitimate sequence of pursuing my life.

I don't really see any major obstacles or challenges.

That's not ever going to change. If somehow I'm able to keep living it won't be for very long - and I'll not be exiting the spirit world - and I won't be talking to many people again and we're going to work for positive outcomes and well-being - not tourism infrastructure.

I think the first thing that must be realize is our life isn't about health or wealth or happiness. It's about, the glory of God, so to speak. And what we are is part and parcel of our life. Our life is well basically a karmic drama for some reason as part of our work or development or something - it's an extension of 'the plan'. So, you're welcome to start printing ironic tshirts but if nature willed you to live forever you would. It's not that everyone should kill themselves or not or print or not - everyone has their own karma I guess and this is what it looks like.

I don't generally die, but when I do it's wholeheartedly.

Well I believe that I will die because I want to die and I've never wanted that before now. I want to die because I want to leave my body and go to the sun to continue. Corroborating this feeling is a sense of disgust with the planet I have traveled for 40 years and a sense of completion with my career and studies as well as the culmination of adulthood I guess of turning 40.

Moreover, I see no potential way I could continue to live, no ideas as to any alternative life or self or belief, no obligations to shirk, no kids and no personal dreams or aspirations unrealized. Nothing I can imagine would even be bearable to do.

Additionally, 3 years ago I was diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder - so I am constantly experiencing paranoid delusions, ear ringing, and auditory and visual hallucinations. This has been slowly degenerating since birth.

Additionally, I was diagnosed with attachment disorder at 17. A condition arising likely when I was an infant.

So this all aligns with my primary life's work which was to understand who I was, where I was and what was going on. This multidisciplinary study could be said to have converged both miraculously, mystically, actually and historically at mount kurama in the concept of fudo-myo. This is related and aligned with the cosmogony of the soul. That cosmogony and the space I find myself actually in and perceiving is of one universal family of beings within relationship - their interactions promulgating an unknowable becoming within a vast, grand and good design. This perception also includes perceptions of higher dimensionality, a presence or soul beyond my physical body and contact and communication with various 'dragon filled dragons' - relatable intelligences I guess who identify themselves as God, and the angels who are the same dieties as canonized in world religions. Who are very nice, considerate and helpful may I add! These intelligences made their presence known to me as early as when I was 7 or so by performing a miracle regarding bringing me money. These beings have guided me here into the world's religion and those same beings have been experienced to have guided others to help me as well according to my direct questioning of other people.

Irrespective of the truth of any matter - I may or may not act. It's generally considered that people with schizoaffective disorder require assistance with their lives. I believe I have an obligation to take care of my own health. With no cure available I can only manage the symptoms and will require living assistance.

The future has yet to be won and I have no desire or taste for suicide. If I can not attain living assistance, or dying assistance nor take care of myself then continuing to live, to my thinking, will be an impossibility and I will become a schizophrenic homeless person with a short life span.

What will I do then?

I will have to make a choice to act - how would I choose to not immediately seek to end my life in a pleasant way to continue on with my studies?

How could I make the choice to go to a homeless shelter. Would I sit and meditate? Why would I personally choose to do that with no reason? I would neither do that than become the world's foremost baseball pitcher. For what reason would I build houses for the homeless when I would be unable to cooperate with the group, a security liability - moreover - it would not fit the paradigm of universal destiny and divine design - since everyone is fine and these scenarios work to promulgate the fates.

Will I then follow a series of commands?

There will only be my own choice to end this unserving, toxic and abusive relationship or continue within it.

I have already made the decision as far as treatment and a solution to this conundrum.

I will remain present. This form of meditation is the same as mentioned in Psalm 91:1-4 - I for one welcome whatever alien overlords may well be on their way - as well as this spiraling energy tunnel gateway I find myself within at each moment.

I believe this is the exploit I will use to overcome this so-called "Kobayashi Maru" no-win simulation scenario.

And that by remaining present, synonymous with this gateway process will I be ushered into a higher dimensional reality.

And live!

[servin-up-surveys]

survey #124

Do you like pineapple on pizza? To be entirely fair, I don't think I've tried it, but considering I'm generally not a fan of sweet and savory combos, I'm doubtful I would enjoy it.

Do you like milk? I do, but only legitimate, mammalian milk. No oat, soy, etc. stuff; trust me, I've tried it because the dairy industry is actually fucking horrible and rooted in awful abuse & I want NOTHING to do with it, but I just don't like non-dairy alternatives, like in the way that I have to aggressively fight spewing it out - which I don't always succeed at. I just hate it. I am so, so sensitive to tastes I dislike.

Do you like syrup or powdered sugar on your french toast? Uh I guess a bit of both is ideal, but I could see me going for one or the other depending on my mood.

Do you put jelly or butter on your toast? I honestly don't really eat toast. But if I DO have it for whatever reason, I'm gonna want grape jam on it.

Do you like baking? Never done it. I really should learn, though... I just need to learn cooking in general.

What are you grandparents' names? Right now I only remember my mom's parents' tbh, which were Cecelia and William.

If any, how old are your siblings? Ashley is 29, Nicole JUST turned 25, Misty is 35, Katie is 39, and Bobby is... oh, he doesn't have his birth year on FB, so idk lmao, but younger than Katie. Full disclosure I looked up Misty's and Katie's too bc I'm awful and don't remember my half-siblings' birthdays/ages like a literal asshole <333333

What color is your dad's hair? So he was born blonde IF I remember his childhood pictures correctly, but it became totally black for the majority of his life. It's pretty much entirely gray by now, but you can see the hue kinda peppers in lightness in a sorta way where at least to me, you can tell his hair is supposed to be black, he's just old.

How old was your mom when she had you? FUCK my mom doesn't have her birth year on FB either, but I THINK it was 1961, so if that is the case she would've been 34. It's somewhere around there.

Do you live with any of your family members currently? Just my mom.

What is your favorite cousins name? I don't have a close relationship with any of my cousins, honestly.

Who are you closest to in your family? My mom.

How long have you and your partner been together? It's been around a year and a half now.

Do you live together? Not currently, but I'm aware that when he has his own place again, he wants me to come with him. His mom is in a stable enough place and has been for a long enough time where he's comfortable leaving her with the house, but because of just how fucking CLINICALLY INSANE the housing market is right now, he just hasn't found a decent place that's priced even remotely reasonably. It's just financially intelligent to stay where he is until the market gets better or an incredible deal falls into his lap.

What is the first movie you watched together? As a couple? Technically, I think it'd be Coraline, which I know we watched once at my place the first time we tried dating in '17. Oh wait... or it mighta been the remake of It, which we watched in theaters.

How old are they? He's 29 and convinced he's basically on this deathbed age-wise lmao sir your life has JUST started

What are some things you enjoy doing? Primarily computer-related stuff, like watching videos or listening to music, socials activities, RPing, editing various things, playing WoW, doing surveys... but I also like to take photographs, read, draw, play video games (these days primarily with others), and I would absolutely adore going on nature walks and things of the like if I was in better shape (one day!!), and it wasn't hot. I also love learning about and watching animals.

What is your favorite color? Pastel pink is #1, followed by... many other pink shades, haha, like coral, rose gold, neon, fuchsia, etc. etc. I also like deep, regal reddish-purple colors, like maroon and burgundy, and lighter shades of purple, like lilac, orchid, and such.

What state are you from? North Carolina.

Have you ever adopted an animal? I'm assuming you don't mean truly "purchase" from a breeder or something, in which case, yes.

Have you ever taken in a stray? That's how our outdoor cat infestation from my childhood started, haha. I know my family (myself 100% included) has ZERO regrets over rescuing Chance, but yeah, it was a massive problem. Even after her, when we'd entered a phase of having no cats, we took in two kittens (Aphrodite and her sister whose name I just can't remember anymore) that were LITERALLY thrown out of a car in a plastic bag. Aphrodite started a fresh chain of having way too many cats, but not nearly as many as we had with Chance's family. They were still taken by animal control, though, because of wildly shitty neighbors that never communicated "hey they keep wandering into our yard, stop this or we're calling somebody." Coming home from school to every single one of them gone was one of the worst days of my fucking life (I was literally shrieking curses and sobbing on the porch), and I still grieve Aphrodite especially; I adored that cat. BUT ANYWAY, DO NOT keep your cats outdoors, and even when solely indoor pets, spay/neuter them, PLEASE.

What is an animal you are scared of? Whale sharks. It's funny, I like them, they're such peaceful animals, but their mouths just REALLY freak me out. I'd actually like to swim near one one day, maybe kill the fear.

Have you ever been bitten by a dog? Not a serious bite, no. Just a couple nips from nervous ones, the kinds that never even drew blood. My sister has been bitten by a German shepherd though on the hand; it belonged to her friend, and for some reason I don't remember, the dog just attacked her. She wound up needing stitches, and bless her friend, poor girl was sobbing because she felt so bad. It didn't affect Nicole's love for dogs though, and later in life she basically owned a German shepherd named Zeke. Maybe she sorta still does, idk; he was her ex-boyfriend's, and even after the split I know she's always been allowed to see him and I THINK bring him to her place occasionally? That dog is literally the child of divorced parents lmfao

Is Halloween your favorite holiday? Concept and aesthetic-wise, absolutely yes. I LIVE for the vibe, but as far as celebrating the holiday goes, it's not; I really don't do anything, pretty much ever. Christmas is definitely my fave celebratory-wise, because my family gets together and I just love seeing Ash's kids be so overjoyed about it all. It's just one of those days where you really, really focus on the love you have for the people you choose to spend your life with.

Do you like to watch scary movies during October? Meh, I'm just not a movie person, at least when it comes to watching them alone. I'd totally be done for like, watching them with Girt. Primarily because he hates horror/is a total pansy about it and it's hilarious lmfao

What are a couple of your favorite horror films? The original The Blair Witch Project is #1 (I like the sequel too), and I also totally adore The Crazies; maybe tied with the former mention, actually, idk. I thought The Boy was EXCELLENT, that's actually a movie I'd love to watch again. You can't go wrong with The Shining, either! The acting is just historical, plus I'm really into the concept of hysteria building off of what is technically nothing; I think that's also why I love The Blair Witch Project so much, at least the explanation behind it (collective hysteria, overreacting to certain things). The mind is SUCH a powerful thing.

What is your favorite Halloween treat/candy? Pumpkin-shaped Reese's, haha.

Do you often find yourself eating just because you’re bored? I used to be really bad at this, but not so much anymore. I'm not gonna say it NEVER happens, but I've gotten way better about reinforcing to myself "no, you're not hungry, you're bored."

Are you a sex addict? lmao if you know me at all, you know I'm definitely not.

Have you ever had a boyfriend/girlfriend taken from you? No. She tried, but I know Juan didn't date her after a lie she made up DID make me say "you know what fuck this I'm done with this whole drama bye" and break up with him. The lie she'd told was very believable for him honestly, and even though I DID know it could be a lie, Rachel had caused enough stress for me already and I wasn't confident enough of how into Juan I was to put up with it. To this day, I consider that lie a saving grace. I know Juan's done bad things that I don't know about (it's specifically stuck with me to this day that his answer to me asking about a stab wound scar he had was "I deserved it"), and bad things I do know about. It says something when your teacher pulls you aside when she noticed him visiting me a lot in art class to tell me to stay away from him. I'm pretty sure she did this literally twice, but for certain once.

If so, what would you like to do to the person who took them from you? Even in the hypothetical of Juan getting back with Rachel after that incident, Rachel is actually my friend now and I think she's fantastic (people grow, I will not hold her past against her). I wish her zero harm at all, only good things.

Have you ever been cheated on? If so, have you forgiven them? No. To mention my last survey, I DO sometimes wonder if Jason and the girl he dated after me (Ashley) had something stirring before we even split, but in total honesty, I don't think so, I really don't. I don't think that's the kind of person Jason was. But it WAS definitely alarming just how quickly he was onto someone else after we split following dating super seriously for over three and a half years.

Quick! Tell me the name of your favorite movie. The Lion King and The Meerkats 2008 documentary. I forget to mention the latter a lot, because it's an obscure movie barely anyone you will ever meet probably even knows, but it is simply phenomenal.

Do you wear water bras? ... What the fuck is a water bra?

Have you ever sent an anon hate message, be honest now. Nope.

Would you let someone give you a golden shower for a million dollars? I had to look this up and hell fucking no.

Name a band that you think is beyond overrated: I don't care man, let people enjoy whatever art they want. I really don't even know who's "in" these days anyway.

Who is the last person you said goodbye to? My PT therapist for today. She was new for me and is already tied with one other woman for my favorite, haha.

Who can you not live without? Nobody. PLEASE, don't adopt this mentality. I know it's hard to, but think realistically: you, in all technicality, CAN live without any one person, and I think this is so important to remember for when one day, you do lose them in one way or another, and you have to continue living without them. I totally used to believe this when it came to Jason, and I know it played a massive role in the severity of the breakup aftermath, but look at who the hell is living just fine - even happily - without him now.

What’s your favorite sea creature? Giant whales like blue whales top the list, but I also deeply love sea turtles, sea lions, seahorses, jellyfish, and dolphins. Sharks are also very cool and VERY unfairly villainized!!

What’s your favorite acoustic song? The "If I'm James Dean, You're Audrey Hepburn" one by Sleeping With Sirens, I think. That's been a high wedding song contendor for years now, lmao.

What’s your favorite riddle? Okay so this is really just because of context/plot; it's from God of War: Ragnarök, where Brok asks, "What gets bigger the more you take away from it?," and Mimir realizes the answer near the end: a hole. You'd have to play the game to understand and feel the sheer weight of it, which I HIGHLY recommend, the game is fucking brilliant, I cried SO much through it.

What do you think happens after we pass? I just don't know. I know I don't believe in some perfect paradise and a wicked hell for suiting people, but I DO believe we're still... there somehow, but definitely not with the level of sentience and awareness that we do while alive. I like to think that it's a peacefulness, a feeling of wholeness with the world.

^ Is it different from what you’d like to happen? I don't know, really. It's like, on the surface, the idea of a Heaven sounds fantastic, but... to live in nothing but flawless harmony for all conceivable eternity? That just doesn't sound ideal for me. And I ABSOLUTELY don't believe in/want a Hell-like realm to exist, because like I mentioned earlier, people change, grow, and are ALWAYS (well, I suppose almost always) deserving of the chance to redeem themselves. Eternal punishment so severe that our human minds can't even interpret it is just purely fucking diabolical to me, I want that for nobody.

How do you feel about people self-diagnosing themselves with disorders? Hear me out: it depends. In MOST CASES, I absolutely hate this, especially when the person acts like it is stone-hard fact while holding an unconvincing amount of evidence. However, there are plenty of people who just don't have access to doctors capable of properly diagnosing, and then there's also worth mentioning that you know you more than anybody else does. Just depends on a lot.

Undiagnosed Autism-spectrum disorder in The Michells Vs The Machines

I'm sure that more well educated people have put two and two together in this film but I really, really want to put my own spin on it from my experience. For me, as an aspie, film is one of my biggest interests. I love studying and more than anything I love watching and rewatching films. My latest favorite movie was one that I just watched last night for my family movie night, The Michells Vs The Machines. I also went 17 years of my life asking myself the same question that both Rick and his daughter ask each other, what is wrong with him/her?

Well, I'll tell you, in my firmly undiagnosed autistic opinion for far too long, that this family is full of people with undiagnosed autism spectrum disorder. When I was watching it with my parents my mom made the comment that "the dad was a jerk" and maybe "he just didn't love his daughter enough to let her be her own person." I thought that was so not seeing the bigger picture even though it was only fifteen minutes into the film. I have felt like Katie so much with my own dad. My dad is a computer nerd and a physics major for those of you that don't talk to me very often. That means in laminas terms that he's extremely smart. Way smarter than I will ever be in my entire life. Both of my parents are insanely smart in their own rights. My mom is a CPA accountant. But that isn't what I wanted to talk about here. I want to discuss the effect of undiagnosed autism and what it can do to a whole family when they all have it and just don't know that they do. This will probably go on for quite some time so you may stop here or read below the cut because this also has the probablity of getting super, duper personal.

We'll start with Katie! To me, Katie is one of the most relatable characters that I have ever come across. She's a film nerd, which alone has made her supremely relatable as somebody who is thinking about going into a degree in film studies. I am more of a critic of film than somebody who wants to make her own film but nonetheless, there were SO many little moments that I related to. The first thing that I personally noticed and related to was the stimming technique that Katie has. She chews on her hoodie strings. As somebody who has chewed on the drawstrings of hoodies far too often long before I was officially put into the Aspergers box. Aspies are also known to stick with one "special interest" for the rest of their lives if it's one that is wide enough and varied enough to make it applicable. For Katie, that's film. For me that's animation. I appreciated that little detail of most of her dialogue being references to other films because as a lover of films and movies in general I could go for days on just fumes and movie references that nobody else understands. The little things from her hair being perpetually messy (same that's a whole ass mood like I just learned over quarantine how to tye my own hair back), only having one earring in her ear at all times, the way that she dresses and draws on her own hands, this was just me when I was first in high school. I was one of the few people that wore shorts underneath all my skirts/dresses. Everyone who knew about looked at me like I had grown a third eyeball.

Aaron, the younger brother, also just oozes spectrum lil buddy out of his every pore from his being. I do think that they should have picked somebody capable of doing a bit of a younger sounding voice (I know what they were going for, but like Ben Schwartz has become a huge deal in both voice acting and live action before switching mediums.) His special interest is actually quite a common one, he loves dinosaurs. I've met a bunch of people on the spectrum that are fascinated by dinos and what they meant for the world as well as the universe as a whole. To me, there was one scene specifically that was the scene where Katie was lightly teasing him when they were going to the half assed dinosaur extravaganza. For me, this was SO relatable because both of my parents will mess with me about my interests most of the time it's when we go to Disneyland, they'll tell me that we actually aren't going to land of magic but to Timbuckto (hopefully one day they'll say some place else just to switch things up.) I related so hard to Aaron's protesting and whining in this scene since that is always my reaction to doing something that I want to do but get told that I can't do that thing.

Linda is more of your traditional mom but I think that she's on the spectrum as well. Just a more... normalized version as opposed to her family. She's able to be a teacher, she's able to interact somewhat normally around her neighbors. If anything, she reminded me of my own mom. This independent, takes nobody's trash (especially not her husband's), strong minded, and amazing mother who is completely in control of everything. She knows the special interests of her children and is constantly thinking of what will make them happy. Whether it be taking a detour for something dinosaur related, reminding her daughter that her dad loves her no matter what, and even something as simple as watching something that her daughter made and put her heart and soul into. I can't tell you how many times my mom has watched something with me. She watched my first anime Soul Eater with me when I was 12 and ever since then has been trying to get me to watch other shows with her. She's a lot like Linda, your loving, but firm mother who just wants her family to work things out.

Whew boy. This one is going to be probably where I cry. Comparing my dad to Rick is... something that I did consistently when I was watching the film. He's the strong but silent type usually, unless your me and he's just this constant annoyance when I'm trying to do something. He could be seen as just a "Jerk" but I think that is the undiagnosed aspie talking. Rick and Katie just struggle so hard to see eye to eye because their special interests can't intersect to save their lives. This, this hurt me because so often I struggle to relate to my dad. Especially when he talks to me about computers or physics. Now I took physics but without having been in quarantine and having him as my live in tutor I would have failed, not gotten an A. This has resulted me in saying things that I don't mean in the heat of the moment when we do argue. It doesn't happen nearly as much as it used to back when I was in middle school but when it happened it was because of one thing. I lied. I used to lie a lot because I felt so unworthy of being his daughter because on my best days I am not technically smart. You want to know how many nations of the world there were in 1991 when the original Animaniacs was airing? You want to hear my Dot Warner impression? Did you ever wonder how to recognize a specific voice when your watching anime? Have you ever had to watch a panel of your favorite anime voice actor just to laugh at something? No, well I did. But ever since I have started taking a quarter off from community college I have realized something. I am not technically smart. I struggle at learning the rules for math. My dad can do this with his eyes closed but me, I struggle and look like a complete moron. It took years for my dad and I to see eye to eye. Sometimes I still wonder if I was the product of some laboratory experiment of what would happen if two intelligent people came together, fell in love, and expecting that the daughter was smart I was the reject. Watching this movie with my dad I saw so much of my relationship with him on the screen. Struggling to relate to one another, fighting and getting into arguments about petty things, and not being able to be in the same room as one another without heated words because I didn't get him.

The scene that I related to the most when it was in terms of how much Katie just doesn't understand her dad was after he was nabbed by the machines. When Aaron asked her why she said those things to their dad and her simple answer was "I don't know." This. This right here was when I saw me. So many times I've gotten into heated arguments with my dad when he has simply annoyed me at the wrong time and I've just blown up in his face. Then I regret my actions and not know how to apologize for losing my temper with him because "I don't know" just doesn't seem like a nearly acceptable answer. I felt this in my soul because it happened especially often before I was diagnosed.

When I was diagnosed, things started to get better with my dad and I. We haven't had a fight in nearly four years now. He watches cartoons with me now to try and relate to me, it's mostly Pinky and The Brain but it's more than I could have ever asked for. I love my dad so much, more than anything in the entire world. This movie is so, so good at telling a story about how a family of undiagnosed aspie's and people on the spectrum struggle to relate to one another because their special interests are different.

Special interests and family's are especially difficult and I applaud this movie so loud because of the way that it was able to treat the subject matter with integrity and honesty. I'm sorry if this analysis got a little bit long in the toof but thank you for sticking with me! I really hope that if you watched the film you loved my analysis.

[headgehug]

[darkurgediary]

For the fairytale asks: 4, 11, 15, 17, 19, 20? (Could be all or just the ones you feel like doing! ^^)

I love these!! Thank you so much for asking 🥰🥰🥰

4. When picking a suitor, would you test their wit, their intelligence or their kindness? (Bonus: how?)

I would test kindness. There are two ways I'd go about testing them, I think. To me animals and children are very telling when it comes to a person's character. So whatever sort of test I'd do, it would involve those two.

11. As part of the Fae folk - What name would you tell mortals if they tried to find out yours?

I would rotate between multiple! To quote the Faun from Pan's Labyrinth- "I've had many names", I'd be insanely cryptic with it, think of it like solving a rubics cube.

15. Which painting best describes what your personal fairytale would look, feel, taste like?

I don't know that I have a specific painting, in terms of style though, largely I'd say Victorian era fairy paintings. In terms of specific painters I'd say anything by John anster fitzgerald, Thomas Kinkade, Brian Froud, and Sir Frank Dicksee!

17. Which magical item would you want to own - A magic mirror, a heart-shaped book or a golden key?

I'm going to say the heart shaped book, because the first thought that came to mind was the book fills itself with your hearts desire. But it's not obvious with it, it weaves a story, and you have to read it and figure out the meaning for yourself.

19. What scent would fill the air to hint that you’re near?

I'm gonna say lavender and honey! I really love lavender anything, plants, candles. And I consume honey on a daily basis either on toast or tea, so I feel like they're a good combination 🥰

20. You leave the safety of your family’s home and go brave the dangers and adventures of the world. What do you seek - Love, Self-Fulfillment or Glory?

I've never been one for spotlight, so definitely not glory. Mmmm, honestly? As much of a hopeless romantic that I am, I'd say self-fulfillment. I'd rather feel whole on my own than fill it with someone or something else.

[myotp-ruinedmylife]

I want to expand on this.

Now, I will not say my parents were perfect, because they weren't, but one of the best parenting things they ever did was tell me the truth when I asked for it.

Sometimes, it can lead to really awkward situations, like the time I was reading my biology book when I was six, got to the pages on reproduction, and asked my parents for clarification. They told me the scientifics of it, so it wasn't a sex talk per se, but that didn't make it much better when I told all my classmates the next day at school. (So many angry phone calls from parents. Sorry, mom and dad!)

But do you know what I've never been ashamed of because of this? Sex.

Another example would be my mom's excellent decision making regarding alcohol when I was a child. She had a very European view of it, so I have stories of getting sips of beer as a toddler and drinking wine from my mom's wine glass growing up. I was 15 when they gave me my first glass of champagne, and when I was 17 and stole their mini liquor bottles and used them with a friend they just laughed it off. Here's where things get interesting: we have a long family history of addiction, particularly alcoholism. Most parents in my mom's shoes would have tried to keep their child away from alcohol entirely. But by removing the mystery, she made it less enticing. I knew what alcohol was like. I knew it tasted bad and I knew it could get you drunk by the time I was 5. It wasn't interesting, because I already knew everything.

Nowadays, I don't drink alcohol at all. The last time I did was a sip of champagne when Biden was inaugurated. My brother does drink, but in moderation.

Similar story with marijuana, only it started after it was medically legalized in my state which wasn't until I was a teenger. But when it became available, my aunt (who ran a dispensary) would provide for my cousins and me and she and my mom both agreed that it was for the better - because teenagers are going to get into shit like that, and if my aunt was the one giving it to us, then we weren't getting it off the street. We didn't have to worry about quality or it being cut or anything, which made it all the safer. And by being the ones to provide in the first place, they made it explicitly clear we could indulge around the grown-ups from time to time without getting in trouble. And that meant they could also monitor us to make sure we didn't do anything dangerous.

I got a DARE education in health class, but my parents sat me down just before I went to high school and told me, explicitly, which drugs they were okay with me experimenting with (mostly just weed and shrooms), what they weren't okay with me experimenting with and why (e and coke), and what I was never allowed to go anywhere near and why (meth and heroine). This may sound insane to tell a 14-year-old, but it worked.

I also want to say something from the other side now, as I am also a childcare worker.

Kids are way smarter than you realize.

Look, kids might seem dumb sometimes, but I feel like too many people equate children as similar to like, dogs, when in reality they are just very inexperienced people. They have all the intelligence of an adult, if not more, but they have no experience to draw on yet. But kids are tiny sponges and they will pick up on anything and everything you try to hide from them eventually. It's always been my policy to treat children with the same respect I treat adults (that's a lie, I respect kids way more) and just because you have to change your vocabulary when talking to a child doesn't mean you have to change what you're saying.

Do children deserve protection? Absolutely. I've simply always believed that sheltering them doesn't protect them at all. Not in the long run.

I think there’s an argument to be made that protecting the children from relatively tame shadows of adults concepts actually makes things worse for them.

Like nothing is worse for me as an adult than the entirely unwarranted and unwanted sense of fear or scandalization from perfectly common stuff. And I don’t blame some wonderful TV show for using the word “fuck” or showing a nipple. My responses to those things are entirely constructed and cultural, and those shows are often doing me a kindness by giving me a context in which to safely re-examine them and my relationship to them.

And I just think actually there were a lot more opportunities to have a well adjusted outlook on life for the kids whose parents just told them what fuck meant.

Knave of Hearts: Question 1; There is a holiday named Thricewane.

Tark: *laughs*

Knave of Hearts: Why is it called Thricewane?

Tark: We all just fucking giggle as [something] Thricewane.

Eudora: *mimes ringing the bell*

Tark: Can I make a history check?

DM: Eudora dinged.

Eudora: Eudora dings.

DM: This is first come, first serve, friends. This is an open-note test, this is for player knowledge.

Hunt (OOC): Ooh.

Tark (OOC): Oh, well then fuck. jk

Eudora: It's called Thricewane because it's commemoratin' the merging of three planes.

Knave of Hearts: Correct. I will give you one, an extra if you can tell me which three planes.

Eudora: I believe it was the Material Plane, this here plane that we're on right now, and was it... Shadowfell?

Knave of Hearts: Yes, very good. Two points to Carmilla.

DM: Let me write this down because this is actually point based.

Tark (OOC): Man, I'm so proud of you. I have no thoughts, no knowledge, no nothing. Nyessa's over here freaking right off the bat.

DM: Mm-hmm.

Tark (OOC): I'm so proud.

Eudora (OOC): I remember it because the name and the history behind it, it's neat.

Hunt (OOC): I second-guessed myself.

Marigold (OOC): Oh no.

Knave of Hearts: While we're on the topic, upon Thricewane there is a tradition known as The Knocking what are the words that are exchanged traditionally in this?

Nathaniel (OOC): Oh you mentioned this!

Hunt (OOC): Ah fuck!

Tark (OOC): And this is player knowledge, we can't---

DM: It's an open-note test, but it is player knowledge.

Hunt (OOC): Honestly, I don't think I wrote anything on it.

Tark (OOC): I know. Oh god damnit.

DM: This is legit lore trivia.

Tark (OOC): You make up half the shit. How are we supposed to know?

DM: You gotta listen to me when I talk.

Tark (OOC): Gaaah! *laughing*

-repeating the question-

Hunt: May I make an Intelligence check on this?

DM: You may.

Nathaniel: I will also make a check.

DM: Make a history check, or no this would technically be Society I guess? You could use history if you wanted to if that's better?

Hunt: Well it's the same. *rolls* 10.

Nathaniel: *rolls* I got a 17.

DM: I will say with a 17 'cause ya'll would know this, especially Nathaniel being a normal person. I guess you have a normal family comparatively, which is insane.

Nathaniel (OOC): Amelia did also love folklore.

DM: This is true. I will---

Nathaniel: He probably participated in Thricewane all the time. I probably loved Thricewane as a kid.

-going over whether to let Crow have the point or everyone roll Initiative with INT to see who would know it. We decide Crow gets it-

Nathaniel: *sees what Swan sent* Oh, do I, is the Knave looking for all of these?

DM: Yeah, that's the words exchanged.

Nathaniel: Oh, great. ding. "You knock thrice and the person inside the door says “Someone is here on this long dark night?” the knocker says, “May I come in and sit by your fire?” “Be on your way, the fire won’t warm you.” “May I come in and rest my old bones?” “Be on your way the road is calling.” “May I come in and sit down beside you?” “Be on your way, you are not welcome here.”"

Knave of Hearts: Very well done Bysmark. One point or you.

Hunt (OOC): As a player, I have no memory of that.

DM: That's fine.

Audence Isben (OOC): [in chat] THAT IS AMAZING

DM: This is all taken from, I believe, notes I have shared with people.
