Me: *reading older parts of Roy Mustang: Sex Ed teacher*

Mom: *sitting on the couch across the room and probably facing in my direction, now that I think about it*

TV: *switches to football*

Mom: *watches for a bit*

Mom: PENETRATION!

Me: (!!?!!CRAP.) What?

Mom: Oh, I don't know, I just like it when they use sex words in football! Penetration.

Me: (So she got that from TV, and not from Roy Mustang putting his fingers up Ed's butt?) Uh-huh. Tight end.

Mom: YEAH!

I mean, it's not like I worry about it constantly, but how much can the fambly see of what's going on with the computer over here? Solutions, instead of worrying: 1. move out and never think about parents seeing abundant porn ever again. 2. At least put the computer in your room Robin, but it's so cold and lonely in there, I don't like it, pout pout. NO, NOTHING IS GOOD.

I should talk about Tales of Legendia again before I finish the game. I've done everything.


To summarize: Chloe's character quest hurt me. I came away thinking (and I am a pessimist yes I know), so now Chloe is just a dumb noble girl with a sword? Not to mention, Chloe crying, and Senel blathering about the rain until Chloe agrees with him. I was numb for Moses' character quest (and plus, I mean, being nice to doggies, this is natural), and then finally during Jay's scenario something got through. I mean, it was so blatant, she stops him and she starts talking and it's just this long conversation full of morals.

I fucken' hate Shirley.

I'm sorry. I changed my mind. I'm not pleased to have her in the party. I don't even like the way she apologizes her way through battle anymore. I can't even IDENTIFY with it. Her character portrait spooks me and I can. Not. Deal with how she lectures people, and yes, she does a LOT of it. I do not enjoy having all the morals laid out for me because they're impossible and unpleasant, and being forced to eat them. I long for a subtler show of What is Right and What Brings Happiness, which would give me more to analyze, and I do seem to enjoy the rumination!

It was just easier for me to deal when she was the helpless female who does makes all of her decisions because of MANLY SENEL ME AM MAN. They're not saying what's right, they're just going to show Vaclav being a shithead and play some really cool music and let me do the math. Once Shirley stopped being the damsel in distress and was permitted to open her big fucking mouth and everybody started having to Learn a Lesson instead of kicking ass, everything went downhill. I can pretty confidently say, I would have enjoyed this game more if she never joined the party.

Anyway, now that I've figured this out, I'd already decided that I was going to play again through chapter 7, so now I'm justified. Screw you, Legendia. I'm already having fantasies about how much more tolerable the sermons in Tales of the Abyss will be.

By the way, yup, I'm thinking there'll be a lot of chit-chat about relations between social and financial strata in Tales of the Abyss. As in, cheer up, Tear! You don't have any parents, money, or love, but you've got ME!

Oh ... my ... +giggles+ XD

I've been reading "Sex Ed Teacher" too, but I somehow lost track of it ... I should really catch up with it, but I don't know up to which part I read ... ~_~;; (I loved it so so much because it was such a ... sweet "get together"-fic. Really cute. ; 3;)

Yeah, she was acting pretty loopy. XD

I love it because it's just chock-full of Make Ed Happy. Make him feel safe, hold him when he's sad, fuck his brains out ♥ And I feel like that just doesn't happen enough in other fics or canon. It's really wonderful.

Hey, you should be more proud of such a funneeh momma! At least her sex jokes are a lot better than the ones mine likes to make (so gross! so utterly repulsive and gross! they have like, twisted my sexuality for good)

ahaha, just asking in case, does your mom know the name of that plushie with the "peplum" or perhaps Ed's? I mean, it's one thing to get caught by your parent while reading fuck stories, but if that fuck story would incidentally deal with two plushies you recently showed to parent in question.. i assume things would reach a whole different level of shamefulness ._x;

...she has, in fact, been told their names a couple times, and she has, in fact, demonstrated that she remembers Ed's name, because she likes guys with long blonde hair. This was a while ago, though.

But you can see why I worry.

Actually, I expect she would be rather cool about it overall, she knows it's a female fantasy and she's just fine with her little daughter having a few of those, but then the plushies. Yes, the plushies might make it worse.
