Oh my god I’m so honored lets see how many posts exactly
ok. thanks tumblr
dril and xkcd are at opposite ends of a spectrum slowly working to collaboratively post about every possible topic
The fun thing about watching gameplay trailers for games you've already played is spotting all the moments where they clearly chose a particular move for how cool it looks and not for whether it's actually a good idea under the circumstances shown, then carefully cut the footage exactly 0.5 seconds before the player character eats dirt.
on a scale of 0 to 9 how much have you thought about your gender
I have officially unlocked Cis+ by spending over a decade as a tomboy getting bullied for everything I did and didn't do, because nothing offends middle-schoolers more than "girl bad at being girl". Did some regular self-examination and concluded that the problem wasn't that my gender didn't fit, it was that people kept bombarding me with arbitrary rules that made no sense and claiming I had to follow them BECAUSE I was a girl, when in actuality I can do whatever I want forever and be a girl. Took a few stress dreams about growing a beard before I was absolutely certain I wasn't a trans man, though.
Y'know now that you say that I imagine most some of your characters will feel like that at one point, just because none of them are exactly "normal"
Supposed to be a shell, holding back cosmic forces x2, used to literally not have a soul, fire 'monster', and cat boy

@comicaurora whuh oh
don't worry guys, erin has a GREAT track record against black-and-purple eldritch nightmares
favourite underrated part of the locked tomb is how in gideon, everyone fights w swords and magic, so we the audience are just like, okay this is how things are in this universe, there are no guns, it’s all swords and magic, neat! and then in harrow, wake has a gun, but every non-lyctor who sees wake’s gun considers it a weird and ancient weapon, so we the audience are like, okay so there used to be guns in this universe. and the characters are vaguely aware of what they are, but they’ve become pretty much obsolete, which gives wake’s ghost this terrifying old-school vibe, cool!…
and then we come to nona, and everyone and also their mother has a gun, and we the audience are like, oh. we’ve been seeing all this through the aristocratic space catholic sword-and-magic cultists who are only a small and also kind of brainwashed part of what’s going on in this universe, and there’s been a whole gritty, grounded space dystopia going on this entire time with absolutely fascinating worldbuilding, political, and urban warfare elements, neat! but the whole time nona is only interested in patting everyone’s dogs.
The modern Church: learn what personal revelation feels like for you! gain a testimony!
Queer saints: okay I did and I learned that God loves me for who I am, and that my orientation and gender (or lack thereof) are divine in His sight!
The modern Church: not like that!!!!
This is the most important response to “AI is going to replace all the jobs”

this was, verbatim, the topic of my final paper for a class last year. it’s such an astoundingly easy concept to grasp that not a lot of people even think about

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
