This was my brother's favorite Ken, his canon name is "Horse Lovin' Ken."
He came to us from a yard sale missing his red checker shirt, grinning proudly with his his jaunty cowboy hat, leather shearling vest loose over his bare chest, and squeezed into those skin tight red leather pants.
It was pretty clear to us even in a conservative rural area in the 80s and 90s that him and Barbie were "just friends." Barbie had her boyfriends, but red leather pants Ken was not among them.
Shirtless under that vest was really a bit obscene, so when we found a red mesh Ken tank top at a yard sale, he got that instead, because it matched the red leather pants. I'm going to tell you something that probably won't surprise you - the addition of the red mesh muscle tank did not make the red leather pants less risqué.

I love how some smells are tied to memorys. Like I did an internship at the place where my dad works to see if that job would maybe be something I'm interested in and was in the office where he works for three weeks and now I'm back at the office again for unimportant reasons and the smell of the office makes me think of that internship the whole time. It's not a very noticable smell but it's still so specific. And the same happens with other stuff too. Like, I'll smell something and all of a sudden I get a new memory unlocked that I had completely forgotten about just because that smell stuck with me. I love that!!!

Some clowns are posting about it in the tag and I've gotten a bunch of new followers recently interested in GG Strive, so I just wanna take a sec and remind everyone that Strive's arcade mode, the part of the game where Bridget (with encouragement from Goldlewis and Ky to decide for herself how she wishes to identify) decides that she is a girl after all, doesn't have "bad" endings. It's not like the last games where certain routes lead to really obviously unfortunate outcomes. Bridget being referred to with she/her pronouns in text (like her official bio and ArcSys tweets) confirms that the ending where she realizes that she is a girl after all is her canon ending for the arcade mode. ArcSys do their localization (ie, translations) in-house so saying it's a mistranslation doesn't have even a toe to stand on either.
And for the love of all life PLEASE stop using machine translators for Japanese. They are all notoriously bad at Japanese because of how nuanced the language is. Yes, even DeepL.

Maybe I'm autistic, but I don't understand how people can wear pants all day every day??? I can't wear leggings for work, so my options are pants or dress/skirt.
I wore pants for the last two days in a row, was planning to do it again today and felt a wave of dread. Guess I'll wear a big ol skirt so I'm not constantly aware of fabric against my legs
Yes I get misgendered this way, but I get misgendered anyway so I don't see a point in trying to fight it

If Silver were to go to the dentist, would he need laughing gas so the person examining him won't be attacked? Under the influence of laughing gas, what would he do?
After their experiences with the doctor, Espio certainly reaches out to the dentist before visiting them to explain the situation as believably as he can (I figure most people will just assume Eggman is to blame for Silver's lacking health records and the fact he doesn't exist in any database). Taking Silver to the dentist's building is slightly less of an issue than the doctors' since Espio just introduces it as someone who "is going to be looking at your teeth to see if they're healthy", which amuses Silver to no small extent because it sounds very silly to him.
Aaaaaand then he is taken inside the dentists' building with its chemical smell and clean white-and-steel layout and promptly he freaks the heck out.
Espio is very glad he warned the dentists beforehand, because then he can pin Silver down (with all his might) while they slip that mask used to breathe in the laughing gas over his nose. Though I do think Silver, immediately realising they did not do that for no reason, is going to very stubbornly hold his breath or try to breathe through his mouth to not fall victim of it! Which does make everyone laugh because of how very concentrated he is focusing on that, which has as added bonus that it halts any psychic mayhem happening. But with some sweet-talking from Espio ("You won't fall asleep, you'll feel nice and calm, I'm here to protect you, everything will be alright") and perhaps some more forceful attempts to get him to breathe the stuff in, he eventually kind of has to. I don't think it is going to make him be very upbeat and giggly, he might still be too anxious for that despite the laughing gas, but it does at least make him a bit calmer and slightly more cooperative. Though I can also imagine it makes him all tingly and light-headed, which he does not like at all. But Espio is right beside him to answer most of the questions about Silver's dental works and probably giving Silv some scratches behind his ear and head pats to keep him calmer, so altogether it's not an awful experience. It helps that he's not in pain, and his mind is too sluggish to really freak out at all the instruments and tools they put in his mouth to clean his teeth. But I can imagine he comes out somewhat nauseous and with a headache once the effects wear off, and his limbs are all heavy and he can't stand how defenseless that all leaves him. Espio is absolutely going to get hissed at when he's carrying Silver home (all mumbled and slurred which does sound hilarious, even if Espio knows better than to laugh) for his Lies and Deceit and General Unhelpfulness, and Silver is gonna be even more peeved when the effects wear off in full during the trip and his mouth is hurting. But this is one of the things Espio does not budge on, because it is important for Silver's overall health. And Silver gets to pick out a really big ice cream once his nausea has diminished in the fresh air outside, so that helps with him forgiving Espio!
