I fucking love Irish slang like it’s the most creative craft ever.
Today I heard a coffin being referred to as a “wooden onesie” in the sentence “Ah jayysus, me nanny looks better than ye and she’s in a bleedin wooden onesie” and it was honestly life changing
enemy npc, about to kill the party’s bard: any last words?
bard: hold up. hold up just hold on a second.
enemy npc: what?
bard: you’re going to kill me with THAT stance? that arm positioning?
enemy npc: …yes?
bard: at least let me die with dignity! your form is terrible, and you look like you’ve never seen a sword before, much less USE one.
enemy npc, seething: HOW DARE YOU INSUL-
bard: please. please, i beg of you. my soul will know no peace if i die by such an amateur. hand me your sword so i can provide an example of how to do it correctly.
the party, in the back, in disbelief: holy Shit
the dm, in their head: this fucking dude
enemy npc: ex..cuse me?
bard: let me so you the proper form to hold that sword, and i will let you kill me. it’s all that i ask. it’s such a simple request, and it will benefit you greatly in both your technique and the fact that i will be dead.
the dm: Yeah Im Uh, Gonna Need You To Roll Persuasion
bard, ooc: *rolls* alright, i rolled a 19
the dm: hhhhmmmmm okay, i dont think-
bard, ooc: PLUS my persuasion proficiency modifier so…30 😀
the dm: …D u d e.
bard, ooc: :DDD
the dm: they look at you for a moment, sigh, and then hand out their sword for you to grab, and say “fine. make it quick.”
bard, ooc: i say “thank you very much! now, the best way to do it…is…like this!” and i lunge at them and kill them with their own sword.
the dm: aaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA FUCKING!
the party: *loud, raucous cheering*
the dm: ROLL ATTACK WITH ADVANTAGE BECAUSE THEY LET THEIR GUARD DOWN I G U E S S
bard, ooc: *rolls*
bard, ooc:
bard, ooc: 😀
the dm: you Didn’t
bard, ooc: natural 20 :DDD
the party: *just Screaming*
the dm: i dont. i don’t even need you to roll damage, just…
the dm: how do you wanna do this?
the party: *even louder, raucous cheering and screaming. the rogue has to lean onto the barbarian so he doesn’t fall over from laughter. the druid DOES fall over and that makes the fighter laugh louder. the dm has his face in his hands and is groaning about an hour long boss fight being cut down to two minutes because he just HAD to make the boss a dramatic perfectionist. the cleric in character has to use the inspiration the bard gave her earlier so that she doesn’t break concentration on a spell from laughing too hard. the bard is later found dead in miami.*
We’ve all seen that Gothel makes Rapunzel come to her for hugs, but today I realized it goes deeper than that. Gothel doesn’t want Rapunzel showing physical affection unless she has been given specific permission. Opening her arms is that unspoken permission.
For example, towards the beginning, when she’s reminding Gothel that it’s her birthday tomorrow, she grabs her arm in exuberance. Gothel is put out and then pries Rapunzel’s hands off her arm, all the while pretending she doesn’t remember (or care) that her birthday – something Rapunzel is extremely excited about – is fast approaching.
She also uses Rapunzel’s need for physical affection, deliberately taunting and “teaching” her with it by pretending to offer it, then taking it away immediately.
The first bazzilionty times I saw this movie, I always assumed Rapunzel was relieved to see Gothel towards the end of Mother Knows Best just because she was scared.
But now I realize it’s not only because she’s scared, but because Gothel is now giving Rapunzel permission to seek the creature comfort of physical contact that she so desperately needs after the gamut of fear she’s run.
Eugene, on the other hand, starts showing physical affection as soon as he starts feeling any affection for Rapunzel at all. He uses it as a comfort. Yet Rapunzel keeps her hands to herself.
It continues when he gives her the little flag, touching the small of her back in an affectionate way. But her hands (and attention) are full at this moment.
In fact, the first time she realizes she’s touching him, and he’s touching her, and there’s affection and enjoyment buzzing between them, she’s the first to pull away.
She’s alarmed at first, then apologetic and sheepish. Sorry I was touching you, Eugene. And he politely takes a step back, tuned in to her discomfort and giving her a little more space.
But that is why the moment on the boat is so important, and why Rapunzel has the reaction she does.
In taking Rapunzel’s hand, out of the blue (as far as she can tell), it’s sending her a clear message that he feels the same about her that she does about him, and that physical affection is both alright and wanted. That he will seek out her attention in a way Gothel never has. And from this moment on, she touches him often, holding hands for the rest of the song, brushing his hair from his face as he lay dying, and never letting go of his head, even after he’d died in her arms. Not to mention kissing him when he lives again, holding hands on the balcony while they wait for her parents and end-of-movie smooching.
Bruh.
ouch my heart
Mother Gothel was such a great villain because she was so realistic
Look I hate doing this but I need some help. I don’t work until march because I work seasonally, I’ve been doing my commissions as quickly and as many as possible and still waiting on payment for some
I just can’t keep up with bills and trying to keep food on the table and I keep going more and more into the negative. If anyone can help me out either through patreon or PayPal it’d help me a lot, at least to break even.
wolfwolf32@hotmail is my paypal email
I’m about halfway there to breaking even, please if you can help at all it’d be greatly appreciated!
When you’re being abused, being accused of something is equal to being guilty of said thing, and thus being convicted/punished. You can’t defend yourself either, as you’ll be invalidated/gaslighted/otherwise manipulated or threatened into silence or agreeing with the abuser. That, or your self-defense will automatically be taken as evidence of your “guilt.” Sometimes they won’t give you a chance to speak. Sometimes you’ll wonder if you’re actually guilty of said thing, and you just forgot because the abuser made you believe your brain is defective, etc.
This is all vile, manipulative, and scummy bullshit. Abusers are just trying to feel powerful and justified in abusing you. They gaslight and silence you so you can’t interfere with their fantastical delusions. And it’s usually over petty things too (which goes to show how immature abusers are).
I think this speaks for itself. Accepting a person doesn’t mean you get to put limits on their freedom. You can’t be an ally and want us to stop talking, or labeling, or demanding to be heard.
okay, i dont think-
