Kind of a Reddit AITA post but sometimes it is a little funny to fuck with people in ways that deliberately conform to a stereotype of what they must think of you. the other day I was talking to my friend and I randomly said that I wanted a pet chimpanzee. I'd dress it in person clothes (dungarees and hats) and I'd teach it to love science fiction. And this girl nearby was like "you know how dangerous those things are, right? Also how unethical it is to keep an ape as your pet for your own amusement" and I was already seeing where the conversation was going so I was pretending ignorance like "yea but it wouldn't just be for my amusement. It would have practical points too." And she ignored that statement entirely to say "Well chimpanzees can rip faces off" and I was like. What's the most frustrating thing I can say now. Finally settled on "Mine wouldn't do that though." and you could tell she wanted to hurt me very very badly. Like a chimpanzee would if I had one as a pet
oh boy i start my job as a wound man tomorrow can't wait to be stabbed, sliced, slashed, lacerated, eviscerated, bludgeoned, cudgeled, beaten with rods, beaten with irons, shot with arrows, shot with cannons, have spears thrown into me, have spears thrown through me, impaled on spikes, flayed, flensed, boiled, shot with arrows again, and have rocks dropped on my head
aaand the oathbreaker police have appeared within less than an hour to let me know that we need to have a talk about the definition of "oath of devotion"
great news all I just made a Lancelot in Baldur's Gate 3 and he rolled a critical fail on his very first intelligence check. then he ripped out a man's brain.
I also gave him the Dark Urge background (obviously) so he spontaneously has ambient dialogue like:
fantasies about cutting off a stranger's arm turned into realities and was called "rabid, pained, and sick," to which I replied "overwhelming violent desires fester in my skull"
which I actually think is all canonical to the vulgate cycle
