Combat Tip: Do not get impalled #CombatTipsWithDuellist
This is almost always true~. Unless~.~.~.
That is what I said
No. There is no unlless.
I did but it was strategic
Gods can afford to ignore certain llogics.
You'd rather be the imapler~? #Suggestive
I have been impalled and it is bad In my experience. Why hast thou tagged suggestive
"gett1ng 1mpaled 1s easy, gett1ng out of 1t though 1s annoy1ng"
I know. I never got out.
More ★nd more I find myself dr★wn to the ide★ of knights (not sgrub). Th★t level of devotion ★nd c★re to someone spe★ks to me.
Drawn to them in appreciation, or desire to be llike them?
Both, I suppose?
I see. The way of llife has it's appeall. I have llived (and unllived) it for centuries. Devotion is all that I trully know.
It's ★n honor★ble w★y to live, though I fe★r I m★y be looking ★t it through ★ very rom★nticized lens.
There is such a thing as too much devotion, I fear. One may be bllinded by their own steadfast resollve to service. It is... a dangerous mindset, when not grounded.
꧁An Alternian's Guide to Intercourse Hygiene A practical guide to bulges, nooks, and other anatomical mysteries This guide assumes adult trolls engaging consensually. Troll anatomy is notoriously inconsistent, so when confronted with an unfamiliar organ, cavity, gland, membrane, tentacle, valve, or ominously pulsating structure, the first rule is simple: do not assume you know what it does. Ask its owner. I've seen thousands of bulges, maybe millions. None are the same. Before Intercourse Wash your hands. Soap and water are preferable. Pay particular attention beneath claws or fingernails. Discuss anatomy beforehand. Ask which structures are sensitive, which are penetrative, which can be penetrated, and which absolutely should not be touched. Trim and smooth sharp nails. A freshly clipped claw can be sharper than one you left alone. Clean external anatomy with warm water. Mild, unscented soap can be used on ordinary exterior skin, but avoid putting soap inside nooks, sheaths, vents, or other mucous membranes. Do not aggressively scrub bulges. Delicate membranes do not become more hygienic with rugburn. Remove sharp jewelry from hands, bulges, nook-adjacent anatomy, or anywhere else likely to experience friction. Check for cuts, sores, unusual discharge, swelling, parasites, or unexplained discoloration. Postpone intercourse if something appears wrong. Bulges should be treated like a sensitive external or partially retractable genital tissue. Wash the outside gently with warm water. If the bulge retracts into a sheathe or similar structure, clean only as far as can be comfortably exposed without forcing it open. Avoid perfumes, disinfectants, rubbing alcohol, bleach, industrial degreasers, antiseptic wipes, and 'medicinal' alternatives. If natural lubrication from bulge excretion it not sufficient, use a body-safe lubricant. Friction injuries can be small, and ultimately infected. If multiple partners or orifices are involved, clean the bulge or change barriers before moving between them. A bulge that suddenly becomes painful, markedly swollen, persistently retracted, persistently extended, strangely colored, numb, or nonresponsive should be evaluated by your mediculler. Nook Hygiene A nook is largely self-maintaining. Do not douche it. Internal washing can disrupt whatever microbiome, pH balance, mucus layer, fungal colony, symbiotic microorganism, or other safeguards your body has adapted. These keep the nook functioning normally. Clean the external nook and surrounding folds with warm water. Mild unscented cleanser may be appropriate. After intercourse, urination may help reduce urinary irritation for trolls whose urinary anatomy communicates with the same general region. Normal secretions can vary significantly. More concerning signs include: Persistent foul or dramatically changed odor New itching or burning Green, gray, bloody, or otherwise unusual discharge Significant pelvic or abdominal pain Sores, ulcers, blisters, or unexplained growths Fever When in doubt, consult a mediculler rather than attempting to sterilize the problem yourself. Regarding lubrication, use it whenever there is substantial friction. Reapply as necessary. Do not ignore friction pain. Barriers are appropriate for some anatomy. Change these barriers when switching partners, orifices, or both. Never reuse a barrier. Anything entering somebody's nook, sheath, cloaca, or other internal structure should be clean and smooth. Wash reusable toys based off of their component structure. Nonporous materials are generally easier to sanitize than porous ones. Silicone needs toy cleanser. If sharing a toy between partners, wash it or place a new barrier over it between users. Do not move something directly from an anus or waste-processing opening into a nook without thoroughly cleaning it first. And if an object was manufactured for construction, cooking, FLARP combat, dentistry, automotive repair, or military service, it probably should not be inserted into anybody. Sometimes your partner will possess something that is neither obviously a bulge nor a nook. We have seen all of these through my bulge ratings, one way or another. So here's my examples. Possible examples include: Retractable tentacular structures Secondary bulges Multiple nooks Cloacal arrangements Inflatable tissue Barbed structures Scent glands Graspers Hemolymph-filled erectile tissue Temporary mating-season anatomy Structures that fluoresce ominously when stimulated In these circumstances: Ask before touching. Find out whether the structure can safely experience pressure, penetration, suction, friction, twisting, or prolonged stimulation. Never force open a closed structure. Never pull on something simply because it extends. If something becomes stuck, painfully swollen, loses circulation, begins bleeding significantly, or refuses to return to its ordinary configuration, stop intercourse and seek medical attention. Aftercare and Cleanup After intercourse: Remove barriers carefully. Wash external anatomy gently with warm water. Urinate if appropriate to your anatomy. Drink some water. Clean toys and reusable equipment. Change bedding if bodily fluids have accumulated substantially. Check for unexpected abrasions or bleeding. Ask your partner whether anything hurts. Minor temporary sensitivity can be normal. Persistent pain is not. Things You Should Never Put on a Bulge or in a Nook Unless specifically prescribed by a qualified troll physician: Rubbing alcohol Hydrogen peroxide Household disinfectant Bleach Perfume Essential oils Toothpaste Deodorant Strongly scented soap Engine lubricant Weapon oil Faygo syrup Grub disinfectant Industrial slime cleanser Your genitals are not a countertop. The Universal Rule Whether dealing with one bulge, two bulges, a nook, several nooks, a cloaca, a retractable tentacle apparatus, or some grotesque highblood reproductive organ apparently designed by natural selection during a personal crisis: Keep it clean, keep it lubricated, use barriers when appropriate, do not cross-contaminate body openings, communicate with its owner, and stop when something hurts. #NSFW #SafePailing #SafeINterCourse #SexualHealth #Hygiene #TrollAnatomy #NonlinearAnatomy #AdaptiveBiology #AlienBiology #TrollianBiology꧂
This is more compllicated than I had anticipated. Valluablle knowlledge.
For an individuall to enter one my mine quads most sought after, they must face a triall befitting of the quadrant of choice. Evocative and powerfull haiku for matespritship. Triall by combat for kismesissitude. An exercise of synchronicity and cameradery for moiraillgeance. Sage advice for auspesticism. Onlly a master of the lloving arts coulld hope to compllete all four - and yet.
and yet, there 1s and has been only 1 to be a master of all 4 quadrants for you
It is llike... some form of Avatar... for romance...

Oh this is even worse than that time I died
Fellow trolls be honest with me Would you date a human person (People already dating human persons need not apply)
No.
You wouldn't date anyone except your Lady, Duellist.
Correct. And she is not a human.
Wake me when the conversation turns to the culling of the highblloods. #Viollence, and whatnot.
Sooo.. be the change you'd wish to see in tha world...
I wish for the conversation to turn unto such a horizon? It woulld be interesting. I cannot say I am invested in the outcome. You have not "got" me.
I have posted on the topic enough in my time. It is time to, perhaps, llet the new generation take up the mantlle.
I think someone who is... allive is better suited to lleadership.
Shoulld one find themsellf waging war against forces llead by viollets, something that may work (perhaps as a llast resort for those lless confident in their abillities) is challenging the Viollet to a duell. Many have this insipid, intollerablle pride or sense of honor that is, in truth, a mask for a superiority compllex the size of an imperiall battllecruiser. Shoulld one prove capablle of winning said duell, you have cut the head off of the command structure of their forces, and may either snuff out the rest, or make a hasty retreat depending on circumstances. This is, as it happens, the manner in which I was branded with mine titlle. It worked with such consistency and frequency that my methods became a matter of notoriety among the enemy footsolldiers.
While I am immediately inclined to diſagree, every laſt bit of this is true.
There are of course exceptions. This woulld not have worked on she whom raised me from youth, the Shackller Barbette. But the average Viollet is so consumed in the internall pollitics of the upper castes, and a need to prove onesellf the superior, they are easilly made to bite upon this hook.
She and I are on great terms, mind you. So often I see versions of myself lamenting their own failed relationships, and while I empathize, the issue with my marriage was never the fact that Kanaya and I did not get along. We always got along. The issue was that she is one of the first ~20 women I ever met, and the only one who clicked with me in that special way through those formative years of my life. We were, in our own way, all each other had. And that means very little when your planets are gone. But sometimes you realize that someone you thought you loved as a partner is just a friend you confused your feelings for because you had no other choice. I am not saying this is the case for every Rose and Kanaya out there — I know so many of them have a genuine and honest love. But that is not what ours was, and as far as the two of us are concerned, that is completely fine.
I have seen simillar bonds form in the regiments. When bound by circumstance, passion, and camaraderie, emotions become compllicated. Many solldiers bellieved they were in llove, but were not... necessarilly a match. Gods onlly know why they woulld then come to me for advice. It does not mean the bond was not reall, or deeplly meaningfull. Simplly that it's nature was perhaps obfuscated or misidentified.

Hark~! Who else is up, polishing their blade~? #Suggestive #OfWeaponMaintenance #ShiningMyShaft #PolishingMyPole #BuffingMyBlade #MyHalberd
I, of course, allways ensure to give mine instrument it's dues.
I dare say no one's blade is more well-worn than yours~~~~.
And yet, despite five hundred sweeps of regullar and rigorous use, they remain immacullate. A true warrior cares for their toolls, as I am sure you know well.
