This can also double as a way to make Tori giggle into her coffee cup while flipping you off anyway

oh my god

i can envision the nerd rage...

that's such an overly simplified way of putting it!!

also: referring to coffee as tea

comparing coffee to tea ever

you're all such plebs!!

none of you understand! coffee was finally how us commoners could finally REBEL against the deeply ingrained system of nobles exerting their privilege while drinking their glorified boiled leaves in fine china!

no longer did we have to deal with going without our daily beverages thanks to arrogant nobles getting preferential treatment when buying out stock!

we found a beverage we ALL could freely purchase and consume in peace, and the best thing? it's caffeine content is far stronger than tea could ever hope to be.

a fitting choice for the hard working common citizen who puts in long hours of hard work to make their living compared to your run of the mill noble who's lived off their silver spoons!!

mukky is so hilarious i love him

mukky will launch into a diatribe about the historical importance of coffee

i will never get enough of writing social justice mukky

mostly bc i don't get enough opportunities in RP to do it

Y'ALL DON'T TALK ABOUT POLITICS ENOUGH

None of Tori's noble boyfriends ever maf. Because none of their players ever maf. >:|

Noble, high class, whatever. I still count Lys as nobility because blah blah blah royal blood whatever.

dycedarg would not help machias' noble hate at all

I don't think Lysandre would either, but Dycedarg DEFINITELY wouldn't.

well then at least Machias could join Ris in the chorus of TORI WTF YOU CAN DO BETTER

"IMPLYING I DESERVE BETTER"

"YES?!"

"YES THAT IS THE POINT" -snake who has no whycon

"EXCEPT NO"

"EXCEPT YES"

in chorus with ris tbh

ris appreciating snake bc he dedicatedly, aggressively tells tori how notshit she is

"i like this man. he likes dogs and is right about tori" - ris

he could start bein all correct at u ris dont tempt him

(tempt him)

"cant... resist... taking sad young adults... under my wing! must... give... vaguely fatherly advice despite my own daddy/family issues!"

snek is a good

he is

let ris have some sort of father figure

pls

Tori cannot believe she is a good. She's trying to get better at it, but fuck is it hard.

let snake accidentally adopt another sad young adult

poor kid's most vaguely responsible adult influence (aside from her boyfriend, because, well, mukky) is goddamn tori

they can even bond over clone woes

But yes. Unite Tori's family by having at least one of her dads adopt Ris. Please.

"mr doe, how do you deal with your woes over being a clone and what it means for your humanity?"
"uh, badly,"

tmw ris hsndles cloning blues way better than every other clone she knows

i guess that could give her a lil self esteem boost?

congrats ur not handling it as badly as u could be

because honestly being a clone was an IMPROVEMENT

look at this mess twice your age, he can barely even consider himself human

because clones are still, at least on some level, human. (she's got some resentment about it - mostly the whole she can't reproduce thing - but still, human ENOUGH)

and that's better than literally being a doll

she genuinely believed for a lot of her life that she was an object, so the news that she was a clone was a step up

but she can still relate to the "can barely consider self human" thing because honestly she still has issues with the idea that oh, wait, she is, technically

anyways maybe someday snake will accidentally adopt ris

dycedarg is literally everything machias hates about the nobility and then some

dare i say it?

fucking

dycedarg

where did you come from where did you go

where did you come from dycedarg joe

he's dead, jim

Going back to the coffee vs. tea thing, isn't that how part of the lead up to the American Revolution went?

Like, England kept hiking up taxes on tea, so America was all "fuck you guys, we're drinking coffee."

that's pretty much what i was unsubtly basing this rant off of, yes, being a boston native myself.

Ahhh, gotcha

(i literally have no idea what it's like for canon but considering it's par for the course for jrpgs to unsubtly take pages out of world history...)
