“Straight dudes will tell you they’re into older women and then the women in question will be barely 300 year old elves without a single wrinkle on their faces. If they saw the older women I want to fuck they’d hurl!” The rogue says, tears welling in her eyes. The rest of her adventuring party tries to console her. The party wizard who is dating a 300 year old elf doesn’t hold it against her, he knows she’s only lashing out because she fumbled a 4000 year old elven gilf

when a human infant is in the womb, moments from being be born, a vague figure of glowing amber light appears before them. in one hand, it holds a small soapstone carving of a coiled eel. in the other hand it holds a mortar and pestle made of polished red quartz. it bids the infant to choose between these two things, but we don't know the significance of this choice, because all babies throughout history with no exception have always picked the soapstone eel. so that's still one of the big mysteries out there.

i do think that writers should be aware of the dark topics they're writing about; to me this means that e.g. if you're writing about an abusive relationship, you should know that it is abusive. i don't mean that you need to have a big and important point to make about abuse (especially not a necessarily moralistic one where e.g. the abuser "gets what's coming to them") in order to write it. just like that you should know what you're writing about. otherwise you get batman comics.

I KNOW that playing God is morally wrong, but holy HELL, it looks fun.

Why is it playing God? We aren’t violating any natural laws. God set the parameters of the universe to allow these things. There’s nothing wrong with it, there’s no hubris in learning more about how to manipulate the universe around us.

We made a whole-ass fish.

post my angel of discourse. post for me!!!

(In a piercing soprano) Horror movies are unethical because the characters are forced to be scared!

(In a warm, resounding contralto) we should ban sex scenes because the characters were children at some point in their lives!

(In a velvety tenor) All children's entertainment is inherently unethical because it's created by adults for the express purposes of manipulating the minds and emotions of young people before they can think for themseeeeeeeelves!
