THE TERRIBLE ADVICE MEME

i. Top level with a character and a short problem or scenario for which they'd like advice, input or dis/encouragement. This can be as light ('Garum haunts my dreams,' 'I think my party companion is trying to buy my soul') or serious ('How do I make friends 500 years into tragic immortality?' ) as you like.

ii. Mention in their comment header if they are signed-in or anonymous + content warn as due!

iii. Comment around, troubleshoot woe, give everyone the gift of your character's wisdom this holiday season! Or embrace your inner chaos and make this advice tragically terrible.

Make a move and see what happens.

[ Would she take her own advice on this matter? Hell no. But, this person should. ]

[nothinglikefather]

and if he killls me? i gues tht wolud be a cure fore blueballs .

[damnable]

Try to give them blue balls back. Turnabout's fair play.

[nothinglikefather]

Now THAT is an idea!

[damnable]

Hey, happy to help. Then if they can't resist, you kinda got your answer right there. The real question comes down to... then how talented you could be at creating the blue balls situation for your boss?

[nothinglikefather]

thats tje problem hes got somerone
i meanits not a problem for him
but makes it harder for me

[damnable]

if he's got someone, why's he out here giving you blue balls? seems rude unless he's into poly stuff, which should be like communicated openly for all involved.

What kind of stuff does he do that makes you think he's leading you on?

[nothinglikefather]

polly?

he grins and he lauhs and he drinks with me and then he has this cutsey nickname he uses for me i think but hes not spwaking english when he uses it, and he laughs like hes goting to kill peopel

and its maddening

[damnable]

Polyamorous. It means you can be in relationships with multiple people at once. It just takes communication and lots of it, and everybody consenting to the situation, of course.

You ever ask him what the cutesy nickname means?

[nothinglikefather]

and thats a thing where you come from? hells bells

fuck no. what if its embarassing?

[damnable]

For some people. Obviously, most are not into it and more into monogamy, and then there's some that think it's wrong and all that. But y'know, live and let live... or love and let love, in this case.

What if it's not, and you get your answers? You know what language it's in?

[nothinglikefather]

i think we haveb oth sorts at home, the polymonogamy and the regular type but i dont think anyhone is talking about trhe first one.

what if it si and it's the worst? and I dunno, some sort of chinease.

[damnable]

Then at least you know. It might cure your blue balls if it is the worst. Now every time you get called that then it snaps you right out of it again.

There's probably people in the group who know Chinese. Maybe ask someone else who knows the language and see what they say. Then you can know the truth without dealing with the embarrassing part of your boss knowing you... know.
