Last night, I dreamed that a fictional character told me that I didn't watch One Piece in the middle of a supermarket
I got so mad at him that I woke up

Reasons I'd be a good Dating Sim Protagonist:

• I'm much more reactive than proactive
• I'm quiet, so yall can talk as much as ya like
• I quickly remember what people like and don't like

Reasons I'd be a bad Dating Sim Protagonist:

• I'm indecisive
• I want to be friends with all of them gotta catch 'em all
• It takes much longer for me to develop deep emotions with others

These are important things to know about yourself

The fact that there're so many gaps in Irish mythology makes me unreasonably sad. Like, in the myths there were these all powerful, nature controlling, beasts/people/spirits that were constantly at war with the people, but there's almost no description of them. No one wrote down why they were at war, what they looked like, anything. My thirst for story intensifies when that stuff is just missing.

Well now you gotta list your reasons lmao

It's the same with Norse mythology! There are so many gods and goddesses that have been erased from time, and it's sad.

YO
New manga idea

They probably assumed it would always be that way. That it would be taught in school and the mythical creatures would still walk among us.

• These personality details can help you understand why you behave the way you do in certain situations
• They can also help you navigate friendships/relationships with more confidence and control
• Knowing your own weak points makes it much easier to work on them and improve
• It can give you a better idea of the types of people you're most compatible with
• If anyone ever asks you to star in an irl dating sim, you'll be ready XDD

The thing is the ancient Celts didn't write down anything. Everything we know about Irish mythology has come from Catholic Missionaries writing it down for Research Purposes™, so everything is also based on their interpretation of it.

I love finding anthems for my OCs and the newest one is Imagine Dragons’ Dream for my guy Diego (rip)

It still is. Granted I don't know much, but stories that I have heard from some of my Irish buddies, have never been written down. For them, it's like their biggest secrets. Stories that have and will never be written down. It's a pride thing. There are some that I know, but I'm not at liberty to tell them. I value their family tradition, and I value their honor code. I'm not going to disrespect that. (Plus, I'm sure they know how to hide a body where it would never be found… 😂) For mythical creatures, I can give you this. They associate eye colors and hair colors and hair types with beings. For example, green eyes, and curly brown hair, are associated with wild forest nymphs. (Not the wisps, they find that an offensive mistake…) While short brown or black hair that's pin straight, and big brown eyes are associated with Selkies. If you want to know what kind of mythical being they'd associate you with just let me know and I can give it a shot. But no guarantees on what I can do 😂

That's very intriguing??? Do you know what straight blondish hair and dark blue eyes might be associated with? Asking for a friend

Oooo that's shnazzy. What about grey (or blue) eyes with wavy brown hair?

Brown eyes and curly/wavy brown or black hair?

Curly-ish brown hair with eyes that for some reason change between the colors green, grey, and blue?

wavy blond hair and green eyes? also asking for a friend

Well, looks like I'm associated with a Selkie I guess
can Selkies be male? or is it an all-female type of deal?

Selkie means seal folk, so yes. Also:

"Male selkies are described as being very handsome in their human form, and having great seductive powers over human women. They typically seek those who are dissatisfied with their lives, such as married women waiting for their fishermen husbands."

Ah, nice. Definitely not me, but that's still cool to know.

@Young-Dusty Blondish hair and blue eyes- merrow (their equivalent of a siren)
@Owen wavy brown hair and grey/blue eyes mountain nymph (they like to crush people with rocks if they destroy their home)
@Ash-has-a-One-Piece-problem brown hair and brown eyes, you sound like a selkie to me. You have the cool one.
@Dragongirl2468 Curly-ish brown hair with eyes that change between green, grey, and blue Deep forest nymphs ( they only emerge when found or a child gets lost. They don't like to show up period. Very rare.)
@south-is-a-tad-bit-enraged wavy blonde hair with green eyes would be like a spriggen. (Sprite for all you people, very whimsy. Like a fairy.)
@RedTheHopeless yes selkies can be male. They are referred to as Huldras. Or at least, that's what I've been taught.

Oh people with black hair and very dark blue eyes are kinda revered and disliked? (Not like disliked disliked, but people are very wary. They are believed to be the embodiment of wisps.)
