    Actually I hate that video too

    because now as soon as someone makes an arrow joke somebody else will post it

    You're all fuckin viral scumbags just make your own damn jokes

    THEY LET IT HAPPEN

    THEY SHOULD'VE PROGRAMMED THE GAME SO TIGHTLY THAT NO DUMB VIRAL JOKES COULD SLIP THROUGH

    I'm actually a complete hypocrite because I still love those STOP YOU VIOLATED THE LAW jokes.

    Polyamory

    I feel like this thread wanted to talk about polyamory versus... mono-amory? I guess that'd be the term. Because first off, it seems like Misty was headed that way to begin with, saying right off that most of us wouldn't have experience with marriage or marrying multiple partners. That and a lot of people are responding explicitly to the -gamy bit, that is, marrying multiple partners. And that has a nasty stigma behind it, cultivated from some unsavory characters with haywire moral compasses. This whole paragraph is pretty much a long-winded justification of my going slightly off-topic with this post and talking about polyamory instead here we goooo

    I think asking whether polyamory works as a concept is kind of taking a lot of things about love for granted. We like to believe we can color love however we please, define it and trap it in these little manageable spaces where everyone can observe and understand it. What I've experienced of love tells me that it is a transitory emotion of the highest order, even in its most powerful forms; what's more, it is one of the most fickle and hardest to nail down. In my mind there is no question of whether polyamory can work, because sometimes nothing else will do. Sometimes you just love two or more people at once. Incorporating both of them into your life can strain your feelings, to be sure, but trying to exclude one or the other can have the same effect.

    It also depends on where your boundaries lie for a partnership. For some people, it can be surprisingly mechanical; the choice to live with someone, or to take them into consideration when deciding where to buy a house or whether they want to move elsewhere. For others, it is a natural and purely emotional extension of growing closer to someone, a compulsory "upgrade" of sorts that happens between two people who feel strongly for each other. Those two people may see polyamory in totally different lights; you'll be hard-pressed to make the same argument (for or against) convincing to both of them.

    As far as extending these practices to marriage, well... Marriage does not always have to be about love. I used to say that with a note of disdain in my voice, but marriage has never really been about love. In times past it was used as a diplomatic gesture, as in mingling royals or influential families; these days, a lot of people just do it for the legal benefits. It's possible to marry for love, but it's kind of redundant. If you're already in love, what does it prove? Why do you have to chain somebody to your wrist to be "officially" in love? Do people just think so lowly of themselves that they figure the only way they won't die alone is if they drag somebody along with them wherever they go?

    Welp, this post exceeded even the generous allowance of rambling I had allotted for it. Time to shut my mouth :x

    Of all the languages to pick

    English???? wat

    English is pretty much only better than other languages for expressing anger

    Also for being a snarky hipster fuckwad but jury's out on whether that's something to be proud of

    OH YOU WOULD WOULD YOU

    CAN YOU GUESS MINE :3

    Implying said constructs aren't dated by a couple centuries and otherwise grossly inadequate to describe even a single person's range of emotional expression

    Implying we haven't been pigeonholing ourselves into these restrictive roles out of ignorance for decades, vindicated by equally restrictive language

    I actually can't figure out why people like Skyrim, like

    I've tried it at length and it's just so dull

    I guess it has served as an entry point for a lot of people into medieval fantasy and action RPGs but like it's just so subpar in its field and there are so many games that do everything it does but better

    including earlier Elder Scrolls games

    How embarrassing is that

    Bro, you're missing the point. I know very well how it went down, but all you're doing is regurgitating what the game provided, and there are inconsistencies with that. Think about the implications. Why didn't anybody else get new duds when they dove in? What was the point of dressing them up in the first place? How did no one else get trapped in TWtNW if they went into the dream world to follow Sora and Riku? And if they went there in person, how did they retrieve the two at all? Can a person effectively be in two places at once using a dream dive? One way or another, it raises some questions.

    I would imagine they would just stick around and keep bein' Dream Eaters. They might be homeless at that point, but... well, think of them the way you would of the Heartless: If every world is locked up tight and darkness-free, they don't just transmigrate into another form.

    ...Or do they

    He dove back into the Dream World to see them off and thank them for their help. I also choose to interpret it as a set-up for the postgame, but that's more subjective.

    So how did they find out? Why couldn't one or both of the kids have just dipped out when they saw trouble brewin'? If they were only there in their dreams, how were they trapped?

    Broken record shirt <3

    You had to be there. You know where. Where it's at. What's it? It is in. Everybody's doing it. At that place where you've got to be. You gotta be there while it's in so you can do it where it is while it's there before it's out. So go to it and do to it.
