The Black Nerd. A common character type, the nerd will always be very interested in all things nerdy: science, video games, mathematics, etc. In an continued effort to combat stereotypes, the Black Nerd will be lack athleticism, probably being asthmatic (the nerdiest of conditions). The Black Nerd will dress smartly, suspenders and bow ties. They’ll always talk smart too, using proper English with complex words.

Now, I don’t have a problem with a black character being a nerd, indeed black people are a people; we aren’t all the same and we all have varying personalities. The problem I have is that too often we see a distinct disconnect between Blackness and the Black Nerd. The Black Nerd doesn’t listen to hip hop or rap, only classical music. The Black Nerd only has white friends, the only other black characters are into not nerdy stuff. The Black Nerd never ever uses AAVE at any time in any context.

Well @dumbey, seems we’re in similar boats

Whats weird is that she randomly adds foods and drinks to the hoard now, even though you swear there was no evidence of such before you got there.

Also, a remarkable number of cozy items have been tossed in. A hoard that was once mostly silver, gold and jewels is now strewn with pillows, warm blankets, and stuffed animals - enough that it would be easy to take some and have it go unnoticed.

And then you notice a steaming cup of hot tea resting on a flat surface nearby. When? How? You stay low and look around, wary. and then you make eye contact with the dragoness, who is elegantly laying on the far side of the lair.

She quickly glances away but you know she knows now.

Me: or i could get a stamp made with the logo and stamp it on tag sale stickers myself.

Me: oh the logo is pretty simple, I can probably carve it into the rubber blocks that I've got.

Me: that rubber is pretty soft, though, the stamps won't hold up over time. I've been getting into woodcarving and have been thinking of getting into block printing fabric. What kind of wood is good for that?

Me: cherry is apparently good for that, and block printing fucking rules but I know my carving skills aren't up to that yet. I've got some pretty cool old metal stamping plates from my grandpa's shows, let me look up intaglio printing while I brainstorm designs.

Me (texting large bastard): where do you keep your sheet steel scrap and is it okay if I use your potassium perchlorate wash bin for an acid bath?
