offensive take




how to play

I pity a hero who upholds a status quo that must change. No matter how noble and well-meaning, they remain a tool for whatever masters pull the strings of their society.

[Chaos god bias at work, no doubt.]

Change is natural, and no status quo can hold indefinitely. The center cannot hold, as the Old Earth poets say.

The issue is, of course, that not all change is good, but fighting it in either case is fighting against the inevitable. There is a kind of tragic heroism in futility.

I think we're roughly in agreement here, to the shock of no one who knows us. You can choose to fight against change and lose; I suppose that's a kind of nobility if you really believe in it.

And it's certainly true that people will be hurt in the process of tearing everything down, but if people are already being hurt, who are you really saving by shoring up something that's already half broken? Maybe mere anarchy should be loosed upon the world.

...that wasn't directed at you, you know. Not specifically. But I can't pretend it doesn't pertain to you, too.

Maybe I always see lies around me. Whether they're real or not. I don't trust anyone in charge.

I simply do not care for coffee. While it can be moderately pleasant when prepared exceptionally well, at least poorly brewed tea still resembles water and not mud after it has been prepared.

[ He pauses, feeling as though he should qualify his statement. ]

That all being said, it would be deceitful of me if I did not say that I enjoy the smell.

[The gasp she lets out is quite funny, to be honest. It's the most sound she's made- well.. apart from other things, anyway. She squints at Ferdinand in disbelief, Sae whipping out her phone and quickly typing up a storm:] COFFEE IS GREAT THOUGH. If you add some cream and sugar, it makes it even more tasty!
nobiliteatime: (♜ this is as far as i go)

[personal profile] nobiliteatime 2024-03-08 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah... I do not mean to cause offense, and I certainly do not think a drink should not be altered with cream or sugar. But by the time I have made coffee palatable to my tastes, it is less coffee and more a vaguely coffee-flavored milkshake.

[ He sounds almost sheepish at that. As it turns out, as good as he is at enjoying all kinds of tea including literal pine needles, coffee is where he draws the line. ]

H-how do you feel about potatoes?

[personal profile] nobiliteatime 2024-03-09 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
Now, that is an unexpected question. But now that I am thinking about it, potatoes are rather versatile. You can simply bake them or roast them, or you can slice them and fry them, or really, do just about anything with them. Perhaps they go underappreciated.

I kind of feel like the Valar are either malicious in their intentions or simply so incompetent as to make little difference in the matter.

[Yes. Yes he is still kind of angry about them letting Morgoth out in the first place... and then just letting him run away without any pursuit from the Valar themselves. Whose fault this all is!]

Also, fuck you Námo! For knowing my grandfather had died but just stayed silent about it in hopes of getting my father to agree with your demands. I did not appreciate having to be the one to break the news to him.

Humans setting out to kill all a group of supernaturals, as in, all werewolves, all vampires, or "all whatevers", are genocidal and part of the problem.

Yes, even all zombies. Day of the Dead was a great movie. Watch it.
