whatever the true reason is for Kipperlilly hating Riz specifically, there is something uniquely hilarious to me about the idea of this high strung rogue harboring this pathological, foaming-at-the-mouth-with-hatred, one-sided rivalry with another rogue student for two whole years, and then she shows up to the first day of junior year and gets read for filth by his cleric friend, who goes on the immediately surpass all previous levels of hatred and create a two-sided rivalry that the original rival is just tagging along with because of Friend Duties. absolutely hysterical that Riz hates Kipperlilly out of disdain for the ratgrinders and solidarity with Kristen, meanwhile Kipperlilly's main-character rivalry with Riz was usurped in roughly .5 seconds by Kristen Applebees whipping out "What are you, like, four dogs?"

listen i'm just as obsessed with Lucy Frostblade as any other person when presented with this beautiful and sweet image of a character the PCs will never interact with... but there is something to be said about dead girl fascination. and that is precisely the whole thing that emily was ironically pointing out with the Complicated Women podcast and the "nothing i could get my rocks off to" comment : the fact that we won't ever meet her is what allows people to milk the character out of its inherent tragedy and ultimately of its depth. we only get to know her through two-line statements that obviously are unable to describe a full person and can be summarized in a few words - beautiful, sad, kind - reducing her to the most idealized traits ever... i wish we could have seen the complexity of a living Lucy Frostblade. i wish we could have witnessed her struggling to engage with her goddess whenever the cold and the loneliness felt like too much ; seen her wondering about who she would be if she wasn't made from frost and sadness, trying to balance her cleric domain and her will to live and be happy ; i wish we could have seen her get mad at her friends for stomping on the rats, or trying to talk them out of hating those other popular kids who didn't even know of their existence. i wish we had seen Lucy alive, because then people would have loved more than just the idea of her, more than just this tall shadow cast on her aborted future, this perfect image frozen in time, because she wasn't allowed to live long enough to show all of its cracks.

I feel very old because only 8% of us voted for mononoke: it was the first ghibli movie to get to cinemas here

Princess Mononoke was the first widespread American theatrical release, but iirc, several ghibli got VHS releases before that and my nerd uncle bought us Totoro and Kiki’s Delivery Service when we were around the target age.

what's so interesting about religion in the dnd world is that since their deities are proven real, religion isn't a matter of faith, but a matter of patronage. it's a matter of "i like this deity/ruleset/thing better". it's like sports teams.

kristen, meanwhile, has a deity who may very well be gone. dead. so not only is she already one of the most skilled clerics to have ever lived--she's resurrected herself from the dead, and single-handedly created gods--but she's got a religious one-up on every other priest, cleric, etc. out there, even though her religion has a total population of 1 person:

kristen applebees is quite literally the only cleric to practice actual faith.

when fantasy high said "you are worthy of love no matter what you do in this world" and when it said "you are not a coward, you have a goddamn medical condition" and when it said "if you choose to care, then the universe cares" and when it said "expectation without love, what's that?" and when it said "here's to getting it right on the next try" and when it said "it's nice to have a person who understands, even if we're not the same" and when it said "work is an act of love" and when it said "it's gorgug, keep going" and when it said "i don't know what i will be, but i like the direction i'm going" and when it said "you don't have to be the same forever" and when it said "i think that the only answer is that you have to keep looking for love" and when it said "it's not about deserving" and when it said "i just wanted to hold their hand when they couldn't see" and when it said "you're easy to love and anyone who couldn't figure it out was a real bozo" and when it said

They have several large circular leaves that spread out around them, almost hiding them. A couple small caterpillars are crawling around the stem, and a small green moth is fluttering just above it. /End ID].

the mental image of this guy selling stock as the plane is depressurising around him is irresistible to me

I don't think this would be illegal. Insider trading requires nonpublic knowledge from inside the company. Airplane door blowing off? Not nonpublic, not insider knowledge. You're just fast.

Correct. You're not an insider to the company although you are (and hopefully remain) an insider to the plane, and you're not receiving any material non-public info as plane crashes are VERY public events. You're in the clear for buying puts while your plane goes down. I'm sure your next of kin will appreciate your priorities.

This guy is selling stock as the plane is plummeting out of the air at terminal velocity, while the person next to him is leaving a scathing 1 star review. The person behind them is doing a pov tiktok calling out the company. Boeing is fucking finished

had a major containment breach on my "nasa is shooting rockets named apep at the eclipse" post and now people keep explaining to me how even if nasa wanted to it couldn't destroy the sun with those rockets because the sun is very large and far away and I have this horrible urge to start replying like "actually this is incorrect, nasa summoned the sun devouring serpent and it ate the sun and now the sun is gone 🫤" just double down sharks are smooth style

So Mary Ann Skuttle asked Gorgug if it was mango soda right?? And then Brennan mentions that she walks away with mango soda at the end of the interaction, right??

do you think she wanted to connect with him? That in seeing the difference between the rat grinders and the bad kids she learned for the genuine love and connection that the bad kids have?? Do you think she wanted to be friends???

potential reasons kipperlily has hated riz since day one:

1. riz didn't give her a business card

2. riz did give her a business card but she did an american psycho style analysis of it and did not like what the card told her

3. a goblin getting dunked in a trashcan killed her mother

4. a briefcase killed her mother

5. has a crush on riz and is taking the tweet that's like "one time I had a crush on a girl and I put a note in her locker telling her to leave the school" to the next level

6. has a crush on a different bad kid and is mad at riz for becoming the rogue of the group before she had a chance

Brennan making one of the questions for the Last Stand an actual anagram for Night Yorb and the players' first reaction being 'Garthy O'Brien' is the funniest thing ever
