Well, it's stopped and the sun is shining and there's blue sky, but there's also big black clouds that look like they are about to open up any moment now.
But the hail storm was so heavy that it's turned the roofs on the houses outside my flat white.
It's just that I am really fucking pissed off with one of my team mates for this biology presentation, and that there is nothing I can do to make me not pissed off at her.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
People complain about the "she's a 700-year-old vampire but she's in the body of a 10-year-old" trope saying it's creepy
So, uh
What makes my roleplay persona's "I'm a 317-year-old alien but I can change my physical form to look like any age" thing meaningfully different so as not to be creepy?
Maybe people would spend less time accusing atheism of being a religion if nu-atheists didn't habitually put political ideologies and philosophical stances in the "religion" pile whenever they want to cheaply dunk them.

Another political thing Little Alice didn't understand: government debt.
Like, the government makes the laws, right? So just make a law that says the government doesn't actually have to pay back its creditors. Problem solved!

I guess I just worry because I find it really hard to separate myself, even in the Princess persona, from my sex drive, if that makes sense. Which I'm not sure it does, now that I typed it.

that's called defaulting, and is generally really bad because it destroys pretty much all trust.
Well, it's not just what Aliroz said, although, with your fantasy, it's not *about* your sex drive. That's not something you can just will away, but like, you wouldn't want to, no? But that's not the focus of the fantasy.
(Furthermore, your fantasy primarily exists for your personal entertainment, so like, it doesn't really seem like it's up for critique.)
But the cliché you referenced catches flak *because it's a cliché*, and furthermore one that's kind of unsettling because it appears to persist for the enjoyment of people who fetishize children.
Even so, as a 'trope', i'd say it can be deployed badly or well. It could be used effectively to create a sense of horror, for instance, or in the hands of an especially skilled writer it could be used more psychologically to create an interesting character arc. That's generally not what people are complaining about, though.
It's funny because someone said something intentionally ignorant, then acted smug when people corrected them!
As to this, i admit i find it pretty funny, sorry.
What makes it funny is the person literally claimed to be trolling in that exact tweet and people still took the bait. That and, like, it doesn't seem that big of a deal to me? 'Atheism is a religion' is not an offensive statement, merely a factually inaccurate one.

Little Alice's response would have been: "You don't need trust! You just make a law that says certain groups are required to 'lend' the government money and the government is not required to pay them back. Then you throw anyone who tries to fight against this in jail."
Little Alice thought authoritarianism was the solution to all social problems.

...yeah, that makes sense.
I feel like I should have more to say but I can't really think of anything.

isn't that just taxation tho
Well, I mean when you put it that way, yeah, but Little Alice didn't really think these things through.
I confess I don't understand the realities of production well enough to understand why a decent pair of khakis costs twice as much as some digital doohickey
and I remember redwall being more, eh, medieval, than the latter books

not only that, the trust i was thinking of in part included, you know, other countries
She was a magical princess who had to rescue me from Caliborn, who'd captured me for some reason involving the fourth wall and my obsession with Homestuck, and he was leaving both of us these little notes and somehow I had to send Centie the translations so she could find me.
And I wish I remembered more of it because it was a cool dream.

That. Is. Awesome.
Really, my Princess-self should go on rescue missions more often. What good is having the most powerful magic in Centralia if I'm not saving people with it?
Comments
say FUCK YOU WEATHER
same
I wouldn't want my view to be a punchline, either.

You use it to recapture the free-spirited-rambunctiousness of childhood.
You use it to design cities and set up hilarious dialogues (with the Payne family playing the straight man).
A power fantasy, not a... other fantasy.
