"Another bit of unexpected honesty"
not to sound bitter but i hope hurting me haunts you for years
Gale sucks. He eats my magic items.
I gave Gale a ring that puked pretty colours, a crusty pendant that thought it was a nightlight, and an old boot that expected me to stand in water during combat just for the chance to give an enemy a slight shock—and one of those items I bought at a vendor with 20 gold coins I yanked from an ogre's ass. People really be massacring entire villages just to get a crumb of approval from Astarion, but whine because the wizard needs to munch on three pieces of a jeweler's finest rejects. 😒
And he does that because he doesn't want other people to die for his mistakes. He apologises and thanks you every time. Like, calm down. Give him your sock.

does anyone else remember the foxhole court bc that was so insane. for awhile the biggest thing on tumblr was a self published book series that no one outside of this website has ever heard of and that was never even published in physical form about a guy who fakes his name, age (by one year) and identity to join a sports team for a fake sport that the author invented for the series despite the fact that it was literally just lacrosse, after being on the run and changing his name hundreds of times because his mobster dad tried to sell him to a rival sports team that was actually owned by the japanese mafia. or something like that. and then every single subsequent thing that happened was somehow more batshit soap opera plotlines. this was literally the most popular book series on tumblr and was put on book rec lists alongside like, the great gatsby and donna tartt books. if I didn’t remember it so clearly I would assume I hallucinated this
oh and to be clear this series was not set in japan, the japanese mafia just owned an american college sports team and was super invested in it for some reason
getting some wildly varied feedback on this post
I’ve cracked the code. Next time you correct someone on your pronouns and they respond with that generally positive but slightly defensive vibe like “oh sorry, I’m new to this so it’ll take me a while” just hit em with one of these:
“No worries, I’m practicing at reminding people and you seem like a safe person to practice with”
Boom. Took the perceived blame off their shoulders and made the connection for them that being corrected = being trusted. Rinse and repeat. It’s also not a lie, correcting people on my pronouns is stressful and personally I really am super cautious about it
I figure some angry people will jump into the notes on this one so let me clarify: trans people do not have to be nice or coddle cis feelings. Some of us like living low-conflict lives though, so get off our dicks about it
Cis people if you would like to avoid having this interaction in the first place, try “thank you for correcting me”
“[correction]”
“oh right, thanks, [carries on whatever they were saying but with the correct pronouns this time]”
^That is the best way to handle it. Cis folks take notes.
That said, I deeply appreciate having a hack for if I correct someone irl and they make a thing out of it, so thank you OP you are a treasure for sharing this Cis Hack.

trauma doesnt make you funnier like all those twitter posts say. it's actually IBS and other gastrointestinal problems that make one funny
GUYS I JUST SAW THIS ON TWITTER AND I AM DYING
OK but Madeline Miller responded to this, after the OP on Twitter directly tagged her in the thread making fun of her like a total jerk:

cis people who legitimately questioned their gender and decided they were cis are cis, but theyre not cis about it. i respect that.
exactly!! even if youre cis, examining your relationship with gender closely like that is only gonna help you understand yourself and grow as a person!!!
gender is a social construct. You get to inspect your own construction site to make sure it’s up to code.
Examining my gender led to my conclusion that I am my assigned-gender-at-birth and something else, and figuring out the something else made me very happy, but I’ve also never been happier and more comfortable being my AGAB than since I sat down and decided that yes, actually, I like it, I enjoy it and I’m keeping it. But I am choosing it, I am choosing the ways I want to perform it, and on days I don’t want to, I don’t have to and I am something else.
Very freeing, highly recommend

I love how Matt specified that the Clay family joined in with Essek’s group hug before he left. Obviously the Clays are just Like That but I really love the idea that they grew fond of Essek during his time in the Grove.
I mean… Caduceus returns from saving the world, and he’s brought some new friends! And one of them is this quiet, very polite drow who volunteers to help in your garden after it gets burned and ravaged by Horrid Wilting. He’s obviously never gardened before, and he keeps getting sunburned, but he’s meticulous and hard-working and he seems to be enjoying himself. And all it takes is one Insightful Clay look at him to know that there is a lot to unpack there, and he seems a little uncertain and unfamiliar when it comes to your loving family dynamic, which suggests some very sad things. But he’s one of your easier houseguests - he doesn’t even leave any muddy footprints! And that little cleaning cantrip of his makes chores so much faster, and it’s very sweet that he wears the rose-patterned gloves his friend made for him.
You hope he’ll visit again and spend some time in the garden. He could do with some tea and some gentle conversation. And with getting used to hugs.
I still think about the person on twitter who thought that Pennywise was living in Derry, Ireland every waking second of my life.
If I think about a Derry Girls au too long, I literally pass out. It’s like, what if the Losers were 8 times stupider and more chaotic? It’s all I’ve ever wanted!!
Like I don’t even know how you would even plot this fic out? Literally all 5 of them would encounter Pennywise and immediately scream and try to hit him with the nearest object?? Like Pennywise would starve to death in Derry. All the kids would throw hands the second they saw him.
“Are ye saying you saw a clown, Michelle?”
“Aye, it was a fecking clown, Claire.”
“But, clowns aren’t even scary!”
“Aye, I know that, and I told the wee bastard as much, then he grew a bunch of fangs, like, total cracker actually if ye think about it.”
“Have none of you considered that a grown man dressed like a clown hiding in the sewers who wants to eat children might be something to take at least a little bit seriously?!?”
“Ach, seriously, fuck off James, go be a craic killer somewhere else!”
“Have ye considered James that maybe the clown is more afeared of us, than we are a him?”
“No, Orla, I hadn’t considered that, thank you.”
“Okay girls, I think we’re all missing the point here! You said that he grew fangs!??! Are you sure you weren’t just a wee bit blackout drunk?!”
“Well to be fair, I was boking all over myself, Erin, to be sure, yeah.”

“What’s this I hear about a man dressed like a clown in the sewers?”
“But da you don’t think our Erin is daft enough to play in the sewers do ye?”
“I’m sure it’s just an urban legend, Joe.”
“You watch your tone with me boy! I’ll not have some wee Southern shite tell me what’s real and what’s myth!”
“I tell ya it’s real! As real as my right hand, swear to God!”
“Erin! I don’t want you goin anywhere near no man approachin wains dressed like a clown!”
“But don’t you think the whole affair of dressing up as a clown like, is a wee bit… gay? Uh- I mean no offense son.”
“Still not gay!”
