Of all the human Digimon characters, he chose the one that he is hyper-thirsty about. Mades me feel like he just wanted to express some power fantasy that he thought in the bathroom rather than being genuinely curious about everyone at ERA writing Digimon fanfics.

See where Lillthmon and Mervamon hang out. Make sure they are ok

Love being between Great Lakes and Chicago and a group of 6 planes just flies by going southward that aren't on any flight tracking sites and having that mini panic even though i know deep down it's unrelated

Wait, what does he even think would happen with those planes.

Their version of reality is what they see in movies and on TV. They genuinely think they live in Gilead.

I hear all that, i do, but the original piece still should have been clearer that the game director was being sarcastic with his statements

Like I said, there's a reason "/s" is used as a universal qualifier for when sarcasm is being used; because it's tough to infer that from the original text sometimes.

In addition to that, and I don't mean this in a guilt-trippy way of any sort, but autistic people like myself can sometimes have a hard time interpreting sarcasm, which again is why "/s" or just qualifiying it with ("I'm/he's being sarcastic") goes a long way.

Just wanted to point that out as a general rule, not directed at you specifically.

when did /s become universal? 

I don't know, maybe journalists should be more careful about what they write or the people you follow on bluesky shouldn't jump to conclusions? No. It can't be that..

Is Echoes off their meds? I feel like we are up to multiple writing prompt barely disguised fetish threads per day.

The internet was better when all of these kinds of posters agglomerated in Tumblr tbh.

The internet was a better place when these people were called retards and quarantined to discoverychannel.com where they could look at pictures of wasps and dinosaurs.

In addition to that, and I don't mean this in a guilt-trippy way of any sort, but autistic people like myself can sometimes have a hard time

But that's... not using almost half the scale. Why wouldn't you just make this rating = 1 star and then drop the .5 star ratings altogether?

JFC, in a normal government, that alone would be ground for impeachment to be started

A president waging war against the US is a literal act of treason. We're waaaaay past impeachment.

Of course, but I bet you $50 bucks that when all is said and done, no one from the Trump Administration will be held accountable for the foolishness that has transpired.

 But he's not waged war against the US, it's literally a tweet? And how exactly is a President supposed to wage war against the US with the US military? Where would the "treason" come in since it's not an enemy of the US?

They're just trying to stoke the civil war.

The moment someone opens fire it's red vs blue states.

How does this even work with the make up of the country currently? With so many states being deep purple, or many deep blue states where the blue is mostly very concentrated.

We're in the timeline where Clicky is being a voice of reason.

Is resetera gonna say we need to ban knives after what happened in Charlotte?

That's one of those crimes they wont even talk about

I have no idea what happened in Charlotte but you've given me enough information to know exactly what happened in Charlotte.

Oh so still being on X isn't bad then? Okay! 

[Boredfrom]

Considering the enemies are called Orphans and they love merging with each other, for people who have played the game, is there a thematic reason to all this? Does The Traveller factor into this? Does the game say anything about gender? Feel free to spoiler tag.

Looks pretty queer and affirming, so not problematic and your kink-shaming is fascist-adjacent at best.

edit: They/them/she write fiction too:

Aerith and Tifa learn not to eat food prepared for them in the Corel Labor camp, the hard way. Pear & Watermelon Transformation/Expansion. Popping. Oneshot.

Of all the way's Tifa imagined dying, wasting away in a Shinra labor camp wasn't one of them. It had been several days since they'd been falsely imprisoned for a massacre in the Golden Saucer--which mockingly loomed over the entire facility--but when had the truth ever stopped Shinra oppression? So here she was, busting rocks twelves hours a day, with only the prospect of being a Chocobo jockey to look forward to. Her whole body ached, and her skin and hair felt grimey from all the dirt and dust. Her only company at the moment was-

Tifa gave a sidelong glance at the door to the ruined cabin as it swung open. Aerith; even with a frayed blouse and frizzy brown hair, she exuded an aura of pure, feminine beauty. Tifa had always felt a weird sensation when around her as group, but now separate from the rest of the party it had begun to manifest as an uncomfortable awkwardness.

Realizing she had been eyeing her, Tifa cleared her throat. "So, any luck meeting up with the guys?"

She tilted her head, biting her lip. "Well... yes and no. I met with Barrett and Cloud--they seemed to be alright--but the wall dividing he camp is really sturdy and heavily guarded. We agreed to meet back tomorrow morning between guard shifts to discuss the situation more."

Tifa leaned back in her chair, rubbing her chin. "So you met Cloud... did you talk about anything?"

Aerith blinked. "Besides trying to get out of here you mean? No, why do you ask?"

"It's just..." Tifa searched for the words. "Well, you've been getting along awful well with him, having just met him and all, and I just-"

"Is this really the time for that?" Aerith said with a hint of frustration. "We need to work together to get out of here."

"I wasn't saying anything," Tifa said with a shrug, throwing up her gloved hands. "Just curious is all."

Aerith sighed, then glanced over at the table set across from her. "Wait, they brought you food?"

"Hmph?" Tifa gave a perplexed look. "What are you-"

Out of the corner of her, she saw it, startling her from her seat. A nicely prepared tray with two pieces of fruit sat on the table; a pear and a slice of watermelon, with a note she couldn't read due to the distance and dim lighting. Tifa noticed Aerith's eyes were now glaring her.

"Th-that wasn't here before..." she muttered, slowly making her way over to the table.

Aerith brushed back one of her bangs as she strutted forward as well.'Yes, I'm supposed to believe you didn't notice them bringing in a platter of food... have they been feeding you this the whole time, while the rest of us are stuck with gruel?"

"I haven't touched it," Tifa explained. "I literally noticed it just now." She picked up the note, which read, in elegant cursive: "COURTESY OF H. , WITH LOVE."

"And they brought us just two pieces of fruit," Aerith scoffed.

"I mean, there are two of us, so it does kinda make sense," Tifa said, holding out the note for Aerith to see. "Apparently a gift of some guy named H-something? Probably a guard I'd bet."

Aerith rolled her eyes. "Just what we need, a secret admirer..." She tapped her fingers against the plate. "Well, no sense letting this food go to waste, assuming you haven't already wasted most of it," she wrapped her fingers aroun

You'll have to click to read the rest.  

Spoiler:  (click to show)(click to hide)

"M-MY ASS!" Aerith shouted, placing her hands on her hips.

Funny, but I just can't picture a scenario where a female employee would take part in the violence, unless it was with her own car. In my mind, it would only make sense if she fit that "movie punk" stereotype. Which, honestly, might be a sexist way of thinking on my part.
After all, women can enjoy violence too.
I really didn't expect this article to make me reflect like this.
