i can't wait for my blorbo (agatha albignon) to get to do what she's been training for her whole life: plan the orbosian event wedding of the century to socially launder her family's imperially-backed takeover of the citystate
really enjoying aradia sounding totally delusional. “my prince boyfriend is definitely gonna break off his political engagement and be with me, a nobody, instead” AND SHES RIGHT but it sure doesn’t sound good to anyone who lives in the real world
she's gonna ask breach if he wants to live with her which i'm sure is gonna go great
aradia's to do list in orobos:
- ask church to help faceless people. dont worry about it
- break up w bale
- get own apartment (w gambling money)
- get job?
- continue to pretend adestina doesnt exist
- work on the problem of the impending apocalypse
- work on the problem of being a hyperion battery
(the nature of all of these will vary a lot based on the group and game/ campaign type)
Depends if you're referring to a "session zero" or the first full gameplay session or both, but potentially:
- DM explaining campaign or setting lore/ tone/ context
- group character creation/ everyone else's in-game PC introductions
- rules refresher, if needed
- intro plot hook/ exposition
show's over
are we being scammed by Big Hair Product 😭
nobody likes it when i say im not "naturally pretty" i just got that specific kind of lite girltism where you mask by being hot but this thread reads like evidence huh
this all sounds neurotic and the iterating/ fine-tuning part sucks so bad, but it's freeing once you arrive at a clear success state, because you can finally dismiss everything else as noise. instagram influencers have no power over me. I Know More Than You etc
this also applies to clothes and it's an even more annoying process with clothes. yeah sorry i can only wear like six specific colors and every piece has to fit at least two of my arcane list of mental criteria regarding fit, drape, style, fabric, brand and flourishes
and the secret to my skincare is the extremely-specific-to-me discovery that i have to be chemically exfoliating at all times. no, more than you're thinking. "what's your routine" oh i'm locked in an arms race with my skin barrier, that's just me though
for example ive stopped using conditioner altogether because i suspect my hair is too fine for it (replaced w a very minimal misting of leave-in spray), and the last two weeks ive had multiple people comment on how great my hair looks. but nobody would EVER recommend NOT USING CONDITIONER
to be a beautiful woman you have to try every grooming ritual there is and eventually narrow down to the things that work for you with such ruthless specificity that it sounds insane to describe
Twenty-nine people have died in ICE custody since October, the start of the federal government's fiscal year, already surpassing 2004's toll of 28, the previous record, according to government data. n.pr/4sLetjV
homeowning is annoying and expensive like everyone says but then i remember for 30 seconds the psychological warfare of my median rental experience and i'm like nevermind. love my house
I think the venue we’re performing this show in is giving me hives. like a literal allergic reaction
idk i think they could have chosen a scarier word for this popup. not ominous enough
i love how broken this site is. feels like home (twitter)
when you create new works that directly iterate on classics, I think it’s important and a sign of good taste to recognize where you can’t and shouldn’t even try to improve upon the original
so real of tom stoppard to end Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead with just straight up the original ending tableau of hamlet

he showed up to a mostly empty auditorium, got heckled by anti war protesters opposing the war he just humiliatingly failed to negotiate an end to, erika kirk stood him up, and he tried to explain catholicism to the pope. the only way he could’ve had a worse time is if he pissed his pants up there.
oh totally, plus "online" becoming an option for socialization at all. people drink at home but it's not uniquely more convenient or obvious than anything else, vs a bar which has a bartender and the peer conformity of everyone drinking together
im not attaching any moralizing to any of this btw. i think the human impulse to routinely use substances to improve upon raw reality and biology is value-neutral in and of itself
the kids don't need to drink to take the edge off of life or for social energy, they're vaping and addicted to energy drinks
im still pondering this thread and modern medical/ chemical/ drug use and i wonder if alcohol use diminishing in younger demographics (generally chalked up to surveillance culture) was always inevitable as other, more specific problem-solving substances became widely accessible
"this artificial sweetener is bad for you" ok and i'm also microdosing legal mushrooms, injecting PRP for vanity reasons, drinking from plasticware, and taking enough vitamin D to kill a horse. what's your point
not to sound crunchy bc i sort of mean it in an opposite way but is anybody's body NOT a science experiment right now with everyone's blood full of glp-1s/ peptides/ HRT/ cosmetic injectables/ supplementmaxxing/ the various evils of processed food/ microplastics
