I haven't played the game, but I hope you post more pictures of Chrono characters once you make them. Your Schala is pretty neat.

« on: July 15, 2013, 11:08:52 pm »I've been thinking for a while that after i get a new computer, if like to do some video editing. Specifically I'd like to make a version of Game of Thrones that is somewhat family friendly, or at least, one that implies more than it shows. The gore is too much for my girlfriend to enjoy and some events in the show would definitely trigger some people so i think I'd be a worthwhile challenge to try not to change the plot too much so everyone can enjoy the story without all the sticky stuff. Would you guys be interested, like would you wasn't me to send you guys links to the first episode if i ever get to it?
As someone who has avoided the series because of the sticky stuff, I would greatly appreciate this.
I think this is a great idea. The show seems interesting but I've avoided it because friends told me it would be triggering. No pressure though, this sounds like quite the daunting task!

My knowledge of Game of Thrones is pathetic at best, but I know enough to know that being compared in any way to the badass dragon lady is truly awesome.
Also, have you guys seen the fanart of GoT characters in 90s fashion? There's one of Daenerys and she's holding three ferrets instead of three dragons. =D I'll try to dig it up and post it later today; it is truly epic.

There are shelters for domestic abuse victims here in America, which sounds similar to NGOs. They provide shelter and safety from the abuser and offer legal services. D (who is also a friend of hers) and I have looked for ones in her area and I really hope she takes advantage of those resources. But I can't make any decisions for her (especially since I'm hundreds of miles away), I can only be there to listen and try to help her through this as best I can, when I can.

Alright so I just want to say how much I love this picture:
There was an inside joke floating around for a while comparing me to the white-haired lady from Game of Thrones (which I haven't seen, so I suppose it makes it more amusing) and that I was "Queen of Ferrets" instead of Queen of Dragons, so my brother's girlfriend drew this for me. It is of me and Draco, who is a ferret-dragon and has wings. I adore everything about this picture.

"Almost always."
Yes, you're right. Not always. I don't want to go into detail about why her contacting the authorities before having a safe place to stay is a bad idea, because that would be disrespecting her privacy.
Edit: Ahhh, that's not to say one shouldn't contact the police in cases of domestic abuse, that is obviously the most logical solution in most cases and is the easiest way to get help. I'm just saying that in this specific situation it's not a good idea, but I can't go into more detail than that. If I knew the police would help I would have called them already.

I would wager that she'd be considered poor by American standards. The reason she needs to escape is that the person she's living with is abusive.

I want to respect her privacy as much as possible, but suffice to say she's in a very precarious living situation at the moment and does not have the means to escape. Why does it sound familiar?

A very close friend is in a terrible, terrible situation and I hate that I can't do more to help her. She lives hundreds of miles away and I've sent her money to help her escape her current situation, but that's all the money I can give. And all that I can do other than that is be there for her as best I can. I would offer her to come stay with me for the rest of the summer but this place has become dangerous and I won't see any of my friends needlessly put in harm's way. It is so frustrating that she is hurting and that I cannot do more.

I haven't burst out laughing at Chrono fanart in ages. Thank you Captain B.

A few months ago my mother couldn't remember the word for "Dalek" and called them the "Dollop Things" and it was beautiful.

I don't hate you. I never said I did. I see you as neither a friend nor an enemy. You're a random person whom I do not know and that's the entire extent of it and that's how it will remain. Please don't refer to me with terms of affection like "honey"; I find that unnerving and creepy from strangers and it is triggering.

Nah man, your words became hurtful when I threw up because of violent flashbacks early this morning. You intended to be helpful but what you said involuntarily riled up my PTSD* and reminded me of some terrible shit my abusers have said to me.
Why do my words trouble you so much if they carry no weight and if they are completely wrong?
Maybe because Bekkler is my friend and he's mad that something you said hurt his friend?
* Technically C-PTSD but not a lot of people know what that is, but since I'm a persnickety bitch I have to include this addendum even if no one cares.

My favourite Bad Romance parody is one about the French Revolution a friend linked me to ages ago. Absolute brilliance.
