u have a responsibility to understand ur own privilege btw, there really isn’t a way around it. if ur white u gotta learn about structural racism, if ur a man then u gotta learn about patriarchy, if u live in the first world then u gotta learn about imperialism. u have to be a class traitor, no excuses
can you lie on your character sheet if it’s funny
yes hello this is my character his name is…. Farmer Peasant…. his background is he is…. a peasant…. he HATES the tyrannical boy king, the concept of nephews, and sleeping on the ground. He was forced to flee his… village… after a failed attempt to lead a… people’s uprising against the wicked king. Now he travels with his faithful… farmhand… seeking some sort of magical relic that might allow him to restore… justice… once and for all… very painful justice…
his skills include
- a full set of strong beautiful teeth
- identifying fine perfumes
- alternating between sloshing wine in a goblet and taking a bite out of a pheasant leg
- farm stuff but it’s too complicated to explain
he is, um, a powerful wizard. no he doesn’t have any books or scrolls and he can’t pronounce the more technical magical words and never has to prepare his spells. but that’s because of his salt of the earth upbringing.

So many people who get periods are like “Ugh it sucks that having a menstrual cycle makes you almost die every month” like no that’s not normal you need to go to the doctor
If any of your symptoms go beyond “just like, super annoying ugh whatever” levels you should probably go see a doctor about that
You should not feel so depressed you want to die, you should not be getting mood swings so bad that you become violent, your cramps should not be so bad that you can’t get out of bed, your period should not last more than a week, you should not be losing so much blood that you feel dizzy. Go to the doctor.
Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
(Cleveland Clinic & Mayo Clinic are both pretty good about using gender-neutral language in their articles).
two tips:
1. use the phrase, “this may be normal but that doesn’t mean it’s healthy.”
2. couch stuff in terms of functionality not pain level:
“my pain is so bad i cannot make food for myself.”
“my mood swings are so bad i cannot go into work.”
“my bleeding is so bad i cannot take walks.”
don’t let them know just what is happening, let them know what ordinary or required daily activities are not happening.

thinking about monty going back to gath, who has always wanted to do things right no matter how long it takes. renewed not only by the sights he saw in oda, knowing that his work can set off a century worth of good deeds and bounty, but also by his reconnection with comfrey and seeing that even people who have done bad in the pursuit of good backed by stuborness can see reason; he can make them see reason, no one is a lost cause. his adventure is saving gath.
