Even as a zelink shipper whenever people refer to Link and Zelda as soulmates it makes me laugh, cause yeah you're not wrong they totally are but Ganondorf is also technically their soulmate in that regard? The poly shippers have gotten around that issue but for everyone else he's literally born to third wheel. No wonder he's pissed, not only does he never get to realize his ambitions he's gotta watch that awkward teenage romance over and over for eternity. It's like he keeps scrolling past his NOTP and the block button isn't working. Bottling the princess just pisses off the other one, and the other one has the invincibility of a Nokia cell phone. What's a born hater to do

“denied the catharsis of punishment” is an underappreciated but hugely effective narrative consequence imo

Geralt: Oh roach, I screwed up my friendship with jaskier, I sent him away. Why do I ruin everything I touch?

Roach: You self sabatoge because it allows you to predict the outcome of events. It gives you a false illusion of control over your destiny. Furthermore you are afraid that allowing the colorful foal to love you will make you happy and you don't know how to handle that because you are so emotionally constipated that youre a literal shit head

Geralt: 0.0

Roach: I mean... *neigh*

if you’re writing a modern AU baldur’s gate fic that’s great but I think Lae’zel should just be 100% the same.

make everyone else humans and give them careers or whatever but Lae’zel should still be an alien from another plane who grew up on a comet. throwaway line about some magic she can use to disguise herself.

ideally a single character will be onto her and descending into madness while they figure this out as a B-Plot to whatever the fic’s actually about

or the characters know but they’re cool with it and it doesn’t matter to the plot whatsoever.

just a normal barista…falling in love…..and my roommate is from another dimension please don’t ask

So ever since the Barbie movie this is the image that comes to mind

When I hear "executive dysfunction"

These are my executives

They're so so dysfunctional.

nothing makes me feel more well adjusted than hearing about the problems that straight people in the periphery of my life are always having

When I was a very suicidal trans activist in Texas, Benjamin Sisko saying “sure, you would [die for your people]. Dying gets you off the hook. The question is: are you willing to live for your people?” changed and possibly saved my life. It’s up there with “if we are going to be damned, let us be damned for who we really are” from Picard. Star Trek not only shows us a better world, it teaches us how to make it there

I don’t think I have the chops for D&D or other tabletop RPGs but I could make a good DM’s assistant. I don’t play the game but I sit and listen and then after the session the DM can ask me for ideas.

@tafkamayle

moral injury is not uniquely isolating but it's isolating in its own unique way. feels like most people only know how to respond to another person's moral injury with "you're right, you're an asshole" or "you're wrong, what you did was justified". where is the fucking nuance. i want "you fucked up, but there needs to be a way forward for you, so what now? you still get to keep trying to be good"

damn. david was so right for this.
