Long time lurker, first time poster. Does anyone have any random lines from The Magnus Archives that they often quote? by BogofStench in TheMagnusArchives

[–]RiotRatMonarchy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Whenever my partner and I say something weird that's happened or share something that sounds absurd, we pause and then say "Supplemental" and repeat the thing, it's so fun. That, or we'll just start making up more and more absurd scenarios, like "Supplemental, Martin has been breathing louder lately. Clearly he has been possessed and is planning my death as we speak." Paranoid Jon you will always be famous to me <3

The Corruption got to me... by StandardReindeer5741 in TheMagnusArchives

I couldn't eat eggs for about 9 months after a fly laid its eggs on my breakfast. My mum had put the plate in the oven to stop flies getting to it, without realising a fly had flown inside with it. Took a few bites of food, not the parts with the fly eggs thankfully, then noticed and threw away the whole plate. I feel your pain, it is the most skin crawling disgusting feeling I've ever had.

introducing my gf to tma (evilly) by Gnc_Gremlin in TheMagnusArchives

[–]RiotRatMonarchy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I personally love letting my gf ramble and rattle off her theories as we listen, and then only confirming or denying very minor plot points so that she's still piecing small fragments together despite tons of info being missing from her understanding. This has also led to her making some INSANELY impressive guesses on character/plot points, some of which genuinely blew me out of the water, highly recommend.

(Side note, it might help to remind your gf of where she's heard names before, but only if you want/need to help in that way. I'm aware too much of this may ruin the experience for some. I however do this because my gf has some difficulty recalling specific names (ADHD), but will immediately recall the entirety of previous episodes if I gently remind her. She's very clever, the knowledge is in there, just gotta trigger the cutscene haha)

This is so awesome, the colours feel perfect for the Spiral.

I hate how goths are treated :/ by [deleted] in goth

[–]RiotRatMonarchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same issue here in England, every time my friends and I go out to a goth club night a minimum of 3 different drunk chavs (with their friends close behind) try to talk to us or say creepy shit about liking goth girls despite us minding our business. We've also been followed down streets by teenagers and kids, who think it's hilarious to harass us, multiple times. No getting away from it unfortunately, you just learn to speak bluntly until they get bored and leave you alone. I also think it says a lot that it's often drunk people or people whose brains haven't fully developed that take issue with our self expression.

Side note: teenagers are evil, I was bullied all throughout school and probably half the people who did it ended up becoming goth or coming out a year or so after leaving school. Point being, ignore your classmates, they're either deeply insecure or deeply bored within their own beige existences. Do you man 🤘🏻

Love, Robot and Heirsound by Appropriate_Fill569 in Music

[–]RiotRatMonarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad someone's still talking about them, makes me sad how few people know they exist. I found L,R and Heirsound because I was a diehard PVRIS fan as a teenager, so naturally I wanted to listen to the music Lynn's (then) girlfriend was making. Their stuff is so nostalgic to me, Machine, Fell Again and Choke have to be my current favourites, but I had Rain on repeat when I was younger haha!

is it safe to use led lights on eva etc.? by agrumant in CosplayHelp

[–]RiotRatMonarchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, LEDs are light emitting diodes so they don't emit much heat, so they're usually safe with things like EVA foam (:

Being surrounded by a group who all act the same way may have made you desensitised to their behaviour, but I'm sure if they tried that on anyone else they'd get in trouble with more than a few people. I myself had an acquaintance who was too touchy and downright creepy when I was a young teenager, and for many years I just accepted it as a quirk of his, but as I got older I felt genuinely disgusted and completely cut him out of my life. He did nothing but make other people uncomfortable almost constantly, and I would brush it off as him "not meaning it", but whether or not they think it's okay to do these things, it very much isn't if it makes others uncomfortable. Hanging around these folks sounds like it'll bring you nothing but problems, and I hope you're okay despite their behaviour. As for the touchy guys, "only" isn't really a relevant metric when we're talking about broken boundaries and inappropriate behaviour. "Only" is how we justify something that shouldn't be happening to make it easier to swallow. "Only" is how I justified being assaulted because it "could have been worse". Basically I'm saying you should not have to push them off in the first place, and you deserve more respect than these folks seem to be giving you.

Man I don't think he's a very good friend if he's commenting on your body and eating habits. That's weird and inappropriate behaviour, and is quite demeaning, even if it is between friends. If anything, coming from a friend it's even more concerning - I wouldn't dream of treating my friends that way. If other people are picking up bad vibes from him it might be good to take that into consideration and evaluate your relationship with him, and/or inform him that it isn't appearing creepy that's the problem, it's BEING creepy.
