In America I ordered a milkshake and the young man turned it upside down over my head.
I did not move. A samurai does not flinch, even when the ice cream is above him and gravity is the law.
Nothing fell.
The cup hung there, upside down, defying the sky, and the boy held it over me with the calm of a man who has done this ten thousand times and buried his fear long ago.
This is the Blizzard. This is Dairy Queen.
If it falls, they told me, you get it free.
I understood at once. This was not dessert. This was an ordeal.
The boy was not showing off. He was swearing an oath, with his own arm, that he had made the thing thick enough to hang against the earth, and he was betting the price of it on his honor.
The flip is not a trick.
It is a vow.
In my land a smith proved his blade by cutting.
Here a boy of seventeen proves his by turning it over a stranger's head and looking him in the eye while the whole line waits to see if he lied.
He did not lie.
He set it upright, handed it to me, and said "there you go, man," then turned to the next customer as if he had not just gambled his good name across a counter.
I tipped him everything in my pocket.
He tried to give it back. He said it was just a Blizzard.
I told him it was not just a Blizzard.
I could not explain the rest in English, and there was a line, and he was busy.
So I bowed instead.
He said, "You too, man."
That answered nothing I had said.
It answered everything I had felt.
Dealer: Got that noble and righteous pack for ya, just be safe with it, okay?
Me: Dude I live for cruelty and my heart is closed to the world I’ll be fine
1 hour later
*through tears* I have to save everyone
I woke up this morning and realized I can’t do it anymore.
After 600 games, I quit.
- ADC is the hardest role in the game.
- I was wrong about how they should itemize.
- Support mains are retarded, 90% of jungle mains are even worse.
I’m gonna use everything I’ve learned about what NOT to do as a jungler to level up my gameplay and see how far I can progress.
To everyone who plays ADC and had to read my tweets over the last few weeks, I’m sorry.
To everyone who doesn’t and still thinks what I said initially was correct, play it yourself and find out just how misinformed and privileged you truly are.
