The Kindly Prince

O Lord my God, can you *please* do something about the food in your House? It's unacceptable.

No contact means no contact. Eat your gruel and like it.

No I'm just kidding. Kidding. That was a joke.

Are you open to questions of a theological nature in this forum? Particularly, say, for those of us with thorny questions about the nitty gritty of fluviology?

Fourth ... smallest? As in the fourth one from the bottom of the list?

I don't even...

Depends? I mean I don't mind fixing it, but if I went out of my way to come meet every person with a request the waiting list would be years long and I'd never get anything else done. Not to mention, if you can't leave the system, I can't come to it, so. Sorry to anyone there.

I see... Well, you know how the Eighth can be. I'm sure she means well, but they can take things a little far, can't they?

Even historical fantasy is just fantasy. I'd prefer you not confuse that for reality, but that's for everyone's safety, not an unforgivable sin. Some of these things are more ... advice, guidelines, you know? It's ill-advised for a necromancer and a cavalier to become entangled in such a manner in the same way it's ill-advised for any given person and their direct superior, or a group of people working on an important project together. You don't want conflicts of interest, or to have your feelings for the other person or people dividing your attention. You need to be focused on your shared goal first and foremost.

Is it true that all lyctors are bisexual?

Not exactly. For one thing, Gideon has always been incredibly aroace. I'm aware he's had ... relations on very rare occasions, but those have been exceptions to the rule, and he's been very private about them. I doubt he'd claim the label regardless of who that includes.

Which is really the question for a lot of them, whether they'd claim it. If they'd prefer pan, omni, if they'd prioritize an aspec label, if they still consider themselves closer to hetero- or homo-flexible, and so-on. And those feelings changed for some of them over time. We don't exactly feel a need to put labels on anything anymore, but you pick up on these things, or they might describe it in other terms.

Honestly even I sort of flop around. I'm not not-bisexual, but would pan fit better? Is it more complicated than that? Being quoiromantic as hell doesn't exactly help with defining any other feelings. It's simplest to just say "queer" and leave it at that. Which, incidentally, is another reason to say you're welcome for removing labels from common use. Go forth and feel whatever you feel said the Lord your God, or whatever like that.

All that being said...

I would rather prefer just "John." "Gaius," "John Gaius," perhaps "Sir." From the right people I do like "Teacher," as well. But honestly, I suppose "Jod" is still better than "God" or "Lord" or... I mean, sure, I'll take it if you insist.

I assume the following questions are the allegations to which you're referring?

I'm alive, though whether that's always the same as "living" is another question entirely. I suppose in a way I exist in a state between, and I've experienced countless deaths through the perceptions of others, but I'm certainly not dead, believe me.
