Fan of things, curious person, lover of history, cat owner. She/her. Still trying to come to grips with being in my 30s.

@YamaDolll @ashesforfoxes It’s always so telling what hobbies and interests people are “allowed” to have when they get older. Sports, craft beer, “acceptable” genres of music, cars… basically things that are stereotypically straight white guy interests.

@BenBowlinHSW Reviews of tarot decks, cool language stuff, and creepy mysteries (internet mysteries, lost media, hiking disappearances, etc) are some of my go-to internet rabbit holes

Apotheosis is a GM-less worldbuilding ttrpg about how mythology changes over generations. This edition includes new art from @_bokchois, @jaycalves and @momatoes, a completely new layout from @DinoberryJam, and reworked and expanded rules edited by @possiblewgames

@cottageinwood @Waterstones I love @MunrosBooks in Victoria and both @MassyBooks and the Paper Hound Bookshop in Vancouver!

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@BenBowlinHSW I love the way people from all sorts of locations and backgrounds can build communities around even the most niche of interests. Also it’s how I met my fiancé!

@BenBowlinHSW Blobfish who’ve been removed from the deep. They just don’t do well up here and they look fully and ridiculously aware of that fact.

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@theagwrites The squeeeesh! 😍

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@gordiemurphy Plant names are great for cats, so I vote Parsely (our neighbours have a Thistle and a Hickory and it works so well)

@CagleCats You must Behold his leggy

@alexjkane We have a small collection of consoles, but the newest gen we have - aside from the Switch - is the PS3. We don’t have the money for the newer consoles, and really we don’t see a point in upgrading anyway.

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@Rosdottir My vote is for either druid or sorcerer!

@sameoldghost Meanwhile the romance arc for boys and men is basically “I was super into this hot girl and because I never stopped pursuing her, I won her like a prize”.

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@sameoldghost What’s written for girls and women in fantasy and fairy tales seem to be cautionary tales about not being TOO free or TOO powerful, and settling for a “nice” love interest instead of an exciting one.

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@SketchesbyBoze It’s hard to learn how to read critically without a good teacher (and reading critically is essential!) but I agree that you can learn a whole lot outside of formal education and shouldn’t despair if it’s not an option for you.

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@sameoldghost Yes! This is why I never find those kinds of stories satisfying. I don’t want to watch the protagonist ending up in a boring cage.

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@BenBowlinHSW Raven from Haida mythology would be CONSTANTLY shit-posting (sometimes literally 😬)

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@northgalis THIS is why I love DBZ

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@SketchesbyBoze Very glad to see that I’m NOT actually the only one! Looks like there’s quite a few of us with cultured taste 😁

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@SketchesbyBoze I think I might have been the only one with a crush on Pippin 😆

[Heather @Frakkyfire]

@black_tym It also reinforces the idea that attractive = good person and unattractive = bad person. And hurts anyone who happens to have similar looks to the shitty person you’re making fun of.
