Shoutout To The Woman From My High School Martial Arts Class Who Liked To Get Me In Joint Locks And Then

honestly not to be an annoying 'kids these days' zillenial but i do feel sorry for kids who won't grow up with mythbusters, i don't remember a disturbing amount of my life before i was 15 but you know what i remember? the mild mannered guy with a beret and a walking advertisement for adderall blowing shit up for fun every week

how to counterspell when you're not a caster

Rogue: That spell that [NPC Sorcerer] is about to cast on me requires concentration, right?

GM: It does.

Rogue: I take off my shirt.

I think one of the greatest appeals of Dishonored 2 is how tactile this whole game is.

everything makes these perfect little noises, from the menu screen to typewriters to walking sounds. everything is so alive. the slight camera wobble as you walk. if you play with a controller, the perfectly put vibrations here and there.

it invites to explore, if only just for that.

live laugh love? nah, bite scream growl

youtube is pulling this bullshit again

praying for the firefox gods to save me once more...

I believe in low chaos!Corvo being good, despite everything against him and rats and plague and corruption trying to claw their way up from the streets to his throat. But I think his prime quality is resilience.

Ghost+clean hands!Corvo is wonderful and spine-tingling to me because he is well-versed in fighting and killing, but this is him standing against all the traitors. “I will tear you down in ways that make you beg for me to be the murderer you pretended I am.” I love that he canonically executes Burrows post-game. He has no qualms about killing but it will never be on the traitor’s terms

Tony: 50 bucks says I can make Steve blush like a schoolgirl

Bucky: Is this how you became a billionaire, Stark? By charging people for shit you were gonna do anyway?

Tony: …

Tony: I mean, you’re not wrong…

Me: Yes sir I understand that the office door cannot be closed when two colleagues of opposite gender are alone together due to sexual misconduct concerns but as an openly bisexual employee I have to ask if leaving two colleagues of the same gender entirely unsupervised isn't a double standard

Me: Like. I feel I should also have my ass covered if a same-gender colleague accuses me of shit, you know

Bossman: Nahhhhhhh it's good

The morally grey cathedral goblin that lives on my shoulder and judges the value of my kneejerk impulses: If you grabbed his ass right now he would learn such an important lesson forever but we don't roll like that bro

Me: (out loud) Okay

Hating yourself is harming others. Like, almost always. Even if you don’t mean it to.

Loving yourself enough to take care of yourself and be kind to yourself is what makes you more capable of helping others and doing good.

You’re not going to shame and hate yourself into being a better friend, a better spouse, better parent, better person, better service to the world. That’s done through love and gentleness. I promise.

And I know it’s work! There is no switch to flip that takes you magically from self-hatred, self-denial, insecurity, and depression to self-love, self care, gentleness, and joy! It takes work and, for many people, seeking outside help! But it’s worth it worth it worth it, not just for you, but for everyone around you.
