mi reacción después de leer un párrafo de una fic: una de las maneras más gays de decir que es hetero

due to sofi mishearing me i have now decided that today is also Vivi Day

@xsssm local buying things websites agree with you. “medias y pantys” (socks and pantyhose) is a subcategory of “ropa interior” (underwear)

to be clear it is also perfectly reasonable for people from spain to write los simuladores fics in their native dialect. it just has the potential to be really funny also.

"coger" in spain means like "to take", "to grab"
in argentina it means "to fuck"

now i'm imagining someone from spain writing a los simuladores fanfic and using the word "coger" in a very non-argentinian way.

presumably people from other anglophone countries frequently have this problem with usamerican authors of fic for media set in their countries

having to remind myself that a british writer writing a fic set in the US in their native dialect is every bit as reasonable as it would be for someone to write such a fic in, say, spanish

@Satsuma it seems like that's often a secondary factor; like, the goal isn't mainly to appease the peasantry, but rather 1. to strengthen them as a source of taxes and 2. to weaken the large landowners who are more politically influential

also tbh at the point i'm at in reading about chinese history, it's rare for a new dynasty to follow the end of prior one instead of a centuries-long period in which there is no unified chinese state

apparently basically every dynasty in chinese history starts out their reign with an agrarian reform

I have a sort of drop-in game that I try to offer to run on a weekly basis. It's largely a dungeon-crawling game, venturing into dangerous places, stealing treasure, meeting strange people, sometimes fighting the strange people. This week it'll be tonight at the time this link should display https://sharetime.zone/America/Buenos_Aires/2200 . It'll go for about 2 hours after that.

It's over discord voice chat. The game system is Dark Dungeons, which is kind of a take on old versions of D&D, but it's easy to pick up without prior familiarity.

If you're interested in playing tonight, lemme know on here and I'll get you the server invite. also i guess if you'd like to be informed about future occasions, let me know that too hehe

it's fun how cats drink very noisily.

'cause when vivi is drinking from her water cup, i can hear it from bed and be like "aww, she's hydrating"·

@aescling go rsvp on the event in my one shots discord server :P

at one point my wife showed me a post that was about how people with cats are always like "come look at the cat, it's urgent, they look exactly the same as usual so you have to come look"

and.... entirely true.

@aescling welllll if you're free this sunday, i'm hoping to run it
