This has been bothering me since I started playing otome games, especially the Ikemen series (aka “Kidnapping for Fun and Profit Romance”). Why are the MC’s always helpless as shit and/or shaking in their boots as soon as the love interest gets into some kind of scuffle?
My daddy didn’t teach me to throw a haymaker so some malnourished nineteenth-century twat could pick me up and carry me away. When the MC is threatened by an antagonist/random mugger/whatever plot device, I want an option to say, “Bitch I can bench-press you and your Dickensian orphan buddies, go eat whatever sewer rats you use as a protein source and come back to me in a couple months.”
Maybe it’s a cultural thing, and the Japanese market likes their protagonists sweet and innocent, or maybe I’m just white trash, I dunno. Give me an MC who is about to take her earrings off and turn her rings in ‘cause she is gonna step to these fools.
In summary:
When you’re riddled with anxiety over living in another four years of a fascist hellscape and you’re still hungover from drinking an entire bottle of Wild Turkey during election night coverage and you had to be hungover in court and the judge thought you were a monumental dumbass
BUT
THERE’S A PROPOSAL POP QUIZ
AND I GOT THE SATAN SSR
I got it for both PS4 and PC, and the PS4 version is way smoother for some reason. Still love it.
Also I’m really disappointed I don’t get cyber enhanced genitals, at least not to the point I’m at in the game. :(
Gonna be loosing my life to Cyberpunk2077 as soon as it downloads, can't wait 😂🤘🏻 hahaha
Ok let’s say all kids who want to go to college decide to join the military.
What y’all gonna do with all the kids with depression, or ADHD, or physical disabilities? They usually can’t enlist without a medical waiver, so what? You can’t go to college because you were born wrong, oops.
And what y’all gonna do when you have to train, arm, feed, and pay the salaries of millions of additional troops? And then pay for their college on top of that? Why don’t you save money and cut out the middle part, and just pay for the college?
Are y’all still gonna bitch about how China outpaces us in education and we don’t have a strong educated workforce, but you don’t want people to go to college unless they’re willing to get shot? Y’all gonna pretend this is a matter of “econ 101″ when you apparently didn’t sit through economics long enough to learn what a positive externality is?
It’s almost like conservatives react purely out of the spiteful attitude that “I had to pay for college/health care and it was hard for me, so everyone else must have to suffer as well.”
(edit: and I say this as someone with $200k debt from grad/law schools, and who would be fucking thrilled to see everyone younger than me go to school for free, and I’ll rant about that all day)
I’m impressed! Your linework is much cleaner, with a more defined structure. Colors are blended well and I can tell you’ve thought about the lighting and shadow. I’m so excited to see what you do in the future!
Wanted to redraw some old art and see how much I improved so be my judge! How'd I do?
Art on left is 2-3 years old while art on right is recent
Mammon isn’t stupid, he’s *impulsive*. He allows his sin to override his intellect, which to be fair we see in a lot of other demons who don’t get characterized as stupid. He’s apparently good at math (if he thinks of the numbers as Grimm). He’s the second strongest brother, so he isn’t going to be a total airhead. His lack of emotional intelligence and self-control get interpreted as stupidity, which is unfair.
Reminds me of the time I met a guy who got stopped by the police with a car full of baby alligators.
(which were illegal, but less so than the trunk full of meth)
Beel: It’s not illegal
Police officer staring into Beel’s car trunk which is full of bread: it’s just... there’s so much-
Beel: but it’s not illegal, is it
Police officer:
I’m from the same part of NC and I agree
I WILL END YOU IF YOU USE CHICKEN BREAST FOR CHICKEN AND DUMPLINGS
DON’T YOU FUCKING FORGET IT

I feel like I need to bring this post to my therapist so we can work out why I am solely attracted to moody daddies.
Oh no, they’d get along perfectly. If anything, Lucifer comes to him for advice.
Lucifer: I like someone what should I do?
Jumin: Hmm, have you considered locking them away? A cage would be preferred—
Lucifer: *taking notes* ...And of course, I don’t embrace my feelings. I let this emotion fester and die.
Jumin: *nods* Obviously.
oh god, they bond over wine and music and then bounce ideas off of each other on how to deal with emotions without actually dealing with them 💀
I’m drinking and tired of politics, so let’s do this.
Nickname: I always go by Nikki, which is the short form of my middle name. My mother named me Whitney specifically so I wouldn’t get a nickname, but my dad decided that since he was Ricky, it would be cute to have a kid whose name rhymed with his.
Zodiac: Cancer, the crybaby bitch of the zodiac meme pages.
Height: 5′2″ but I refuse to leave the house without heels so TAKE THAT NATURE.
Hogwarts: Gryffindor forever.
Song stuck in my head: “Save Your Tears” - The Weeknd
Number of followers: Fuck if I know, my fragile ego won’t let me look.
Amount of sleep: Not more than 4 hours at a time, but I usually get two or so blocks of sleep so I guess it adds up.
Lucky number: I don’t know, I usually play 20 when I play roulette.
Dream job: Independently wealthy guinea pig trainer.
Wearing: My fluffy bathrobe I haven’t washed in several weeks so it smells like my dogs who use it as a bed when I’m out of the house (I’m sexy).
Favorite instrument: Played the piano as a kid, sucked ass at it, but still love a good Satie bop.
Aesthetic: Dark academia or bubble goth, depending on how drunk I am.
Favorite author: I usually read nonfiction, but I own basically the entire collection of Mary Roach’s books.
Favorite animal noise: When guinea pigs hear a bag crinkle and they go whee whee whee
Random: My past jobs have included tanning salon manager, sex ed teacher, math tutor, DMV clerk, and staff writer at a newspaper.

Wearing: the most used sweater I have that I refuse to give away no matter how old it is, pajama pants and one of my knee high striped socks.

Aesthetic: hmmm, I'm not really sure! Any aesthetic I use for something is used to match whatever mood I am trying to give or just something that looks good.
Favorite author: myself lol
Favorite animal noise: any bird noises are my favorite noises even if it is them screaming at 2am.
Random: I once tried to impress my crush by doing a high kick with flip flops and the one that was on the foot I used ended up on my house's roof.
