Look, my character is a #pan ass genderfluid bottom and I just need some help getting the feel for that since I am none of those things

@AngryCommieKender
Muffin is a chinchilla, and she's a bit over a year old now. They are native to South America and used to be made into fur coats. It takes about 300 Muffins to make a fur coat, so the wild population was really taking a nosedive before breeders figured out how to breed them.

The biggest roadblock in breeding chinchillas, btw, is that they are such divas that they would rather starve than eat suboptimal pellets and hay, and prospective mothers' standards are even higher.

Between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back

@calamitycastle The harder one is basically Doc Ock as a sith lord. Imagine: Soresu with 6 lightsabers.

The easier one is similar in spirit: mad scientist lawyer. Gold breastplate under a pinstripe suit. Sunglasses with scanning equipment. Lots of little details like that.

@CobblerScholar
General vibes, really. Heroic arthurian knights, mythic quests for noble heros, restoring a rightful heir to the throne who magically has both fantastic administration skills and a good moral compass.

The main plotline is an interpretation of the Merovingian Dynasty conspiracy, just to give you an idea of what's going on. (According to some crackpots, the Priory of Sion is a secret organization to install leaders into world govs who are literally descended from Jesus Christ.)

I mean, there's a reason I didnt lead with that lmao. I know it's demented but I don't think it's completely insane. I mean, George Lucas had a similar experience that gave him the idea of starting the Original Trilogy at Episode 4

Long story. When I was a kid, I found a cool semi-epistolary 8-book series at my school library about a modern-day kid named Pendragon hopping through a portal to save alternate timelines. It was so cool to me that the series jumped around in time so we had to figure out when we were in Pendragon's timeline. Turns out my school shelved them in alphabetical order, and they also lacked the first and last books. I had a blast & I've been trying to recreate that experience ever since.

@jewbacca117
Can't argue with that. But usually when I'm interested in a series I watch the episodes of each season in a random order, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to accidentally start with the shit parts.

@SamuraiBeandog @ThisIsAManWhoKnowsHowToGling

Ooh this is a cool idea. And I wouldn't worry about the evilness of the act since Lawful Evil is a Lawful alignment

@LilB0kChoy
Nope. That said, they barely pee for a critter their size. They are very water-efficient desert critters. Their poop goes everywhere, though.

@LilB0kChoy
Fun story about that: last week, Muffin was running around on our futon enjoying being somewhere she wasn't supposed to be, when she suddenly turned around, looked me dead in the eyes, and made a face I can best describe as "toddler pooping in diaper". She left a wet spot there as big as her that soaked all the way down to the mattress, which thankfully had a waterproof cover.

No. Everywhere is the bathroom. Especially for girls; girls sometimes express their displeasure by spraying urine at you. Muffin doesn't do that, though.

@Pandantic
She actually does not like being pet. She tolerates it as part of interacting with her humans, and she will climb all over me if able, but touching the royal person is usually forbidden. What she wants here is to be let out for floor time!

@INeedMana
I just noticed Piefed's hastags aren't visible over here on Mastodon. Odd.

@Geodad
Happy birthday Perseus! I can't see the pic from Mastodon. Hopefully they fix that someday.

@Geodad
I think we might have the same brand of cage. Do you also have a Critter Nation cage?

@thelsim
Great idea. I will look into the game, too.

@tokensane @rpg

In my setting magic is superscience left over from the first age. Could be nanites in everything, could be something weirder. The players casting spells is similar to if your dog figured out how to say "Alexa, all lights on" and realized saying those magic words created light.

Also, the aliens are going to be demons, sort of, being the children of the Fear of the Other and the Fear of the Incomprehensible. Not that the aliens or PCs would know this. So magic will work fine.

@LegitSpaghetti @rpg

You actually gave me a different great idea. In my setting, we have all the normal fantasy stuff, but the elves are robots who often modify their bodies to do stuff like have plasma cannons hidden in their arms or directly interface with the GPS satellites. I think something like the Borg would be a great way to handle half-elves.
