Aro laughed, "Ha ha ha." He giggled.
That's from an actual book.

Stephanie Meyer. L.O.L. Cries in the distance.

if u ever wanna feel better about your writing just go through the fifty shades books

I don't want to.

My dad was watching me play skyrim and we discovered the 50 shades of gray smut of skyrim…… Only read the first few lines.

wh

It is literally called The Lusty Argonian Maid I opened it as a joke.

Oh my god! Yes!!!! They’re labeled as if there are multiple volumes, but much to my disappointment, there’s only the one… I found a bookshelf with like 20-something copies of The Lusty Argonian Maid once.

I looked it up and there are two volumes. Which apparently are both highly suggestive.

What the pancake

Indeed.

Wait really? I gotta find the other volume then. It's absolutely hilarious.

I read it just now (on Wiki fandom because the actual font is awful to read) I found it hilarious.

I… I don't know how to respond to this.
No adult Skyrim fanfiction on the good, Christian server?

I second.

That's fair.

Yeah

I have another thing that's been on my mind for quite some time.

Periods in books, like… If I was in a jungle being chased by the gov. while on my period, my main focus would be finding pads, tampons, and chocolate.

shove a sponge-like fungus up there and lets go

Buddy, if someone said that to me while I was doing that, this would be my only response: "You have five seconds to run, nothing can keep you safe."

sksksks thats a mood. i'd honestly do the same, or i'd tell them to shove it somewhere else the sun don't shine

Oh, true… I've read exactly two books that talked about menstruation at all. It's like… yes, people with periods bleed. We get cramps. We get moody. But when it's talked about, some people get grossed out? What's wrong with a little mention and making people a little more real?

Yeah like… You can handle fight scenes where a character get's killed… But you can't handle someone on their period

@thighhighcrocs
this isn't related to the chat or anything else but I just wanted to let you know that for the past few weeks every time I saw your username on the forums I had a minor existential crisis, because my mind jumped to a very visceral image of thigh high crocs but I could not for the life of me figure out how they would work
and now you've added an image and I've been staring at it in consternation for the past too long
and I just
thank you??? but also not??
I can't anymore
