Asexuals were always part of pride and it really fucking shows when people think it's a recent term.

[hungry-skeleton]

Although not going by the term "asexual" yet, asexuality was spoken about alongside homosexuality as far back as the 1890s. Asexual history is just as vital to queer history as any other term and I'm so tired of watching us being treated like a new thing

adding real historical figures into my alternate history novel feels like I'm writing stan lee cameos into a marvel movie.

i hope a ceiling fan falls on the empty spot in the bed next to you and it starts understanding your needs

[rosetower]

eventually you realize you don’t want to die. you just don’t want to live the life you’re living. and slowly you try to create a life you want to live. just gotta start there.

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

no one needs to add “sounds fake but ok”, “no”, “well, not me”, “impossible”, etc. to this post. and i’d rather you not.

[duckbunny]

one day you think: I want to die.

and then you think, very quietly: actually. actually. I think I want a coffee. a nap. a sandwich. a book.

and I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friend, I want to sit in the sun

I want a cleaner kitchen

I want a better job

I want to live somewhere else

I want to live

It could also maybe have something to do with Robin Hood not being the sort of story they want passed around in this political climate

Every time I see this post, I don't 100% get it, because it's like... Then that's your story, man!!! Your story is about your hero struggling to save the day when they can't afford their armor, their horse, their weapon, the stable fees. How do they achieve this anyway? Do they sleep under the stars? Do they learn to craft their own gear? Do they befriend someone who can help them acquire it? Do they get a quest before the quest to acquire a patron? That's your story.

Honestly yeah !

I don't know the full context , but I think they are in some way trying to make d&d work in real life ...

And to put it simply d&d doesn't care about the premises of adventuring ...

Rather just making it fun and palatable ...

Like I can think of many reasons why someone may be in an adventuring situation :

Proselitizing for their religion , which may take them to a truly bum fuck nowhere place ,

Finding a new commercial route , surveying basically

Being stranded there and having to survive and get back to a community , "the martian" route basically ,

They are rich and are just adventuring because they like the mythology behind it and for them this is an hobby , like the people who want to summit the Everest ...

They are doing some kind of really high risk high reward operation that may not be fully legal , either highly unregulated mining , basically a gold rush , or straight up criminal stuff ...

Like , ok , most writing is about asking good questions and providing yourself interesting answers in one way or another ...

And in this case most questions are about risk ...

Who is shouldering the risk for the adventuring not planning out ?

Why is MC taking this risk ?

What is the reward for this risk ?

These are the main questions I am thinking about really ...

But yeah I think they are kinda letting some previous answer blocking them , and yeah they can just change it

[aehallhyon]

Oooo good addition! Also makes me wonder how many fantasy books this person has actually read? Because at least in the ones I've read, "penniless farmboy who has to do an adventure but starts from nothing and has to wander the land/rely on charity from his allies" is a pretty common starting point for a lot of books.

[1greenameba]

I read "fem boy" at first XD

But yeah I am not even a fantasy reader ,

I just watch some movies and read ABT history ...

[decentmonster]

I had a dream last night that tumblr came up with a pride flag for closeted gays and it was just a light blue flag with a shrimp on it. People would also wear shrimp pins on their lapels for some Reason???

and the vegan gays started Discourse because shrimp deserved more respect

[decentmonster]

Wth that's brilliant

[gay-vampire-with-a-violin]

like this?

closeted queers, you now have a discreet pride flag. wreak havoc.

[decentmonster]

EXACTLY LIKE THAT

[themummersfolly]

Pride flag for closeted queers and people who are just done with explaining themselves to randos.

Something that I first applied to working with children, and have applied in a limited form to working with adults: you don't need to tell someone when they read your instructions wrong. Sometimes it's enough to point out what they did right and then whatever they didn't do? You ask them to do it in more precise words, and you make it sound like it's a new request. Remarkable how fast things get done this way.

[discodeerdiary]

This is also a habit I built up from emergency response training. If I say "I need you to bring me a first aid kit and an accident report" and you bring me just a first aid kit, it's so much more efficient to say "thanks now can you bring me an accident report" than "I asked you to bring an accident report why didn't you bring me one".

[discodeerdiary]

Once you've internalized "a person bleeding out is one of the worst times to start an argument" you start to wonder what other tasks could get accomplished without arguing
