@Tealfuleyes I have friends complaining about internet problems too.

[Richard Roberts @MadeOfTeeth]

@UrsulaV Clodsire's Pokedex entry is pretty sweet.

[Richard Roberts @MadeOfTeeth]

@Nycteris "I wish Violet would stop shooting people in the head" dangerous friends.

[Richard Roberts @MadeOfTeeth]

@Nycteris Yes, Rachel's fighting style is "I have dangerous friends."

[Richard Roberts @MadeOfTeeth]

@ProBirdRights With wit, grace, and keen social insight.

@dgollamaart Mediocre social site. Great art posting site.

[Richard Roberts @MadeOfTeeth]

Now if you'll excuse me, Pokemon Violet just unlocked.

@UrsulaV It could take weeks for Twitter to crash, at which point it won't be able to restart. Or five minutes. Just because we've crossed the event horizon doesn't mean we're IN the singularity yet.

@phoebeandheruni Haggard! HAGGARD!

[Richard Roberts @MadeOfTeeth]

@diamond_dusted YAY. I've moved my Funny Story thread there, so I will certainly see you.

[Richard Roberts @MadeOfTeeth]

@Tealfuleyes By gelfling hands, or else by none! Rockin' the Froud Snout there, girl!

[Richard Roberts @MadeOfTeeth]

@bannedfromkmart That's right, I have no idea how I'll keep in even this loose touch with you. Hrrm.

[Richard Roberts @MadeOfTeeth]

This has been going on for a sixth of the book, and Shelley writes long books. 100 pages of 'English aristocrats do not like being poor.' Now you know why my updates are so slow. There's little to say and it's a grind reading through this part.

[Richard Roberts @MadeOfTeeth]

I am trying to think of whether Shelley has physically harmed a character younger than 16. At 16 they're automatically signed up on the sexual predation waiting list, but for children it's just their parents dying. I'm surprised Raymond/Perdita are still alive, frankly.

Villiers: Maybe I should kill myself? I deserve to die for subjecting my darling wife to this kind of poverty and hopelessness, with only the filthiest and most ignorant dregs of humanity to associate with!
Ethel: what part of im from illinois did you not understand.

@diamond_dusted He has a face and is very alert.

@Animus64012228 @NDadsAfterDark I have already bought Violet, but I'm not really into completeness. Nevertheless, trading might be useful!

[Richard Roberts @MadeOfTeeth]

This is the chillest chicken.
