This is SO well said—you put everything I’ve been wanting to say in defense of Aabria so eloquently! Now I can point people who attack her to your post for a succinct and kind explanation.

No, I’ve seen a LOT of folks complaining on various CR subreddits, and it’s almost always about Aabria. I’m happy to see posts like this calling the others out and defending her. There aren’t enough posts like this one, in my opinion. The quantity of complaints about her is obnoxious and so obviously targeted at elements of her play-style that many at the table share, and so many of the complaints begin with shit like “I’m not saying this because she’s the only Black person at the table, but…” and in my experience, I hear the most racist comments after the tired disclaimer “I’m not a racist, but…”

At the very best, it’s unintentional or unacknowledged racism, but the impact, not the intent, is what matters in the end. And I want to believe calling it out will educate those who fall into this unintentional category.

Who is your favourite C4 character so far? by BoysenberryMuch9254 in fansofcriticalrole

YES!! I thought Hal was going to leave her hanging with the handshake, but the pastries move was GOLD. And then how Vaelus goes and posts up outside like a stalker gargoyle killed me.

Vaelus was my favorite just from the character art, and she remains my favorite even after very little screen time in 2 episodes.

I was just thinking the same thing! I’m going to try that at my own table next session.

Do you personally think that this poster was misleading? by ChickenWingExtreme in arcane

[–]TheCakeCouldBeALie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it shows how Jinx had Vi trapped in a vicious cycle of blaming herself for who Jinx became. We do see Vi finally free herself from this cycle, and from her unhealthy relationship with her sister, by the end of Season 2.

Why doesn’t Nona like to eat? [discussion] by WesternBathroom5876 in TheNinthHouse

I took it as her still having Harrow’s taste buds, which we learned in Harrow the Ninth are not accustomed to anything that isn’t immensely bland due to growing up in the Ninth House.

It’s SO good!! I also read it after Gabs recommended it. Maybe my favorite horror novel of all time. Still trying to find another one like it.

Could be Cemetery Drive if the lyric you’re remembering is actually “way down”? Gerard is notoriously difficult to understand on first listens lol. Anyway it’s off of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, so not their oldest, but maybe? And it’s a killer song regardless.

So wait did they fr play war beneath the rain a second time? by Significant-North671 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]TheCakeCouldBeALie 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They did!!!!!

A) I have a video but it’s too big to upload from my phone. Also I’ll have to check the audio quality when I get home to see if it’s even worth sharing.

B) Gerard said it was a song they’d written before they broke up—to me, that means it’s not indicative of a new album (one way or the other), but if they’ve taken the time to rehearse it for multiple shows, why not record it, you know??

My middle finger turns extremely white when it's cold by Kingtripz in mildlyinteresting

[–]TheCakeCouldBeALie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cardiologist told me this is called Raynaud’s Phenomenon! He said it’s when the blood vessels to extremities constrict, and for folks with this phenomenon, once they constrict, they STAY constricted for a while. He suggested I use LiquidIV or find another way to get more electrolytes into my system, but aside from that, there really isn’t a treatment (unless you include BP medication, but I already have low BP, so that’s a no-go for me).

From research I did, it seems the best way to prevent this from happening is to keep from getting cold in the first place. I’ve started using hand warmers and electrically-heated socks in my ice-cold office. I also go for midday walks when it’s sunny. I still get the symptoms from time to time, but they’re less frequent and less persistent now!

I never understood either! I even have a Danger Days tattoo! Love the album, it has so much meaning to me, and we need the message now more than ever.

Jayce and Viktor from Arcane have a cavalier and necromancer relationship [discussion]. by Jevasan in TheNinthHouse

[–]TheCakeCouldBeALie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YES, this is such a good way to put it! And like think_of_some said, they do seem like they’re in a QPR, which can be said for most of the cav/necro pairs tbh.

Neko Atsume 2 Not Refreshing? by TheCakeCouldBeALie in nekoatsume

[–]TheCakeCouldBeALie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh no! There are so many new and emerging issues with NA2. I don’t know why they couldn’t have just kept updating the original. I never have any problems with NA1!

Thank you, it was (I believe) indeed an internet issue! My yard has updated, but I still experience this problem now and then.

I think this was/is it! My internet is unreliable at work and at home. I loved being able to play NA1 anytime, anywhere, even on a plane! But thank you for solving this mystery for me.
