hey hi hello! this is the den of a goblin by name of socket, or a human by name of joey, who may or may not be several dorky arcanists in a trenchcoat
(i can also be found as oddsocket on bsky)
within this den lies an eclectic jumble of fandomposting, wizard appreciation, tabletop and OC yelling, posts that otherwise resonated with me, pretty art, and....just me scrawling on the walls, really (which is to say you will be subjected to my stream of consciousness; i do a lot of introspection and parts work on main, and i also have never been normal about my blorbos or my interests in my life and don't intend to start.) there will be the occasional nsfw post, it keeps the ecosystem healthy.
i draw creachers, monsters, original characters, assorted fanart and a whole lot of pokemon over on my artblog, @electrical-socket ! my tabletop blog is @dark-nat-ones-blessing !
#the my art tag - for when i've drawn things! (i post wips and doodles here that don't always make it to my artblog)
#socket talks - my assorted ramblings, musings, journallings and Original Words
#socketface - my arguably human visage
#socket's ocs - catchall tag for OC text posts and art.
#do people still say gpoy - posts that reflect who i am as a person lmao
character-specific tags and other regular tags under the cut!

Do you have any fun facts about my beautiful majestic gorgeous amazing stunning queen Ragatha??
She 100% referred to Zooble exclusively as she/her the first few weeks of them being there, and once she learned they were nonbinary from everyone else, she apologized relentlessly for three solid days.
your email found me at the grocery store irl. that's crazy that you gave it little legs and everything. it walked right up to me. everyone was so scared one person screamed when i picked it up. i said it's okay you just do this kind of thing sometimes. while i was reading, its little legs were just sort of dangling in the air. someone asked me if it's alive and if holding it like that made it uncomfortable. i told them idk i just get the emails i don't send them.

talking about stuff like prison reform or the SO registry really quickly makes you realize how many peoples political ideology boils down to "look, just tell me who the bad people are so I know who we should be killing."
and this is not unique to one side of the political spectrum btw. right or left, authoritarian or anarchist, all are susceptible to the rhetoric of "who is the acceptable target?"
So Chuckability is measuring if the average person can chuck a guy - Little Guys like Bowser (of Koopa King fame) have 0 chuckability, because the average person is NOT Super Mario.
The chuck needs to be a complete arc, landing on the ground some distance away - This is why flying/hovering guys do not get points in chuckability, much to the chagrin of all my ornithologist followers.
There are some other obvious disqualifiers as well - the guy can't be too heavy or unwieldly like, oh I don't know, let's say a bottle nosed dolphin.
The guy has to be tangible in order to even attempt the chuck, for instance, oh I don't know, just off the top of my dome, a purely digital avatar of a bottle nosed dolphin.
Danger is factored in on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes a Little Guy who does not want to be chucked will try and fight back, sometimes they pose a danger passively that makes them impossible to pick up. It depends on the guy! Sometimes they have some other non-hazardous attribute that just makes them impossible to pick up.
The final Chuckability score is an aggregate of how nice/easy a guy is to chuck, and distance chucked.
A little guy who is a baseball is 3 star chuckability. A paper airplane might also get 3 chuckability, under the right conditions, but the delicate technique required to achieve distance on that bad boy is straying away from what is commonly understood to be a 'chuck', which is more of a rough throw than a delicate dart tossing. BUT I DIGRESS.
We got ourselves a full grown fantasy Dwarf here, trained and ready for combat, so he weighs in at about 130kg. Factor in his plate armor at ~25kg, plus all his equipment, we'll put his total weight at ~185kg.
So, if you are pretty strong, you could bear hug this guy and hoist him off the ground. But then you'd drop him! Even without his equipment, he is well outside the chucking range of professional athletes, even some of the strongest people in the world.
"Oh, but Gimli gets tossed-"
https://journals.le.ac.uk/index.php/jist/article/view/806/758
I already read this. I have some disagreements with the conclusion, but it doesn't matter what they are - 'chucking gimli this distance is technically within the realm of human possibility' does not make a guy chuckable. The average person is not Aragorn. Gimli is not nice or easy to chuck.
Wow, this guy is eminently chuckable alright. Good thing you aren't coming into my space and telling me how to do my job.
Get a load of this guy who can't grasp the concept of integers.
A ghost has a chuckability of true 0. A dwarf has a chuckability float of 0.1 or SOMETHING LIKE THAT. Sure, that is technically above zero if you treat it as a floating-point number, but the CESSBM rounds UP or DOWN because it is a system which operates on REDUCTIVE REASONING; if it DIDN'T operate that way we would be publishing data that the general public couldn't actually apply.
So, Chuckability is a boolean, true or false, and ALL THE CRITERIA LISTED IN THE POST ABOVE set the boolean to false.
You can technically pick this guy up, you can technically move him horizontally a non-zero amount, but that does NOT make it a 'Chuck'. A 'Chuck' is not really an objective term, and so while we try and do it as methodically as possible, at some point a value judgement needs to be made - It really does boil down to, the judges know what is or isn't a chuck when they see it. And this guy? Couldn't be chucked. He gets a zero, goose egg, no rounding-up, no consolation prize. If you meet this dwarf on the street and throw him, no you ain't, he's unthrowable, unchuckable, YOU AREN'T STRONG ENOUGH, YOU LACK THAT UPPER BODY STRENGTH, THAT CERTAIN JE NE SAIS QUOI.
Sorry your 'technically a physical object therefore technically chuckable' isn't a gotchya, and is actually a result of your fundamental misunderstanding of how the system works. I know you thought trundling your way into educating me on a system I've dedicated decades of my life to developing was going to work out different.
TO DEFEND MY MYSELF: I was not the second person, and I readily agree with and accept the authors values of chuckability. I fully retract my statements and for the record I was never pro dolphin chucking
"I fully retract my statement and was never pro dolphin chucking" is very funny. The kind of sentences I live for.
And yes, seraphimnoted was only the first comment. The other commenter was PRO dolphin chucking. Sadly I've forgotten their username, so their true identity is lost to the fog of history.
