I love how, because of that “Beautiful Cinnamon Roll Too Good For This World, Too Pure” Onion headline, “cinnamon roll” has become a commonly accepted phrase for “a character who is cute and kind and typically gets more pain in canon than they deserve”.
Like, we didn’t have a real phrase for that common phenomenon (wubbie maybe, but that has negative connotations ie “this character has been wubbiefied by the fandom”) and then someone used a screenshot of a headline from a satire news website to describe it, and then everyone else was like “yes good let’s use this”. You couldn’t make that shit up. I bet there are people who use that phrase now who didn’t even see that headline.
Language is evolving right before our eyes in a very weird and beautiful way and I am very very sorry for future linguist who have to puzzle this shit out.
Fun fact my boyfriend plays this game called Magic the gathering at this comic book store and I started going with him and we noticed that the other guys started saying really sexist and offensive things around me since I’m the only girl so he immediately took me home and taught me how to play so now I go there to play and beat all of them.
They spend thousands of dollars on decks to win and I picked out cards that my boyfriend already owned and made my own deck and go there and win one guy literally threw his deck in the trash and walked out of the store screaming
*sigh* manbabies
your boyfriend is helping you do the Lord’s work
As someone who often goes to cons that often hold Magic the Gathering Tournaments this couldn’t be less fake if it tried. There are many girls that play this game and the guys that are playing could honestly care less about you. Half the time they starve themselves to sit and play from start to end of game.
lookit all the eeevil me-Oh wait I see some woman there that they obviously could care less about.
Many comic stores even have starter packs for curious newbies I’ve gotten many just for inquiring. And you mighta had a chance at believability if you’d not played you HA He threw his shit away trap card. They go through hella funds for plastic sheets and custom boxes
many of which are sold and designed by female players as shown above.
So Nice try I suppose? But legit go after magic players for
more fun
Mir, this OP chick says you don’t exist. Man, I can’t believe I’ve been friends with a figment of the imagination since high school.
Oh, but if you are interested in learning Magic and there’s a store in your area that runs it, definitely ask about it. Wizard, the company that makes it, supplies free starter decks to stores to give away for free to new players. I mean sure, they’re not the Best decks, but they’re free, and give you more than enough to learn the game.
Also yes, the younger girl who stomps a lot of her opponents is a particular treat here.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
