A nothic that has discovered a ring of invisibility and a ring of mind shielding. It lives in the walls of the king’s palace, and wears the rings to listen in on war meetings and diplomatic visits.

The king has no idea how state secrets keep escaping his confidence, and he’s begun to turn paranoid and anxious, firing and exiling advisors left and right. The nothic is taking advantage of this, and is gleefully driving an entire nation into ruin and revelling in the fact that this secret belongs to it and it alone.

The culture I grew up in was as a Mormon in the Rocky Mountains. They don’t do matchmaking per se, but the Mormon church has specific congregations for specific phases of life. There are “family wards”, for Mormons who are married with kids, “seniors’ wards” in nursing homes and retirement homes so elders don’t have to travel as far for church on Sunday, and “Singles’ Wards”.

As soon as you turn 18, you basically get sentenced to Singles’ Ward until you manage to get a girlfriend/boyfriend. The cultural expectation is heavy enough that you’ll get a lot of weird looks if you’re still going to church with your parents as a 19-year old. Mormon churches are very activity-heavy, so during the week there will be a ton of church-sponsored group-date and double-date events. And because Mormons are really serious about the premarital chastity thing, they usually get married before they ever realize just how big a commitment that is.

I found out I was gay while I was in Singles’ Ward. Mormonism is a VERY homophobic religion. Things got awkward really, really fast.

I’m not laughing at him. It’s his kink, it’s whatever.

I’m laughing at her for (at least publicly) not knowing that he was a woman on the weekends.

Something something Black cops.

You can absolutely find a D&D group online. r/LFG is a good place to look. So is the Roll20.net website, and the Avrae.io Discord server.

Oh, that is slimy as fuck. 😡

They make you cry?

They’re not hippies. Real hippies tied themselves together across roads to protest the Vietnam war. They chained themselves to industrial equipment to protect nature.

These are not real hippies. They disappoint real hippies.

We’re working on it as fast as we can without getting shot.

I’d say so. Improv comedy groups are hard to find, but you know what isn’t? A Dungeons and Dragons group.

Many people who play D&D are writers themselves. Maybe not famous or published, but it’s a narratively creative exercise. Older and more experienced DMs will happily help you learn how to write a character that is interesting and unique. And as you play, you’ll get a feel for how to write a story that you like.

This is going to sound counterintuitive, but try writing fanfiction.

Fanfics aren’t necessarily the gorgeous polished final works you’d expect to find on a book store shelf. But what they can do is help put you into a certain mindset.

• How to write in character. You already know these characters very very well: their limits, their fears, their challenges, all of it.
• How to describe a place you can see. You know the setting where these characters move and work and live. Taking the time to describe familiar places gives you enough exercise to try describing unfamiliar places.
• How to move the plot. Is this too complicated for one episode? Then it might not be a short story, it might be a long one. Learning when to keep things simple and when to make them intricate.

Believe it or not, fanfiction IS real literature. Everything we “know” about King Arthur? Fanfiction and reboots. Dante’s Divine Comedy? Bible fanfiction. There is no shame in writing it. There’s no shame in reading it either.

He has a fetish. Not even that weird of a fetish, for sane people. Unfortunately, his wife is neither sane nor is she people.

tl;dr

You know the lady who was in charge of ICE? She shot her dog in the head and bragged about it in her psychotic autobiography.

Apparently her husband has a bimboification fetish. She didn’t know about it until after it showed up on the news.

Completely and totally unrelated question to the topic because your username interests me.

What kind of communist is Tasslehoff Burrfoot?

Putting on my playlist of pirate music.

Broke: “Ugh, I need to sweep, mop, and do the dishes.”

Woke: “ARRR, IT BE TIME TO BE SWABBIN’ THE DECK, YE SCURVY BILGE RAT!! AN’ WASH ALL O’ THE DISHES IN THE GALLEY, OR YE’LL BE WALKIN’ THE PLANK!!”

Edit: Ye asked fer the map to me hidden treasure. Here it be, me hearties!

It means that Lime will rent out their scooters in Israel.

Night. I have a hard time getting ready in the morning, and the last thing I need is to be late to work AND have wet hair the entire morning. But being nice and clean before bed helps me sleep.

Aaahhh. Clean and sleepy. ☺️😪
