  • A general reminder that this is sneer club, not debate club or snipe-at-one-another club. I am reluctant to lock this entire thread as it still seems possible that interesting and/or funny things will be said about it, but that reluctance will evaporate if people do not behave themselves. Play nice, assume that other awful.systems users are not fools, go play a round of GORILLAS.BAS, and tempt not the banhammer.

  • I feel a bit regretful sometimes that none of my copious fanfic output has inspired anyone to draw fanart. But at least no one has gotten weird about it, either.

  • Ziz has always had a tendency to express her ideas through metaphors in fiction that are familiar to her. We spoke at length about Contessa and Doctor Mother from Worm; the Wardens from World of Warcraft; Frisk, Sans, and especially Undyne from Undertale; Tassadar from Starcraft; Harry and Dumbledore from HPMOR; Iji.

    Does "read a second book" apply here, or is this a "read a first book" situation?

    From my perspective, my whole life has been, when you raise the banner to oppose the apocalypse, crazy people gather around making things worse
