Empress of Mars: Undisputed @zebratron2084@awoo.space

@Leucrotta Thank you! I think I've even got everything on hand but the sesame seeds...

@Leucrotta i love spinach, what do you do with it?

@Leucrotta This is a perfectly straightforward question, and I'm saying it because I genuinely am not sure... Isn't it?

I guess you could rack up a lot of calories from the oil, and starch from potatoes and such, plus they're probably pretty high in sodium. OK, yeah, that does make sense, you're probably right.

Now I wanna go look at banchan recipes.

I just saw both kittens pooping at once, each in one of our two litter boxes, butt to butt and facing away from each other. It was the cutest gross thing I've ever seen.

@001zlnv @Phorm @JulieSqveakaroo for me? off the scale sexy.

for the record, the three canonical major Vexalyne soda brands in Parallax are "Warm," "Meh," and "Uncle Fluffy's Tuna* Soda"

* now comes in salmon, herring, and sea urchin!

@Phorm @JulieSqveakaroo

Yeah, I have real similar weaknesses.

I mean... rayguns. Even if they do have lethal purpose. Put enough flanges and wibblers on them and they're like 6 kDansons.

Although strangely, now that you mention it, i found Michael Caine wielding a shotgun in Get Carter INCREDIBLY sexy. but it's all about the way he wielded it. subtlety and reserve are much sexier than martial bravado or steely resolve in my whole kinkmath.

@kauko @balinares OK, that's a relief. I never touched the forums. Still gonna change some passwords...

@balinares Nah, I filtered that one out ages ago, in favor of something far more snarky. :)

@balinares This would have been an utter disaster for me four years ago when I was using Kincaid's password for absolutely everything. :)

Yikes nonetheless, though. Still a scary though that they'd even be on any hacker's radar.

@JulieSqveakaroo @Phorm Fascinatingly, a sword or axe is only maybe 250 milliBuscemis' worth of unsexy, even though the people they're used on end up just as dead, further evidence I shouldn't make a moral thing out of this. And a dagger is even less, maybe even running into the 100-150 milliDanson* range.

and of course a woman with a trebuchet, mangonel, catapult, or onager is just sexy as hell. same goes for a nuclear missile (cf. Tetsuo, Arial).

(*this of course is the SI unit of being unexpectedly sexy despite utter antiquation)

@JulieSqveakaroo @Phorm Yeah, I've never seen anything toxic or pathological or hateful about any of his work -- and I can even objectively, sociologically understand how a perfect goodnatured person would be fascinated with guns.

Rik taught me a lot about that: they're admittedly kinda neat in the same way that I find old vending machines super-neat. They're mechanical and fiddly and have a lot of culture around them. I don't think arming Equestrians is necessarily a sign of a bad personality trait or anything, especially since I know Fallout: Equestria is a real and very well-rounded thing, though I've kinda ignored it otherwise.

I even like guns a whole lot when I'm behind my laptop and there are things made of pixels trying to kill me. :) But then, say, Nuclear Throne and Enter the Gungeon arguably have the exact opposite of machismo behind their portrayals of being armed... (And I was always more of a Shovel/Casey/melee kinda gal anyhow.)

I just find them substantially unsexy. Like, a cigar rates something like 1500 milliBuscemis and a gun is maybe 500-800 depending on the context.

@Sig NO! MUST BE ONE WORD! WORD ME! WORD NOW! 🐯​🐯​​​

(no, that's wonderful to hear, thank you so much 😽​ i had missed you so much when we were out of touch, so glad we found each other again <3 )

(i mean, don't get me wrong, between the top layer and bottom layer are some parts of me that really like the idea of rending some motherfucker into bloody scraps -- i am a CAT ffs -- but it's all sandwiched between parts that would be very sad to have to actually really do it)

(which is why outright psychological torture sounds like such a lovely alternative for trump apologists.)

(am cat. sorry not sorry. also are you gonna eat all of that thing you're eating)

You know what I'd really like for Christmas? A Russian psyops 101 textbook.

I am absolutely dead fucking serious. Anybody know where I can get my hands on one in translation?

I am not a violent person, deep down, but damn am I up to harm some Trumpist motherfuckers' "souls."

and yeah, to follow through on the laika bit, i thought about it and for some reason an assassin armed with a _discreet_ implement of death doesn't trigger the same reaction. i don't think i'd react the same to, say, a femme fatale noir fluttershy poisoning someone, or rainbow dash shoving a trenchcoated octavia off a bridge in downtown Bridleslava at 2 am

and i guess i did have one paramilitary character, but he didn't go much of anywhere, and he was an otter modeled after Subcomandante Marcos of the Chiapas Rebellion so i mean shame on those who would think ill of it... Arjuna was really more the "get shot at on the barricades and not care" type than the "shoot at" type anyhow.

whether arjuna was, like the good subcomandante claims in RL about him, just a hologram all along remains to be determined. it sure would explain how his plushie version ends up in such weird places.

@Phorm I know EXACTLY who you're talking about, and yeah, that's the one. Seems like a nice enough guy and, hey, I put up with Rik's military fetish for 15 years (though to be fair, Rik "likes" military imagery the same way I "like" Elder Gods, body horror, and parasitic wasps: morbid awe). But yeah, feels like it's indulging something that the Mane Six and their personalities were intentionally written to NOT represent...

@Phorm i mean given i am currently trying to revive rot13 as a way of sneaking sedition under twitter's radar <3

your kink is still ok but personally i am so weary of seeing anthro my little ponies with firearms

honestly i just feel a little weary any time i see any armed furry

this is not meant to be normative in the least; i have friends with absolutely delightful ex-mil characters and i'm not even that anti-gun in rl

it's a purely hindbrain-level aesthetic reaction and not a moral or objective judgment at all

but come to think of it, i don't think i've ever played a single soldier character, ever, that i can recall

(rez makes a big display of being a conquering empress but really a martian invasion is more just like "your goofy cousin shows up with a ton of sushi, occupies your house for four days, drinks all your booze and eats all your catnip, and goes home." the main volume of martian military doctrine is "the tiger who came to tea.")

(oh and noelle likes to dress up in rainbow pastel camouflage and run around with a paint gun making things pretty against their will, but i don't think that really counts either)

(okay and maybe laika [REDACTED] four mi-6 agents [REDACTED] bratislava [REDACTED] piano wire but come on who hasn't done a little wetwork here and there)

(ok maybe i don't have any room to judge but it's still fucking weird and dissonant seeing rarity with an mp5)

*drowns in mewling, hopping, bapping, ricocheting kittens*

"Oh, yeah. That's the stuff."
