Costumes. Swords. Drama.

The first thing you'll do is create a USB that lets you test Linux without in any way damaging your current set up, so I encourage anyone who's loathing of Windows is ever growing to give it a try. You have nothing to lose but a little time.

It's also a way to give an older computer new life, since it's generally Windows bloatware slowing your system down, not your computer's actual hardware.

Gold necklace with blue glass, Byzantine, early 7th century

the whole saga of captain button beard, which veth fully realized was him being patronizing and sarcastically played along with, and then repeated and threw back at him in the tunnels to xhorhas, to which fjord not only played along but outright echoed her “this fucker!” line when he did.

the first use of veth’s disguise self being to turn herself into a mini version of fjord, arguably setting off their rivalry forever

the first use of disguise self after fjord regains his powers being to turn himself into a huge version of nott

fjord letting her cross a dangerous river and only then parting the waters, rendering the effort pointless, after assuring her he would do no such thing. (bonus: caleb, ever biased, using her rope anyway).

that time fjord woke her up by gently picking up her while she slept and then fucking dropping her

i will throw you in the lava... you couldn’t

the time veth turned invisible and told caleb to tell fjord that she was dead

and caleb immediately being like “yeah she told me to tell you she’s dead” and fjord just Going With It, dramatically, NO!!! NOT MY GOBLIN!!!

“i know you don’t like me” “i like you!” “oH SaY ThaT AgAiN???”

“hey veth you can just one-shot this trex for us right?” “oh yeah i’ve always had that ability i just never used it” and then fjord’s grin when she falls out of her tree a minute later

NOTP: the opposite of an OTP (One True Pairing). It is a ship a fan strongly dislikes. The word is a portmanteau of ‘no’ and ‘OTP’ and thus is not a contraction of any particular phrase.

Squick: anything that is a deep-seated, visceral turn-off. Squicks may be shared by many fans or be specific to one; one person’s kink may be another person’s squick.

YKINMKATO, or kink-tomato: Your Kink Is Not My Kink, And That’s Okay: used to indicate support for fannish diversity and to distinguish between disapproval or kink shaming and simply having different taste.

DLDR: Don’t Like, Don’t Read: a phrase used to warn against complaints about an aspect of fic or meta. A “live and let live” philosophy of fandom, which places the responsability for avoiding content one doesn’t want to see on the side of the fanwork consumer, rather that on the creator’s.

SALS: Ship And Let Ship: similar to the above specifically about shipping tastes.

YMMV: Your Mileage May Vary: a phrase used to acknowledge that any given individual’s personal opinion on the topic at hand may differ due to their own tastes, standards, values, experiences, etc.

As the OP points out, all of these crucially imply no moral judgment of what they’re designing.

Also I saw someone saying they’d never use squick because it’s such a silly, made-up sounding word and I thought that this has been part of the problem. Fandom itself isn’t silly; it can be deeply meaningful (it has been to me!) however things can be deeply meaningful and silly. We (society) have got to stop acting like being childish is the worst thing you can do. Embrace silly whimsy.
