You think robots can’t get pregnant? Well explain vending machines, you dumb ass.

I feel like a 3d printer is a better analogy because it actually builds the thing inside it but yeah

3d printers are viviparous, vending machines are hosts for parasitoid doctors pepper that oviposit their eggs inside them

if a vending machine drops its drink and it explodes, it's ovoviviparous

when i was a kid my Getting To Sleep technique was visualizing a child-sized shriveled up mummy with big piercing eyes that would stand silhouetted in the doorway & stare at me & probably attack if i so much as opened my eyes after getting into bed & this technique caused me to develop a lifelong nighttime-induced paranoia & it still takes me 2 hours to fall asleep. so i wouldnt recommend that

my real #serious thoughts on how rocky would feel about stratt after learning the whole Everything is that he really really wants to be the "my friend isn't mad enough at the person who hurt them so I make up for it by being 10x as mad as is reasonable" guy, and that's absolutely what he externally shows to grace, but internally he's eating himself alive because he does actually get it. he can only put so much of himself into the argument when grace gets into a weird mood and starts playing "devil's advocate" about his own kidnapping and attempted murder and he feels like absolutely scum-of-the-earth worst friend ever. what's even worse is that while he can sympathize with grace's story, he can't quite empathize; he's watching grace sleep one night and thinks to himself "...but why wouldn't he just say yes?", followed two minutes later by grace visibly (audibly?) getting one of his regular nightmares about being tackled and restrained. torment nexus.

you can tell this website is getting older because i keep seeing posts that are like. you know when you think about it your 30s are the new 20s. 30 is basically a young adult. it's hip to single and unemployed and 30. your 30s are for figuring things out so you can be a real adult at 40-
