same old circlings of all new drains

the thing with romance for me is that you need to convince me through behavior and dialogue that the characters enjoy spending time with each other and seek each other out. even with enemies to lovers a foundation of mutual respect goes a long way. you can be like "he's the youngest ever general of the dragon slaying guild and I'm secretly a dragon, but he's the best swordsman I've ever fought and our sparring matches are the only thing that make me feel alive ever since my family was killed." if he implies something similar then bam, you have a reason for the two of them to hang out even though one of them knows it's dangerous. you can't be like "he's a dragon slayer and he's mean to me all the time but the flex of his arms when he swings his sword is just too sexy." it does not matter how many times you have your protagonist say "I shouldn't be drawn to him... but I am" if you never show a real moment of connection between them that draws them together

that's my emotional support bad person

let's romanticize never moving on and never getting over anything and feeling the enormity of our desire forever

How do you think like, staffs within the Elder Scrolls get charged? I know you use soul gems, but how do you think you charge it with the soul gem? do you have to rub them together? do some weird ritual where you meditate the energy into the staff...??? Is there a panel on the back where you change the soul gems like batteries?

very 🥰🥰🥰 when musicians leave bits in songs where they're saying 'is this thing on?' or 'it's still recording y'know.' chairs scraping, retuning guitars, saying 'let's do that bit again', 'was that take any good?'

you can’t separate transmisogyny from racism. the radical feminism movement is so overwhelmingly white because their idea of what a woman is is so thoroughly steeped in white supremacy.

You can’t separate transmisogyny from racism. Very important to remember

When you're talking to a cis person and you realize their concept of gender is basically a reinterpretation of a soul

As a Brazilian, watching the club world cup is always so funny because this year a game got cancelled due to RAIN. In Brazil, the lights in the stadium need to go out, the pitch needs to flood, and a minimum of 3 players need to get struck by lightning, only for the game to be delayed by like 20 minutes. Once a football game gets scheduled in Brazil there is no weather that can stop it. Zeus himself needs to come down to smite the players one by one

prev i saw you mention a photo can you find it 😳

there's a really fun balance when you know someone has a crush on you where you can tease them for having a crush on you without letting them know you know they have a crush on you. this only works because people who have crushes will analyze everything you say but not very well. anyway, i love playing with my food.

Uh oh, the player character is coming this way. Quick, engage in mindless small talk which comments on recent events or location relevant details
