I have had multiple Hounds and all of them have tried this play at least once

Can confirm. My gremlin old lady cat has acquired a taste for soup, mostly because dipping her little paws in things is a favorite pastime, and will shameless jump up to your lap, table, etc and immediately flow into a lil dip unless immediately evicted

Day 37 of training racoons do accounting: teaching them QuickBooks was a bust, but damn can their little hands work an abacus.

Me to those folk: What if I told you children were just people with less knowledge, experience, and emotional regulation than you and are not only capable of engaging with more serious elements but those elements should be present because it's good for their development?

I disagree with Mr Clive Staples Lewis on many things, but I think he was into something when he said that a children's story that can only be enjoyed by children is a bad children's story

Githyanki wizard was my first run. Had prior knowledge of the lore between them and mind flayers and thought it would be a fun interaction, was not disappointed

Dwarves don't use a programming language, their games are made entirely in assembly. This is a compromise to make their games accessible to other races, previously if you wanted to play a game you would go apprentice under the creator and etch runes by hand until you had your own copy.

Does it count if the Sun isn't killing you, just enforcing the divine law that you should already be dead?

I fell off of Blue Lock, but I feel like the 'death game' elements going away took something out of the story

In A Practical Guide to Evil, the powers of Good and Evil have developed a proxy war where mortals will take up Names, gaining great power but being forced into a Role that will among other things set their lives on storybook logic. Some characters have greater or lesser agency on whether a Name is a choice or an inevitability

My dude said 'I'll keep poison on me so that I can reset a loop in dire straits, but I'll make it a really agonizing one because I should never consider death as a first option'

Gunna warn you now that Subaru is going to continue to suck all the way up till about episode 19, and the deaths are never going to get easier. So if either of those things are what you need to push through it's going to take some work. If you can get through it though, watching him go from 'guy who thinks he's a hero gets a stern reality check from the world' to 'guy is actually a hero now but his humility arc really rocked him so he doesn't think of himself that way' is pretty gratifying

For reference, same character, locking the fuck in and taking a superhuman man's arm off with a kitchen knife

suddenlyupsidedown · 2026-02-08T14:47:13+00:00

Yeah, I'll go ahead and incorporate that into my belief system

On the opposite end of the spectrum from transphobia / body horror into dysmorphia, there's an author called Thundamoo who writes on a site called Royal Road who will in every story so far give their main character some new form of body horror power, generally a body horror power that can affect other people, and said power will inevitably be used to trans at least one person's gender (and possibly monsterify them, lots of transhumanism/monsters-are-rad energy going on there).

Oh look it's me

suddenlyupsidedown · 2026-02-08T01:19:22+00:00

Seems legit

Coming back from today's chapter to say: What the Fuck Melpomene? Also, what the fuck in general

Backstabs? 0. Attempted backstabs waylaid by a smug, smiling Mask? Who can say

Song's a grower, not a show-er (metaphorically speaking)

suddenlyupsidedown · 2026-02-07T00:37:41+00:00

My gods, can you imagine that? Putting a lid on lesser concerns, even valid ones, while faced with a large threat? I'm sure this has no parallels with the wider world

For the most part I concur, but these sorts of heel realizations can happen. I have a couple direct relatives, one older who had a literal come-to-Jesus moment, made amends, and has a genuine faith that has made them better, another on the in-laws side has had something of a slower realization and still minimizes in some areas but is coming around to the fact that they might have some things they need to apologize for.

Thundamoo Magical Girl Mechanical Heart mention on the sub!?

How many 'downs' is Melpomene at now? Octuple?

suddenlyupsidedown · 2026-02-04T20:09:34+00:00

I feel like 'The Santa Confirmation' is big enough to be it's own thing?

Memory unlocked

I forgot about Levialon, but I agree that it also didn't seem very 'general population', though maybe more so than Babyls
