I dunno, dude. Look at Romantic fans of Byronic heroes and you can definitely find creepy, obsessive "truly we were soulbonded" types a lot farther back than you think.

And people have been making fun of them a lot farther back too, just look at Don Quixote.

Isn't this basically the idea behind Last Action Hero?

What if our world is just an anime for another higher-level world?

I bet you could get her to bathe if you took her to a Japanese-style hot spring bathhouse.

For those that don't know, Drow are basically dark Elves. They live underground and are evil, and generally nobody trusts them. And yes they are black. Drow were made popular in a series of books and ever since everyone in any game vaguely related to D&D wants to play as Drizzt, the main character of that book. I've never read it but I can only assume that Drizzt is equal parts ultimate bad-rear end and brooding emo.

If a storyline isn't going underground then there really isn't a ton of reason for a Drow to be involved, and even then they are probably going to appear as enemies. It probably took some shoehorning to explain why he would even encounter the other characters and why they wouldn't fight each other to the death. Then there's the whole half-vampire thing...

I'm planning on naming my son Oedipus, I just hope he doesn't try to kill me over it someday.

Is there a reason people do the jars of urine thing? I don't get that at all.

My understanding is that it's mostly a paranoia thing, rather than wanting to admire their jar collection or anything like that. They think someone wants to steal their urine, or maybe they think they have been drugged and want to hold onto the evidence. Real-deal schizo type of stuff.

My first crush was Kermit the Frog, and until proven wrong (oh god please don't) I am going to cling to the belief that no one has inappropriately sexual thoughts about him :ohdear:
