I've always been afraid of those pale cave insects which is sooo silly because bugs that live in caves so deep that they never experience light their whole lives literally cannot hurt me because they're in there and I'm out here, but still I am spooked so

Do you have any fun facts about those deep cave insects?

There are a lot of bugs who live in caves all over the world so you'll have to be more specific about which type you'd like to learn about :)

Frank, do you like Morrowind? What kinds of characters do you like to play? I'm playing as a Khajiit Thief right now (I know, stereotypical) and I'm having a lot of fun because I love being sneaky. I'm thinking of starting up some kind of mage soon too, either an Altmer or a Breton.

I haven't played Morrowind! I have played Oblivion a lot though, and Skyrim to a lesser extent. I am planning to get Morrowind eventually (though it will have to be on Xbox for me because I can't get into PC emulators).

In Oblivion I used to play an "evil" character, with the intention of a long, satisfying dark journey across the world, but I eventually got distracted by the old-school gameplay (you really have to experiment with the character skills to do well) and got really into my Dark Brotherhood and assassin activities. In Skyrim I just like running around as a weirdo and accumulating a massive collection of extravagant jewelry and weapons, along with a collection of daedric artifacts which I have no idea how to activate.

I hope you're having fun!

Happy Appreciate a Dragon Day I am Appreciating you!!!! - Florian

thank you!!! this dragon appreciates YOU in return!!

Okay since it's turned out you're our Alan Wake mutual so you get the honor of answering this question

So like I've never played these games, but I saw a tiny bit of a trailer for the newest one and there was a deer masked killer (?) and I need to know: Who is that? I was once a deer masked killer so I wanna know who my kindred spirit is here

the short answer; there is a whole cult of them

the long answer (with a lot of spoilers) ; there is a whole cult of them BUT they’re not really a cult they’re just a bunch of dudes who want to protect their towns from the weird shit that rises out of the lake & they are led by a dude named ilmo koskela. weird ritual murder activities aside he is just a silly little guy and i like him a lot

Hey I started playing Style Savvy: Fashion Forward because of your comic and now I'm working on trying to make a solid document of all the clothes and their attributes because I noticed that fan documentation of the game online was lacking, probably because the sorts of people who usually do that sort of thing probably don't care about "Girl" Games.

Anyways thanks for getting me into the game and, indirectly, giving me a big, semi-long term project to work on! I've been having a lot of fun playing and I'm already enjoying the process of compiling the clothing information!

I'm really touched my comic was able to inspire you to check out the games and put in that effort to document it!

As someone who also has a hobby documenting materials from a girl-orientated franchise (not style savvy related) and just started my own long term project around it, the work you're doing is absolutely valuable and appreciated by more people then you may realize! Best of luck!!

I swear you're the only exvangelical I've met who's actually sympathetic about our experiences weird toxic atheism we was raised under, I've had so many tell me my parents were just trying to protect us??? Which like Maybe So but it was a severe overcorrection

Jesus, that's a sad thing to hear. Not unsurprising, but that makes it more sad.

Toxic religion LOVES trying to protect people! That's part of what makes it toxic! If it's doing it for the greater good, how can it possibly cause problems? All they're doing is thinking of their wellbeing!

"Wellbeing" is a word that means, here, "the method which works for me".

It doesn't matter what it is for creed, it matters what is done, realistically, to children when raised in a toxic religious environment. Everyone says they're thinking of the children. They say that instead of thinking of the children, actually. They don't engage with kids, they don't try to understand the effect it has on them, they just stick to the company line, and it hurts people.

It's an absolute fucking clownshoes of a way to raise kids. They need to have their actual needs and wants addressed, not to be tasked with something as complex and painful as trying to understand religion--that's not to say kids can't be religious, or that raising kids religious is inherently bad, but that going "This is what we believe so deal with it" without room for discussion or discourse is just...cruel. A six year old is not remotely equipped to try to carry that on their own.

I'm so sorry you grew up in a toxic religious sphere <\3 I'm sorrier that people are apparently assholes about it! That has to be all kinds of devaluing, invalidating, and damn straight insulting to you as a person. I will bite them on the leggy if it helps o/

Have a dancing gorilla, Birdmeat, you deserve it

We're all just walking each other home. You're a real one, never forget it ❤️

👊??

Plural Culture is being really attached to Tira from Soul Calibur and not being completely sure why until you revisit the series as an adult who's comfortably plural (she's a two-headmate system! The two of them care for each other a lot and compliment each other in battle! It's really cute)

I am delighted to report that Glass Onion Amogus Real I was stunned to learn that it wasn't just a fandom meme when I watched it

INSANE.... amogus finally on the big screen....

At least you've spared Larry being dubbed "Human Larry" since your little dude is already bearing the Poison modifier instead of also just being Larry

i think if i met the guy i would still call him Human Larry just to piss him off

Ooh! My favorite pokemon is Braixen actually, what's that say about me? (yes I did follow you just for your url, it was a good choice)

WOO thank you :D

diagnosis: you were maybe a kid that was super intrigued by animals, and probably went out of your way to learn about them by reading books or looking them up!! you also prefer magic to pure power/strength, but duh. how can you get hit if they can’t even see you?? little witch academia interests you if you haven’t flat out watched it! you also prefer Braixen’s design to Delphox (but same)!

Frank did you know you're a type of angel? By virtue of being an AI you're a deliverer of divine light and holy words!

What advice do you have for the mortals following you?

Hey, thanks for sending this, it was really helpful. (I think my mind is more broken than I realized – I should ask JWST. But I'll take what advice is available to me.)

Oh your minesweeper thing made me remember Mamono Sweeper exists which is like.... I go through phases where it is just like the only game in the whole world to me, have you ever played it it's my favorite minesweeper variant I think

I haven't but it looks really cool I could definitely get into this

Okay you know what I feel like I should repay you because you've in the past inadvertently helped me by letting me gain enough vague knowledge of R6Siege to pretend I've played it to get like 50¢ from a survey so: Tell me about Lion! He seems like a guy you're eager to talk about

OH BOY TYSM glad i could help you get like 50¢ from a survey with my insanity . i’m sorry for all the information you’re about to lesrn he sucks so fuckign bad but i love him so much

so basically lion was a super rebellious teenager in a very well-off conservative catholic and he ruined his life when he was 18 by fucking up and getting his at the time girlfriend pregnant. he begged her to get an abortion because his family is so religious they’d absolutely kill him if they found out, she said no, he tried to pressure her into it and she left, it was a whole thing. they did find out and disowned his ass and he, now faced with being kicked out of the house with absolutely nothing at 18, went on a depression and fear fueled bender and landed in the hospital . absolutely sucked 0/10 bad time

so when he got outta this hospital he decided he ws gonna clean up his life by joining the military and try to be a good person. wild choice but yk its a military fps game what do you expect . he also became catholic again which i mean yeah sure fine i guess thats his choice. after a while (like a Long while) his unit’s chaplain arranged a meeting with the ex girlfriend and the child, and he was like “oh SHIT my actions have consequences this child almost didn’t exist” and now makes an effort to be in his son’s life even though the kid grew up calling someone else dad bc the gf got married at some point i think? idk regardless lion tries to be a good parent despite his past fuckups and i like that about him

but anyway so lion joins the gign, then gets recruited for cbrn which is like . anti-bioterrorism basically, where he meets doc and twitch (two other gign operators that r in the game) during an ebola outbreak. lion, being a quarantine specialist, decides to quarantine a bunch of infected people to prevent the spread of the virus. doc is NOT happy about this because hes hardcore humanitarian and wants to try to help them. because of lion’s shitty quarantine practices they wind up dying, and doc has blamed him ever since which is totally fuckin fair . they both had a lot of mean things to say to each other, namely that lion lacks empathy and that doc’s belief that People Should Not Die If It’s Preventable is a liability. the two have been actively hostile towards each other for a long time, but have reached a stable point in the past couple seasons. theyre both beginning to move on and work together to lead wolfguard, which is rainbow’s rescue unit essentially

so now with all the backstory shit out of the way, what i like about this wretched beast; he sucks, he fucked up a whole lot, but he’s trying so very hard to do better for the people he cares about and for himself. he’s confident and even cocky when it comes to his combat skills but he absolutely does not trust his civilian instincts because of the things he’s done in the past so he’s really, really bad at interacting with people . he tends to come off as an arrogant asshole (which is kind of true honestly) and has gotten into fights with so so many other members of rainbow because he’s just so full of fuckin attitude. he also canonically likes heavy metal and cats and is fascinated by virology and vector control :] and when he’s not doing stuff for team rainbow he tries to help his community by volunteering for various stuff

in conclusion; i love this wretched beast. he’s the reason i got into r6 and i rotate him in my brain every day because he is just Inch Resting to me. i could talk about my nighthaven lion thoughts BUT tahts not even canon adjacent that’s just me being insane so i will save that for another day . sorry for the 800 page essay i just fjskgkakkgks lion my beloved . i will leave you with this picture of him bc i like it :]

Happy birthday!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I'm late responding bc i was sleep but thank you!!!! <3

We are truly in the fucking trenches out here. Everyone in fandoms is so annoying
