Looks to be some type of agave to me.

Checking out different species maybe it's a cultivar of agave americana? A. a. marginata or A. a. variegata perhaps?

Imagine thinking I have anywhere near enough emotional self-control to even be made a padawan
No, you will have to face the fact that I'm a trustworthy individual and accept the truth of my words into your heart >:[

Aya is the best of the gym leader characters and that's a fact

Aww such a classic! That line is a big nostalgia magnet, Charmander was my first ever starter, after all.

Fave is Klinklang! Underrated darling, but I'm confident that one day the object-mon haters will see the light and understand that this creature is Arceus' perfect creation.

oh no that wasn't meant to be scary, pffft sorry
just consider that a shortcut for "did someone say blue lions?"
though to be fair, being a little scared is probably required for this game anyway
dedue is great! he gets some really heartwarming support scenes, especially towards the end!

 have fun with the lions, they're good kids, very easy to get attached to IMO

Luna is an adult, though. She's at least 18, Ame said she might actually even be a little older - though she also said that Luna is younger than Taka, who is 22.

excellent idea, note taken

idk what yin is on about with that reaction, sounds like a friendly invitation to me

Ah yeah, finding the right toy for your cat can be a hassle. A lot of cats love pointers and the rods, but of course there's tons of other options to explore. (I can make Pepp happy just by wiggling a belt like a snake, zzz).
If he's a rather young cat then he may also just Be Like That for a bit, they all have that age where they are full of energy especially if they're intact.
But in any case, if he is jumping you and clawing at you you'll be wanting to positively redirect that energy elsewhere. If he shreds toys a lot, it at least sounds like he has the motivation If you can get him into a routine he might even get used to waiting for his designated playtime the same way he'd wait for food.

Alternatively he might have to be kept out of the room until a specific time of the day, though this is only really a useful option if his jumping is because he wants to sleep on you/the bed, and not for attention.

Sounds like he might be understimulated, playing with him for 10-20 minutes might take some of the energy out of him. I love using those "fishing rod" toys for that; keeps you nicely out of claw range as you make the kitty jump and run all over the place. (Also, laser pointers.)

regardless of whether or not the situation escalated too far in the end... you can give people "a bit of heat" without dragging their sexual orientation into it, it's not a difficult concept
like, just so this is clear, if someone's immediate thought about "how can i make fun of this person" is to target their sexuality that's gross and out of line. and not rarely a pretty good indicator that there's more where it came from.

allowing homophobia gets more than just our feelings hurt in the long run, and a "who cares" approach only adds to the problem.

that said, it's whatever the fuck with youtubers, anyway. they'll just post a half-assed "apology video" where they vaguely apologize for making you feel hurt without ever reflecting on the actual wrong they did, and ppl will forget about it when next week's drama roll around

The fact that my #2 fave ever Pokémon is Skarmory should make my answer obvious, but just so we're all clear: Corviknight has every permission to sweep me off my feet. Consdering its status as a taxi, I bet it'd carry me afterwards, too.

you are a very special kind of masochist and it's fascinating to watch

Haha that's a mood! My aunt gave me her smoothie blender a while ago cuz mom told her about how often I was making shakes and smoothies, and I think my consumption of those has doubled as a result :'D

and he is gorgeous!

what is it with articles that wanna drag fangames thru the mud lately? welcome tho \o enjoy your stay!

Oh boy, the ants are at it again, eh? Maybe we should get Cooper a meet-up with Peppone, he apparently has decided that he prefers to eat food if it's not in a bowl. Will happily ignore food in a bowl for food on the floor.
But also, fuck ant invasions, really.

Aww, I know you don't truly mean that, honey.

It's not a stupid question tbh, and I don't think it's possible to give a definite answer to it.
If put very simply, your orientation describes who you feel attracted to - who you choose to actually date or sleep with would have no bearing on whether or not you could, technically, feel attraction to someone.

But at the same time, and that's why I think it's a good question, orientation often intertwines with identity, which is very complex and personal. There may be people for whom their attraction to a particular gender is so irrelevant that they don't even consider it a part of their identity.

To give an unfortunately prevalent example, there are women who could theoretically ID as bi/pan, but through traumatic experiences in their past feel entirely uncomfortable with dating men, and much prefer to refer to themselves as lesbians because they explicitly seek to date women.
(Now, there's something to be said about potentially addressing psychological issues one has, but that's 1) besides the point here and 2) not a stranger's business, so moving on.)

On the other hand, there's people who show a strong preference towards one gender, but do still entertain the possibility of dating people of different genders, and as such will use the bi/pan label regardless of their dating history so far.
 

Never forget, either, that the label you choose to identify with isn't set in stone for the rest of your life. If you were to feel that, for the current portion of your life, you would be best described as gay, then that's your party. There is no Gay Law Enforcement Team(TM) that'll barge into your kitchen at 2:46am because you suddenly decided you identify as bisexual instead.

As a matter of fact, understanding ourselves and discovering our identities is a source of confusion and struggle for many of us, and it's far from uncommon for LGBTQ+ people to switch between labels over time.
It's simply a result of living in cis- and heteronormative societies, so even those of us who weren't forced into a closet aren't guaranteed to have our shit figured out right off the bat.

I find it interesting to note, actually, that there's a significant subset of gay people who used to ID as bi/pan, before realizing that they were just still subconsciously influenced by heteronormativity - their perceived attraction to the other gender being a result of their upbringing and environment.
But no, that is not an excuse to tell bisexual people that our orientation is 'just a phase', and if you do, the Gay Law Enforcement Team WILL barge into your kitchen at 2:46am to lecture you sternly.

So... are you bi or gay? What do you think?

big mood

sounded kinda like farting tbh

Well I'd have loved a PULSE Hypno of my own on that bus, barely managed to sleep at all cuz the guy in front of me had the most obnoxious snore I've ever heard.
I was in Paris yesterday to meet a friend haha. It was absolutely worth it, even though work was suffering. Just yknow, maybe next time I should not try to convince myself that "it's ok to stay til 9pm cuz I can sleep on the bus at night" :'D

@J-Awesome_One I did see this one while sitting in the lobby of the hotel my friend was staying at, so make of that what you will :]
