You know what? Yeah! More interaction and community on tumblr! Okay, random questions based on your recent posts. How much of your dice collection do you actually bring to a given session? What's the last time an m/f ship actually got you invested? What ingredient(s) do you use in your cooking most often?

HECK YEAH

all of my dice usually show up at any given session because these days almost all the DnD I’m playing is skype-in DnD and/or very close to my house and it’s just. Satisfying to constantly stack and re-stack and organize dice as the play happens as a way to keep my focus, well, focused 

actually, surprisingly right now??? there is a very very good webserial called A Practical Guide To Evil that is a hell of a lot of fun (it is....an incredibly realistic take on what a DnD fantasy world where people can pretty fucking easily figure out that some people are PCs would look like in-world, if that makes sense? there are Heroes and Villains and it is possible for people with the will for it to gain Names that give them powers but they then are....more affected by Fate and bound by narrative tropes. and this is just all accepted as a part of the way the world works/an experiment by the Gods. the premise of the story is “and then after three hundred years of flying fortresses and sentient tiger-armies being repelled by stalwart Heroes, a new generation of Villains came along that got genre-savvy and suddenly oops took over half the continent, welcome to the previous Kingdom of Callow now province of the Dread Empire of Praes twenty years later.) but they do some absolutely amazing rep of just, like. bi people, asexual people, trans people, polyamory/being as devoted to your friends as you are to romance, and, uh, there are some m/f pairings in there that I am Actually Legit Invested In

oh huh I was going to say “the spiciest spice to ever spice so I don’t have to taste it” which is mostly true but the actual true answer is olive oil. I douse everything in olive oil. I cook everything in olive oil. I am living my best olive life.

squigly-protractor replied to your post “people who act like only parents are allowed to criticize parenting...”

that's actually something that's increasingly pissing me off, people who think "parenting style" is something sacred and that criticizing them for it is the highest order of disrespect, particularly if their reason is that the person isn't a parent. parents aren't a minority demographic whose experiences can't possibly be understood, so talking about them isn't derailing some big conversation. also yikes they have four kids I hope they're ok

yes this forever

Know that, even knowing they won't hear from you again, the thoughts of your friends and fans will go with you should you make it through this.

i'm sorry what

Are you watching Hirogaru Sky?

I've seen the opening and I have a few episodes queued up, but haven't had the chance to sit down and actually watch it yet. I have way too many hobbies and love too many series, lol.

“400”

ok maybe you have the answer here. one of the recent episodes of Conan stated the year. Last I remember they were claiming it had been just over a year since the show started. Can you remember any other time the year was stated that would make this a contradiction or do we now have to assume all the early episodes were sometime in 2016 and everyone was just making weirdly dated references?

I have not personally counted years/dates or tried to make sense of the timeline, but a lot of other people have. Here and Here. 

Forget about the year itself; too many events and holidays specific to particular months have happened for the series to take place in any particular year. Also, plot relevant cases have gone from 90s technology of floppy disks and cassette tapes and no cell phones, to flip phones, to current tech like smartphones. 

What makes the most sense is a Floating Timeline.

Which is Duke and which is Harold?

Duke is the cat, Harold is the stepfather!

1. First impression: Probably “ah, new SIT!”2. Truth is: It is entirely possible that we met at an earlier camp and if it’s the one I’m thinking of, I may still have a picture of you in costume. Remind me to Skype that to you.3. How old do you look: 24-25-ish.4. Have you ever made me laugh: Ye!5. Have you ever made me mad: On a few occasions, but not too recently, I think.6. Best feature: You have a great working knowledge of many of today’s more complex issues, which I confess I envy sometimes.7. Have I ever had a crush on you: I spent my first couple years knowing you thinking you were two years younger than you actually were, so thankfully no.8. You’re my: Friend.9. Name in my phone: Skype.10. Should you post this too? Sure!
