The status is NOT quo.

ita, I think you should only engage in these arguments face-to-face, and by that I mean his face with your fist in it.

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

My mother once asked me if something was wrong with me, why I kept fighting. I said "You do realise, of you and Daddy, if provoked, you're the one jumping across the table and bitchslapping the person that pissed you off?" She paused, and couldn't argue with me. I told her I was just channelling that.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Geez, when won't people learn that women are far bloodier-minded and coldly practical when it comes down to it than most men?

Hmm, I suppose it is a generalization, although I meant to imply the "this is a general case scenario" by the "most men part.

I guess this is anecdata from my own experience, and maybe it's colored the societal expectations many people have of women as mainly nurturers, so maybe the situations I've seen have really flown in the face of that expectation.

It should be more "Geez, when won't people learn that women are far bloodier-minded and coldly practical than is generally expected by commonly held societal perceptions of women's delicacy, when it comes down to it?"

But I don't back down from my assertion that women can, and do, indeed, win fights!

But I don't back down from my assertion that women can, and do, indeed, win fights!

Of course.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am so sorry, Burrell. It sounds like she had as good a passing as one could hope, but it's always sudden.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

It felt both a long time coming and quite sudden, if that is possible. I was surprised at how quickly she declined.

Burrell, I'm very sorry for you and your family's loss. It's always sudden.

Oh, so sorry Burrell.

And y'all are creeping me out with the bug and mice talk! How'm I supposed to go to sleep like that??
