I'd like to think that this is how Kho would work as a demon / otherworldly entity / fae.

I agree, and individual choices and goals are better than inherent alignment. Rather than 'Let's make them eeeviiiil', Give them a goal with a character flaw. You don't have to make them sympathetic, you just have to give them something to strive for.

Before I walked away from D&D becuase of WotC's horrid business practices, I started work on a setting where Orcs were created to be protectors of the plants and beasts of the land, designed to live among and respect them, but were very developed.

So, in essence, you end up with the Draconian problem from Dragonlance -- if come across unarmed draconians living peacefully, raising kids, cleaning cooking supplies -- can you let them live if they are inherently evil, even if they are sentient.

Honestly, I think that D&D has had a problem with races in general, especially the Race = culture. Orcs in D&D were meant to be semi-intelligent combat fodder, but once you give a race sentience, you cannot consider them universally evil in all text without an outsider forcing it.

Frankly, a lot of my early horny fantasies involving hypnosis -were- because society generally rejected me, and it was a way for me to be forced to fit in and become accepted. It was usually a group brainwashing me to become part of 'them', with 'them' being some group that held social power.

All I'm saying is that they left buckets of candy RIGHT THERE for the taking. Who woulda thunk that they were guarded by a pack of werewolves?! Man, I'm gonna be sore in the morning.

My thanks to @biffpup.bsky.social for gifting me this wonderful art by the skilled @oinkerarts.bsky.social! Love it!

If you're a goopy / hypno drone, feel free to casually put a cock-gag mask with hypno visor over my face as we talk, and other fun goo / hypno drone suit related activities, just casually.

Fifteenth #Toontober entry, featuring Pitu Le Pew.

I saw him in an episode of Sylvester and Tweety, where he falls in love with Sylvester after mistaking him for a skunk. The weird thing is that Sylvester never sees himself as a girl, so I clearly understood Pitu is gay. -w-

If you're unhappy with the options given, express that, but don't equate that with approval of inaction. Encourage people to vote. Anyone removing themselves from the voting rolls out of protest is expressing that they approve of anyone who gets elected in.

They think that it works like denying business with dollars. Not everything works this way, and opting to protest vote does NOT produce results. Instead, vote locally, pressure your representatives, and enact local changes that are more apt to show groundwork support for wanted candidates.

We ALSO make it easier to challenge questionable votes in areas where we suspect intervention. It provides witnesses for bad practices (such as voter suppression). AND it stops this 'Oh, more people wanted this.' bullshit. Protest all you want, but at the end of the day, numbers matter.

Part of the reason for doing this is to fuck up their numbers. They're depending people becoming discouraged and turning away at the polls, or not showing up. By showing up in record numbers, we can show the wide gap between popular choice and electoral college.

If we, in the States, get another chance to vote EVEN IF IT IS NOT EASY TO DO SO, Vote.

I'm not joking. EVEN IF YOU DON'T THINK IT WILL MATTER.

I do not give a shit. It shows in the polls. It shows those in office.

DO IT ANYWAY. This matters so much, and we need to stop pretending it doesn't.

Said Dataleak will be used as a weapon against opposing government classes, to keep them in line with the party ideals. Of course, people at the very top will have full control, and thus their interests will be kept private.

Those in charge would love to have endless blackmail material.

Destroying the lives of pornographers while freely allowing ChatGPT to create adult content isn't hypocrisy--it's intentional malice. Companies want to be the sole purveyors in our ancient trillion-dollar industry that is porn, but they can only do that by outlawing anyone make it besides themselves
