when a mutuals struggling but you know you can't say anything to help so you just like their post and hope they know they're not alone
sometimes dnd archetypes annoy me because like. at the core of a paladin oath it's being so dedicated to something it gives you superpowers
they're not christian camp counselors or cops they're fucking autistic
I know this is a meme but Paladins are genuinely one of the most flavour-rich classes in the game.
An oath is a fascinating cornerstone of characterisation simply because a person, for whatever reason, has been driven to condense their permanent identity into a few words. It's this immovable pillar of their character magically anchored to the core of their being, and what's more? It's by choice.
You don't fall into a Paladin oath the way you might with a Warlock pact & nowhere does it say an oath's power has to be granted by another entity.
Every character has a core, but Paladins chose theirs. Taking an oath is looking at one thing, anything and going this. this is worth it. I will take this into myself and swear never to stray from it and it will inform everything I have been and everything I am now and everything I will become in the future.
Imagine loyalty so extreme it produces its own divinity and tell me that isn't worthy of a story.

this is from a "manipulation advice" video and it's just so fucking funny to me. why didn't I think of responding to insults like this

gotta admit that i'm pretentious about gen1s in the sense that i could never spend big money geneing a gen2+ dragon. especially not on something like a wildclaw or coatl breed change. i like how people can look at my projects and know at first glance that i worked hard for them. idk if that's weird or elitist, might be. i know people do spend a lot of time and money on their gen2s but you just can't tell the way you can with a gen1 and that bugs me a little
i found this game on steam and i need to share these reviews
this guy was so upset he got a refund^^^

bro, we wake up to come hang with you. we come over to hang out with you. we are here for you. bro.
I made this last year when reading Dracula Daily, but I was too much of a coward to post it. Now I am no longer held back by earthly matters such as "reputation".
This is the original text from the book, but wildly misinterpreted. enjoy
New Ea-nāṣir lore just dropped and I don't know how to feel about that. I hate the meme but the guy having thugs coming after him for bad copper sales is perfect.
Wait wait WAIT

So the building in Ur where the infamous tablet was found (1 “Old Street” Ur Excavations VII) was actually full of similar tablets, all detailing how badly this guy's deals went. All of these tablets were collected and put into storage at the British Museum. Typically this kind of thing gets forgotten about, many of these tablets have been sitting there for a century, untranslated or partially translated.
This was recently partially translated and it's incredibly fragmentary, but it's a letter from the man himself reassuring a customer in Larsa about a bad shipment (a lot of goods were missing). He is upset that the customer sent thugs to collect (which is located in a different tablet). In turn, he sends his own to the customer's home. They are to make offerings at the temple of Šamaš together to symbolically "smooth things over". They are taking an oath.
He later goes on to blame the customer for the missing ingots. He (Ea-nāṣir) decided to employ a third party to deliver said ingots to the customer (all the way in the next city-state in the Sumerian cultural sphere). It seems like the third party either stole or got into a fight with the customer over the goods.
Ea-nāṣir now has to haul his ass to Larsa to deal with this personally. There's a lot of "Why don't you believe me?" "They don't listen to me!" "Please don't send-" going on in the tablet. But from what I can gather it looks like this peace offering (making an oath at the temple of Šamaš) broke down too. Everyone is blaming each other for the missing copper ingots and now the man himself has to take the three-day journey to sort out this issue. We have a name for one of the thugs: Mr. Shorty (kurûm). He seems to be a bit scary. The man from Dilmun got kicked out of the Merchant's Guild for a reason, he's had this problem before with copper shipments from Elam. Either he's the world's worst judge of character or he's embezzling, and badly. This is his side hustle stage where he's selling everything from used clothing to speculating (badly) on real estate. He may have dabbled in money lending too. He's your classic failed finance bro.

you can have characters in your mind! But watch out
They will move in forever and they wont even pay rent
“It's just a small handful of ibuprofen, and it will help the words fade away."
No offense to modern Doctor Who but why does every companion stay in the TARDIS until some horrible life altering thing forces them to leave (death, trapped in a parallel universe, memories forcibly taken, etc.). I miss how in Classic Who most companions just said “Hey Doc, this has been fun but I think it’s time I went home” or “hey this planet is pretty cool, I think I’m going to stay here” and the Doctor was just like “okay cool, I’ll always remember you fondly, bye!”
Leaving aside the armchair psychoanalysis I see going on in the notes, some of the factors feeding into this are practical consequences of storytelling decisions made when Doctor Who was revived.
For instance: In modern Doctor Who the TARDIS goes, more often than not, where the Doctor tells it to.
In the old series, the TARDIS was largely ungovernable. When you stepped in, you could never be sure where you would step out. There was no guarantee you'd ever see your home again soon, or indeed at all. When a companion said "Hey Doc, this has been fun but I think it's time I went home", it was usually because the TARDIS was back in their own time and place for the first time since they'd come on board, and if they didn't take this chance to go home they might never get another one; when a companion said "hey this planet is pretty cool, I think I'm going to stay here" it was often because their chances of making a new home were better than their chances of finding their way back to their old one.
And either way, when the Doctor said goodbye and got in the TARDIS, he did so knowing that it would be the last time he saw them, because he couldn't come back to visit even if he wanted to.
The intractibility of the TARDIS created a natural break point in the story, a built-in reason why that character never showed up again once the actor left the series.
Modern Doctor Who doesn't have that.
What does "goodbye" mean when you can pop back and say hello again any time you like? What does "it's time I went home" mean when you're already going home every week to chat with your mum and borrow her washing machine? Amy and Rory actually did say "Hey Doc, this has been fun but I think it's time I went home" and then continued to be main characters in the series for another entire year. Clara went home at the end of every single episode (barring two-parters).
The operating parameters of modern Doctor Who erode the distinction between "I'm on an adventure" and "now the adventure is over" to the point that it needs a dramatic fate like death or being trapped in another universe to establish that the adventure is actually, really over now, we mean it, no take-backs. Companions in modern Doctor Who get written out like that because nothing less will stick.
