ladybugs are surprisingly non-round

my wife is very right, the guy in Ran who, having been ordered to kill his lord’s wife and bring her head, instead bring the head of a fox statue and upon being called on this very seriously responds basically “wow she must have been a fox in disguise” (and in response to the statue bit being pointed out is like “not only did the fox turn into a human it also turned itself to stone?? how devious foxes are”) is the best character

tonight's backup scenario (somewhat unsure if two people will make it for the normal Monday game, and 2 people is a bit low for my usual backup game), ended up with 2 out of 3 named NPCs being nonbinary; the last is a woman.

("real" here being of course a joking way of speaking about whether they form a clade or not)

it turns out that, inverse to what zie had though, butterflies are the ones that are real, unlike moths.

tonight my wife had to apologize to me for misleading me about the reality of moths

i like how all the women in hong kong martial arts movies also have good kung fu.

i’m glad my wife shares my keen awareness of when a tv show uses a not actually reserved number
