My Friend Once Said That “you Have To Be Both Gay And Mentally Ill To Understand Siken. You Can’t

I cannot wait to see the fight between the Bad Kids and the Rat Grinders. The BKs fight so well together and as a team. Apparently the RGs have only been dealing final blows on enemies. They have no idea how to effectively give out bardics, healing, help actions. Thinking about Fig taking out the large groups of low HP enemies because their main damage dealers (Fabian, Gorgug, Riz) can’t target that many enemies a turn. Thinking about Gorgug with the purple worm and Fabian asking if he needed help. Adaine’s portent crit with Fig’s smites

I love that Brennan's dynamic DMing for his wife is "Yes, absolutely, anything you want an I'm also going to make sure you never die" and Murph's dynamic DMing for his wife is, "No, you're absolutely fucking insane and I'm going to make you suffer for it."

I was watching the corn cuties fight earlier today and going from that where they can’t get on tables, have 16 health, and like a plus 6 to hit, to now where Fabian does over 100 damage in one turn was crazy.

Even the players themselves. Ally was asking which die they should roll to now knowing which spells to cast based on range and concentration. Knowing they should cast death ward on the proctor. Absolutely insane growth

What is the actual original episode that Ice Feast is brought up in? All I can find is references to it

The way Brennan says “ketchup” is crazy. I have never heard anyone say it like that before. Could not focus on anything happening due to the way Brennan says “ketchup”

Started watching Friends again with my mom and god Phoebe is so autistic. The second episode literally starts with everyone complaining about her echolalia. I love weird women in media that are just autistic (also thinking of Jessica Day from New Girl)

Listen, do I ship Riz and Fabian? Absolutely not. Riz is aroace. However, something distinctly queer is happening here. Comphet much? Fabian continuously bringing up The Ball instead of getting his kisses in. I mean come on.

Paper Towns is an amazing deconstruction of the manic pixie dream girl trope.

I don’t understand how anyone could read “The fundamental mistake I had always made…was this: Margo was not a miracle. She was not adventure. She was not a fine and precious thing. She was a girl,” and not understand that the whole of point the book is that Margo is not a mpdg and that Q is wrong for treating her like one. The whole of the book is that Margo wanted to cultivate this image and persona but ultimately it just makes her feel worse.

This quote from Margo summarizes a lot of it: “I was the flimsy-foldable person, not everyone else. And here’s the thing about it. People love the idea of a paper girl. They always have…Because it’s kind of great, being an idea that everybody likes. But I could never be the idea to myself, not all the way.”

Growing up, I felt this so much. All of this pressure to be funny and smart and pretty and perfect, but the truth is that no one can be all of those things all the time. We are all people, with all of the complexity that that entails. When we pretend not to be, we lose out on having people love us for all the parts of ourselves.

So much of it is related to being a woman too. This pressure to make ourselves smaller so that we can be a supporting character. Every time I show a man that I know something he doesn’t, I can feel how uncomfortable (at best) and angry (more likely) they are. Paper towns is a great reminder that I am not here for anyone else’s development. I am my own story.
