I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congrats, Gud!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Congratulations, Gud!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Congrats, Gud! That's a tight turnaround!

I often compliment women on their smarts. Or if a woman wore something sexy to please me, I'll tell her how great it looks on her.

Nope, not really usually even on my smarts. I mean, you can think I'm smart, and let that be known through deed and word, but saying, "ita, you're an intelligent woman and I'm enjoying these deep discussions with you..." and I'll get all retchy retchy. And if a guy thought I dressed to please him, he better not let me know he's thinking that. I dressed to please me. I let him see me. Even though it's a date, that's the air I'm walking in with.

You see the problem?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yay, Gud!

Finding the discussion fascinating, and as usual, grateful we can talk about these sorts of things here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"ita, you're an intelligent woman and I'm enjoying these deep discussions with you..."

Yeah, it would sound weird to say that. If I compliment a woman on her smarts it'd be in reference to some specific thing she said or did.

Good job, Gud! I hope it's the place that was convenient and interesting.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Congrats, Gud!
