“A trapper needs to eat a halfling sized meal once per week,” uh is that “a meal the size of a halfling” or “”a meal big enough for a halfling”?

Late lunch or very late breakfast, depending on whether you consider a pastry as breakfast, at hyena shawarma.

@StormyDragon @Leucrotta (oh yeah and though this didn’t surface today, gender also connects to sex, which is another convoluted heap of issues for me. NOT easy topics.)

@StormyDragon @Leucrotta So gender, body image, self worth and safety, theoretically only tangentially connected, wind up as a complex tangle. Add in practical considerations (I have to play boy for my parents and employers, so THAT’S a resented externally imposed identity even if I’m 100% male; how could I afford HRT, when could I try out women’s clothes or pronouns, etc) and “I wish I could look pretty in a skirt like that” quickly becomes overwhelming, if that makes sense? ✂️

@StormyDragon @Leucrotta sorta typical; I wish I were a pretty girl (fine on its own) but that gets into how it’s specious for me to link gender to appearance.

I’ve been so completely trained I’m ugly I could look like Tilda Swinton or Tori Amos and never see myself as pretty; making myself pretty or accepting I can have prettiness while being ugly in other respects, gets into questioning worthiness (and, whether others will see me as “deserving” prettiness, womanhood or both). 🧵

Drawing cars, listening to Blue Oyster Cult singing about Elric and Me 262s. I feel like I’m 16 right now.

grumble grumble grumble I’M HAVING GENDER THOUGHTS!

"between a day with my parents and the work week" means that I want to spend today simultaneously not doing very much and exploring/drawing/reading. In addition, I'm kinda hungry, probably want a little more sleep, and really want a long very hot shower. There's just not enough time for it all!

I'M GOIN' TO UPPSALA

sweet dreams are made of these

FAR FROM THIS OPERA FOREVERMORE

who am I to disagree?

"We the people of Ardentia! We have suffered since you blasted our kingdom! I can offer you nothing this year except my loyalty."
"Prince Thon. We are delighted. And tell Us; how great is this loyalty to your Emperor?"
"Without measure!"

Klezmer songs all have names like “Drey Nokhts Freylich Im Odessa” and turn out to be about a forced conscript returning from the Tsar’s army to find that his fiancée has flung herself from a rooftop.

When fighting ninja, one must always loudly proclaim “Oh! Shinobi! Warrior of the night!” This will negate their stealth advantage, and they’ll be limited to doing backflips in slow motion while throwing shitiken, that sorta thing.

@amaranth@weirder.earth @Leucrotta Forest of Spirits, the next to last Jade Regent adventure. I was in a group that went through some of the adventure path but didn’t get that far. It’s… weird.

reading an old Pathfinder while on the pot, and it's so linear that I truly appreciate the late, great Jennell Jacquays for coming up with the concept of NON linear dungeons. But there are non-linear concepts all over the place here, so possibly they intended an obvious version OR lots of GM improvisation?

the AU in which thanks to the success of Bladerunner, Harrison Ford played Eddie Valiant in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"

problems cooking with okra are; it's hard to find the small and therefore more flavorful okra, and a little bit goes a long way and okra almost always comes in Oh You're Making Brunswick Stew For 30 Folk sizes.

time to put on some appropriate D&D drawin' music
