In fact, it generally lambasts everything.

Of course, I'm not actually in AP, so I don't own a copy myself.

It sounds like Colbert wrote a textbook.

It is a dead serious account of American history, written by someone simulating lead poisoning.

You know what I want to see?

A textbook about the Abrahamic War and Elfen High's post-magic world.

No, I'm absolutely dead serious.

Some actual history professor chronicling that time period. It would make a very fascinating read.

Part of me wants to be a history professor.

Another part of me, specifically the stomach part, would like to be able to eat.

I'd have liked to become some sort of liberal arts worker, but I grew up far too poor to ever risk putting myself at financial risk like that.

Though anthropology, lingustics and history are very fascinating.

Virginia does not appear much better.

Might be good to kill them all off and create a character who is not even remotely a hash of your normal, transgender/genderqueer/whatever they are character. Hell, just make a very ordinary character, if you can.

Largely because your usual type gets very tiring.

I agree wholeheartedly.

I'll let you do the honors and kill Marowit, Ludo and Czernobog off.

I am fine with being an eccentric programmer. (Also called a programmer.)

My immediate instinct upon discovering JOptionPane was to go into a BOSS impression from The Green Death and threaten my best friend's life.

Cool.

It's not that it's bad to have trans characters or whatever - it's just that when you do it, sex or sexuality always ends up becoming the single defining thing about them, like "Woah, look at how edgy and funny this is, he's wearing a bra, that's so edgy and funny and special."

Though that's not how you mean for it to come across, it's how I end up reading your posts and all the characters just blend together.

As a programmer, I'm disappointed you didn't.

We're all pretty fucking crazy.

Nope. Closest I got to you guys was Condy-land.

Here's an idea. A Spanish Knight who died during the Inquisition, which he didn't expect, went to Hell and proceeded to learn some magic spells, become a mild wizard and kick ass.

I thought we were still discussing the textbook, and now I want this to be a thing.

Ah. That makes sense. *nods*

I thought Condy was in Baltimore, though.

I want to read professional biographies written about people like Crowley, Sanchez, Lewis, this Spanish Knight, and so on.

They'd be utterly hilarious and fascinating.

Also, a demon PC character would be nice. We haven't had many of those.
