That does suck, but remember that there’s a massive card pool st your disposal and I don’t see dedicated players going away anytime soon.

a culture that guarantees absolute belief to anyone who says they experienced sexual trauma.

Alternatively, you could decide that just because someone was nice to you doesn’t mean he wasn’t an awful piece of shit to other people.

Yes, because as we all know, appearing on a Netflix series is a constitutional right we’d be denying Mr. Tambor.

For every good fanfic writer out there, there are a hundred with no talent and no taste who just want to make their favorite characters bone.

if I’m playing in someone else’s sandbox, I try to be respectful of the spirit of their work. I’m no great shakes as a writer, but at the end of the day, I’d like to think I’ve made something that wouldn’t make the author violently ill if they stumbled across it.

Fanfic has its fun moments.

Anytime a white guy calls anybody brother I start looking for Aryan Nation tattoos.
