Player 1: Alright, we’ve got the rest of the turn to decide.
Player 2: The rest of our lives, depending on the answer!
This is a perfect example of why we need things designed for a variety of body types. Far too many plus-sized clothes are skinny clothes just made bigger, which rarely (if ever) have the desired effect. Not only do things not look the same in this context, it’s fair to say they were not designed (or redesigned) to look good on these different body shapes. The options are often mumus or things not really designed for you.
This man has come up with a variety of amazing outfits that look fantastic on his body. We need more of this.
I love you sir. You are gorgeous and we should say so.
yeah bro it's a character study. the 2 thousand words of blowjob is vital to the study of the character

This is a really poignant illustration of the seductive nature of glorifying war but that is a LOOK and she is SERVING it
In my Pathfinder group, we’ve decided that in goblin culture, each goblin chooses his name based on his favorite sound.
For example:
“My name is Scuss. It’s the sound my feet make when I walk through grass. Scussscussscussscuss.”
“My name is Shink. It’s the sound my sword make when I pull it out of the sheathe.”
Something I never hear anyone talk about in the 'why are Young Adults (late teens to early 30s) reading so much Young Adult (teens) fiction These Days' discussion is how surprisingly difficult it can be to transition from kids books to adult fiction.
And I don't mean in terms of content. Forget themes, characters, plots, etc. I'm talking pure practicality.
As a kid, most of the books you read are calibrated to you exactly. Your local library likely has a 'children's' section, and that section is likely split into smaller sub-sections based on age group. 0-5, 5-8, 8-12, teen. A lot of your interests and experiences are pretty easy to guess at based on average developmental stages (eg. most 16-18 year olds will relate to Coming Of Age stories), so it's probably pretty easy for you to walk into a bookshop or library and find a book aimed at you specifically.
But get to 18 (or younger) and start straying into the 'adult' section, and suddenly nothing is calibrated anymore. When people complain that all 'grownup fiction' is about white middle class heterosexual couples going through angsty divorces in their mid-forties, this is what they're complaining about. They can't find books they can personally relate to, or that are about topics that they are interested in.
And yeah, sure, books shouldn't have to be relatable to be good or enjoyable. But there's also nothing wrong with wanting to read a book about young people, when you're young. Or queer people, if you're queer. Or people from your particular culture, religion, or ethnicity.
Even if we ignore the relatability aspect entirely, there's also nothing wrong with wanting to read a fantasy book that isn't just 'Tolkien but drearier' or a sci-fi that wasn't written by some guy in the 1960s who thought that women were just another kind of alien.
The problem is, fundamentally, that finding the books you like amid the haystack is a skill that most people are not being taught.
As a result, when they get past YA and try using the old tricks of just picking up whatever is on the bestseller list at the moment, or whatever their local library is currently touting as their 'book of the week', they frequently end up with something that isn't suited to their tastes.
And maybe they love it and it opens up a whole new genre that they'd never considered, but more often they hate it but feel obliged to slog through because this is a 'grownup book' and they have decided they want to be a 'grownup reader'.
A few times being burned like this, and they come to the conclusion that all adult fiction is boring, and that the people who read it are all either mature geniuses of the type they could only hope to be, or slogging through like they were and only pretending to like it.
Thus they run back to the familiarity of YA—which is fine, to be clear, there's nothing actually wrong with reading YA as an adult— but there's every chance that somewhere on the bookshelves is a potential favourite author of theirs that they will now never know because they were never taught how to find them.
I bought an old safe food that I stopped buying because eating french bread with butter for every meal isn't healthy but damn is it fantastic and my partner still hasn't noticed because he's fallen into the new Baldersgate game and is grumpy whenever he isn't playing it so I might get away with having the whole loaf before he even asks what I've been up to.
“I’m not going to do the thing because I don’t view it as important.” ← Conscious decision made of your own free will.
“I want to do the thing because I view it as important, but trying to get myself to do the thing creates the same reaction as trying to put my hand on a hot stove would.” ← Executive dysfunction, a physical health problem that doesn’t answer to your own free will.
“Trying to get myself to do the thing creates the same reaction as trying to put my hand on a hot stove would. This must mean I don’t actually want to do the thing and I’m just tricking myself into thinking I do.” ← No, that’s still executive dysfunction, but you’re having brainworms about it.
See, I know what 'low key' means, and you know what 'low key' means, but the teenagers here seem to have developed a different usage of the phrase.
Taking their senior sports photos the other day and I'd show the image to them to get their approval. And their friends are saying 'low key I like that one' but with the excitement that is very not 'low key.' Like they're saying it with the same inflection as we'd say 'omg' or 'no lie.'
Which was a little confusing.
So I was like... so do you like it or not???
Language evolution is confusing.
I mean I've heard the new usage too in public, but really they're using nearly the same definition. Except the new def of 'low key' seems to mean 'this is a guilty pleasure - I prob shouldn't like this for whatever reason, but I do'. Versus the old def of, 'not flashy, keeping it humble'. Because the new gen is still being humble (at least moderately) about whatever is exciting them. It's just funny that they haven't reinterpreted 'high key' (as far as I know) to balance it out.
I mean... they weren't saying it like they were keeping it humble. Like a different generation would say 'squee,' so it just struck me as odd.
"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."
"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
I think this is something young people in particular are confused about. My dad has always had a slightly off color sense of humor, he always feels the need to privately ask me “boy turned girl or girl turned boy?” if I mention a friend and stress said friend’s pronouns, and yet when we had repair work done in the house and the worker was listening to a podcast discussing the evils of transgender people and how to cleanse society, he went out of his way to contact the owner of the business to discuss his disappointment with that worker’s conduct and stress the negative effect that could have had if there had been trans kids in our home.
Our allies will never be perfect. They will never use the perfect language or have the perfect politics. But we have to appreciate those allies and meet them where they are, especially if they are willing to learn.
