yesterday, I got an offer from a job I’ve been interviewing for since the beginning of August

Peeve. I’m feeling left behind by this hobby. I’m discouraged that it feels like in order to play on any of the games where my friends play, I’d have to compromise my comfort and place my trust in people who… I haven’t experienced being all that cool. And I think I feel it even more because for a minute, I had a relatively active little rp bubble before folks moved on to the next thing.

I’m just going to be real with you all. I put in a request letting them know I felt awkward about the gods being white, and my non-white noble house worshipping a white patron god. And you know what? They were like, ‘good lookin out, this is on our list of things to review.’ And it made me feel immediately more comfortable.

I don’t think this beef in the comments is in the spirit of the game runners.

ETA: seeing folks’ pets refills my tank, need more

@sao said in Star Wars Age of Alliances: Hadrix and Cujo:

Man, I miss fighting with higher class reductive trolls like Derp who actually had the substantive background to make these arguments for real.

shut your foul mouth

Mention porn. Reading your char getting talked about in the logs of other folks. Love.

I genuinely do not enjoy running events. Don’t enjoy going to them, either. I like intimate rp, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3. And someday I won’t feel guilty about that. #affirmations

@Juniper excuse me, I said relatively sane

Not a peeve per se, but one of the things I do regret not really doing is engaging with the generational aspects of L&L/fantasy theme yet (in a non-kinky way, SORRY). Even though I closed out my big char on Arx with a kid to contribute to whatever imagined future for her situation, it was kinda just something I tossed in at the end cause it was on my bucket list.

Playing on Concordia did show me that it’s fun as hell to play the royal parent of young adult children* in L&L games.

*if you can manage to get relatively sane players for those characters

I don’t know if anyone else here is in the lit mag world, but this serial plagiarizer dude is becoming like wack-a-mole. Why? Why plagiarize some sweet stranger’s poem or personal essay? There’s no money in this. It’s under various aliases, so there’s no sharing this with real life friends or family. What the actual fuck is wrong with you?

@ten The Black Body in Ecstasy is a good read on that subject. Obviously it centers Black feminism, but a lot of the discourse can be applied elsewhere.

@Jennkryst Fetishization versus empowerment/ownership of desirability is a moving target, mostly dependent on the individual parties involved. I have book recs.

Sad for the staffer who had to write that superheroes don’t lactate. No matter what the story behind that ruling was, sad for them.

Ya’ll need descs for folks using screen readers.

As with the entire char app process, it can also be a great early warning that someone is fucking crazy.

@Testament You know what, that text was unclear and the pic ended up being way bigger than it so it was like almost hidden? And I saw your response, and I decided to just let it ride because it would all sort itself out

@Testament said in MU Peeves Thread:

@Roz I believe it was Auspice a number years ago who was able to actually get an extended conversation with Jill to the point where they almost explained what they do and why they do it.

Sorry to the banned.

@Snackness said in RL Peeves:

@Aria Everything about this is deeply weird.

Now imagine for a moment someone is cold, they’re wearing this, and that’s not where their nipples are in their bra so now it looks like they have like a million nipples.
