hahahaha yeah that sounds like karkat
did you know the first time we met in person he threw a prime vintage shitfit over who was supposed to be the leader now
and then when someone told him to be quiet he actually just fuckin held his breath until a bucket materialized out of goddamn nowhere and clocked him in his dumb face
like that got to be me and roses first impression of karkat vantas ace trollherder
anyway im glad hes looking out for you hes good at that shit and also happens to be correct

[hashtagafreakingghost]

no!! I don't even want it to be associated with me!!

[sorry Rakka, rationality isn't her strong suit when it comes to ghosts?]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I have NOT heard that story yet oh wow
not even gonna ask about the bucket thing.....
he said you'd say the same thing by the way and it's no surprise to see he was right
you'll both be glad to know I've been taking it nice and slow here even though it keeps me from getting to Goldenrod sooner

[charcoalfeather]

okay! okay!

I'm sorry, uh we'll have to think of something else.

[Did she strike a nerve? Oh she probably did. Okay...]

[callbacks]

i DO need that badge eventually
besides then you dont have to travel on your lonesome
i mean minus the pokecompany of course
are you still traveling by yourself?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

[Is it easy to hit a nerve with Ashley? Ha ha ha, boy oh boy.]

It's fine. Every time it gets close to me I'll just
I've got strong pokemon.

[hashtagafreakingghost]

no actually
there's this kind dwarf man who traveled with me to Azalea
his name is Varric and I sort of know of him from a video game?
don't tell him that if you know him I've kept it mum
but yeah I would've been completely hopeless without his help

[callbacks]

a dwarf
like
a thorin son of thrain kind of dwarf

[soundmind]

[A special place besides the library? Hmmmm--]

Our first meeting in person we went to the park.

Ken almost fell out of a tree and he met his Yanma.




I don't think he wants to be reminded of that.

[Maybe just a slight inkling of that.]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

well not from that universe but of a similar style
short and bearded and crafty!
have you ever heard of Dragon Age? it's a very addicting rpg

oh wait it came out in late 2009 is that past the cutoff for you?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

A first meeting place is so sweet, though! What if he associates it more with meeting you for the first time than near bodily injury? That'd be pretty romantic. :)

[ashley jesus]

[callbacks]

yeah i was in outer space by then
thats cool though
i thought this place made everyone human when they got here but i guess dwarfs are close enough to human to count huh
actually in some stories cant they make half dwarf babies with humans
are the offspring viable
wouldnt that mean that technically were the same species just with different pedigrees

[text]

[charcoalfeather]

okay
um
be careful, okay?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

they have a wide variety of characteristics in various pieces of fiction but
they do look close enough to human
and maybe he technically is human now but he is still very short

and to answer your question it depends on the medium and world they're from I guess?
for example in Dragon Age dwarves and humans can intermarry and reproduce!! I'm not sure about with elves there's been a lot of discussion there but nothing conclusive :/
and with other species too so come to think maybe it's all-inclusive? I know I've read a lot of debate over the lore regarding that subject

but in Lord of the Rings nothing's been said at all but most fans assume the answer is no all around
unfortunate for the new romance in The Hobbit movies even if
oh uh no spoilers lips are sealed!!!

it's interesting you know in a lot of fantasy narratives there are half-elves and half-orcs and the like but half-dwarves aren't common at all!
there's not even a class in Dungeons & Dragons
people have to homebrew them if they're interested and oh boy don't think they haven't tried
I have to wonder why dwarves get such a short end of the stick too? they can be just as interesting as elves or other races
especially if the creator of the mythos delves into them as being something other than really short humans
it makes you think doesn't it?

[text]

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I will
you too.

[callbacks]

well wait a second
there are loads of half elves in lotr lore
arent all the numenoreans half elves
elronds a half elf and he had kids AND his presumably three quarters elven kid has kids with another fractionally elven human right
eldarion and his sisters
so i mean i understand tolkien had a raging boner for his own prettyboy creations but what the fuck is this rampant racism against the dwarfs why cant they marry human princes and pop out four foot five axe wielding warrior poets
for that matter what about the hobbits
where are my super hairy half sam half gimli babies

[callbacks]

second of all what was that about the new romance in the hobbit movies

[hashtagafreakingghost]

yeah half-elves are in LotR that is EXACTLY what I'm saying!!
there's half-elves everywhere but no half-dwarves??
hobbits are related to humans somehow so PRESUMABLY they can't mate with dwarves either which is totally bullshit!
I mean like I said I'm more of a Gimli and Legalos girl but still it's so limiting???
and there's of course no way to just ask Tolkien obviously

honestly since he doesn't say either way explicitly
I've kind of ignored it sometimes....
and presumed half-dwarves CAN exist.....
death of the author you know?

[hashtagafreakingghost]

and well
I forget you read The Hobbit right?
or at least do you know about the company of dwarves Bilbo traveled with?
there's Kili who is one of the twins
in the movies they thought they needed more girls which um yes absolutely
so they created a new character named Tauriel who's this badass elf friend of Legolas
and so she and Kili have a starcrossed lovers thing going on

[callbacks]

omg
badass elf lady hell YES sign me the fuck up!!!


is she hot

[hashtagafreakingghost]

well
I can't speak from personal experience but
she's played by Evangeline Lilly
and the guys seemed to find her

josh once said something about he wanted her thighs clamped around his head for two straight hours


so there's that

[callbacks]

hahahahaha oh my god
man i wish i wasnt so goddamn out of the loop
i dont even know that actress so i cant comment on the dudes taste but i guess its true
gentlemen prefer blondes

[hashtagafreakingghost]

here are many things I could say to that
but instead just
he most definitely was the farthest thing from a gentleman

do YOU happen to prefer blondes Dave?

[callbacks]

well looking back on the chronology of my most horrendous crushes celebrity and otherwise
aside from a few awkward deviations
nope doesnt look like it
but id also point out that gentility aint exactly my usual purview

[hashtagafreakingghost]

I guess that's fair
but you're more of a gentleman than you think you are
at least that's what I've observed
it was just a question of curiosity anyway ;)
