    Does anyone have the image that starts out as the "Dad drawing her dead daughter" baww comic but the artist is drawing cultist-chan instead? /r/ing that.

    In the meantime, /tg/-related funny pictures and screencaps thread.

    Here's a question: if a nominally emale entity impregnates another female, is she the "dad" or are they both called moms?

    This is possible technically IRL (replace the nucleus of a sperm with a cell from a male or female donor, produce clone), but also through, you know, in games, shapechanging magic or growin' stuff you shouldn't, etc.

    All though today when I was getting back from the gym I saw a box with something moving. I check it out and there where two kittens. I took them to the vet, lucky for them they where only cold and hungry.
    Then while going out I thought; what I'm going to do with 2 more cats. Lucky for me a grandma with her grandchildren saw the kittens and asked me if owned them I said no, and well they wanted them so I gave them to them. They looked like good person to me.

    I met the girl who was in the longest relationship with me after she was in a knife fight. The relationship was good, she was just the sort to randomly pick fights and never back down. There's something hilarious about a chick who was 4'8" and was built like a twig taking down a 300lb guy by repeatedly headbutting him in the solar plexus.

    Her method of introduction was pretty good, too. The transcript of the conversation, as best I remember.
    Her: Hi, you look interesting. Got a moment?
    Me: What the fuck? Why the fuck are you bleeding? Were you just in that fight? What the fucking hell is going on?
    Her: Fucker mouthed off. Yeah, I need your shirt or some bandages. Drive me to the hospital?
    Me: . . . fuck it, we need to go.

    Short use of first aid training to stabilize her, and I was off. She passed out on the drive to the hospital, I made up a bullshit story about her getting mugged, and she thanked me with dinner in a random warehouse she somehow had access to. Apparently got stabbed in the arm, nearly lost the use of it. Didn't stop her batshit antics.

    Sadly, that relationship ended in the most surreal series of events possible, to the point where I'm still wondering if the end was some sort of elaborate joke.

    Yeah, this taught me several things about life.

    - While cute, tiny punk girls are either insane or really, really goddamn insane

    - Rooftops are where really, really weird shit happens. Like releasing three parrots to "make some lonely pirates happy", and growing excessive quantities of tomatoes to make the best goddamn pasta sauce in existence.

    - No matter what, never drink anything that was distilled by a guy whose name is a single word. You will wake up naked, in a horse-drawn carriage, with your girlfriend laughing because she is hungover and somehow obtained a box of toilet paper.

    - Going to straight edge shows and smoking herbal cigarettes is the easiest way to pick fights. Additionally, no security guard will throw out a tiny girl who beat the shit out of someone by provoking them.

    - There is no reason to cover a bicycle in strobe lights. Additionally, there is no reason to strap a boombox to the back and blare "Intergalactic" while riding through the street at 2 AM.

    - Fireworks and half-full bottles of home-distilled liquor will start fires on things you were unaware could catch on fire.

    Trust me, it's almost more trouble than it's worth. Sure, there are good times, but it's confusing and terrible things will happen on occasion. I've also ended up with a lot of hilarious relics of that period. Took a break from women for half a year after that particular debacle.

    Additionally, while mohawks can seem kinda cool, they are annoying and hard to keep washed if you don't want to do a ton of work with them. They are also highly inconvenient during sex. Fortunately, being over a foot taller than her and outweighing her by quite a bit meant that bedroom maneuvering was not difficult.

    Nothing really shows you someone who loves life quite as much as somebody like that, though. It's almost reassuring that someone still is crazy enough to live every day like it's the last.

    Eh, may as well try and get back in touch with her. This thread reminded me of all the good times.

    It involves an eye transplant working perfectly through sheer happenstance, when it is rare enough for even brothers to share enough markers to make them work so well, them finding a doctor willing to remove both of somebody's eyes which will just not happen outside of Brazil or Russia, and somehow the girl never noticing during the entire recoveyr period until she regains her sight that the guy is now blind and without any of the years of experience it takes to live like that, or noticing the weeks he'd spend in the hospital to make sure that he'd not been even more damaged by the procedure. It's not impossible, but it is so unlikely it's the next best thing.

    I've been put off relationships by my own experiences pretty badly. You should never be able to say that two-thirds of your relationships have ended because of a kidnapping.

    Okay, this is going to sound insane. Believe me when I say that I still barely believe that all of this shit happened.

    We were out one night drinking with a few buddies, including a hilarious gentleman who is a Jewish alcoholic of Orthodox appearance, including the sideburns and beard. Steff (the girl in this story) suggests we head on over to a random basement show that was going on.

    It was a fairly decent noise music show with a sort of Tim Hecker vibe going. Somewhat chill. The show/party's host was a Chinese guy who chose this night to wear full-on Mandarin style robes made out of shit he salvaged from thrift stores and stitched together himself. There was a surprising amount of opium there, as well, which is the weirdest drug I've ever had the pleasure of taking.

    So, we're drinking for a while, and I am buzzed out of my skull. Pretty soon, though, Steff manages to pick a fight with a guy and knocks him out with the aid of massively overweighted combat boots. Deciding it's high time to leave, I grab her and a couple of the guys who had gone with us, and left.

    We go to hang out at the abandoned warehouse that she had access to (I'd never gotten the full story, but apparently, her brother owned the place and was trying to develop it. Until then, it just kinda sat there, and we drank in it, occasionally hosting underground shows). Suddenly, lights outside, and a few guys start shouting shit at us. Friends of the guys at the party.

    It's clear there's going to be a fight, so we avail ourselves of various things. Steff then turns to me, knife in one hand and pink umbrella in the other, and says;

    >Hon, you've got a future. I love you, but I can tell this isn't your scene. This is going to suck, so let's break things off on a high note while I go out and try to kill these fuckers. If I call you tomorrow, consider that a proposal. If I don't, then I'm either in jail, the hospital, dead, or running, in which case, this is over.

    I typed up a reply and realized it may be too graphic for /tg/, so I am unsure of what exactly you want an elaboration on.

    To be a massive dick and generalize : those crazy, outgoing fun girls who reek of daddy issues? They are going to often be sexual uninhibited with an extremely low self esteem. They get into the bedroom for you, do anything for you, and will be extremely unlikely to complain.

    Trade off is being in a relationship with one falls into DANGER territory. I unfortunately have noticed I have a bit of a thing for crazy girls, and it has led to fantastic sex. It has also led to completely bat shit insane unhealthy relationships and fights.

    She then charged out, screaming incoherently in what I believe was Finnish, and I booked it. I heard gunshots at one point, but I was booking it the fuck out of there, because something in her words just made me want to do it. Cleaned up a lot of life; no more experimenting with odd substances, finished up a decent degree and MA, and now I've got a nice, stable job.

    Weirdest night of my life. She apparently survived; no one was caught, no one pressed charges. This was about six years ago, and I'm just trying to get her contact info again now, by calling her brother. I honestly want to see what has happened with her, and see if she's still the same person. Two years is a long time when you're in your early twenties, and to spend it with one person is pretty dramatic.

    I still have the jewelry she gave me, in sentimental pique. Admittedly, it's an 8 gauge PA with a skull that I wear on special occasions, but it still counts.

    No. Apparently, she disappeared for about five months, then showed up at her brother's place, which was something I knew. On the phone with her brother right now. She's apparently the owner of a small Italian restaurant in a college town near where I've settled now. I'm going to give her a call in a few minutes, just to see what's going on.

    Well, since we're sharing our bittersweet stories, might as well throw mine out here.

    For the better part of my early years, I was bored as fuck. Classes were too easy because of the broken education system, next-to-nobody shared my interests, and while I had a few lasses interested in me (I was the nice guy archetype and they were all on rebound), the most I did was putz around with the relationship until they got too annoying and one of us called it off. It wasn't hell per se, and it certainly wasn't worthy of dying my hair and listening to 'edgy' music. But it was unpleasant. And then I met her.

    She was petite and tomboyish, a good 3/4 to one foot under my height, with short red-brown hair and a cute, button nose. She had freckles, which I found highly adorable, and while she was fairly flat-chested, I don't think I've ever seen a finer ass in my life. But above all that, there were her eyes. They were green, but not your usual green. They were this bright, cheery green, like the sun shining through a canopy of leaves. And they seemed different. They seemed, well, -alive-.

    She was fun to be around, too. She was a tad violent, but in a harmless, playful kind of way (possibly a moot point considering that I'm built like a bear and have a high tolerance for pain). Had a very catgirl-esque demeanor, and something tells me that she would not be averse to wearing ears and a tail upon request. She was intelligent, silly, geeky as all hell, and she knew how to fire a howitzer. No, I'm not joking. She knew how to arm and fire a goddamn howitzer.

    So this was it. The first person that I'd actually developed some manner of real feelings for. That one girl who was, in my opinion, perfect.

    Naturally, I fucked up.

    My main problem was that I had been trained through media consumption and a good number of rebound chicks that nice guy-ism was the only winning tactic. So I did what I normally did. I acted nice. I got her things she wanted (I was a rich fucker, it was hardly a strain on my wallet at the time). Every advance I made resulted in zero progress, and by the time I finally figured it out, it was too late. Even if she hadn't friendzoned me by that point, I only had two months before I packed up and moved ten hours away for personal reasons. That wasn't any time at all to get serious, and long-distance relationships never work.

    But I continued on. Pandered about, had a hilariously disastrous relationship with a well-to-do-but-shy christian type, and eventually learned about being alpha, or at least incorporating enough alpha into one's strategy as to appear initially appealing. But I didn't care anymore. Nobody really struck me as interesting. No-one was her. And then, as I sat in a new-age store that the relative I was rooming with dragged me out to, it hit me: In all probability, I would never see her again. Ever.

    In my disgruntled haste to leave the state, I turned my back on the singlemost perfect girl in my life.

    Well, final update for the night on my insane situation. Got a call back; apparently, she took a break from work to give me a call, and it's apparently in a bit of a dinner rush.

    She's doing well. We're meeting for coffee and catching up tomorrow. She apparently has a lot to talk about. We reminisced a bit about old times. Both our lives have stabilized, and she's apparently "past the really crazy days".

    She also wanted to know if I still had that piece of jewelry. I take this as a good sign. Thanks for getting me to tell this story and thinking about the old days. Who knows how this will all turn out?

    I freaked the fuck out, sat in a wicker chair, and quietly hyperventilated for a good five minutes. That sense of dread followed me for weeks. I'd all but given up on everything. But one day, one sunny day, as I sat in front of a waterfall at the base of a mountain, it came to me. Her absence and her memory slapped me upside the head, a sort of residual, belligerent stroke of inspiration. She was gone. It was my fault. I can't fix that. But I can learn from my mistakes. I can better myself, find the fullest of my potential, so when I find someone else that I actually love, I can be someone that they actually deserve. She transformed from a lost love into a muse.

    I've grown since then. While I'm still the same quiet, mildly overweight geek, I'm confident and charismatic in a way that I could never have managed before. While genetics and mild asthma keep me from physical perfection, I still exercise for the focus and health it brings me. I'm still single, and have been for a while, but I'm honestly focused on more important things for my age. And while I'll likely never see her again (she has no social network profiles, her home phone changed, and she didn't have a cell last I knew), I've grown to accept her as my best friend. She gets an homage to this day: A spritely, reddish-brown haired girl with freckles and eyes as green as the sun shining through a canopy of leaves is in every setting, bringing quirky cheer to light up even the darkest of worlds.

    So here's to you, Barbara. If we never meet again, know that, whether you meant to or not, you made me into the man I am today.

    Take comfort in the knowledge that you aren't what my friends refer to as "The Priest" of any relationship you're in. They've used a number of descriptors for it, but it seems fair enough to compile them as few of them are ever contradictory.

    Or it works across time. If it's not too late, here's a word of advice from the weary:

    Don't get involved in online games with fa/tg/uys. You'll regret it because some of the more vibrant/charismatic personalities tend to get offended with one another and you'll find yourself drawn into the conflict to either mediate or pick a side. Any game with any sort of social aspect will inevitably end in tears and possibly exhaustion from having to show up on the scene to talk sense into everyone.

    I hate offending people. I hate it when someone says "I hate offending people" and then adds "but" and says something offensive, like the first part is supposed to somehow soften the blow.

    Ok, let's see if I can make my memory recall a remotely interesting bittersweet story.


    When I was 9, I was playing in this huge playground my father used to take me to.

    And in there was this house made of wood, which stood in a elevated ground, and one could see the whole playground from it. Normally I played make-believe alone, or with my sister, pretending the house was a castle.

    I don't even know how that happened, but suddenly there was this boy who wanted to play with me. He also seemed very charismatic, since we suddenly had a lot of kids to play castle with us.

    We were all still deciding on each one's roles when my father decided it was time to go home.

    I remember feeling heartbroken when he asked me to stay, holding my hand.

    Never knew his name, or even seen him again for that matter. He was the first (and the only in a LOT of years after that) that saw something in me. It was at least good enough for him to think I'd make a good queen for the castle we were imagining.

    I wish I knew where/who this guy is.

    Eh, my stories aren't so interesting.

    There was this one.

    Another one was the one time when I was sure I was truly in love. And then the guy had leuchemia and died in less than a year after the diagnostic.

    He wouldn't let me visit him in the hospital because he said he felt ugly and weak, and I was a complete dipshit idiothead and obeyed his wishes.

    So instead I started making those 1000 origami cranes by myself. Japanese families (like mine) do this as a "Get well soon" gift.

    When I was done (i worked like crazy to have it finished in less than a month), I took a picture of all of them (displayed in lines and rows so he could count all of the 1000 if he wanted) and sent him by email.

    He died a few days later.

    Yeah, that hits a little hard on the depressing part of a "bittersweet story".

    The other romantic stories are prettty much your classic "not very attractive girl tries to have a relationship and fails in various degrees of failness".

    They're not bittersweet at all.
    So let's leave that for when we are telling hilariously/delicious FAIL romantic stories.

    Okay, final update on my situation with Steff for the night.

    Got another random call. "What's your current address?" Gave it out, and not half an hour later, she's here with some goddamn amazing linguini. Talked for a while about old times. Talked about new times, as well.

    She's asleep on my couch right now. Conked out after a long day. She's lost the mohawk for a pixie cut, added a few worry lines from the years it's been, but she's still the same girl I knew years ago. Full of energy and exuberant for life. Tomorrow, we're just gonna spend the day together, catching up, and seeing if it's a good idea to maybe pick up where things left off.

    She didn't think that she had anything to do in life, so she did a lot of that bullshit, like picking fights. She walks with a limp now, because she managed to break her leg in three places about three years ago, and it never healed up properly. Decided that it was a good idea to finally settle down, and figure out what she's doing in life. Worked at the restaurant she's now owner of, thanks to getting to know the founder and his retirement and her time in culinary school, all those years ago.

    /tg/, I've found something I thought I'd never get back. Thank you, for somehow starting me on this. All it took was two phone calls to get me in touch with a past I'd forgotten was there.

    We're going to talk about where we stand with each other tomorrow. Looking at her, passed out on my couch, I see the woman I loved years ago. We've both ditched the idiocy of youth. Hopefully, this means that there's still something there.

    I never thought I'd say this, but /tg/ . . . you've really delivered for me. Here's to hoping things go well.

    My story isn't as cool as you guys, but:

    I used to work as a nurse at a hospital, but it wasn't very busy due to a new one built in-town so I tended to do cleaning on the side. One day, I was cleaning a room with a concussed patient inside, and she suddenly woke up and I was the first thing she saw.

    The girl had lost her memory and basically latched on to me from that point onwards, so I was attending to her through most of her rehab. Luckily, her memories came back after a few weeks. I had gotten attached to her, but you know, girlcrushes and stuff. I'm a pretty ordinary person. What's more, the girl was engaged to some businessman, who been patiently smiling his way through all the rehab sessions, so I was like, oh well.

    Then two weeks later she shows up on my doorstep, and it turns out she dumped him because her parents were pushing her into marrying into a rich family so they could funnel money into sending her other sister to law school, when said other sister actually just wanted to go to community college. So, my feelings were reciprocated and even though she didn't need me anymore as some sort of mother figure/rehab cushion, she still had feelings for me.

    Long story short we're still together after a few years.

    She'd been in pretty bad relationships while I had been derping through school. She'd gone out with my best friend, but her father is a total ass face and forced them to stop seeing each other. I'm assuming she got rather sad about this, and whined to our mutual friend. Who also happened to want me, for some reason. She started to hang out with me and our mutual friend more and more, until she finally asked me out because I'm an aspie fuckhead.

    This is like one of the other stories on here, only told from the other point of view, I guess. Still, she is the love of my life and I don't know what I'd do without her.

    I've been picked on most of my life.
    My friends are a bunch of nerds and geeks who mostly are not really going anywhere.
    I've struggled out of a clinical depression that started some time near first grade and lasted for several years after I dropped out during senior year.
    I'm learning social skills that most people have had down pat since elementary right now at the age of 21.
    I'm struggling to join the navy as a hospital corpsman in the fleet marine force (they fix up marines and take their temperature in the field) after an attempt at the Army left my voluntary stint with a psychotherapist on record, something that I found out I didn't even need to mention at all.
    If that fails I'll have to steamroll through nursing and medical school to get where I wanted to go and hope that the military goes into an expansion phase and drops a lot of enlistment regs before I'm too old to join.

    The only things I was born with was a caring middle-class family and a high IQ (i rate 133 on a bad day and I scored a 22 on my ACT while in the worst period of my depression).
    I used to train as a child in a chinese-japanese martial arts dojo and joined the wrestling team in high school despite being 96lbs and 4'5" at the time.
    I eventually dropped out of martial arts during middle school because of the depression and quit the wrestling team after three years of moderate hazing and one broken arm.
    I went to night classes in an adult ed course and graduated with a full diploma and honors.

    I was born with the hardware to succeed phenomenally and yet I'm struggling to dress myself for an interview to flip burgers after three years of fruitless job searching, /tg/, this is where I'm at.

    I still have no idea who I am, but I'm going somewhere, /tg/, and I'd like to thank you for being there when everyone else was too busy to just talk to me, even if it was to correct a smart alec who think he knows which way is up. Thanks for noticing.

    Heh. Sounds similar to me too. Managed to graduate but dropped out of uni because of depression. Since in my country, we have conscription, I spent 6 months in military and it was the first time I felt good. I reenlisted now. No problems there and hoping to manage to get into officer academy. If all goes well, I'll be able to just go on tours of duty out of the country and leave the old me behind. I'll never find the bonny irish lass I always dreamed of when I was younger, but that's okay. Some people get lucky, I just make the best of what I got.

    Sometimes I'm not sure how I feel about my relationship. Not that I'm having doubts, it's just I don't know what it means about me that I'm with someone much more attractive than me, more motivated, just generally better, who's only with me because everyone else she's relied on has failed her spectacularly.

    The only thing i give her is niceness, which is easy as I already enjoy being nice. She just can't stand harsh words, to the point where people can be overtly patronizing to her and she'll be taken in. Meanwhile, she almost always ends up doing all the cooking, cleaning and other stuff that I wouldn't even think of but hate myself for leaving for her to do.

    It's like, on one hand I feel like a hero, for treating her nicely when noone else did, but on the other had I feel like a villain, exploiting someone who's been dealt a bad hand in life.

    Well that went poorly. Oh well. I alays vaguely knew it wasn't going anywhere, but the delusion was comfortable while it lasted

    >>15827441

    This is one thing the army is excellent for. The training is designed to break you down so they can build you into the man they need. And if you're a depressed mess without any life momentum? Well, great, you're already broken down and can start from there. No matter who you are or what a failure you've made of your life thus far, it will give you achievements on an order you could rarely achieve elsewhere, a sense of camaraderie unlike any other you can find, and a sense of pride in everything that you stand and fight for. It gives you that sense of direction you need to move on, the sense of acceptance and belonging you need to feel comfortable as yourself, and the discipline to make these count. And all you have to do is sign on the line, and not quit. The army will make EVERYONE pass, whether they want to or not, and the only way to fail is to give up and walk out. Even if you only join the reserves where you're from so you can keep your civilian life rolling, you'll get everything you need to kick your arse right out of the hole you're living in.

    The army turned me from a sack of crap wasting my life away being useless and persisting in the delusion that if I sat still long enough eventually all that I wanted would somehow magically come to me into a person with a clear goal in life and the will to go out into the world and TAKE my fucking future, knowing that even if I fail I will have gone further and higher in doing so than I ever would otherwise.

    The one thing it won't give you is success in relationships. I'm still a rolling romantic disaster, but at least now that's a standout weakness instead of representative.
