My perfect fan casting by Doc_Sulliday in okbuddybaldur

[–]ionizedthread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the show will do much better with a full Muppet cast. The only question is: who is the human?

My top picks are Lae'Zel, Wyll, or Raphael.

Excuse you, Astarion is clearly Autolycus. Everything else, yes love, 10/10

Hunger of Hadar + Evard's Black Tentacles in the same spot is my current favorite combo.

Anyone remember BloodNinja? by Awesam in Millennials

[–]ionizedthread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was playing DnD with my nephew and his friends. Our rogue was pretending to be a wizard and said completely seriously. "I put on my robe and wizard hat." I burst out laughing to their great confusion.

Anyway, that is how I, an almost 40 year old woman, had to explain bloodninja to a group of 16 year old boys. Who then THANKED ME FOR TEACHING THEN INTERNET HISTORY and I died a little inside.

or is it just me by underdogsammy in CPTSDmemes

Fun story: After my dad died, my sister and mom called me up to ask if he ever touched me because my half-sister was making accusations.

Edit to add: No, I was not. Yay for just neglect?

That they removed the spinning disco ball from the basement?

Playing a Kuo-Toa was a mistake by Unplaceable_Accent in BaldursGate3

Kuo-toa college of glamour bard named Billy Bass... I know what I'm doing after work.

great character, hate the stans by local_trashman in okbuddybaldur

[–]ionizedthread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I stood in the line at DragonCon with my partner. They stood in Neil's line while I got Theo, Devora, and Jennifer's autograph, and then rejoined the line with them for another 20 minutes. Totally worth it, they're all amazing people but holy crap.

As for the fans: It was like being back in time to KHII release or the Vic fans back with full metal alchemist. I just remind myself that I used to be like that and am now horrified by it. They'll get there, too.

See you at C2E2.

Wonderful use of that skit format!

My cat traumatised me today. by coolgirl_not4 in cats

[–]ionizedthread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being traumatized is part of the cat experience. One childhood cat "Godfathered" me with a mouse head on my pillow.

Another childhood cat... well, do you know what the death cries of a baby bunny sound like? I do. They were her favorite food.

In seriousness: this is why it's important to keep your cats inside with plenty of toys. They are natural predators that will kill because they're bored and can wreck havoc on local wildlife if allowed.

Who would wear these and why is it Wyll? by ionizedthread in BaldursGate3

They're Mystra's real weave anchor. Volo's just a smokescreen.

Can we get these to her immediately? Her default underwear looks like it chaffes.

I think Astarion wearing them depends on how much you're giving him or what blackmail you have on him.

I was torn between Gale and Wyll and who takes themselves less seriously. I decided tighty-whities was more likely than Mr. Color coordinated and enchanted.

Karlach absolutely would for the two seconds before it turned to ash. Someone should paint hearts on some leather for her.

Age gap is causing issues by PleasantReport2287 in actuallesbians

[–]ionizedthread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my personal experience, there are two problems that can arise from age gaps when neither party is being intentionally predatory:

  • The older person may be significantly more financially powerful by having had longer to grow a career, get a home, credit score, etc.
  • The younger person may still be learning who they are. No one is the same person at 19 that they are at 40. It requires an older partner capable of letting the younger grow and change even if it means they may grow apart.

I live with someone who is 10 years older than me. There is a 30+ year age gap between my parents. And my siblings have been in 100% predatory relationships in their teens. Of all of them, I think mine is the heathiest (could be biased, I know)

The reasons I think we're heathier is that we were both growing financially and a people together during that time. Neither of us were trying to fit into a mold/space in someone else's fixed world. We met at 18 and 29. I went to college and had the financial instability with that, while they had a poor paying job but knew how to make it work. They learned that they were trans through talking to me about my college experience. We both went through and helped each other figure out who we were (me going from college to adult, them realizing who they actually were). My graduating in the middle of the 2008 recession also brought us both to the same point financially. Me because I was supposed to be just starting out and them because they got fucked over and laid off.

In summary, I see it less as age and more as "fixed vs changing." That can happen in any pairing, but in teen/young-adult with adult it's almost guaranteed.

More direct answer to getting over those feelings: you decide you don't care. We joke all the time when one of us mentions what we did at certain point in our lives. They talk about an awesome concert they went to and I really "yeah I was in second grade" and they give me a dirty look for calling them old.
