alyssa @alyssa@cat.family

eventually i may do a more proper intro post, but as a placeholder for now:

hi, i’m alyssa, or lyssa, or alice. or a bunch of other names if you know me well.

i don’t know yet what i’ll about yet, but possibly my daily life, or things i read or watch, or write.

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.

perks of my random gender table

though i really should come up with a random nonbinary pronouns table at some point.

okay yeah i can see why some people came away from the starship troopers film reading it as pro-fascism

("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

@wallhackio for you, a cute salamander

oh, obviously i have a random dragon age table but i forgot to include it because it's part of my random dragon generation procedure

all this is necessary because foxes (a type of person) can perceive the ages of living things that they see

trolls have the most complicated table btw

current list of creatures i have random age tables for for this game:

• ordinary people
• basilisks
• bears
• caryatids (statues that spontaneously came to life)
• fey
• giant ferrets
• giant frogs
• giants
• horses
• medusas
• giant moles
• mules
• pegasoi
• giant spiders
• trolls

i wish to request that a person in the northern hemisphere take and send me a photograph of the moon

previous post's image is just a realization of the post it replies to
