Things became a lot easier when i realized i don't hate cooking, i just like being able to experiment without worrying about sticking to a particular recipe. I don't hate math, i just like being able to put information together in my own way and at my own pace rather than ascribing to a rigid educational system. Art doesn't have to just be realism. Poetry doesn't have to rhyme. Exercise doesn't have to take place in a gym. We're all just throwing different ingredients in the pan and seeing what tastes good as we go along.

You know what?

I am annoying sometimes.

And that’s okay. It’s not the death sentence I was led to believe. People will love me even if I can’t read their signals sometimes. Not understanding is forgivable. I don’t have to hold myself back so I don’t annoy anyone ever.

The people who love me know I get excited. And I am still loved.

whenever i see a baby in public i wish i were like a powerful faerie god mother character who could give the baby a gift like “you’ll never get a cold” or “math will always make sense to you” or something like bein’ great with string instruments but I don’t have any powers that I know of but it doesn’t stop me from trying so every time I see a baby in public I tell the adult with it “what a beautiful baby” and it makes them smile and then I pretend I can take the goodness of their smile and I look at the baby and I think very hard “you will have a good life, even if it’s hard, you will end up happy” and I’m just hopin’ the magic kicks in at some point

faerie: for your service, I will grant you one boon me: cool can it be the power to grant boons faerie, looking through the manual: uh,

i ask him, “well, what did you tell her?”

let him tell me the joke/repeat the conversation

look him straight in the eye

“that’s not funny, steve, that’s sexual harassment and you should have been arrested.”

watch him open and close his mouth like a fish for 4-5 seconds

return to previous conversational topic

Sometimes I think Bethesda’s real problem isn’t that they started with a combat system and implemented every other gameplay activity as an extension of that combat system regardless of whether it makes any damn sense to do so; it’s that they don’t take that approach far enough. I kind of want to see them take a page from certain tabletop RPGs and model social interaction as a tactical exercise in using your charisma to punch your conversation partner in the willpower until they experience ego-death and give you what you want. Use VATS to give yourself time to think up snappy comebacks. I think that would work out great.

A cover-based snarker where you duck behind waist-high subject changes to let your aura of smug detachment recharge.

Deploy uncomfortably personal revelations at point-blank range and die of embarrassment from the splash damage.

Combine NPC companion social dysfunctions and adaptive behaviors into sick combo and special finisher moves.

Debuff your enemies’ INT by saying something so asinine that everyone who hears it is made dumber thereby.

Repeatedly making the same ridiculous arguments and claims will inflict the Berserk status on your opponent, decreasing the accuracy of their arguments

The damage types are Confused, Frightened, Tired, Angry and Horny. Each one has an associated status effect. Some advanced techniques and combos are dual type – Confused/Horny is an especially effective typing because nobody has resistance to both Confused and Horny damage except that one secret boss.

The secret boss is Buddha.

Okay, now you’ve got me picturing the damage types I just bullshitted arranged into a matchup graph like Five Element Theory, with a generative cycle (e.g., Tired generates Confused) and a overcoming cycle (e.g., Frightened overcomes Horny) and so forth.

Actually, hold on…

what if the teenage mutant ninja turtles exist in the mcu but they’re just really good at staying under the radar and criminals are too embarrassed to admit they got beat up by some guys in “turtle costumes” so they blame daredevil. peter parker worked as a pizza delivery boy for a while and brought like eight pizzas to a man hole cover but thought nothing of it bc nyc

peter parker: i once was one minute late delivering pizza and the dude was like “forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza” 

clint barton: oh cool u met one of the tmnt 

literally everyone: who 

clint: am i the only one in this goddamn city who knows about the crimefighting turtles that live in the sewers 

(they all think clint is playing an elaborate prank on them, especially when he shows them a photo of four guys wearing what are ‘very obviously halloween costumes’)

fun fact: it’s TMNT canon that the chemical container that hit Matt Murdock across the face and gave him his Daredevil abilities is the same canister that landed on the baby turtles and mutated them, so…..y’all aren’t far off

i’m sorry it’s WHAT

TMNT started as a Daredevil parody.

Matt’s teacher is Stick. The turtle’s is Splinter.

Matt’s enemy is the Hand. The turtle’s is the Foot Clan.

It was originally a dark, edgy, turtle themed parody of Daredevil.
