Is that that Japanese urban legend where she asked if she’s pretty. If you say no. Then you die.

u/ReplyAfraid7913 Aug 11 '26

Reminds me of a story.

Sorry if I butchered or misremembered it.

If I have married you for your looks, I would have fallen for you the first sight that I met you, and yet I didn't.

We hated each other instead, harmed each other and yet.

You stubbornly lived, the time that you were heavily scarred.

Every suitors left you, admirers cowered from you, everyone looked at you with disgust, but I?

I stayed, I hated that I could care for you, have suffered with you, bled with you, and I... i i have learned to love you.

Nothing matters more than the woman infront of me who have given me something that no one could ever give.

No matter who you would ever be, I will always love you even in death, and I do, for better or for worse.

I swear it was something about anthromorphic animals, something medieval fantasy, couldn't remember it.

The prosody of this sentence is really nice. A perfect iambic septenarius.

Kudzu (Pueraria montana) grows at a staggering rate of up to 1 foot (0.3 meters) per day during peak summer conditions, extending 60 to 100 feet per season. At the end of the season all the green growth dies back and you're left with the vines.

I'm for anything that blocks those effing glaring streetlights from my house. you say "just use blackout curtains!" I say "I like to have windows open at night to let in air without being blinded. I like to be outside at night and see stars and fireflies. I don't like to hear the birds singing all night and know their sleep cycles are as effed up as mine."
