♲ @16BitEric@twitter.com: Whenever I think of fantasy, I never think of sorcery and dragons. I always immediately picture a group of companions by a fire, trees whispering loudly in a stiff autumn wind. The fighter reapplying a leather strap to their sword grip while the cleric passes a mug to the rogue.

I don't apologise when my kid walks into a vid call. Because I'm not ashamed of her.
She just wants to see if any of you boring adults has a kid or puppy. If you don't, she leaves on her own after 20 seconds.
If she waves hi, wave back. Don't be rude. -
