“You shouldn’t care what those terrible people think” is well meaning but honestly the most useless comfort or advice there is because the problem is not that you want the approval of those terrible people, the problem is that they ever came to exist at all. It’s horrible for people to exist who think unreasonable hateful things about you, or someone you care about, or any group of people that you know are actually innocent. Knowing they’re wrong isn’t a comfort, because the fact that they’re wrong IS what’s disgusting and awful. There is genuinely nothing in the world that makes it feel better other than for bad people to change for the better or stop existing.

Millions of people out there in the world: don’t know you but literally believe you should die

Your apolitical stoner friend: “why does that bother you I don’t get it”

[There is a knock at the door, and I open it.]

ANXIETY: Hello.

ME: Hello.

ANXIETY: May I come in?

ME: No, I would prefer if you didn’t today.

[I feel a tap on my shoulder, turn around, and see ANXIETY standing behind me.]

ANXIETY: Ta-da!

If I had a nickel for every time the Intrepid Heroes had an online banking session during a dnd campaign, I would have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happens twice.

i genuinely believe this might be the biggest party of losers d20 has ever given us, and that’s truly saying a lot

like, they understood the assignment. they understood that true cyberpunk ultra-capitalist sci-fi isn’t really about the epic quests and heroes. sometimes the space opera is about a bunch of losers who are struggling with endless amounts of debt on a ship that’s falling apart around them. sometimes it’s getting so caught up in anger that you post your own revenge nudes on the same account you were using to try and incite a rebellion. sometimes it’s about personhood and agency and trying to find your own purpose and willpower in a galaxy that’s full of people with more power and money trying to take it away from you. sometimes it’s about completely fucking up a very simple conversation about getting work contracts that ends with you all teaming up to beat the shit outta the guy and then immediately having to run away like 10min after arriving to the station without getting the chance to do the one thing you came here to do, which is fix the ship, so now you’re being chased with a broken ship because you started a fight and made a fool out of yourselves before you could actually get the chance to do the thing.

like. they’re all just a bunch of losers. and that’s honestly the only way we should be watching a sci-fi campaign

starstruck has my favorite combats of any intrepid heroes season and that may be due to the fact that emailing and networking are integral to every single one. oh you just swerved this ship out of certain death? great, i just contacted our union in the midst of battle and it was just as effective. have fun with your slugs and super computers, i'm taking advantage of space capitalism and exploiting the business interests of space disney
