Pretty Sure I Have At Least One OC For Each Of These (and Some For More Than One). But If I Had To Pick

Pretty sure I have at least one OC for each of these (and some for more than one). But if I had to pick one, it'd be:

"I'm secure in my butt," Hye-Su chirped. She even pulled the skirt of her bright yellow sundress taut across her rear, outlining the curve of her butt and part of her thighs. She loved to show off, but only in the privacy of their home. Anywhere else, she'd be the perfect picture of demure innocence and humility.

Su-Ji appreciatively eyed the emphasized butt. Normally she was not one to initiate physical touch... But at this moment, she couldn't resist reaching out, laying a slender hand on the soft, warm curve, and giving it a firm squeeze. "I'm secure in your butt, too."

Okay guys 😂

So my Mom gave me this old notepad where she wrote down all the unhinged shit she and her college friends ended up saying to each other like 20 years ago, and she also gave her permission to post the quotes. All my writeblr buddies, comment which of your characters might say one of these.

"If a laugh could stick it's pinkies out, yours would."

"Hi, I'm an invalid frog."

"Muffineth." (Said like in fake Old English)

"Oh! I wasn't thinking of Hamlet, I was thinking of Spaceballs."

"I'm secure in my butt." "I'm secure in your butt, too."

"So it's all proper and shit."

"Wouldn't it suck if God was a Plumber?"

Eat shit, CEO Dylan Jadeja and Marc Merrill, you penny-pinching parasites.

Yes, I've seen this, and yes, it's a fucking clownshoes travesty. Riot CEO Dylan Jadeja and Marc Merrill can both eat a big fat sack of shit, the executive class at that company is staffed by incompetent vultures who will throw five hundred people's lives into turmoil because interest rates aren't zero anymore, but who will never so much as shave the five o' clock shadow on their own compensation packages.

If they gave a single solitary shit about sustainability, they would have built a company that can operate when the interest rates are Anything Other Than Zero. They didn't do that because they don't actually care about that, and these layoffs are ENTIRELY about appeasing shareholders and meeting quarterly growth targets, no matter how pathetically Jadeja may protest that He Would Never.

Legends of Runeterra struggled because Riot catastrophically mismanaged it, as evidenced by the DOUBLE 180 degree turn they've now done on Path of Champions as a product. Riot Forge is getting shut down so Riot Games Inc. can go jerk off Saudi Arabia with PR laundering esports events and gag on MBS' veiny, shriveled faucet of oil money, I remember when the LCS tried to get away with promoting NEOM.

Since I cannot repeat it enough: eat shit, Riot CEO Dylan Jadeja, and also Marc Merrill, you incompetent fucking vultures.

Isreal is trying to force the world to move on from its disproven atrocity propaganda, and we should never allow it to do so.

Keep reminding the world.

Name the lairs.

My knowledge of Taylor Swift starts and ends with "I kinda vibe with some of her songs" and that she has an absolutely rabid fanbase

So seeing this was both entertaining and educational. Thank you tiktok (this time)

been seeing a lot of stitches of this with woc absolutely shredding taylor and the shit she’s pulled in the name of feminism and it’s so refreshing

Random worldbuilding from the book I'll probably never write: The Empire's custom of praising one's enemies.

People of the Empire have no concept of modesty nor humility - the only true virtues are power, cunning and strength, being humble is for slaves. Northfolk often take them for honourless braggarts, and are often baffled when a citizen of the Empire breaks into praise once defeated. It seems odd to them that someone who was just bested by the fraction of a hair breaks into astonished, overflowing praises of "how strong he is to have defeated me!" or "how clever and brilliant she was to have bested me!"

Some will take this sudden turn as an expression of good sportsmanship, a sudden rare spark of genuine humility. This is false. Someone with less respect might take it for cowardice, an attempt to flatter the stronger foe in hopes of being spared. This is even further from the truth. Someone with more understanding of the Empire's culture and their sense of honour might mistake it for self-flagellation - a self-inflicted punishment for the shame and dishonour of being defeated. This is wrong as well.

As the thing is, the Empire's people do not find it shameful to be defeated by a better enemy - and if you were defeated by someone lowly, that only means that you are even lower than they are. And in praising the one who defeated them, they are still boasting. By announcing that the enemy who rose victorious by being stronger or more clever is astonishingly strong or clever, one is above all else still indirectly highlighting their own greatness. Loudly announcing that the victor was inhuman in their power and brilliance, being defeated by them is only understandable, even honourable.

By announcing that someone could only have bested you by being the most clever, brilliant, strong or powerful warrior, tactician or merchant alive, one is still proclaiming to be the second best there ever was. Which is still a pretty damn good status to have.
