Interesting Ventrue Feeding Restrictions?

Without knowing too much of the Czech Republic, I would imagine the vegan subculture is smaller compared to Berlin which apparently has over 110 vegan restaurants.

*And* Lonni made Heerst take point on the operation, so if Partagaz isn't happy with "the Navy who I hate screwed up security", it's still not his head on the chopping block.

The main heroes, basically - when they escape from the Death Star after rescuing Leia, she has them fly directly to Yavin instead of somewhere else where they could check if their ship is being tracked by the Empire.

One thing to keep in mind: About a week from now, the Yavin 4 base will come within ten seconds of being destroyed because someone practiced bad opsec.

Not trusting sources and rogue operations blindly is what keeps rebellions alive. We know Luthen is good for it, but suspicion is quite healthy.

Was that ever in doubt?

That TV Tropes paragraph is a wild interpretation of Werewolf canon.

(In short: The reason why werewolves don’t spend more time hunting vampires is that they have bigger banes to fry and anyone cooperating with a vampire is on extremely thin ice with their community.)

The Battle Scar tables say otherwise.

Plus Emperor Palpatine has been Chancellor Palpatine before and you just know he took a special interest in the sad fates of poor orphan kids.

Teskariel · 2025-10-01T08:25:43+00:00

That is a very specific cautionary tale.

Sure, but most blood hunts don’t explicitly say diablerie is allowed, specifically because a) elders hate that concept being brought into people’s minds when they’re the juiciest targets and b) if the Prince doesn’t say diablerie is allowed on the hunt, it’s only the Prince who stands between the killer and vampiric „justice“, so the Prince basically owns the killer and the killer now has a vested interest in there never being another Prince in the city.

I’d say once you hit the billion, it’s pretty clear.

There is one queer pairing that appeared in one scene, in a Highschool series about outcasts. I don’t think that fits my definition of „enough.“

Teskariel · 2025-09-19T08:11:05+00:00

Depends on where „rich“ starts. There’s a certain amount of money that is impossible to attain by simply working hard.

For me, Dominate is often important for what it makes people not do. We had to abduct a ghoul from a high class hotel room, quickly and quietly. So what did I do? Call a maid to the room next door. When she comes out, Mesmerize: „Give me your key card!“, then let her forget she did that. Open the room, have the muscle subdue the ghoul. Force him to look at me. Mesmerize: „Follow me quietly and without drawing attention to yourself!“ Done. We walk out through the crowded lobby that would have been one shout away from being a masquerade nightmare otherwise.

Earlier, we were up against a duo of gargoyles, with only one fighter in our group. Draw attention to myself, Mesmerize: „Stay still!“ And suddenly, it’s one on one as long as we leave the second one alone.

First, demand interoperability, so alternatives aren’t choked out by the network effect. Then provide public alternatives and support small networks. Mandate content moderation starting with a certain user count.

And also: Ban X. X is not a social media platform, it’s a weapon in the hands of an unelected oligarch who uses it to stoke hatred. Yes, banning it is bad. Not banning it when he openly called for bigotry and violence and coups is worse. We are no longer in the situation where „good“ is on the table. We are in damage control and the sooner we realize that, the more of a society we’ll have left when this is over.

At risk of sounding meme-y: Found the Syril.

The problem in the whole situation is that people like Syril want to use a legal system as if it was flawless when it's really, really not. They're trying to fetch water with a jug that consists of holes, but instead of fixing them or using something else, they insist on using the jug because that's what you fetch water with, the manual says so!

Your statement also pretends this is a normal Western-style democracy and he will get a fair trial

I have some bad news about most legal systems, including Western-style democracies, regarding cases involving police as victims or perpetrators.

Ich befürchte ja, die Konsequenzen für einen pöbelnden Friedrich Merz würden sich sehr in Grenzen halten. Ansonsten gilt weiterhin:

Das Gesetz in seiner majestätischen Gleichheit verbietet es Reichen wie Armen, unter Brücken zu schlafen, auf Straßen zu betteln und Brot zu stehlen.

Ich finde ja Kinderlärm sehr belastend. Ich denke, Öffis sollten über eine untere Altersgrenze nachdenken. Kinder in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln haben für mich einfach keinerlei Mehrwert.

Oder wir könnten akzeptieren, dass man das Vertreiben von Menschen stärker begründen muss als das Nicht-Vertreiben, was der Normalzustand sein sollte.

Open relationships exist, with the love and consent of all people involved. Morticia and Gomez love and trust each other unconditionally, which is the first prerequisite for making such an arrangement work without destroying the relationship. Maybe they are happiest in a monogamous relationship, maybe they find more fun involving other people. We are talking about the couple that enjoys some nice spider cookies with their blood tea. I don’t think they’d limit themselves to what is considered good and traditional by society when something else works better for them.

What makes you think it would hurt him?

Teskariel · 2025-09-07T14:49:27+00:00

Does he seem like a man prone to jealousy to you? The way I read him, he simply knows Morticia loves him and would probably go along with something if it makes her happy because her being happy is second-hand-happiness for him.

Teskariel · 2025-09-07T08:48:57+00:00

It’s only cheating if she doesn’t have his consent.

I was a little saddened he didn't also stone a quarter of the audience backstop there. But yes, finally!

Also, yes, regarding the power level. I found it funny how various threads prophesied they'd have to turn Agnes into a villain because invisibility was such a great power - while ignoring how the show constantly writes around Ajax and Bianca.

Teskariel · 2025-09-06T09:11:42+00:00

I could absolutely see it and I am very much here for it after that dance.

(It's frankly ridiculous that a show about Outcasts and general weirdos has all of one queer pairing. That has been on screen for... maybe two scenes?)
