great job everyone lets hit the showers
Not again
gentle reminder that you can’t get this kind of nonsense from any other site
This thread is almost eight years old and it has damn well earned its place among the Tumblr pantheon as a Heritage Post™️
LIKES TO CHARGE REBLOGS TO CAST
you people aren't CASTING
“Do dishes” and “take out trash” both require the use of a spell slot, vs “use phone” is a cantrip, and brother, I am a level one wizard
Man I miss free the nipple. Its getting warmer and we don’t even have free the nipple anymore
feminism has backslid so hard in recent years people don't even know what free the nipple means anymore
To clarify for those who don't know, "free the nipple" isn't about going braless, it's about going topless
No shirt, no bra, completely bare torso, just like cis men are allowed to
It's about desexualizing breasts and "female presenting nipples" and not being criminalized for our bodies if we want to go topless because it's a million damn degrees out. This was a popular growing movement that was still widely known a decade ago!
And the fact that not wearing a bra is so discouraged and stigmatized that people think the movement was about being able to go braless under your shirt in public rather than about being able to not wear a shirt at all says a lot about how far we've backslid in the past decade
Lydia skyrim you will always be the housecarl of all time
I don't want to be too soap-boxy about this, it's more of a personal vent than a PSA, I guess.
Creators/mod authors are not the characters they create.
I've done game dev & made art in video game spaces for years now, & something I've noticed happening more and more is that people form one-sided parasocial relationships with, and unrealistic/unhealthy expectations/perceptions of creators based on characters they happen to create.
The way people treat me when they only know my work vs. the way they treat me in person or when they know what I look like is INSANE. The assumption that you know anything about a person based off a character they made is honestly wild, & being treated poorly based on this in various ways is something that not only myself but many mod authors have dealt with, in one way or another.
It's not even limited to open cruelty, which does happen. It's little comments. The way people treat one mod author vs another. It often leans worse towards women, which is a whole other conversation I don't have time for here.
I just like...urge people who enjoy art, who interact w creators in public spaces and discuss their work, to evaluate whether or not your assumptions are healthy. Should you be assuming a creator's gender, disposition, personality, or otherwise based on a fictional character in a fantasy world? Or should you treat them as they are, as real separate people, and not just their characters that you enjoy (or dislike)?
Anyway, this is just a stream of consciousness, more than anything. Be kind to people. My mental health has been negatively affected more times than I can count by someone treating me as someone I am not based on only knowing my work, and I'm far from the most affected by these kinds of things. Just know that creating characters & stories & art in these spaces requires immense passion, patience, and time from our lives 🩷

Story Time:
Working in retail is really fun, and the times when major fuck-ups happen, they can be either anxiety-attack inducing, or make it possible to get through the rest of your god-awful shift with a smile depending on the customer. My all-time favorite absolute fuck-up is as follows:
This kind woman is just doing her thing. She scans her membership card from her keychain. The register beeps to acknowledge the scan. We continue as usual. Neither of us notice right away, but after I’ve scanned a few more items, I hear a very quiet, “Um,” from the lady, very polite. I look at her. She is looking at the screen of my register, blinking. I, too, look.
And lo and behold. There is a charge of over four-thousand dollars ($4,000) worth of garlic bread staring us in the face. There are no words for a minute. We’re just… in awe. How did this happen? How the hell did this happen?
She didn’t even have garlic bread in her cart.
I sputter a partial apology - I was incapable of forming actual sentences in the moment - and try to void the garlic bread. Since there was no garlic bread to scan, I try to manually remove $4,000-some from this transaction.
Well, the registers don’t like it when you try to void off more than five dollars ($5) from a transaction, so naturally it pings my manager for confirmation, but she’s not by her pager.
At this point, both myself and the lady are just… dumbfounded. She’s not even mad. I’m not even all that embarrassed. Both of us are just looking at the screen. There’s a bit of laughter, but it’s mostly just… confusion.
I have to call through the whole store for my manager on the intercom because she’s not answering. She shows up, ready to override and void it, when she too, sees what exactly is being voided.
“What… did you do?”
“I genuinely. Have literally. No. Idea.”
She voids it, and I go to finish the transaction and tell the woman her total (minus the garlic bread). My register pings. It tells me that she hasn’t scanned her membership card. Odd. I distinctly remember her doing that. The woman goes to scan her card again, and I notice that her library card is stuck to her membership card. I tell her gently, and she separates the two and scans her card.
My manager, hovering nearby still, sees this and says, “I think it mistook the barcode of her other card for garlic bread, and the remaining digits were read as the price.”
And that’s when the laughter really came over us. There were no hard feelings at all. In fact, the woman was incredibly glad that the receipt still showed the garlic bread and the voiding of. I will remember it until the end of time, my only regret in the entire situation being that I didn’t take a damn picture, because she has proof and I don’t. But I swear to God it happened.
TDLR; Library Card Charged $4,000 of Garlic Bread.
that’s just how valuable library cards are. each one is worth at least $4000 of garlic bread
A picture is worth a thousand words, a library card is worth $4000 worth of garlic bread, if we can figure out how many words the average library card can check out at once, we can probably work out a picture-to-garlic bread conversion here, too.

“what is better: to be born good or to overcome your evil nature throug great effort?” is a line that would go hard if it had anything to do with the themes of the game it’s from
Me and my gf (im the short king)
They're best friends, your honor!
Gromph is in fact oldest drow from Menzoberranzan but you can never call him that to his face
my friend- "Dating sim with characters from the Legend of Drizzt!" me- "Pfft…" my friend- "Dating sim with characters from the Legend of Drizzt. If you choose the wrong options in the dialogue witha character, you f*cking die!" me- "Oh! Now I get what you mean…"

One like nitpick thing that drives me crazy is when people call Blue Whales the largest whales or the largest living mammals or some shit like that
Because yes that is true. But when you frame it like that you are completely disregarding the absolutely batshit reality that Blue Whales are the largest animals that have ever existed on earth through the entire history of the planet and they are alive right now today
