reclaiming "bootlicker" for ppl with footware fetishes

i have a dnd character who is a wizard and studies thaumatology, literally "study of miracles". she's into writing spells and tearing apart how magic works. but unlike a lot of fantasy like "oh you must read the works of the elders who had a deep connection with magic" she's very much a scientist about it, doing experiments and publishing papers

when she explains what she does to people, she often gets questions like, what specific kinds of things is she trying to figure out. her go-to answer is that a huge unsolved mystery in her field is why everything in magic seems to happen in multiples of six seconds. it's this constant throughout different schools of magic, independently discovered by spellcrafters from different cultures... it seems fundamental, but why? what's special about six seconds?

of course, the dnd rules state that six seconds is the length of a combat round, but she doesn't know that

it will never stop blowing my mind that i read an article about the "dark legacy of science after Soviet socialism" and it was primarily about how there was equal gender representation among scientists in Russia.

Cities? You mean 3D cyberpunk hellscapes?

@lynnesbian My personal favorite is referring to "allism" as if it's a disorder, talking about its symptoms, using phrases like "people who suffer from allism" or else just "the allistics," etc

there's something really powerful about saying shit like "the neurotypicals are at it again"

like you cannot escape the fact that pretty much everyone treats people with mental illnesses as weird and easy to make fun of and lesser than "normal" people, and rejecting it and turning it on its head feels really good

I cant wait for the cyberpunk consumorist hellscape

I cant wait to buy better than life chips that simulate the sensation of getting into bed and writhing around in the cold sheets over and over until my brain synapses fray and die
