And then they went for ice cream

Possessed demon blade she recently acquired (B): “Yeah? What’s it matter to you?”

A: “You, the cleaver of 10,000 souls, the blade which relished in the blood of armies and its wielder alike, and the judgemental sword that won’t stop mocking my techniques. Why would I ever take a bath with you?”

B: “A blade is an extension of the self, you should never let yourself be parted with it. And even if you’re a lackluster swordswoman, we’ve already made enough enemies that you cannot risk an opportunity to be ambushed while unarmed.”

A: “Even if I did buy that, why do you want this anyway?”

B: “As miserable as traveling with you has been, it is at least slightly more entertaining than being abandoned in a crumbling ruin for hundreds of years. I don’t want you dying until we run into someone who at least knows the basics of the sword arts.”

A: “You expect me to believe it’s not just because you’re a pervert who wants to see me naked?”

B: “What?! As if I would have any interest in you. If you must know it’s because temperature is one of the few things I can still feel, and I find the warmth to be pleasant. Yet you aren’t skilled enough for me to bathe in the fresh blood of your enemies, so hot water will have to do for now.”

A: …

B: “Besides, I’m a sword, what would I even get out of seeing you naked anyway?”

A: …

B: “And even when I was alive I was a woman who used public baths often, your naked body doesn’t even interest me in the slightest.”

A: …

B: “…my limited perception of the world around me means I can’t really ‘see’ anything anyway.”

A: “You sure have a lot of excuses on hand.”

B: “…it would also help to strengthen our bond as weapon and wielder?”

Setsuna: So…?

Ai: What?

Setsuna: Aren’t you going to comment on my technique earlier today?

Ai: Tch, Ai would if there was anything worth commenting on.

Setsuna: That’s strange, cause I distinctly recall you saying my opponent was “a much better swordsman than me”, and that “you were looking forward to finally being carried by someone with some semblance of talent.”

Ai: That Ai did. And Ai stands by it.

Setsuna: Did you not notice his head being cleanly separated from his body when I swung you through his neck.

Ai: Yes. If it could Ai would have immediately shed tears that Ai has to remain in your hands for even longer now.

Setsuna: To be clear, you are sticking with your stance that the now-dead man who I bested in a clash of blades has more talent with a sword than I do.

Ai: That Ai is. You only won because you had Ai and he did not.

Setsuna: That’s too bad. If you admitted you were wrong I would’ve let you in the bath tonight.

Ai: …

Setsuna: Oh well, what a shame.

Ai: ….fine. Ai admits it, you are the superior swordswoman. The proof is written in blood as you walked away with your life.

Setsuna: Thank you, now was that so hard?

Ai: Still, Ai refuses to let someone as unskilled as you gloat about your victories. Now about the bath-

Setsuna: I only said I would have let you, but that opportunity is gone.

Ai: How dare-

Setsuna: But, unlike some stubborn weapons I know, I’m willing to show you some leniency here.

Ai: Thank you. Now how about we go-

Setsuna: We? I never said I’d let you bathe with me. You can have a turn when I’m done.

Ai: …

Setsuna: Hmm? Why are you pouting? I thought you just wanted to feel the sensation of the hot water?

Ai *grumbling*: Ai eagerly awaits the day in which Ai can drink in the warm blood pouring forth from your flesh while you struggle desperately to take your last breath.

Setsuna: …does that mean you don’t want the ba-

Shout out to that one tumblr post that was like: "You know it's not just trans people who ponder their gender, it's healthy for cis people to take a look inside and be like! Yep that's all good!" And I read this post and was like.... like what do you look at inside though T O T??? I asked my boyfriend how he knew he was a boy and he said he just felt this unexplainable intrinsic feeling he was a boy... and I'm like... I HAVE GENUINELY NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WTF 😭😭😭!!!!!!!! So apparently its like. Normal for people to feel this inexplicable 'Gender' feeling or whatever,,, I feel like how asexual people feel when they discover people around them aren't making up the fact they experience sexual arousal T O T

Obviously all my sciency stuff is just speculation! But I'm the type of person who believe that everything has a rationale behind it, and like an adopted child who is curious about their biological parents, I just am just interested in my origins! The field of genetics still is mostly just like,,,, hmmm we think this whatever MIGHT be a contributing factor to a person turning out this way... maybe. If you are more interested in the topic I discussed, just look up 'Genetic Memories in Animals' and there should be some more stuff OuO!

Congratulations to city councilwoman-elect Aparna Raj and mayor-elect Janeese Lewis George. Let’s fucking goooooooooooooo

since i’ve been seeing a lot of invader zim and steven universe crossovers, i thought it would be important to share this with ya’ll, lmao

and when it released for ios? holy fuck were they DROWNING in money. when they took a weekend to put the game on sale for a dollar, down from five, a couple months after release, they made as much in that one weekend as they did since its release. it was among the top paid apps for weeks.

with critics, peggle was among some of the top downloadable, mobile, and general best games of all time at the time of its release in 2007 and onwards, and it only shot up in popularity as they made it more accessible to more people. and this was in a time before candy crush.

the thing about simple addictive puzzle games is that they make you feel competent, confident, smart, and cool for being good at them. not everybody can learn how to aim in a shooter or the best strategy in an rpg. but anybodys grandmother or baby brother can play a simple puzzle game, and the nature of these games and the way they make you feel only makes you want to play more and more.

however very very fucking few people who play simple puzzle games that you can master on the toilet would be going to E3 in the early 2010s. remember in 2012 when every ~hardcore gamer~ would screech about ‘fake gamers’ who only play candy crush? thats what peggle was. it was THE crack mobile game from the pre-candycrush era.

no one who was excited about peggle was going to E3. the hundreds of thousands of people who played peggle were not the type of people who would consider going to (or even giving a shit about) E3.

but it sold like hot cakes, and candy crush was churning out content like a madman, and EA owned popcap now, so because the game sold amazingly, and because they wanted to keep cashing in on it, and because corporate drones who controlled the scripts didnt comprehend that their consumerbase isnt one homogeneous mass, they decided to announce peggle 2 at E3 2013.

but not just “oh by the way peggle 2”, no. peggle sold like skyrim, it sold like black ops, clearly they should be saving the best for last, they should announce it like it was the craziest most incredible announcement of the night!

thus:

@acarefreewind

Okey
