going from your raucous pub voice to a gently whispered aside into someone's ear, instead of encoding it on their napkin and leaving it under the spare soap in the bathroom
this is the difference between taking your conversation to your bedroom from the living room, versus communicating via deaddrop
Hello @slooploon!! *excited mews*
@Jules das passiert so leicht :D
@Jules viel Spaß draußen! 🌈✨
oh noooooo :( people should just stop doing that. CN transmisia for an anecdote under the readmore, you don't have to read it
@Jules reminds me of a professor who was like "I'm called xyz and that's not going to change ever! unless i have a ~sex change~ haha" when really he was just trying to say that some thing was permanent m(
Plus I could upvote all the "Hello, I am a turtle"-like sentences because hello, that's what keeps me motivated
While far from addressing the underlying problems, a way to up/downvote sentences in Duolingo would be super useful. It's enough to see a sexist/heteronormative/cisnormative/annoying sentence once, let me practice that thing in a different context so I don't have to ragequit.

MASTODON RPG: THE ADVENTURES OF LYRA THE ARMOURED BEAR THIEF
Rules: I present a Situation, fist person to respond (as long as it is not entirely absurd) determines what Lyra does or says. I describe what happens next. I might or might not roll a dice.
Character: Lyra is a 220 cm tall panserbjørne thief that has been cursed so she can only speak the truth. Even though being a bear, she rejects the Idea of killing for food but is craving meat nevertheless.
IT BEGINS
You wake up in complete darkness. You don't know where you are or why you are there. Creaking wood reaches your ear and the splash of water. The floor gently rocks. You smell someone else...
hurt/comfort-y dream continued
and my teammates (lol one of them was a person I hated in high school) were cute and kind and caring and we finished the run, which included some really bizarre parts like running along a boat race/fight(? it seemed fighty), and we were the last ones and it was shitty and not a good idea but we had each other. Awww xD
Also I dreamed something that was really nice and really nice hurt/comfort
It was a variation on that trope that is a thing in my dreams, where I pretend to be injured to get attention, but it doesn't work bc nobody believes it or cares… Except this dream was kind of the opposite, it was about running through woods in teams (why would I do that o.o) and i/we surprise-won the first run (lol) and my team didn't want us to continue when i sprained my ankle in the second run but i kind of forced us,
ah, closed it. well, i did SO many things today, now i really need sleeps. don't wake me tomorrow, unless you bring coffee ~
