Apparently this has the remaining chemists all in his menchies right now due to cis being a Latin term meaning "on the same side" I.e. Cis-alpine, cis-isomer etc.

my best friend from high school is a chemist and when he joined an LGBT group in college, the first question from the people there (for whatever insane reason) no context no lead-up was "cis or trans?"

and he, as a good chemist was like "oh trans of course" ("because it's more stable" he said to me later) and the people were like "yay cool!" and he hung out with them for MONTHS with them thinking he was either a trans girl or trans guy (he is neither, just very short and ambiguous). until it came up again when someone was like "wow cool we're all transgender at this table" and he's like "but I'm not???"

they got very upset and accused him of lying to them to join the group?? (he is gay) and then he remembered that very first conversation and was like, oh motherfucker.

this is the same friend who got hit on by a lesbian in Toys R Us because she thought he was a butch girl. until he was like "oh yeah I'm getting a gift for my boyfriend" and she was like, "oh my god I'm so sorry, I thought you were gay!!"

and he's like, "I am..."

and she goes "...you mean, you're bisexual?"

and he goes "...no...just gay..."

and this back and forth continues until it slowly dawns on them both that this girl completely mistook his gender and she is so DEEPLY mortified. and my friend starts trying to console her like "oh well I admire your gumption, you're very brave for asking me out, never give up!!"

a DnD item that should exist:

the Brown Bag of Plenty

The Brown Bag of Plenty looks like an ordinary brown paper sack lunch. Once per day, a PC may use it to provide a healthy and nutritious lunch to each member of the party. All lunches consist of the following (with substitutions for allergies and other dietary restrictions):

  • One peanut butter (or other nut butter in case of allergy) and jelly sandwich on wheat bread. Type of jam is randomized, with grape and strawberry most common. Sandwich will be cut diagonally.
  • One juice box, also randomized.
  • One bunch green grapes
  • One packet carrot sticks
  • One packet crunchy snack food (most commonly potato chips, but flavors are randomized and other types of chips, crackers, veggie puffs, popcorn, etc are also possible)
  • One packet cookies (most commonly chocolate chip or Oreo-like sandwich cookie)

Eating a lunch from the Brown Bag of Plenty will restore 1d6 hit points for each item consumed. This effect will not take place unless the fresh fruit and vegetables are eaten — i.e., eating the cookies alone will have no effect, but after eating the grapes and carrot sticks 3d6 hit points may be restored.

If the PC enters a body of water within 45 minutes of consuming a lunch from the Brown Bag of Plenty, they will lose 1d6 hit points for each item consumed.

In addition to providing 1 healthy lunch per character per day, the Brown Bag of Plenty will also dispense orange slices (2 per PC) after combat, with the same 1d6 effect as its lunches.

:D what a neat item!

Idea: Recently, the player characters have been finding personalized notes included with each and every lunch. "Good luck with the wizard council! You've got this interview... in the bag!" or perhaps "Go get 'em, tiger! You're the best druid there is." Are they coming from the bag itself? Are they signed? That's up to you as the DM. Maybe a would-be Warlock patron or quest giver is reaching out through this interplanar lunch portal.

It’s already happening. Like guys I cannot emphasize this enough the studios are going to make content creators the deal of a lifetime because they have a void to fill and those content creators will then be on the do not work list for the rest of their professional lives.

I want more villains who care about their henchmen. I wanna see the bad guy fly into a rage because the hero hurt their very favorite bungling goon and it was nearly his birthday.

"how dare you fail me you miserable oafs!!" should be retired. "How DARE they bully my adorable oafs!!!" should be industry standard.

Underlings having to hold back their dark lord like an overprotective parent because they don't really want a famous hero to get outright murdered just on their behalf.

I had to draw something

I don’t want to go ‘realism in fiction’ bc we all know how much of a dogwhistle that can be. But it really always bothers me that this isn’t the norm. Like, how the fuck do all these dark lords and evil empresses and what not keep any minions or lieutenants or what not around?

Literally, what is stopping them from just walking to Hero and going ‘I surrender, get me the hell away from this asshole!’ when most Heros will immediately turn them in a redemption story and all.

Like, how they hell do the villains keep anyone working for them without a solid health plan, 401K, and recreational facilities? Isn’t that the minimum. Has no one actually read Machiavelli?

Indeed; one of my least favorite tropes is the whole "I don't need you anymore" bit, where a villain backstabs a fellow villain working beneath them, which inevitably ends up with the betrayed villain aiding the heroes in order to spite the big bad.

Luckily, I can just draw something that cuts that bullshit out!
