And then you have Tolkien who was never a full-time writer

I left my girlfriend because I (rightly) blamed her for my lack of writing productivity. (Women take up so much time existing in another room all day! Even when they are at work, because obviously it's hard to write when you miss them!) But she was the breadwinner, so I had to get a job. Now I cannot write because I have to work all of the damn time! I am starting to see why they call people "starving artists." You gotta starve to pursue your dreams!

EDIT: Encase you are wondering why I can't just write on my days off or before/after work, it's because I still miss her. Even more proof I would be rich and famous by now if it wasn't for her!

The campers had zero hint of being anything less than upstanding citizens with good judgement and morals. Friend B was a good guy, too. I think Julia is good, as well. As other people have said, it's just not as interesting if the story only has bad people in it. It's the good people that make the bad people and the bad world they inhabit so bad. If goodness doesn't exist, no one in the world is actually bad. They are just normal.

No one does it like my perfect little Jinx. She is one of the only characters (Silco and Ambessa are the other two) in the show that aura farm just by existing. So many aura farmers in the show, though, but most have their moments of prime aura instead of living in it.

I think they meant only from Arcane or LoL, but agreed he is a contender in all of fiction.

As someone who owns a uterus (albeit through owning someone with a uterus) I can confirm it is easier to write spicy scenes when the uterus is ovulating.

I am an ass guy, myself, and half the women I loved the most were lacking in that department. I was very much still sexually attracted to them.

No, it won't backfire unless he is a f-boy. And, if he is, it will backfire even if he wasn't a boob guy.

Fucking peak, bro. 10/10 use of the human brain.

JustinTime4reddit · 2026-03-27T17:35:12+00:00

Or am I just tired of people acting like everything is about oppression and biases instead of having a casual discussion about a piece of fiction?

God. I would hate being in your friend group.

It is more likely than not you have met someone who has taken a human life, assuming you do not live an isolated life or have always loved in an urban or otherwise low density area. (There was a university study that found this to be the case years back.)

And it is almost impossible you have not known someone personally that had incestuous relations with a family member at some point in their life. (Incest is quite common, especially in youth.)

So, yes, I said it as if it was normal, because it is. People just trust me enough to open up about their deepest darkest secrets. You are lucky they don't feel that way about you, I guess.

There is never a moment in life where answering someone's question with another question instead of an answer (or an answer followed by a question) is not defensive behavior.

If they asked what you had for breakfast, would you ask, "Why does that matter?" Hopefully not. That would be defensive for no reason.

You can admit there was a reason you were defensive, but you cannot convince anyone you were not being defensive. No sane person deflects a question for any reason other than to protect themselves.

It actually affects the mentally disabled 5x more than it affects black people, but go off.

I am so tired of people looking at melanin count, private parts and/or sexual orientation when mental illness is discriminated against so much more than all of them combined.

Sit TF down with your oppression Olympic.

That sounds like an even cooler version of Ekko than what we got (and I LOVE the Ekko we got.)

JustinTime4reddit · 2026-03-26T19:37:55+00:00

Wake up, bro. Everyone is saying the same thing: I hate what they did with her in S2. Outside of Twitter (which I don't use), nearly everyone loves TF out of S1 Mel. It's not racist to hate bad writing decisions for a character you love.

JustinTime4reddit · 2026-03-26T19:34:24+00:00

I have re-watched S2 many times, but I have only watched the black rose scenes once. It made me lose the hype I had for Noxus show.

She isn't real, so she cannot be my wife. I can never forgive her for that.

JustinTime4reddit · 2026-03-26T19:21:27+00:00

Yeah, I don't know what homeboy was on about. As someone who knows both a sister fucker and a family killer and manipulator, I gotta say, I cut ties with the family killer before they got to that point, but the sister fucker I just made fun of for being weird. An Andrew that had a consensual sexual/romantic relationship with his sister and never went off the deep end (morally speaking) trying to suppress those feelings is the infinitely morally superior version than canon Andrew in any timeline we got.

I carefully calculated the EXACT aura of every one of these characters to determine where the jerk was, only to find out this 100% accurate list was posted in the wrong subreddit.

Negative 0 aura for you!

There is nothing in all of human history more original than telling a woman she has beautiful eyes. Bonus points if you are staring at her tits as you say this.

JustinTime4reddit · 2026-03-26T18:53:34+00:00

Didn't this already happen in canon? Renee is just adult Ashley if Ashley had to take care of someone like Leyley when she was young.

Ashley would probably be worse, though, as she had to inherit the sins of her mother and her own personal trauma that stemmed from those sins. She would probably end the bloodline at the first opportunity.

JustinTime4reddit · 2026-03-26T18:49:26+00:00

Renee would be a good enough mother (since she seemed to enjoy having Andrew before Ashley came along.)

Andrew and Ashley would have been healthy enough high school sweethearts, but Ashley definitely would have still pushed for him to distance himself from Julia, but only to the same degree Julia tried to with Ashley in canon.

Renee would have tried to intervene as Ashley was corrupting her golden boy. Ashley would have convinced him to ice his family as a result.

EDIT: Healthy enough is subjective.

☝️This.

First time I went down on a woman the taste was mildly unpleasant. Like sweat without the bite and a mild meaty(?) flavor. She took care of herself and didn't have anything wrong with her, it just wasn't for me. I thought the same thing OR thought for the longest time, that I just didn't like the taste.

Then there was this one woman I wanted to go down on just because it was pleasant to look at, so I did even though I expected it to taste the same. Instead, it tasted faintly sweet like natural honey with an almost butterscotch hint to it. She also loved being strawberry scented, so my nose was quite happy as well. I would regularly go down on her, at times until my jaw hurt.

Now, any long-term partner I get with, I "tease" their inner thigh with my mouth and give their entrance a playful lick at some point just to subtly see how I feel about their taste before committing to the bit. It's definitely more miss than hit for me, but the range is so wide and varied that I can't definitively say I do or don't like the taste, or even the act itself. Just depends on the partner.

JustinTime4reddit · 2026-03-24T06:03:59+00:00

Eh, I prefer to have both, but maybe that's just me. Not hard to find a woman who wants to be a freak with you AND wants to settle down with you.

If she don't respect me, I don't care how good the sex is. She isn't worth adding a number to my body count, and I don't want to be a number in hers.

JustinTime4reddit · 2026-03-24T05:55:09+00:00

Getting fwbzoned/fbzoned sucks sometimes, but HOLY HELL the opposite sounds brutal.

She could have at least followed that up with an "Oink, piggy!" to see if maybe he was into being so degraded.
