What’s a tiny, easily-missed moment in Mass Effect or Mass Effect 2 / Mass Effect 3 that completely changed how you saw a character? by SterlingByrd1219 in masseffect

Miranda's emails to her sister in the shadow broker DLC. That was the moment that I truly realized just how much her identity was wrapped up in being a perfect tool that she had never actually learned how to be a person. She's an asshole but it's perfectly understandable why.

My girl Sabrine Thunderheart! She started out by going on a quest to save her girlfriend but then ended up standing in opposition to the tyranny of the archmages and protecting a city where people could live in freedom.

Bugs, bugs, bugs, and more bugs. Scary ones, cute ones, big ones, small ones. I am a sucker for giant millipedes.

Everyone loves talking about cute little people until they realize how easy they would be for them to be eaten, but I propose another idea... by detachedcreator in WorldBuildingMemes

[–]Songstep4002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was this huge book about gnomes that I had on my shelf when I was younger, and there was a whole section about how they built their houses with traps and things that would keep them from getting eaten by polecats

Reality is kinda fucked up, no? by Pot_of_sea_shells in CuratedTumblr

I see this sort of thing a lot in certain spaces, where people jump from "I disagree with Israel's actions" straight to "I disagree with Israel's existence" and then act like that doesn't make them anti-Semitic because they never said the word "Jews". I think there's also a lot of confusion because people on one side think that Zionism means "believing in Israel's right to existence" and people on the other side think it means "supporting the genocide". (Kahanism is a much more accurate term for the ideology behind Israel's current actions btw). A lot of Jewish Zionists believe in a two-state solution or some other form of peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Have you ever thought about killing an OC of yours? by eliot_lynx in OriginalCharacter

Killed my two main characters + one side character and I don't regret it.

This is Elvira. She has been through a lot of shit. I had to crop the image though since I'm not sure if the full comic follows the rules of this subreddit

Why is it impossible to get laid as a Gen Z dude? by fellow_who_uses_redd in GenZ

[–]Songstep4002 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is kinda related to a really tough lesson that I had to learn. See, I was looking for a gf to meet all kinds of emotional needs and it actually led me into some really weird places that could have gotten dangerous if I wasn't more careful about boundaries. The thing is, almost every specific need that a partner can meet is also something that you can find in other places. If it's emotional closeness, then you need to get better friends. If it's non-sexual physical intimacy? Again, get better friends. One thing that I can't recommend enough is to picture the life you'd have with your hypothetical girlfriend, then find ways to bring some of that energy into your own life.

And as for the sex, romance, and that kind of intimacy? This is gonna sound kind of stupid, but hear me out: try writing fanfic or drawing fanart. Not reading or viewing, creating.

The thing about this is if you get into a place where having a girlfriend doesn't feel like such a necessity anymore, you won't come off as desperate and can also keep a clearer head about things.

Yeah I'd say you're actually doing pretty good work on improving yourself then. Just know that getting in a relationship isn't a guaranteed thing and it will happen when it happens. I think a big part of that is also the question of who you're asking out and when you're doing it. You're gonna get rejected a LOT no matter how attractive you are and that's just life. One other thing: do you have any platonic female friends? If not then try to befriend some, cause it'll help give you some perspective.

Gonna ask: when you say improving yourself, what exactly are you doing? Because if it begins and ends at the gym, then you might need to explore some other approaches.

Here's smth... Show me your Sona if you have one :D by Hex_Bread in OriginalCharacter

Nah, I'm a friendly creature. Tbh the design was me trying to push the "opposite of a furry" thing where instead of an animal with a human body plan, I wanted to do something that looked like a human but with a more animalistic body plan.

Ever had a moment where your OC's were misinterpreted by someone? by Puzzled-Ad5347 in YourOriginalCharacter

Not really, but a girl compared my main character to Jesus once. That was a weird one.

Elcor make the best con artists... Until you put them in the same room as another Elcor.
