Keep seeing pronoun positivity posts is about he/they and she/theys. That's cool and all but this one's for the she/hes. If you're a she/he I love you and you can take as much mint as you want from our garden
Is this a positivity post or a secret cry for help? OP, how bad is the mint situation?
It's both the mint situation is fucking severe

Quick Biography
Born to the dynastic house Ledaal, Sayuri was an admirable student and very aesthetically poised, on top of being something of a beauty. This made her a desirable prospect for marriage, but when her parents struck an engagement for her to someone she couldn’t stand, Sayuri surprised everyone by volunteering for military service to avoid the wedding. She took the first out she could find: the Wyld Hunt.
Unfortunately, not only did Sayuri loathe military life, being a part of the Wyld Hunt presented her with an even worse problem. Not long after she joined the ranks, the Hunt was called out to put down a recently-Exalted Solar. The Solar in question was a teenage girl who had been trying to shut down a human trafficking ring. Instead, she had been shut down by dozens of heavily armed Dragonbloods. When Sayuri asked if they were also going to deal with the human traffickers, she was told it was none of the Wyld Hunt’s concern. (In fact, there were decent odds that some of the money from the flesh trade was making it into dynastic coffers.) Rather than be suspected as an Anathema-sympathizer or get a reputation for questioning orders, Sayuri ditched this new obligation, too, deserting the Wyld Hunt the first chance she got, and striking out into the Threshold on her own. She soon took up with a roving band of unattached Dragonbloods who called themselves mercenaries in order to make some income, but it soon became apparent that they were just thugs. Their leader, Najir, blackmailed Sayuri into staying, threatening to turn her in to the Realm for desertion if she gave him trouble.
Trapped in yet another situation she didn’t want, Sayuri played along until one day Najir’s band tried to rob the small frontier town of Pelt. Unfortunately, this time the half-dozen dragons were utterly outmatched by the three Celestial Exalts defending the town. Rachna alone took out Najir with one slash, and gave the remaining dragons an ultimatum: either leave Pelt and never return, or surrender and serve them instead. Several members of the group fled the town. Sayuri stayed.
If asked why she decided to throw in her lot with three ‘Anathema’, Sayuri might’ve answered that she still felt guilty about the teenage girl who had been cut down when she was just trying to make the world a better place. Perhaps she thought that no one had a stronger desire to avoid the Realm than Anathema. Maybe she just felt like she had nowhere else to go.
Likes Fresh air, strong sake, throwing knives, good silk, sarcasm, cold drinks, freedom, sleeping in
Dislikes Being told what to do, rigid social expectations, hot weather, cheap clothes, Immaculate monks/nuns, terrible handwriting
Relationship to
Anjali
Her primary… ‘master’, ‘leader’, and ‘employer’ are all the wrong term for the sort of relationship Anjali has with Sayuri, but regardless, Anjali is the person Sayuri takes most of her cues from, and who she gives the most respect to. This isn’t to say that she sasses off to any of the Celestials (she’s not that brave), but she’s nicer to Anjali. It helps that they’re both scholars, and can talk on similar wavelengths and topics. Sayuri often helps Anjali with old texts, or correspondence, and Anjali finds it useful having another sorcerer around to share the Essence load of spellwork.
Rachna
Sayuri recognizes that Rachna is Anjali’s partner and therefore the most important person in her life, but she is slightly uncomfortable around him. She can’t help but feel as though he doesn’t trust her, even though Sayuri has done nothing to give him a reason to be suspicious of her.
Shem
The recently-Exalted Lunar single dad who lives in Pelt, and who took a personal beef with raiders in his town, Shem chilled out considerably toward Sayuri once the mercenaries were routed and Sayuri mentioned that she hadn’t wanted anything to do with them anyway. He offered to let Sayuri stay in Pelt if she wanted to start over, but Sayuri declined, not wanting to spend the rest of her life in a tiny frontier town with almost no amenities.

Hi I have a question about Pacific Rim. Given that the sparring is just A way to test for drift compatibility and any activity that requires people to collaborate and anticipate each others moves works, including stuff like multi player video games
