how big your bird?

@Kyuki *pats your shoulder* I'd snap too if I were you. Don't worry. The Guild's always got your back. ^___^
Don't have any experience with in-laws, but bitchy narcissistic relatives are a tick. 27 years ago my aunt made my mum cry by telling her she'd only got pregnant to get their dad's attention. Her main hobby to this day is guilt tripping and manipulating my Nan (the only family member who can't see through her bullshit) into giving her money, eating food she hates, and just generally making her miserable but having her turn it on the rest of her family and friends so she becomes more isolated from everyone else. Oh yeah, she also banned my Mum from visiting Nan in hospital, but my Nan doesn't know this and just thinks she's the perfect daughter.
Anyway, I've watched my Dad get angry at her and vent to me about it. I've watched my Mum get stressed out over it and the toll that's taken on their marriage. Neither of those approaches seem to work. I only really got around to dealing with it when I realized how fucking pathetic you have to be to have nothing better to do with your life than hate your own family. You've got to see how much bigger and better a person you are by just trying to live your life well, while they have to tear down and compete to feel good about themselves. Try to forgive, and even pity them, because they should matter that little to you.
Playing both of those videos at the same time and just looping the last one whenever it ended turned out to be excruciatingly fitting.
As someone who lives in the Bible Belt... The Harry Potter fear was real, but I think it's less real now. I haven't heard anyone complain about that in a long time.
...And I've actually played at D&D tables full of devout Christians sans myself as the token agnostic.

Oh better yet, why not try? I can see maybe not giving a shit if you're just IMing a friend, but when you're representing an organization, the least you can do is do a search on the word you're thinking of trying to spell and have Google correct you.
