Oh holy shit how could I forget?
They also describe wine as Steely which then then refer to as: “the man-ballerina of wine.”
I am now going to refer to things as “the man-ballerina of x”
“This post is the man-ballerina of comedy”
“Triple fudge chocolate is the man-ballerina of brownies”
Knott has a conversation regarding wine and alcohol with Luna and has to describe the flavors. This sparks a discussion between Knott’s player and @hyperionnebulae about what terms are actually used to describe wine
So I looked up a list and found this article
Here are some Highlights:
Angular: First of all, wine is a liquid and therefore cannot contain angles unless its in a container with angles. Second of all the article uses the following description: “
It’s like getting punched in the arm in the same place over and over again.” I do not want this in my mouth? I don’t want this anywhere near me?
Barnyard: “
This means the wine smells like poo.”
Fleshy: This word should not be used to describe anything edible. I don’t even want this word to describe meat, which is actual flesh. I especially do not want this word to describe a drink.
“Oh this wine is awfully fleshy~”
“That’s blood, ma’am”
Intellectually Satisfying: Besides the actual meaning of this descriptor being a huge “fuck you” to any average person that wants to enjoy wine, I think it’s a silly descriptor. What does this even mean? Are you playing chess against your bottle of wine?
“Oh, I didn’t much care for that wine. It wasn’t Intellectually satisfying enough. It couldn’t even beat me in a simple game of chess.”
“It couldn’t even beat me in a game of Poker!”
“But you’re terrible at poker!”
“I only play red cards! I mean, good cards!”
Laser-Like: My favorite part about this one isn’t even the lack of a read description, it’s the picture they included in the article.
I’m guessing at this point in the article, this is what you’re drinking your wine from.
The best part though, is that the very first comment reads:
What 3 descriptors describe you? me: Elegant Jammy Unctuous.
The first two words don’t warrant description, but the third word means “oily” according to the list. This guy describes himself as Elegant, Jammy, and Oily. I never ever want to be described as Jammy and Oily (at least not out loud or in public).

Okay so that doll pose program is very cool and exceptionally useful for height differences and camera angles.
Man but like, Cityverse Sherwood too tho
Sherwood spends a lot of time doing vigilante work at night and working a desk job to pay the bills during the day. It’s all fun and games until he ends up accidentally fathering a kid.
Not wanting to end up like his own father (out of the picture and despised by his child) Sherwood ends up negotiating partial custody by the grace of the woman and the courts.He gives up vigilante work to spend time with his daughter. He works extra hours at the office and picks up a part time job when Robin’s mother has her to help pay child support. He takes her to and picks her up from ballet and soccer and martial arts. He never misses a competition or recital. He brings her fundraiser stuff to work and always makes sure that he buys something to help her out, even if no one else does.
He learns how to help her with her hair and makeup for recitals. He helps her get into costume for their trips to the Renaissance Faire. He takes her camping in the Summer and teaches her everything he knows about the woods.He’s a guy that works himself to his bones for his daughter. His friends end up mostly being other parents from school or sports. He’d do anything for her because when she smiles, when she says ‘I love you, dad’ that’s what makes the universe truly right.
He cries on her first day of school. He cries when she goes to prom. He cries on her graduation day. He cries when she finally leaves home, and every time she comes back. He cries when she gets married and when she brings over his baby grandchildren.
And the Grandkids come to love Sherwood too.
Okay but then there’s single (adopted mom) Sabriel who’s part of an open adoption system where she has custody of Ellodie but her birth mom is also allowed to see her under supervision. And like Sabriel talks to her daughters biological mom all the time and teaching her how to be a better mother.
Single mom Sabriel who works like 5 different jobs: nights at the hospital, lifeguard/swim lesson teacher, stand in librarian, self defense and rape survivor trainer, etc AND still manages to make time for Ellodie’s many activities.
Sabriel being twice the mom she never had.
Okay but Robin and Ellodie being friends from school and maybe from dance and/or martial arts and being like “But our parents tho” and doing all kinds of shenanigans that are mostly goofy and and not actually romantic but they make the parents laugh together and the girls feel accomplished.
Man but like, Cityverse Sherwood too tho

There’s something about Single Dad Sherwood that just really makes me smile; particularly where things are at right now in Exalted.
Because you’ve just got this big powerful dragon man with fireflies in his hair and a weapon on hand who is suave and dangerous and bold. And then he sees his sweet daughter whose been working so hard to live up to her father’s example and he just beams.
“Look at my small child. Look at how amazing she is. She works so hard and she is beautiful and wonderful and kind and powerful and I love her.”
Just like.
“Hello I am a second circle soul of Gaia and while that’s all well and good, have you met my daughter? She’s queen of the north now, I’m so proud of her. She tried to sacrifice herself for the well being of others, just like her old man. Who wouldn’t be proud of her?”
