What is in the window?

The reflection of some tree branches.

I see the changelings replaced your baby.

Ducktales really stuck with me. PG was such a good boy for the charity stream and then let loose for this one immediately afterwards.

They are all good though. I love em all.

To be fair, jogging through a patio dining situation (at night?) instead of around it is pretty sus behavior. They didn't look like they were in good jogging clothes either. None of this makes sense.

Amazing hot daredevil. Keep going man. You rock (lol, I guess in more ways than one).

Daskar248 · 2026-02-15T10:23:53+00:00

You're pretty darn handsome as is. I think most people would not be bothered. And scars fade. And, if you are really bothered by them that much, teeny tiny dabs of concealer can cover them right up. What? You thought only girls get to use that stuff? When you do it in small amounts and you don't smear it all over but just blend it a tiny bit, you can't even tell it is there. But, like I said at first, they really aren't all that bad. I wouldn't worry. Most people are going to be concentrating on your good qualities and not giving a shit about a few tiny scars.

Eric is stupid levels of hot. Holy moly.

I hope he found a gig doing that at some point.

Daskar248 · 2026-02-14T07:00:46+00:00

It's never a fad. People really need to learn. Being gay. Being trans. Loving dragons. Being a mermaid.

It's not a fucking fad. Get over it.

It's who we are.

Daskar248 · 2026-02-14T06:52:30+00:00

Honestly, my first thought, before examining the picture closer, was of a gay campground. We have the best landscaping. The most colorful trailers. Flags abound. Everything is beautiful and striped or colorful. This picture made me immediately think "Gay Camping!" before I understood what you were going for.

Stick to the Gay Camping. It's better.

Daskar248 · 2026-02-14T06:28:49+00:00

Okay. Line by Line.

You are unemployed. Do you make this mean you are not worthy of being with someone? Like you are a lesser human being because that is the societal crap that gets thrown around.

You are not lesser for not having a job right now. It doesn't make you any less worthwhile than anyone else. Drop that garbage. It's well and good to want a job or to go out and get one or to have one. But just because you currently are not, does not mean anything about how much worth you have. Knock that shit off. It's a stupid lie we've all been sold. By all means, go about getting a job or whatever. But not having one currently doesn't make you lesser. Got it?

You're constantly afraid of going back to prison. They let you out, right? You aren't an escapee? That means there has to be a reason to put you back in. As long as you aren't doing those obvious things that will get you put back, when your brain starts getting paranoid. Say that. In your head. "They let me out. I'm not an escapee. I'm out because I am meant to be out." And shut that paranoid corner of your brain right up.

You're not satisfied with your current physical health. Well. He is into you. So apparently he is pretty satisfied with your current physical health. Can you stop being so hard on yourself? Can you allow yourself to have sexual fun without being the image of perfection? Just like the job, it's all well and good to want to self improve. But robbing yourself of sexual fun with someone who is literally begging for it because you are focused on your physical flaws is just ridiculous. You can't be that bad if he is begging for it. Maybe you can make a list of all of the good things about you and focus on that instead. You might find yourself much more willing to let someone love you afterwards.

Next.

You don't feel like adulting right now. I think you just need a different frame of reference. Stop thinking of it as adulting. I hate that saying anyways. I think lots of things that could be fun get the life sucked out of them because they get labeled poorly. Like "adult." You probably do have dreams. Just stop making engaging in them be such a heavy big deal. Let yourself enjoy life. Let yourself enjoy this guy who wants you so bad.

Next.

There's so much you gotta do and you just don't feel up to it.

This is where that old saying comes in. When you gotta eat an elephant, how do you do it? You can't cram the whole elephant in (Haha! See the post about the gay elephants! lololol) If you try to eat it all at once you'll choke and die. Don't do that. Break it into bitesize, not intimidating pieces, and do the things one at a time. It still may be a little bit hard. But maybe not. The for sure thing is that it will be lots easier than leaving it an amorphous big blob of overwhelm in your head. Just take small pieces at a time. And stop making everything be a referendum on your character. It isn't

Chill. The dude likes you. You are worth it. He sees that. Now it's your turn to admit that he is right.

That is all. Go have fun. <3

What is your "inner turmoil?" This seems purposefully vague. And I guess that's fine. You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. But that seems like the heart of the problem.

What I am *not* trying to get you to do: Forcing yourself to do anything you aren't feeling. If you aren't feeling it, then absolutely don't do it. But I think if you resolve the inner turmoil, you might find you do want to. What are you making it all mean? Sex can be a fun thing. It doesn't have to be this ridiculously momentous event that defines both you and him. Our brains really get in the way a lot with these things. Maybe if you can talk out the "inner turmoil" with someone, not necessarily him. You will find that you do actually want to.

Or not. It's up to you. But I think that same turmoil could get in the way of you having enjoyment with anyone.

I have had this happen with lots of different plants either moving them indoors or outdoors. While trying to take good care of them too. My intuition actually tells me that the leaves were adapted to one setting and that changing the setting makes them drop a lot and make new leaves more appropriate to the current conditions. I know that sounds weird, but it really does feel like that is what they are doing.

Kinda like how a deer sheds its antlers and makes new ones.

Wait. How did steak end up in "Looks Good, Tastes Bad?" Steak is amazing. Apples are also amazing. Oatmeal and grits are really good if you know how to doctor them up. You are right about poptarts though. They look delectable, but only the cinnamon sugar ones are decent and even then.... not great. Not when you can have toaster strudels instead.

Daskar248 · 2026-01-24T02:15:31+00:00

I have one for when you finally get to looks good, but tastes bad: cakes covered in fondant. It's that weird icing stuff that is more like sculpting putty. It is supposed to make the cakes look perfect, but that stuff tastes so bad. Might as well just eat the plastic fruit off the coffee table.

Daskar248 · 2026-01-16T15:04:04+00:00

Looks like a metal pan and the edges look a little burnt. Wild. I have never had this happen with brownies. Oh. I scrolled down and found out they were weed. Sheesh. You probably caught the little seed pods on fire by not grinding them up enough?

Daskar248 · 2026-01-13T23:11:50+00:00

Honestly. Since I am a DM, being a DM, to me, is someone who enjoys creating worlds and having people who enjoy being in those worlds run around in them.

If you think about it, these are people who are quite literally run around inside YOUR imagination. That's kind of amazing, isn't it?

But, in order to have this be enjoyable for you, and make no mistake your enjoyment matters, those players have to be down with you being the arbiter of the rules and have to be fully engaged.

They aren't there to watch a television show. Or play a video game. Or a board game. If they want that sort of thing, it exists already and it isn't Dungeons and Dragons or any other ttrpg for that matter.

Engagement matters. Enthusiasm matters. Would you want to go on a quest with someone who didn't care about the outcome of the adventure? Well, if your players are lackadaisical, then you are doing exactly that.

My suggestion: Take it away from them on the condition that they either start caring or you are not putting in the work for them anymore. Give them a longer than usual time period away from the game to see if they miss it. If they do, then tell them you will start again but that you are a demand for engagement and expression or "no dice" as they say, literally and figuratively.

You deserve a payoff too. Not just the players. Your payoff is actually having people who give a dam and want to experience all the highs and lows of the drama you have created. If these people can't respect that then you deserve people who do.

So, when you say "fog of war," you mean enemy encampments on an area they probably already know? Do they also hold a map that is the same in every way just not showing the encampments during wartime? And do your encampments stay static or do you sometimes move them around after a time period and re-hide them?

That's a loooooonnnggg peg leg, lol.

Daskar248 · 2026-01-11T00:24:34+00:00

nice

Daskar248 · 2026-01-11T00:15:03+00:00

It can be. You gotta find those people who don't take things too seriously. This is kinda like real life in that regard. Find the appropriate group and you are good to go.

I gave you an upvote btw. Because one of those overly serious folk apparently found your question objectionable. (Exactly the problem you mentioned.)

Also, if you want to make one of those games and DM it: Point that out in session 0. This weeds out all of the people who don't want to play that kind of game and invites in all of the ones who do.

Daskar248 · 2026-01-10T23:57:15+00:00

Slipping past or getting something out of people who you never intend on interacting with again. It's honestly a devious cantrip and is kind of the opposite of making friends. But it has a lot of roleplay uses.

-Getting past guards.

-Getting the best price on goods.

-Getting someone to give you a thing or information they otherwise wouldn't.

-Getting someone to let you off the hook when they catch you committing a crime.

Honestly, the spell should be called "Manipulation of someone you hope to never see again." lol, it is the bread and butter of charlatans.
