@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz on the *fourth* hand, i say that some jokes are funnier the longer you stretch them, so,

sometimes you just gotta uhhhhhh https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BsW9G4jM1-LR0JUbNfmy6I--xAhw7AjXMJtnNtJPX18/edit?usp=sharing stop doing msq on your alt in #ffxiv to cough up a bit of story like a cat horks up a hairball

@Flipp@snouts.online sorry to dump some info on your perfectly innocent post lol

i only managed to learn about it from a 'history of the english novel' course i took in college and don't get me wrong. it's a fucking horrid book. don't torture yourself by reading it. but it also obviously took off because the man thinking he was writing this great tale of morality accidentally made something a lot of ladies were horny for and then wanted merch of LMAO

@Flipp@snouts.online so the very idea that, say, you'd want merchandise with your whole ~media experience~?

it's something that women clamored for in the 18th century, and it became an industry that *they* demanded exist. it's why you can go get a Marvel brand hoodie and collectible action figure - because ladies, back in the day, wanted some Pamela teacups, LOL

@Flipp@snouts.online hell, you can go back even longer than that and say that proto-fandom owes it to the fans of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamela;_or,_Virtue_Rewarded#Reception Pamela - which was so controversial and beloved among women that it became a massive cultural event, with people buying fans to declare themselves "pro-Pamela" or "anti-Pamela" at balls, buying ceramic figurines, etc. etc. - https://www.anglistik.uni-kiel.de/de/tl_files/EnglSem/Fachbereiche/Kultur-%20und%20Medienwissenschaften/Projekte/18th_century_london/pam.html#products - something much loathed by men of the age, but kept afloat by women fans.

nihil novi sub sole, Twilight, more or less!

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz note: i'm probably biased towards not knowing where to cut in the gulf between ARR and HW because i just really like moenbryda and think she should have been around for longer

i'm basically that "i just think they're neat" marge simpson meme except instead of potatoes it's moenbryda

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz honestly i actually have some fondness for the between hw-and-sb and then sb-and-shb bits

but the end of ARR gulf is just.... a lot

as a writer, i sympathize, because a lot of stuff happens in that span of time that sets up quite a lot later on, so it's hard to know where to cut. but as a player: jesus fucking christ.

even something like a mini-skip of the in-between that you could buy with gil for alts/returning players would be a big relief.

OK THIS IS DEFINITELY THE BEST NAME I'VE SPOTTED IN THE WILD TODAY

ok so it's probably the problem is that menstrual blood is way more basic and the delicate fucking rainforest that is my ladygarden is acidic, but either way, SHIT'S WONKY. I'M UNCOMFORTABLE. AND I WISH I HAD THE BUDGET TO IMPULSE-BUY A BIDET RIGHT NOW, AND MAYBE ONE OF THOSE LITTLE SILICONE SPATULAS TO SCRAPE THE CLOTS ON OUT

if i had more spoons i would go scrape out one of the clots (because my period is deciding to be eerily light right now, meaning there is no deluge to actually move the clots along, which is basically hell) and see if we have any ph testing strips in the darkroom because if you told me my period blood was approximately the same ph as gastric acid i'd absolutely believe you based on how it feels
