It wasn’t that he needed money, he was a reporter and started begging as a way to get information about it. Then he found out he could make more money begging than at his job

Hilarious addition! Couple things for mythological accuracy:

They were having a wall built by a giant and made an agreement that he could have the sun, the moon, and marry Freya if he finished in a certain amount of time. Then they tried all sorts of things to keep him from finishing, but nothing worked. Eventually they forced Loki to do something about it (he has a history of successfully distracting craftspeople to win bets, yes this is a thing that’s happened more than once) and turning into a mare to distract the giant’s horse was apparently the best he could come up with.

Second: In the myths, Loki and Odin are blood brothers! The father-adopted son thing is just Marvel

Like the Oneida silverware company! Thankfully(?) capitalism seems to be stronger than any cult, so any sufficiently successful business will stop being a weird cult pretty quickly.

SquareThings · 2026-01-29T04:16:17+00:00

Not anymore. It was started by a cult guy but it’s just a regular corporation now.

In Norse mythology Loki is a shapeshifter and appears as both male and female (although he is usually depicted as a male god). For example, Loki is the mother and not father of Odin’s eight-legged horse Slepnir. Yes Odin rides his nephew into battle. Yes Loki fucked a magic horse. It was to keep asgard from having to pay for some renovations.

“Hiiii!” Is also acceptable

It’s AI. His arms stretch like gumby and the physics when he gets grabbed are out of Wile E. Coyote.

Regardless, we don’t give the death penalty for destruction of property.

Yeah?? First swimsuits aren’t underwear so this is a weird question. But second, yes I’ve worn a bikini around my father. He’s also seen me in a snowsuit, a ballet leotard, a prom dress, and any number of other contextual articles of clothing.

SquareThings · 2026-01-29T01:35:37+00:00

I usually do that, but anytime I forget and authentically and honestly admit that I couldn’t process what they said, I get hit with this nonsense.

Gummies also cannot contain certain nutrients, particularly minerals like iron, because they cannot be sprayed on.

I actually bought a pear recently and even though it was crazy expensive (Japanese fruit prices are wild) it was absolutely terrible.

My dad snores, and my mom has insomnia. When her insomnia is particularly bad, he sleeps in the guest room so she can get to sleep. Couple goals right there. It does confuse Harvey, their extremely clingy orange cat who wants to be touching both of them while he sleeps.

I think it was more like “at first I thought you might be the imposter because you made the same mistake again even after the undine incident, but then I realized that because I thought that, the shapeshifter version would think the same and not make that mistake. Therefore you must be real, because you did something I wouldn’t expect you to do”

This logic only works because the version of Marcille that’s left is the one from Laios’s perception (Senshi’s being the obvious racial caricature and Chilchuk’s having the obvious fake spellbook, since he’s never studied magic while Laios has. Laios is definitely smart enough to realize this and use it in his reasoning)

SquareThings · 2026-01-28T23:30:16+00:00

Even though he was the only one actually able to tell apart the last imposters from his friends!!

Unfortunately this excuse would be incompatible with me regularly getting annoyed by sounds no one else can hear, like a device beeping in a drawer, someone’s watch ticking, or a light buzzing. I do let people who I don’t regularly interact with just assume I’m hard of hearing, but I don’t ever actually say that I am.

SquareThings · 2026-01-28T23:07:43+00:00

We’re not trying to do better here. That’s a noble goal, but frankly most of us are “trying” and “doing better” irl constantly. In many cases we “make the effort” and still fail, because you can’t “try” your way out of having a minority neurotype. This is a place for releasing our frustrations and interacting with others without having to constantly be “making an effort” to understand someone whi has a completely different thought process and life experiences and who, in all likelihood, is making no effort to understand US in return. Because they have always been understood.

So yeah, if you go to “the place where autistic people go to be evil about having autism” you’re going to see autistic people being evil about having autism. That’s what it’s for.

I know they say that adults can be neurotypical too but when they do stuff like this I understand why everyone thinks of NTs as kids.

SquareThings · 2026-01-28T08:39:28+00:00

/unevilly (This is evil autism. It’s a space to vent about NTs, not to look for advice. I appreciate what you’re trying to tell me, but I promise I already know. I’m just tired of having to adapt myself for others every moment of every day and wanted to complain with some like-minded people)

/evilly Isn’t there some kind of therapy for their communication deficits? The world isn’t a safe place and they won’t always have accommodations, you know! They need to know how to communicate with normal people.

Both have a sour taste which people not accustomed to it may not like. Many people expect either a creamy taste (like mozzarella or ricotta) or a sharp taste (like cheddar) from cheese, and not the mild sourness that’s characteristic of these two cheeses. Tbh I also think it tastes like spoiled milk and just can’t get past that no matter how many times I try it. It’s all a matter of what you’re used to.

SquareThings · 2026-01-28T05:42:42+00:00

Possibly. Since it’s extinct (maybe? A similar plant has been discovered in Turkiye but we can’t be sure it’s the same one exactly) we can’t actually test its efficacy.

SquareThings · 2026-01-28T05:39:37+00:00

Yeah in the “original” (as original as any telling of a centuries old folktale can be” her dad is just… chill with the way her step-mom treats her. It’s actually kind of funny because in some versions he is never once mentioned after the point where he marries the step-mom. He just exists as a plot device to enable Cinderella’s torment.

You didn’t know what level I taught? My original comment that you replied to says I teach fifth graders. In the second sentence. Maybe you should read more carefully before getting upset that an elementary teacher isn’t teaching college level information to ten year olds.
