”I’ll just get to the point; the dragon that terrorizes our farms isn’t evil, she’s lonely. Solve that and I’ll give you whatever you want within reason. Please.”
The knight paused in thought. “Alright, it's a tall order, but I don't mind a challenge.” He snapped his fingers. “Bring me a fireproof suit, all the olive oil you can find and five— no, make it six— bottles of whisky. Tomorrow I ride out to the dragon's lair alone, and NOBODY is to follow me.”
A few hours later, the villagers watched him riding off in his fireproof suit, his oil and whisky in a cart behind him.
“Do you think he's really going to…”
“Surely not.”
“I mean the oil…”
“At least he's considerate.”
“At least he needs whisky.”
For the rest of the day, the villagers went about their chores in the shadow of the mountain where the dragon made her lair, trying not to think about what might be happening up there. At one point there was a sudden rise of smoke, as if a great fire had been lit. Followed by a draconic roar.
At the end of the day, the knight rode down again. The cart was empty. His suit was blackened. He looked exhausted, and was sheened with sweat.
“Job done,” he said as he got down from his horse.
The villagers stared.
“Poor girl is barely out of her first shed. Poor thing. Never been in heat before, didn't know what to do.”
The villagers kept staring.
“Should be alright now.”
The head man of the village felt like he should probably say something. “Are you… are you alright?”
The knight looked down at his suit. “This? Oh yeah, she sent out a few warning shots. Didn't like me getting too close to her lair.”
“So you…” the head man's sentence was cut off by another roar, and the sound of wings flapping overhead. The villagers ducked as one, the knight simply looked up, grinning.
“Olive oil and whisky, never fails.” He looked around at their confused faces. “See, normally the female is meant to build a fire herself to draw the males to her. She produces an oil from her cheek glands that lets them know she's in heat. Burning olive oil and whisky mixed smells the same— at least to a dragon— so you can use it in a pinch.” He pointed upwards. “That'll be the male.”
The villagers were silent. The knight began to feel rather unnerved. “Hey, why are you all looking at me like that?”
That has to be the most humiliating way to describe one of Earth's most terrifyingly effective predators.

I would let her kill me for sport
The Murderbot Diaries are a power fantasy about being aromantic and still developing extremely important dedicated emotionally intimate partnerships where you are a top priority in a person's life, equal to their other family or romantic attachments despite your own emotional difficulties. And having guns in your arms

what if I just made my profile picture a male calico cat or something. hurm
Could I suggest a picture of Dawntreader Texas Calboy? He is a beautiful male calico cat who is a chimera. He's also somewhat controversial among some cat fancy associations since he is a male cat with female colors, and some people are strangely transphobic towards him, despite him being a cat? There was even a rule implemented to keep him from competing in a cat show. If you look up his name, he made a few news articles.
Oh my god?????
Yeah you're right about beautiful I'm squeezing him until he pops!!!!! I love this guy I think I'm going to make an edit real quickly Calboy I love you I'm so sorry people are calling you a freak??????
This was a man, dressed as a plant, making pigeon noises at people walking by. I said hello, asked if it was okay to take his picture, and then asked why he was dressed as a plant. He said, “I’m just working through some stuff. Thank you for asking. No ones asked yet.”
I’ve been dealing with stuff the wrong way.
you have to forgive the printer because it's one of the most machine-ass machines we interact with on a day to day basis. that thing says kerchunk. hardly anything says kerchunk these days. you can't get mad at her when she kerchunks up a little.
Crazy that tech has gotten so bad that we're doing printer forgiveness now
if someone is selling womens underpants and they're calling them "boxer briefs" or "boy shorts" and the underpants in question do not cover BOTH of your ENTIRE ASS CHEEKS, you should be allowed to either sue or kill them
you can't trick me. I know what most boys shorts do, and that is cover BOTH of their ENTIRE ASS CHEEKS, unless they specifically go out of their way to acquire Extra Sexy Underpants

Gotta tell you guys something wild in the Chinese fan sphere
So some fanartist drew a “sexy” (read: booby) version of a (cartoon) character who is traditionally very non-sexualised. Fans of the character got mad about it because it’s kind of groundbreaking how that character is written and portrayed and this art totally ignores the entire point of the character. They demanded the art be deleted. In response to that other people said, well what the fanartist did may be distateful but they have every right to draw what they’re into. The two sides fight for days and each starts a harassment campaign and even report their “opponents’” accounts.
So far so typical. But things eventually come to a head and they decide that this will be settled by votes - not through a poll. Through donations to a children’s education charity via each side’s portal. Whoever can get the highest amount of donation wins.
And that is how this charity received over 1 million in donations in three days lol. Oh btw the “freedom of expression” side won by a landslide (960k to 40k)

I'm absolutely terrified of the fact that baby Hermes could probably be able to learn how to figure out how to build a bomb on his own, no help from anyone, no instructions.
Pfff
In the D&D campaign I'm running with my wife's siblings, one of them learned about how trolls regenerate within minutes of any damage not caused by fire or acid, and then asked why people don't just like. Cage them and eat them, forever. Why there aren't troll meat dungeons in the king's castle as a safeguard against sieges or famines.
And you know, I thought it was a fair question, so I said that if you eat enough troll meat, you start getting troll-y. And then I went further and just treated it like troll flesh is a general contaminant - if you eat enough troll, you'll turn into a troll, but if you bury enough dead troll flesh in a forest, the trees will start growing in strange ways, and will scream and heal and bleed when you hit them with axes.
I liked this idea. So as we played further, I just played around with the idea of Troll Origins, and I came up with something sort of like the Odyssey, but instead stealing Helios's cattle, it was Hathor's, and the horrible, awful, unending immortality was her curse of the army that pillaged her lands. A god of healing does not condemn you to die, she condemns you to live.
And then I got this fun idea for maybe the king that led the army is still kind of alive in the troll taint. Like a sort of literal fisher king. The kingdom is sick because he is, literally, the kingdom. The trees that bleed, bleed his blood and their screams are his screams. He is both the faintly green bear running down the mountain and the faintly green deer and there is no way past this without suffering. He is the entire ecosystem, and he eats nothing but himself and he dreams nothing but death and yet still, on and on and on and on, he lives.
Anyway they're traveling next session so I'm throwing this shit at them. I already have some gross ideas for like. Describing everything like it's a body (flowers red as blood, white as bone, pink as meat, grass fine as hair) then finally throwing horrible living things at them. Trees that grow eyeballs that turn and stare at them, or flowers with teeth instead of petals and trolls that speak in long dead tongues about how they wish they'd never tried to rob a god.
Anyway I'm passing this on because this is my new troll lore and I want it to become canonized in the way that all D&D lore becomes canonized: By having eople read it and go "oh, neat" then start doing that too.
that’s his little guy!!
I wish I had what they have...
dreaming of a world in which people know about aromanticism. And by "know" I don't mean "having a vague idea of it's existence", I mean know. I mean a world where an in depth article discussing people's choice to stay single will include an aromantic perspective. I mean a world where people have an understanding of why love, as an emotion, is detached from morality. A world where people will ask you "what kind of relationships do you want in your life?" instead of asking "do you have a boyfriend?". I dream of a world where aromantic people can exist without the constant underlying expectation of being dehumanized, erased and belittled by an unexpected, unassuming comment. I try to create a microcosm of this world around me. I hope it will be easier one day.
i’m so fucking tired of shitty articles getting published that reduce the success of heated rivalry to ‘the monolith known as “WOMEN” are OBSESSED with GAY SMUT’
as soon as something centres queerness and is enjoyed by women it gets devalued and made fun of and stripped of all its artistry. ‘only straight women like this. and they only like it because it’s basically porn. so scandalous! haha silly women and their porn. anyway because it’s porn that means these women are fetishising and therefore homophobic (despite the fact that they’re the ones enjoying it as a series/story/piece of art and we’re the ones insisting it’s porn. despite the fact that they appreciate the actors as experts trained in a craft and we’re the ones depicting them as empty hot bodies)’
i just wish fandom wasn’t treated like a fucking zoo exhibit man like it’s fun and silly and self deprecating when people within fandom spaces talk to their friends about fujoing out or playing with dolls or whatever. it’s just patronising when it’s done by mainstream media
this also applies to “”””“content creators””””” outside of fandom who decide to make content out of lifting up our rock to yell that ‘this fandom is insane’ when what they actually mean is that some shit has been done by some guy who isn’t even part of this particular bug colony
‘this fandom is insane. look what insane shit they did that only 5 people would’ve ever known about if i hadn’t made my video lmao. get em boys’
