truer words have never been spoken (x)
wise words by aunt freckle
One time I was DMing a campaign where the players walked into that tavern every campaign has and one of the patrons was a Mindflayer wearing a very bad human disguise who insisted his name was Johnald Humanman. And they were just like "Oh, okay. Well, that's his business" and didn't interact with Johnald Humanman at all.
I planned for a lot of eventualities but I never planned for a D&D party being polite
I once had a DM tell us that we completed a quest line about 3 sessions earlier than he expected because we got told by a group of lizardfolk that ānobody goes to that part of the swampā and all went āhuh, ok! Thanks for the warningā and just didnāt go
I played Exalted with a brilliant player who subverted at least six boss/miniboss battles by whipping out his tea set, being super charming, and begging people to sit down and have tea before they fought.
Following his example, I have dipped the party out of at least three fights in my current 5e campaign by simply greeting NPCs with "Well howdy!"
That type of character is one of the most frustrating ones for a DM. It's the same BS as the whole "Bard seduces the dragon" thing and there's a reason many DMs ban it. There is a balance between solving puzzles and encounters through clever means, and just sticking a middle finger to all the work the DM did with technicalities of the game. I feel for that DM, I would have had a private talk with that player after the first, MAYBE second time, but SIX? Jesus.
I fundamentally disagree. I love it when the players buy into the fantasy and start making the decisions their characters would make. To build on my original example, we were doing a Stormwrack campaign and all of these characters were pirates and wanted criminals so I really should've been expecting "Well I won't ask any questions if you won't" as a likely response. "But I did all this work planning :(" is a valid complaint but not really a valid criticism b/c in my opinion the game should be about collaborative storytelling where everybody gets to do a thing, it's not the Natalie Show starring Natalie.
I finally forced them to interact with Johnald Humanman the normal human by having him hitch a ride on their ship. It was hilarious.
when two musicians sing into the same microphone and lean in very close to each other⦠like omg are you guys gonna kiss now to relieve the homoerotic tension?š³
THIS IS NOT ABOUT ONE DIRECTION I DONāT KNOW WHO THIS āHARRYā PERSON IS GO WATCH BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN AND CLARENCE CLEMONS KISS ON STAGE RIGHT NOW
op is the only valid person iāve ever met. everyone else needs to come to the light
Okay, but this is really important: Bruce Springsteen occupied this really weird place in music history. His songs were all from this pessimistic, nihilistic view of an America that had let him down:
Just like the anti-Vietnam War protest songs that we associate with the 1960s, or the early nihilism that spawned punk music in the 1970s. But he didnāt *sound* like a punk anarchist; he sounded like a country rock singer. When he released Born in the U.S.A. people completely misinterpreted (or possibly ignored) the lyrics in favor of the tone of the music.
Politicians used his music to promote their āMurica Yes! brand, and he had to literally explain that that was not what he was about. Heās over here asking when weāre going to have jobs and heathcare, not stanning the politicians who werenāt helping the people.
It was also kind of a big deal that he had an integrated band, because even as late as the 1980s music was still kind of segregated and MTV was straight up racist. They refused to play and promote black artists and then claimed that were no black artists in the first place. Michael Jacksonās record company had to threaten a boycott of their white artists to get MTV to play his Thriller video.
Plus, the first black/white interracial kiss on TV was in 1968 (OG Star Trek). Also it took us until the 70s to get sympathetic gay characters on screen, and the 90s to get gay characters to kiss onscreen. And all of those firsts were met with outrage.
So keep that in mind when you see Bruce Springsteen not just playing with an interracial band, but engaging in an interracial, gay kiss on stage repeatedly.
Passages from American Popular Music by Larry Starr and Christopher Waterman
I used to think that Bruce and Clarence kissing onstage was exuberance, showmanship, and telling racist homophobes to fuck off. Like, they picked up a certain kind of audience and went āRacist homophobes? Not in our house!ā And started the kissing then but then I actually looked it up and

It was a story where⦠we remade the city. We remade the city, shaping it into the kind of place where our friendship and our love for one another wouldnāt have been such an exceptional thing. - Bruce Springsteen
It wasnāt about showmanship or rejecting bigots or anything it was just. Damn right that was one of the loves of his life and damn right he was going to kiss him onstage
It gets me a little that Bruce has had a divorce, that heās been married twice, but he loved Clarence for the rest of Clarenceās life and will presumably love him the rest of his own
Clemons said in one interview. āBruce and I looked at each other and didnāt say anything, we just knew. We knew we were the missing links in each otherās lives. He was what Iād been searching for.ā In another version of the story, Clemons says āHe looked at me, and I looked at him, and we fell in love.ā
Iām having some emotions about it!
āHe was elemental in my life,ā Springsteen adds, āand losing him was like losing the rain.ā
Not just! I love you pure and deep and true but! I am going to love you like that in front of the whole damn world!
We have fewer narratives about taking risks and making statements for platonic love rather than romantic and supposedly it would be easier to downplay this onstage than romance and! They refused! They fucking refused! In front of hundreds of thousands of people, over the course of years! In the spotlight, in word and deed, I love you!
God Iām not okay about it
would yāall ever date someone with the same name as you?
Iām sorry for adding directly to a post but I went to a wedding once where the groomās name was Loren and the brideās name was Lauren and at the end the officiant was all āintroducing Loren [surname] and Lauren [surname], husband and wifeā and the entire assembled lost it
also sorry for adding on but at my high school there was a Dominic and a Dominique who were dating and everyone just called themĀ āDom and Dommerā which is honestly the funniest shit ever
My parents are both named Terry (spelled differently) but Iām pretty sure thatās one of the reasons my mom never changed her last name.
People would call and ask for Terry and child me would be like āboy or girl?ā And theyād panic and hang up. My mom found this endlessly amusing.
Why would you leave this GOLD in the tags??
Every time i see a post or tweet about twilight being gay culture or hilarious I just think about how the Quileute tribe of Washington had to set up a website specifically to combat racist misinformation that was being spread about their history and customs by stephenie meyer. Like she really just took an existing group of people with millennia of actual history and an actual mythos and culture and then just made shit up to fit her sexy mormon abstinence only tract
Donate to help the Quileute Nation move their culture and community center to higher ground now that climate change is threatening their current infrastructure.
So they agree, commuting hours are work hours
If anybodyās employer starts talking like this make them pay you for your commute lol
āalright then, by my calculations you owe me in commute back pay about--ā

Obsessed by this statue I saw today in Le Havre (France) from the Italian sculptor Fabio Viale. The design isn't painted on... The ink is injected inside the marble like a real tattoo. And if I remember correctly what the guide said, it took the artist three weeks to do just that.
How stunning is this
Okay folks what absolutely ridiculous hill should I die on today
Found the hill
The whole picture wouldnāt fit so hereās the full edit, it took me 10 while minutes
