Xeno bumbled across the spaceship, searching for his new human companion, “Jeremy?” He called, “Jeremy, I have a question!”
Jeremy appeared in the doorway, having scuttled over from the room he’d been given in the ship, “What’s up?” He asked, vague concern flashing in his eyes.
“I have been “surfing your inter webs,” Xeno began, cocking his head lightly to the side.
Jeremy let out a slow breath, “Oh god.”
“I found something, and it confuses me. You humans have a very complicated language, and your culture is very complex.”
“What did you find, Xeno?”
“Jeremy, what is a furry and why do your people hate them?”
Jeremy sighed heavily, “First of all, I don’t think they were hated? Just regularly made fun of, and that was because they were humans who would create humanoid animal ocs, and cosplay or identify as them? And uh. The community had a few. Questionable components.”
“Were you ever a furry, Jeremy?” Zeno asked, seemingly filled with genuine interest.
Jeremy quickly shook his head, “No. No it was not my cup of tea.”
Sometimes I'm forced to remember that priests are very real people who are very easy to encounter in public spaces seeing as I live in suburban Texas.
This was honestly some time ago but as with many awkward situations I think about it often, I was out with an old friend and we were sitting in a cafe that I frequent having a pleasant chat, occasionally about mental health and therapy when a priest walks in, orders his drink and begins having a quiet conversation of his own with somebody.
I was already subtly eyeing him a little because he was honestly not bad looking but then my friend nudged me and very playfully said to me "well, there's your council."
He obviously does not know about my kinks but he does know that I'm a goth queer witch who turned away from Christianity in my early teens. I just blushed a little and awkwardly said "y'know, I have a feeling he wouldn't like me very much" and took a sip of my tea.
Fun fact, I was sitting on a bench before this shoot and a cop came up to me and asked if I had a red vape in my hand (it's a no smoking area) and I had to awkwardly explain that it's just a tiny frog lmao
the asexual moment when you’re watching a movie with some friends and a kiss scene/make out scenes comes on but you can’t actually skip it because then you would have to explain yourself.🥲 just me?
