Got My Textile-obsessed Roommate Into Wayneradiotv's Gnome Series And In Return They Cross-stiched This

we all laughed when the king said “this peace is what all true warriors strive for” but you know what? that was the realest shit he ever said

i love guilty gear idk much of shit about the game but someone will ask me "hey can you draw this guilty gear character for me" and i'll open the reference image to some kind of japanese-christian space priest

and then i scroll down and he's wearing some sweet kicks with all that

hiring a wizard to break whatever curse is holding henry kissingers shitty body together and laughing with childish glee as he instantly collapses into individual limbs like a lego character

Gonna get myself a fun little surprise I guess

That post that's like "stop writing characters who talk like they're trying to get a good grade in therapy" really blew the door wide open for me about how common it's become for a character's emotional intelligence to not be taken into consideration when writing conflict. I remember the first time I went to therapy I had such a hard time even identifying what I was feeling, let alone had the language to explain it to someone else. Of course there are plenty of people who've never been to therapy a day in their life who are in tune to their emotions. But even they would have some trouble expressing themselves sometimes. You have to take into account there are plenty of people who are uncomfortable expressing themselves and people who think they're not allowed to feel certain ways. It also makes for more interesting conflict to have characters with different levels of understanding.
