"Denial is a seductive mistress. And she's in my bed every night" has to be a great way to introduce the idea of being aromantic to people, so thanks for that!

i think one of the first times i realized i was aro(while immediately denying it) was when, a few years ago, a friend of mine kept hinting that she was poly and that she dates people other than her bf all the time. and she’s very flirty, literally with everyone, so i didn’t really think anything of it, until she started hinting at dating me.

and even though i was flattered and she’s great, like, dating her romantically would probs be amazing, i felt a little grossed about it. not by her. just the thought of dating with romantic intent. and so i played oblivious and pretended i didn’t hear any implications in what she was saying.

it surprised me at the time, bc here is someone i’m friends with, who’s funny and cute and very romantic if her bf has any say, and obviously attracted to me and was willing to date me, or at least fuck tbh, and all i could think about was how i needed to change the convo right now.

denial is a seductive mistress. and she’s in my bed every night.

If followed, the only letters left are "o-p"

Hm, I was pondering about the recent-ish trope of Adventuring Guilds (effectively trade unions for protagonists in fantasy rpg-inspired settings, which I’m sure I’ve seen in a bunch of things but the main example that springs to mind is Goblin Slayer to my annoyance but the Hero Association in One Punch Man has a similar albeit superhero-slanted deal), and how mechanically in the setting they exist to ensure x reward is provided for x amount of work/danger involved but in a meta sense are there so the characters don’t have to go looking for heroing gigs on ye olde Craigs Lyst or something.

It’s an interesting idea, similar in a manner to the many fantasy trope-tinged guilds in the Discworld novels of the late great Terry Pratchett, although an amusing idea occurred to me with the idea of trade unions for fantasy heroes.

Like, if there are unions to ensure employment and fair pay for folks clearing out dungeons, getting gnolls out the cabbage patch, stopping gnomes from going through your bins, and so on, then, logically, there much exist fantasy hero scab workers as well.

Folks that the local king or something brings in for lower pay on more dangerous jobs. Folks who are, say, completely new to the setting, out of their depth, and are thrust into a dangerous situation by a seemingly benevolent authority figure because said authority figure is too cheap to hire someone who understands the risks involved and asks more suitable wages for the role…

Y’know…

Fun fact: Cats rubbing themselves on u means they like u, so yes this is what I want

The allos don’t get it when I’m like, “attracted” to someone, cause they’re just like “oh, a crush” NO. ITS DIFFERENT I don’t want to kiss them or smth they just have good vibes so I want to rub up against them like a cat

I have been thinking about this, fish soup is ironic, what do I mean by that? A fish lives in water right? And we take them out of water only to put there carcass in slightly warmer, tastier water

Pokemon SWSH - Allister Headcanons (General)

This is my first post and my first time writing for characters so please forgive me if I'm all over the place haha...Allister is such a sweetheart and I really regret not getting Shield just because he's not a Sword charater :(

Anyway, it's a given that he's really introverted.

His Gengar acts as a parental figure for him. Hear me out.

I don't know much about his family life but right now I assume that his parents weren't in the picture much. So I think Gengar would have taken that role for him.

Given that his best friends are ghosts, he never really learned to socialize with other people.

He's actually a really sweet kid, he's just introverted and doesn't know how to put his thoughts into words.

Which leads me to believe that he likes art. Specifically abstract art because it doesn't have to have a definite form. It's whatever he wants, and that is a comfort to Allister.

He would never show his drawings to anyone though. Only his Pokemon, *maybe* a close friend if you're lucky

Night owl FOR SURE

Loves looking up at the stars, definitely has a space dedicated to astronomy books and stuff

I saw this somewhere online and thought it was really cute - his mask is based off of Cursola :)

Gets overstimulated easily, especially during battles at the Ghost Gym. His pokemon would help him calm down and get to a quiet place after

Probably is at least a little into witchy stuff - has a small altar for little trinkets and offerings

I respect your opinion, but please explain as I am legitimately curious as to why you dislike Luigi's mansion 4

don't be reckless and post exactly what you think about luigi's mansion 4 on the internet. people will read what you have to say about luigi's mansion 4. keep those thoughts analog

As we approach college finals in the U.S. I feel it's important to remind people that no level of school failure is worth killing yourself over. Some failures have consequences. Some failures change the course of your life. But I promise it's not over.

If a career path you wanted to follow has closed because of your grades, it's ok to mourn. It's normal to be upset that goals you had are unattainable now, especially goals you've had for a long time. But you can recover. Even if you can't try again, you can find another path that's fulfilling.

If you want to keep forging down the path of academics, I'm rooting for you. Take the time you need to rest your brain. Remember that taking a semester, a year, or a few years off is normal and often healthy. Do what you need to face the next semester you take relaxed and ready.

If you've been bashing your head against the wall that is college and can't seem to make progress, it might be time to find a different path. No matter what people in your life are telling you, not getting a college education is not the end of the world. No one's approval is worth more than your life.

Every day dropouts and D students are living a life more beautiful than you could ever imagine. No amount of academic failure can take away the joy of being alive. If you're not feeling that joy right now, that's ok, but please hold on through this difficult time in your life. Things will get better.

This is specifically geared towards college students but definitely applies to anyone younger than that as well. This is not the end.

This funny
