Gentlemen. This is what rape culture is like:
Imagine you have a Rolex watch. Nice fancy Rolex, you bought it because you like the way it looks and you wanted to treat yourself. And then you get beaten and mugged and your Rolex is stolen. So you go to the police. Only, instead of investigating the crime, the police want to know why you were wearing a Rolex instead of a regular watch. Have you ever given a Rolex to anyone else? Is it possible you wanted to be mugged? Why didn’t you wear long sleeves to cover up the Rolex if you didn’t want to be mugged?
And then after that, everywhere you go, there are constant jokes about stealing your Rolex. People you don’t even know whistle at your Rolex and make jokes about cutting your hand off to get it. The media doesn’t help either; it portrays people who wear Rolexes as flamboyant assholes who secretly just want someone to come along and take that Rolex off their hands. When damn, all you wanted was to wear a nice watch without getting harassed for it. When you complain that you are starting to feel unsafe, people laugh you off and say that you are too uptight. Never mind you got violently attacked for the crime of wearing a friggin time piece.
Imagining all that? It sucks, doesn’t it.
Now imagine you could never take the Rolex off.

Gaming Charters and Social Contracts in Detail | Gnome Stew - The Game Mastering Blog
I didn’t realize how important social contracts are until I gamed with one- these are not hard and fast rules, but if everybody agrees on things ahead of time, it makes gaming a lot more smooth.

(via Goodreads | Sammy Loves Books (Charlotte, NC)’s review of Dead Ever After)
This accurately sums up my feelings on this book series. The linked review is full of spoilers, but hilarious if you’ve read the book or don’t intend to.

Fiddling with css and junk today to get the blockquote font size down- I don’t remember it being so huge. I also changed the left border to white so’s you can see it now!
The problem is that I taught myself html something like 7+ years ago so I have a very rusty, cobbled knowledge of it and css is not html.
Any compliments/complaints on the appearance of the blog? I’m happy with the theme for the most part, but if the text is too big/small/wrong font I will work on it.

Dean (UE) just posted some Doctor Who paper dolls on Etsy in time for The Name of the Doctor! You can purchase the downloadable digital file here at the shop and print them out tonight!
To make your very own paper doll, it’s highly suggested to use the following:
- Heavy weight cardstock of at least 100 lbs
- For the holes, use a thumbtack or a needle to pierce both joints at once (you can also use a small gauge hole punch).
- Brads of many colors can be purchased at almost any craft supply store such as Jo-Anne’s or Michaels Crafts.
- Cas
Hey guys, check out my paper dolls! The Weeping Angel has two faces, an angry face and a peaceful face, I’m super proud of her. I’m thinking I might do some Supernatural dolls in the future if I have the time!
I love these! And Supernatural dolls?!?!?! YES!!! I can have my very own Cas on my shoulder and Dean could live in my bedroom, where he belongs.

What do you want to see?
So I’ve lost some followers and gained some. Last year I’d started a series of posts about me- what kind of games/books/web videos I like. I totally failed to continue it, though.
Anyone still interested in that?
