I am either a unicorn or galactic being

1. QPRs and aspec identities are commonly misunderstood. A CC may not know the difference.

2. This is also a paradox: by refering to your ships as a QPR, you insinuate that they are not a "real" relationship because there is no romantic or sexual attraction involved. This is strictly not true. It is a relationship: you are still shipping. Consider how aspecs feel about this. As an alloaro, I find this offensive as well. Start dismantling amatonormativity.

3. Even if we disregard that, this issue has come up before. Specifically during the height of the DSMP and Life series. When a post was called a QPR and artists insisted that was the intention, it was still seen as alloallo shipping. You will be misunderstood. It will happen. Anything that is "too romantic" will be flagged as a romantic ship. Yes, even if you say that a kiss is platonic (which it can be, don't start with me), or holding hands, or laying in bed together: if the CC thinks it is bad, it will get flagged.

4. Related to that, this is why we use (x)duo and ship nicknames. These blurred over time when we realised the CCs do not engage with it much, so you see it interchangeably now. If you really want to avoid CCs getting mad at you, agree on a new tag to use. I'd recommend those who want to respect the ship boundary to get involved too, simply so they don't get flagged by the CC for completely innocent intentions they have.

He's not morally against swearing, he said holy fucking shit when he saw the Blip-A for the first time, the only reason he doesn't swear normally is because he trained himself out of it because he teaches middle schoolers. If I'm remembering right, he even calls one of the kids a smartass in his internal narration at one point. He's spent so long not swearing that he's not just going to fall out of the habit immediately.

We know that at some point, he learned Eridian swearing anyway because Rocky swears in the final chapter of the book. And I think he learned most of them when Rocky reamed him out after leaving the taumoeba collector out at room temp.

The Reform party, led by Nigel Farage is funded by a small circle of extremely wealthy private donors bringing them more funding than  the main two political parties. Unlike a traditional UK political party, which is a grassroots democratic political movement, Reform UK is a registered private company. It is legally registered as “Reform 2025 Ltd”. This means its leadership and decision making are heavily centralized and controlled by directors and shareholders rather than being voted on by ordinary party members.

IT IS FUNDED BY ABROAD CRYPTO BILLIONARES IF U ELECT FOR REFORM U R ELECTING TO BE RUN BY A COMPANY OF FUCKING BILLIONARES WHO WILL BE MAKING POLICIES PURELY FOR THEMSELVES.

everyone gets onto eva stratt for the "think about it long time" vs. "you have three hours" thing but

operating on book canon a little bit: if grace couldn't do it-- if he said no*-- the alternative was to scramble and fly in the next most qualified volunteer, who had 0 training, 0 knowledge of astrophage, and was not an astronaut. three hours could have been three hours of training for that replacement. three hours could have been three hours of preparation for grace, if he said yes

eva stratt gave grace three hours. not to decide, necessarily, because the decision was going to be made the way it was no matter what. but three hours to come to terms with it, to grieve, to mentally prepare himself. three hours that could have been spent giving humanity a better chance to survive

she borrowed three hours that she didn't have to give grace space to process. to get himself together and come to her, teary-eyed but resolved, and say yes.
