Really though, was this fucktarded lemming raised by a coven of Karens!? 😤 Guy seems like he's seen some shit, but then he says "They ain't gonna do anything while they're working"

Not everyone in the world is a Starbucks barista living paycheck to paycheck and currently on the clock in front of recording cameras so they can't even stand up for themselves when someone asks for breast milk 😐

Those people Karens think they're dominating ain't bully food. They basically have the lease of their apartment held hostage by a corporation that's probably run by a psychopath.

Get yourself in a situation where you know that if the bully's patience disappears, so does the roof over your head. See how assertive you are then. Gonna get some street cred at the cost of your street address?? I wouldn't recommend it 🤔

And "as long as the most dangerous one isn't here right now, we're safe." says the guy who AT THIS VERY MOMENT is on a pinpoint retaliation thingy based on what happened to someone weaker than him days ago??? Ba'scuse me?? What goes around comes around 😅

Really though! I wouldn't be too harsh if they were living in more mundane circumstances, but she knew these wankers wanted her. Plus, she's been through enough to know rich people don't gotta play by the rules.

I'm guessing the author didn't want us to see her full power right off the bat, so there had to be some kinda handicap on her. And the orc had a huge handicap too. Good plan plot-wise but bad execution.

Could have temporarily lost the weapon some way besides negligence, like maybe how that creepy mage used some kinda spell to take the undead guardians' swords away. That was fuckin' poggers

I think that's the dagger the priest just bought. He's watching, so I guess he's trying to learn.

It'd make sense. Mana runs out eventually, so he might get caught without it at some point.

A smol weapon would make sense too. He wouldn't need much strength if his technique was good enough to only hit soft areas, it wouldn't weigh him down while traveling, and he could hide it in his robes and appear unarmed. A bigger sword could also be hidden if he had a taller frame, but him a smol boi 🙂

A frontline-type fighter who caught him alone might not expect him to have a plan for the situation, and since it'd be a villain they would probably be reckless and overconfident, so even if they were ultimately intending to kill him, they might accidentally give him an opening to hit back.

And I'm guessing they wouldn't wanna kill him anyway. If was any type of military leader, the protocol for that situation would be capturing and not killing. Anyone who could heal would be a good prisoner of war, because they'd really want him back.

They'd probably have some of my own people captured, so we could negotiate a trade. Obviously I wouldn't want the other side to have their healer back, but if they had someone I loved, I'd still do it.

Would be even funnier out of context

Oh my God I could fucking cry 😭😭😭😭

He can't tell anyone about his past life, and there's no other plausible reason he would already know she's there. The only way he could think of to get past the ones who are considered more suitable and to her specifically, without causing suspicion, was to give the impression that her skin is the most important thing to him 😭😭😭

That's how their relationship is gonna start 😭

"You get to bypass the rest of your training because this guy cares more about your skin than any of the skills that people like about elves" 😭

As if slavery wouldn't be degrading enough already. Imagine being chosen based on something like that instead of your competence, when you've been lead to believe that your competence is basically all you are 😭

AND WHAT'S HE GONNA DO TO COMFORT HER!? 😭

"I'm not fetishizing you. I already knew you were there because we were lovers in a past life but I couldn't tell THEM that." 😭

I don't think that'd work 😭😭😭😭

What the honey mustard hell, just noticed that's a minus sign 😳

Er... IS it??? How the barbecue balls did you get negative eight hundred points? Don't we get 50 a day just for using the site?

Hahaha!!! Nice username 🤣 I just named my Baldur's Gate 3 character BallsDeep69 and it's been so funny seeing people use it in sentences when they're talking about serious stuff.

❗❗❗ALRIGHT, anyone who sees this who hasn't started dating yet, listen to this. It could save your life, or someone else's.

❗Ako's behavior is not cute or funny or charming. It's fucking psycho. 🚩🚩🚩

✅ Have your fun with fantasizing. The world around you is scary enough. You can't afford to be afraid of your own thoughts. Think about whatever you want. Attractions to unhealthy fictional characters is as normal as hiccups, but keep it between your ears.

❗But if you meet someone who's like that IRL, never speak to them again! It might be difficult to be firm about it if you're timid or compassionate, because they're scary and pitiful, but you HAVE TO. They're not joking. If you give them any time to get more attached it'll be worse.

Reply button bugged rn, so I'll just say this for whoever sees it in the future. (Referring to those other comments.)

If you ever get the feeling you're talking to someone who's so hard up for a fistbump that they'll flex stuff they don't have to people they're never gonna see again, the healthy response is compassion, not mocking.

And I don't mean that feigned compassion shit where you say "Seek professional help" or "Who hurt you?". That's much worse than a straightforward insult. Calling that a "dick move" wouldn't quite say it. It's more like a Richard move.

And if you're thinking "When I say that to people I really mean it.", it doesn't matter how you mean it. What matters is how they take it. If you haven't established yourself as a good person with them, they will take it as an insult.

And if you're thinking "Well that's their problem, not mine." That's how you don't genuinely care about them. You never did.

Stop and think for a minute about what kinda state of mind someone would have to be in to do that. Ffs just pound it.
🤜💥🤛

Hehe, I thought I was the only one using the word bombshell for that! I used it just a few days ago this comment section! I've been using snack a bit more often lately, but sometimes that doesn't quite say it. There's "Yum!" and then there's "BOOM!💥"

I know it's kind of a silly thing to get happy about, but I think it's important to enjoy the little things in life 🤙

C'mon m8, be reasonable. For the sake of the plot, it's the author's job to make us hate the villains.

It was generous to only imply what happened instead of depicting the actual abuse. Like, I love Sword Art Online, but they go way too far with that shit.

There was a scene in I think season 4 that was almost the entire fucking episode, basically softcore NTR. I've never been so mad at a drawing before. Really didn't think it was possible after all I've seen.

Plus, remember, we're probably gonna get to see that guy die eventually. And the best authors always write it so the person they harmed the most kills them.

I'm hoping she cuts out both of his eyes and says "Ugh, that annoying gaze!"

You might be coming down a little hard on that person m8.
Being born into favorable circumstances is no more of a flaw than being born into disadvantageous ones.

The reason they know nothing of the world is the same as why you've seen enough that their comment disgusted you. Y'all are both playing the hands you were dealt, just like everyone else. We all got our flaws and our damage 🙂

It's okay to be sheltered. What's not okay is when someone doesn't acknowledge their natural advantages and thinks they're completely self-made.

Yeah, a lot of people who have confidence issues, part of it is that they just don't give themselves enough credit. They'll say they never get any compliments, but they only count it if it comes from someone they'd date.

I know it's more satisfying in those instances, but you should really count everything from everyone. Even if it's to a lesser degree, it should be something. I can understand when people are focused on looks, I've been there.

I only like women, so attention from ones I think are hot is better. But you don't gotta be sexually attracted to guys to know what a desirable one looks like. Whatever your workout goals are, that's probably part of the reason you chose them.

Desirable in a general sense I mean. I know from meeting SWs that there's a market for everything and everyone is hot to someone, but some have wider audiences.

Fr though he's like the butt baby of a saiyan and a Blaziken and doesn't let it go to his head. 💜 this MC

I'm gonna look into that because I'm a Hermaeus Mora nerd and I hate not understanding things, even though I'm expecting some kinda ligma-esque joke, because that wouldn't disappoint me. I love those jokes.

Google's gonna be like "Kallmann on the phone and ask them for buttsex, 'cause you gay LOL xD 3==D "

I love that Kamogawa is one of the strongest physically. People need reminders that kindness and weakness don't go hand-in-hand, that tough and mean are different things, and that there's a time and place for badassery. They're called "almost nowhere" and "almost never" 💜🤌

I'm tellin' ya m8, (only guessing, not assuming I'm accurate) if you're a straight guy who's ready to through your phone out the window because you just had conversation like this with a grown-ass woman for the 100th time,

"Is something wrong? You seem upset."
"I'm fine."
"Okay good. 'Night."
"See, that's your fucking problem."
"So you are upset??"
"Oh gee, ya fuckin' think???"
"What's on your mind then??"
"You wouldn't understand if I told you."

GET you an non-binary partner. Pussy between the legs and total mixed bag between the ears. Collectively they're not any more likeable than any other group, same ratio of good to bad as anyone else, but there's a higher chance you'll have flaws that are more relatable to each other.

It makes for a LOT less arguing. Far and away the least conflict I've ever had in a relationship. And I don't mean they're a pushover, they just don't have any of the toxic traits that were making me pull my hair out when I was dating women. And the toxic crap I see other guys say that makes me feel embarrassed on their behalf, none of that either.

ENBYs can truly be the best of best of both worlds. If they ever leave me I might not even try to pull a new partner. I might just get a harem of waifu pillows, some kinda VR headset, and put an engagement ring on my right hand 🤙

It'd be impossible to make it look like it was just how things played out, but if I knew I could pull off the sabotage this good I'd make sure the two loudmouth guys were the only casualties.

Would be great to have a whole freakin' bunch of knights see me succeed where the nobles failed. Make it look like I couldn't keep them alive but made sure to protect their corpses from getting crushed or burned.

That way they'd be tf outta my way and their families would be grateful they could have a proper funeral. Status would help him a lot since his goal is to stop the other species' from getting enslaved. Influencing the bad guys to stop doing it would be more efficient than fighting a war.

People tend to wanna harm those who've harmed others, and I get that, because I'm like overwhelmingly vengeful by nature. But protecting the innocent is a higher priority than punishing the guilty. The purpose of the punishment should BE the protection. Not just spite.

If someone's truly well-meaning, that's how they should think. They should take whatever course of action has the least casualties and collateral damage.

Bad people don't necessarily need to be punished, they just need to stop being bad. It's true that there's almost never a practical way to make that work out since bad people only think of themselves and need fear as a deterrent, but still priorities shouldn't be forgotten.

It's not a weird thing to like m8. Not at all. You're fine 🤙
Being honest about it is what's unusual. A lot of stuff is like that.
The world needs more genuine people.
Society-wide facades based on pseudomorality are cancer.
Find any femboy who does OF or Fansly or Patreon and as him how it's going.
They make BANK 💰💰💰💰

Morality aside, there's a lot of potential personal gain to consider when you have access to rich/influential people. If they feel indebted you can get favors from them.

An IRL example would be high paying corporate jobs. Social skills can be a greater asset than anything academic, because there are times when jobs are given to people the employer likes, instead of people who will perform the best.

In this case if he saves a noble and an assload of the people he's responsible for, he can expect a payoff. Even if the noble's a scumbag, reputation is important to them, so they don't wanna get their people killed. Saving the people would protect the noble's reputation.

Gratitude wouldn't just be the proper thing, it'd be self-serving too. Even if they don't like him, they'd want to be in his favor if he could potentially help them later.

Now factoring morality in, he's partially at fault for this. He withheld a good bit of information from them. He knows more about this place than they do. They're more tired than they need to be rn because he lead them there in a way where they did unnecessary fighting.

He did that on purpose, which was scummy for an MC. I get that he doesn't like the knights, and he's got good reason, but it put the orcs at risk too. He was also negligent for forgetting about the traps. And since he knows they fell through a floor, they're not gonna be able to take the same path back out.

Lastly, remember how this started. The nobles demanded a guide from whatever that settlement was, and someone's dad/husband was gonna have to do it. The MC volunteered. If hypothetically they TPK'd in here, there'd be an investigation and the nobility would trace it to that settlement. Nobody would be able to tell them who the MC was, so they'd probably get blamed for the whole thing.

Circling back around the the rich/influential/favor thing, even if someone's a scumbag, you might not wanna instantly rule out working with them temporarily. Their money is worth the same anyone else's, and you don't have to spend it on yourself. You can undermine their efforts from the inside by helping good causes.

In this case for example, he already knows the course of history. If he helps the scumbags through this thing they might give him a lot of money, and he could use it to help prepare the people that they're gonna attack later. Personally I'm a love-addicted simp, so my top priority would be buying and freeing the elf girl he keeps thinking about.

Being loved does wonders for my my mental health, I'm never happy when I'm single. So if I had plans as ambitious as his, I'd be expecting a lot of stress and wanna be sure I could keep my head on straight. I can't help nobody if I'm dead. So elf girl first, civilizations second 😅
