Anonymous asked: Nonternary for both crush and ship meme

sinesalvatorem:

Would anyone like to explain to me WHY he’s so damn sexy before I make up my mind on dating him?

Inner genre-savviness: Clearly nonternary has mind-control powers.

Me: You frequently suspect people of having mind-control powers. You have read too much erotic horror.

IGS: But foreshadowing!

Me: *sigh*

#honestly I don’t even *like* erotic horror #but beggars can’t be choosers and also it’s kind of fascinating what a very finely honed sense of genre-savviness can do #and I suspect I may have been doomed to be towards the generally paranoid end of the psychological scale either way #reply via reblog #sexuality and lack thereof

queenshulamit asked: Socks

They were his secret pleasure, his dangerous joy, and he kept them buried deep where no one would ever look. The long, multicolored socks he would slip into in the loneliest hours when no one was likely to come knocking on his apartment door. Jason could relax, cook some Asian food, make himself a fancy drink, and forget about the world.

He was forgetting about the world when suddenly he smelled smoke. His dinner was on fire! He tossed his drink on the flames, but that just made things worse. He screamed and ran for the fire extinguisher. Soon everything was contained. Jason collapsed onto the couch, legs crossed, but he heard a key enter his lock. His neighbor Allison must have heard! There wasn’t enough time to sprint to the bedroom. He accepted his fate with grim determination.

Alison opened the door, spare key in hand, taking in the scene, one eyebrow cocked. Her eyes fell on a blushing Jason. “Don’t tell me,” she began. “I spy why you cried: a tie dye thigh high stir fry gone awry and worsened by a spilled Mai Tai. Why you’re tongue tied is that I’ve come by, and in your mind’s eye you’ll be decried as not a tough guy, which feels like a black eye. Well I won’t pry, let’s let this incident pass by. (Though tie dye’s out of fashion, by-the-bye.) Bye-bye!” And with that she left.

Jason vowed that the next time Alison came over he’d be wearing orange socks and eating nothing but oranges, just to make her squirm.

justice-turtle:

*hissing growling noises* I need to retincture my Harpy’s Roost farmers, since it’s been bumped upward to a lvl 22 venue and we can no longer one-shot everything in there with 129str. So I’m fidgeting around waiting on the people who understand these things to figure out what the new numbers are for farming and exalting there… :P

Wait, they–

*looks*

–they didn’t even give it a proper news post? Just a bunch of stuff in the minor-notice section? I mean, I knew this was coming, I knew we were going to have to re-min-max, but I expected it to a: take longer (since when are they this fast?) and b: get an actual post like the Mire nerf revamp.

*shrugs, goes back to using re-min-maxed Mire trainer to stockpile L5s for Battle of the Bay*

(Plus the new Swipp familiars need rocks from Crystal Pools and scarabs from Sandswept Delta, so really I can afford to wait a little while for the resident coli experts to work out the optimum strategy. I’ve got other things I want to do in the meanwhile anyway.)

Benjamin Sisko

End Fight Probability: There is a 100% chance Sisko knocks you out. 

Sisko’s a survivor, man. He’s Space Dad. Why you even tryin’ to fight your space dad? Sisko has fought almost everyone he’s ever met and triumphed astoundingly. He literally punched Q in the face. He is a goddamn hero. You should be ashamed of yourself. Don’t do it. Don’t fight Sisko. 

Lt. Jadzia Dax

End Fight Probability: There is 99,999% chance Dax knocks you out.

Dax is basically a Klingon in a much hotter, more capable body. She’s gonna whoop your ass. If you do manage to beat her – and you won’t unless she lets you – you’ll have roughly 200 Klingons on your ass in a hot second, because blood oaths are a thing. Don’t do it. Don’t fight Jadzia Dax.

Major Kira Nerys

End Fight Probability: There is a 150% chance Kira knocks you out.

I get it. Kira’s small; she’s snarky; she is occasionally wrong about things. You might think this could be an easy one. But here’s the thing, friend: Kira killed a man for the first time when she was a prepubescent toddler subsisting on only bugs and her own fury. She is literally rage incarnate. She will fight anyone and anything. If you have an actual problem with her that you need solved, just talk to Odo. He’ll fix it. Just don’t fight Kira.

Odo

End Fight Probability: There is a 235% chance Odo knocks you out, and a 98% chance he takes your ass to space jail.

Odo literally has no bones. He doesn’t bruise or bleed. You can’t hurt him, and you will really, really embarrass yourself if you try. He literally doesn’t carry a weapon anywhere. Why? He doesn’t need one, his whole fucking body is a weapon. You ever tried to fight a Go-Gurt? It’s not a fun time. He will lay you out cold and probably put you in a cell to think about your poor life decisions. Don’t do it. Don’t fight Odo.

Dr. Julian Bashir

End Fight Probability: There is a 0% chance Bashir knocks you out.

Bashir is a doctor, okay? He takes that very seriously. He’s not going to hurt you, and even if he did, he’d feel so compelled to patch you up afterwards that your fistfight would probably just transform at some point into a very weird physical. But, take my word for it: don’t fight Bashir. Like, first of all, why do you feel compelled to fight him in the first place? And second of all: OH MY GOD HAVE YOU MET HIS INCREDIBLY POSSESSIVE CARDASSIAN BOYFRIEND? DON’T DO IT! DON’T

Elim Garak

End Fight Probability: There is a 105% chance Garak straight up murders you.

DO NOT!!!!! FIGHT!!!!! GARAK!!!!!! JESUS CHRIST, DO NOT FALL FOR THAT “PLAIN SIMPLE TAILOR” ROUTINE, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT HE USED TO DO FOR A LIVING??? HE WILL MURDER YOU, MAN! HE WILL MURDER YOU! HE WILL MURDER YOU AND MAKE IT LOOK LIKE AN ACCIDENT AND NOBODY WILL EVEN FIND YOUR BODY FOR ANOTHER 50 YEARS!!!!!! HE KILL YOU AND MAKE YOUR SKIN INTO A SNAZZY TWO-PIECE SUIT!!!!!!!! DON’T DO IT!!!!!! DON’T FIGHT GARAK!!!!!!!!! I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!! DO NOT DO IT!!!!!

Worf

End Fight Probability: There is a 135% chance Worf knocks you out.

Unless you’re going in on Worf about what a shitty dad he is, just don’t. I know he’s a nerd, but he’s a Klingon nerd, dude. Don’t fight Worf.

Quark

End Fight Probability: There is a -7000% chance Quark knocks you out.

Yes. Fight him. Fight Quark. Fight Quark and win. Fight him for being a gross, misogynistic little shit. Fight him for abusing the shit out of Rom. Fight him for overcharging you for nonalcoholic beer and the worst bar food this side of the galaxy. Fight him on the behalf of his dentist. Fight him until he starts crying. Because he will start crying. Please fight Quark. Please.

Miles O’Brien

End Fight Probability: There is a 15% chance O’Brien knocks you out.

I mean… you can definitely take him, but why would you? Something horrible and confusing is bound to happen to him in an episode or two, anyway. Leave the poor man in peace. Don’t fight O’Brien.

Jake Sisko

End Fight Probability: There is a 250% chance his dad shows up and knocks you out.

No, Jake probably can’t take you. He’s a bow-legged writer type with weak arms and no practical fighting skills. But the minute his daddy senses something amiss, he’s gonna be on you like beautiful, well-muscled coonhound on a scared, dumb raccoon who picks fights with children. Fight Jake at your peril, friend.

Ezri Dax

End Fight Probability: ???

WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU??? LITERALLY WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, LEAVE EZRI ALONE

Vedek Bariel

End Fight Probability: There is -15% chance Bariel knocks you out.

If his shirtless scenes with Kira are any indication, Bariel’s monastery has a benchpress. But he has one of the most punchable faces I’ve ever seen in my life, and he’s not big on violence, so you’ll probably be fine. He’s also got somebody trying to murder him every week or so, so if I were you I’d get in there quick. Do it. Hurry up and fight Bariel. 

Kai Winn

End Fight Probability: There is a 33% chance Winn knocks you out.

Winn’s not a great strategist, and, as person, is literally the worst, so if you get in quick, you might be able to get one up on her. But that woman has seen some shit. She has seen some shit. And… seriously, just look at her. That lady is so evil it comes off of her like stink lines. Who knows what would happen if you fought her? Don’t risk it. Don’t fight Kai Winn. 

Gul Dukat

End Fight Probability: There is a 50% chance Gul Dukat knocks you out.

Yes, he’s bigger than you, and stronger than you, and in all likelihood can survive pretty much anything you can throw at him. Cardassians are like that. But for fuck’s sake, please fight him. Please, for the sake of the entire universe, fight him. Fucking fight him. Please for the love of God fucking fight Dukat
