My character just had a yelling at by COMMANDER SAMUEL VIMES!

Best thing ever!

Didn't have the camera on me of course, but I just had one of these 'Yep, I live out in the country'-moments.

Went out for a cigarette. Four ravens are circling above my house. On my steps is the neighbor's cat, sprawled out. On a couple of steps higher is my grumpy long-haired cat sitting curled up growling at the neighbor cat.

It was a surreal and amazing coincident and for a moment I felt like a disney princess, just a really bad one with a cig in my mouth and telling the cats not to be idiots and to watch the damn ravens instead of growling at each other.

We might've diverged from the topic slightly but it's still within the ballpark. Other things that make me super irritated are:

• Posts about 'We that grew up in the 50s, 60s, 70s always played outside, our moms smoked, we sat in cars without seatbelts and we still survived! etc etc' - they are so fucking MORONIC. STUPID. Yeah, cause this is part of the 'things were better in the past'-BULLSHIT. AHHH it enfuriates me to no end. Also it feels like more age-ism. Let's punch the 'weak kids of today'-asshattery.

• Blonde-jokes. Just... don't. Just stop. They're not funny. They were never funny. They're misogynistic and inane.

• I'm sure there's similar examples all over the world, but here's the Swedish one: 'You know you're from the NORTH if you eat icecream in the winter, and the closest neighbor is a twenty minute drive away! etc etc' First of all, you fucking idiots, the 'north' is HUGE. More than half the country. There's as many dialects and various differences here as ANYFUCKINGWHERE. Stop stereotyping. THe worst is the people FROM the north that posts shit like that.

Edited cause I can't read...

@wretched Just watched the trailer and I think I hated everything about it. And I had such high hopes.

@nyctophiliac This is an hilarious story. This is the sort of story your kids will tell when they grow up about their mom sorting a serious problem by breaking a window.

Pretty badass

Raymesin is the best. waves hi from Evaristo

Lamps.

Got five new window lamps for my house. Slowly but inevitably my old ugly-ass lamps had stopped working or were just so ugly I hated them. Now I got five identical nice lamps in the windows and THERE IS LIGHT.

Sometimes it's the small things.

I Am Here is starting up the USA chapter/group, if anyone is interested.
I am on I Am Here Sweden (where this all started). I am not super active, but I go in and like posts, sometimes comments. Activity is as much as one has the energy for.

So, what is I Am Here? It's basically about trying to counteract hate on various social platforms. Here is the website. https://iamhereinternational.com/

Hey there. Just wanted to throw out that if anyone's interested in trying out the game, I've got two (current) NPCs in a PrP I'm running, that could be made easily into PCs. http://darkwater.wikidot.com/log:2018-03-31-prp:port-angeles-blues-worker-men for a glimpse into one of them - a policeman who was taken. the other is also a police NPC, a woman. I don't staff on DW so I can't say exactly what sort of role such a PC could get if they wanted to rejoin the police force ICly - but anyone playing would have an instant in with the Bureau PCs, all whom are awesome. (The Bureau is a secret agency investigating the supernatural). The concept is not so set that it doesn't allow for pretty much anything you'd like to play, changeling wise. Heck, it could even be a Faetouched as of now.

I play Audgrim and Eric on DW - if you want to check it out, just give me a hollar in game or on here via chat message.
The quality of the players and RP is the best I've had ever, so come check us out either or!

Can you set up a gofundme? (I'll definitely try it via paypal, never used that, but a gofundme is super easy.)

@geeklure Those are freaking amazing!

A bit more general info - there's a rather heavy European influence, in the manner of players, right now. I'm European, Jinshei is, the expert on Discworld lore is European. So, Discord chat might be a bit quiet during US evenings - we're ASLEEP. Well, some are, I should be asleep but I'm not and I'm being stupid and going to bed soon.

Going to reread the Guards books now. Assuming the setting will be Ankh-Morpork?

@PuppyBreath Gah, I apparently had a paypal account but can't reactivate it (I think I used an email I don't remember any longer) and the venmo doesn't work from my country due to the telephone number? I donno why, but can't get it to work. I don't want to put MORE strain on you, but I do want to give something. ARe gofundmes a pain to set up?

@JinShei Oh right, it's statting BOOK characters... I think I should reread the books first or I'd probably not be of much help I'll dig out Guards, Guards! today and start reading.

@PuppyBreath Thanks, sent some over via the gofundme. Good luck with everything!

@Auspice That'd just be to get the scene started, once people get to posing it usually rolls onward. You can introduce the 3pr after the initial set from everyone.
