Mammon: oi human! What's your ideal type?
Mc: Strong and Tough
Mammon: Once I killed ten mosquitos-
Mc: But also who are sensitive
Mammon: -and after killing them, I cried for an hour.
devil's minion or whatever you guys talking about all day
if you’re the dead wife and i’m the dead wife then who’s looking back at the gates of the underworld????
"You could just use ai" yeah well I could also just kill you.
I am a grown ass adult and I still get nausea when I feel like I'm in trouble. They're gonna send me to the principals office and take away my toys for a week. Can you just fucking kill me instead of making me stew in my fucking anxiety
I love baba Jaga, we have her in Polish folktales too and she's iconic. I always assumed that Jaga is her name because of how it works grammatically in polsih
“In Russian, Baba Yaga’s name is not capitalized. Indeed, it is not a name at all, but a description—“old lady yaga” or perhaps “scary old woman.” There is often more than one Baba Yaga in a story, and thus we should really say “a Baba Yaga,” “the Baba Yaga.” We do so in these tales when a story would otherwise be confusing. We have continued the western tradition of capitalizing Baba Yaga, since the words cannot be translated and have no other meaning in English (aside perhaps from the pleasant associations of a rum baba). There is no graceful way to put the name in the plural in English, and in Russian tales multiple iterations of Baba Yaga never appear at the same time, only in sequence: Baba Yaga sisters or cousins talk about one another, or send travelers along to one another, but they do not live together. The first-person pronoun “I” in Russian, ‘ia,’ is also uncapitalized. In some tales our witch is called only “Yaga.” A few tales refer to her as “Yagishna,” a patronymic form suggesting that she is Yaga’s daughter rather than Yaga herself. (That in turn suggests that Baba Yaga reproduces parthenogenetically, and some scholars agree that she does.) The lack of capitalization in every published Russian folktale also hints at Baba Yaga’s status as a type rather than an individual, a paradigmatic mean or frightening old woman. This description in place of a name, too, could suggest that it was once a euphemism for another name or term, too holy or frightening to be spoken, and therefore now long forgotten.”

why is privacy so eroded. I get treated like a nutcase if I say no, I don't want strange companies taking pictures of my home and putting them online for maps or whatever. I don't want to be in the background of your tiktok, and I think it's weirder for you to assume I'm okay with it than it is for me to politely ask you to refilm it so my face isn't in the frame. I don't enjoy handing my employer a list of every online account I have and feeling under surveillance when I'm just shit posting or sharing pictures of my cats or garden harvest. I don't want to hear your private calls on speaker on the bus, esp when the person on the line doesn't know you're broadcasting their words to strangers. I don't want an algorithm guessing what will piss me off the most so I spend more time online, engaging with shit I don't want to see or hear out of outrage. I don't want any of this. it's total ass.
I have to mention JWJ _Holloway's audio rps. They're sooo good and it's a shame that he's so underrated. He has impressive range and voices all the characters himself (if he had anyone else voice a character I don't remember). Not all of his rps are romance and focus on other types of relationships like parental, friendship, and mentor/protege which I enjoy.
Please give his stuff a watch, I recommend his SCP Hunters, steampunk mechanic, daughter of Kahn, Valentino, Russian and Viking audio rps.

Jedi are absolute adrenaline junkies at their hearts of hearts and I respect that.
you know in retrospect it's weird that the splatooniverse has a band called "the squid sisters" when, like... they Are squids. that's like if the real world had a band called "the human league"
i truthfully believe everything bad and/or insane thats happened in the last 10 years can be traced to that goddamn gorilla in 2016 its not even like its linked to that incident but it all started with him i think he was holding the balance of the universe together or something. its like they killed an old god without realizing and now we realize just how much we needed him
He/They trans & agender 🪰 20' still alive(?)
