If you're not trying to romance the Pokemon, what's the fucking point?

Can't help but read 'woah' as a regular 'wuh', but 'whoa' as a deep, masculine 'HOO-AH!'

That's patently untrue. I planted some potassium the other day, and no matter how much I watered it, all I got was explosions.

Bio

According to the IRC, I'm a low-grade troll. They're probably not wrong.

Give me a while, guys, it's going to take me a little time to read through all these posts and memes.
One idea might be to use the more 'conventional' terms for spirits as the label for those which can interact with the physical world, as they're the ones more likely to have inspired humans to figure out specific names for them. Ghost, wraith, spook, spirit, angel, fairy, sylph and so on.

Other terms that are less specific would be used for non-interactive spirits because people care about them less. Wisps, shades, flickers, apparitions, tricks of the light, or even more vague terms that don't really acknowledge the independence of the spirit, like referring to non-interactive spiritual activity as omens or 'bad luck/magic'.
@Antarctic Termite, I think I should get around to having Teknall respond to Jvan's request in my next post (I can save the invention of fire until afterwards. Then after that I can make Gerrik a Hero. Then I can make Tetra). Do you want to make a collab of it?


If you like, sure; PM me the link when you're ready.
Why is Math a portfolio, even? What can you even do with such a portfolio? Decide whether 2+2 equals 5 or something?


Yes, exactly. That's what makes it so fucking broken

ahem nope I'm mostly going to use it to influence the growth of civilisation and amplify my flesh-related powers when they're used on a large scale. Optimised usage of space and such.
OR do you just want to say "fuck diplomacy" and race to see who gets it first?


the temptation is incredible

Nah, PM me whenever you can and we'll see what happens! I look forward to it.

Not sure how maths, of all things, suddenly became a competed portfolio, but there we go, life is weird and writing is batshit crazy.

Guys. Guys c'mon. We're not supposed to discuss 1x1.


Please stop kinkshaming me.
If you're not willing to entertain the possibility of retconning your godmodding out completely, instead only willing to make it 'milder and more mutually interactive', then there's no point in reasoning anything out. This curse is just something that so thoroughly disinterests me, and only has the potential to be an obstacle, not anything interesting. I'll just take it as it comes. He's stuck with Lifprasil now anyway.


I'm willing to do that. As you know, it's far from the first time that I've dumped chunks of writing at the drop of a hat so that this story makes sense- It's already happened with Toun and Teknall. I've already have the satisfaction of writing the thing; If it's no fun to read or respond to, there's no point in keeping it.

The only thing that makes me reluctant to do that is that it sends a wedge through my character's ability to interact with yours and keep making some pass at sense. My character is already full of contradictory actions and threats that quickly turned idle. If she ignores Allure and his very real threat, then all it does is add her previous interactions concerning Slough to that embarrassing list. This won't bother you too much, since you're probably tired of my bitching by now; I'll just regret allowing my mistakes to have screwed over my chances to play an actually protective character.

So I'll snip out that section, own up to the consequences and say Cheerio, deer-buddy and loincloth-dude, you guys are free to do as you like now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Had you asked to follow that part of the collab? I actually don't remember it. Next time just say something; even if you're not actively participating in a collab, if it pertains to you I for one would be willing to share the link just so you can be aware of what's going on.


Yep! I only sent one ping, though, so no worries. I should start taking more initiative about this kind of stuff anyway.

Oh, and about that fair warning rule...the Jvanic Order is about to have three more problems. Three more things trying to kill them. But Zeph will have had no part in it!


GOOD

NOBODY LIKES THOSE NEO-SPIRITUALIST HOBOS LEECHING OFF THE REST OF SOCIETY

GET A FUCKING JOB, SCULPTORS

...I'm strongly considering doing exactly that by turning Sculptors into Galbar's resident nomadic trade race, collecting all the very strangest things from one region for their art and then swapping them for other rarities elsewhere. That fills another fun fantasy trope. A mysterious, near-mute creature that arrives on the outskirts of your village with a gourd full of spices, seeds and precious stones, a faery flickering behind their ears, trading their wares for oddities rather than money using exchange rates only they know.
Why is a video of hydrogen carbonate, carbonate, and hydronium ions unwatchable on Youtube?

It's just a buffer.
