The only people that lack of sex seems to bother is those that aren't.
I'm not a virgin, but I couldn’t care less about sex. Too much work for a few minutes of pleasure, in my opinion. I get more satisfaction out of going to the range and letting a few hundred rounds loose.
New Idea! A bucket with a hole in the bottom, so the liquid held in it will spill out! I call it a "fucket" because it's like the bucket just doesn't care.
wow this is going to have me thinking for a good long time. a truly grate chapter with more wisdom then most will ever glean. I am speaking from xp here when I say I have spent 25 years of tartarus in a marriage that is more like a prison. but I have 2 grate children out of Sade marriage.
I am super interested in ware this story is going.
YOU DIDN'T GIVE US A WARNING ABOUT NO SEX! HOW DARE YOU!!
Great chapter, I was looking forward to this and you didn't even go with cliched immediate makeup sex. It takes a few minutes to kick in from my experience.
Or as happened with my ex you walk in on her trying to solo it and then just help out... I miss my ex.
A clopfic with deep underlying philosophical statements about our preoccupations with the course of events' endings rather than their processes, and the essence of our enjoyment of life?
This was a deep chapter, and I loved every second of it. I mean really, how many clopfics actually have a plot and touch on deep, heavy-set topics like this? A few, but out of all the one's I've read so far, none have done it better than this one. I wish I could fav this all over again multiple times.
Huah, I think I feel like I should send people a link to this part of the chapter, because it seems like it's about the old commitment debate happening again. What Lionel says makes sense in the whole "stop trying to look for things and what you want you'll eventually find" kind of way.
By the way:
But if you’re honestly too scared of commitment than ‘marriage, death, break up’ are the only things you can think of when you look at your partner, then you’re not even ready for a relationship. You’re not even in love. You’re just obsessed. If you actually wanted a relationship, you’d be content to just enjoy the time you had together until it stopped being fun or you found someone better.
Fixed: But if you’re honestly too scared of commitment that ‘marriage, death, break up’ are the only things you can think of when you look at your partner, then you’re not even ready for a relationship. You’re not even in love. You’re just obsessed. If you actually wanted a relationship, you’d be content to just enjoy the time you had together until it stopped being fun or you found someone better.”
I think you need to use the word "THAT" in that part of the paragraph, author.
Enjoyed the story thus far, but this chapter was poorly done I think. Has Lionel ever talked to a woman before? Ever? He walks in on Rainbow who is obviously hurting, and his solution is to explain to her why she's wrong? WTF? Here's a hint Lionel, it doesn't matter if she's wrong, ignore that. Work around it. Commiserate with her. Understand her, but don't try to deconstruct what she's feeling, at least not until she's in a different state of mind.
5312931 No, the argument is that the author set up a good heart to heart and we got "You're stupid, Dash, and your feelings are wrong". Complete with a fortune cookie at the end.
And "Fuck Sympathy"? An interesting approach that will certainly work on some women, but generally not the kind that test clean for STDs.
5311305 I don't think you're right about Lionel's approach to Rainbow Dash's feelings. If she were a "girly girl" I imagine your way would work. But she isn't. She's a tomboy; meaning you talk to her like she's a dude, but with the understanding that she's a girl. The work around her feelings bit is not going to work. He needed to be blunt on why her overwhelmingly pessimistic view was clearly not making a lick of sense, and obviously making her outright miserable, relationship-wise anyway.
Also,
it doesn't matter if she's wrong, ignore that.
Are you serious? I'm supposed to ignore the fact that the hypothetical "she" is wrong just to spare her feelings? Screw that nonsense. That's just stupid. If she's wrong, I'm going to tell her.
I'm not going to be an ass about it, like "hey bitch, you're fucking retarded", but if they're wrong, I'm going to -as politely as I possibly can- tell them why they're wrong.
About facts anyway. Feelings are another matter entirely.
My opinion is if you look at everything negatively, how the hell can you expect to live a happy life?
I'm digressing, but I hope you get what I'm trying to say.
Mixed feeling. As a man right after sucky breakup i kind of agree with Lionel, but some of the things he says are just weird and/or plainly suicidal. My girlfriend was a bit like RD - obsessing over marriage, very reluctant to just roll with the flow and i felt that his bibble story is quite fitting. He was right about confronting her - she did mess it up quite badly, but to me it just sounds he wants to have a personal cock receptacle. Saying "I want to do you" with a listing of intercourses to a heartbroken, insecure and lost in her own feelings girl is a great way to have a door shut in your face. To me he came out like a total douchebag, masking his lust with touchy-feely wisdom. While it is immensely important to enjoy the moment, it seems to me like he is interested in just one way of enjoying it.
I might bashed it a wee much, but this chapter felt off
5429645 I don't blame you for how you received the chapter. There is a lot of heavy and potentially heavier shit about relationships and experiences. It's one thing to read it and another to actually be the author of it.
My solution to the old man's syrup and spoon order would to have been to swallow the syrup, lick the spoon clean, and then not have to worry about dropping any of it, because I'm the syrup receptacle, rather than the spoon. Much, much sweeter too!
I still go back and read this chapter every now and then, to remind myself of how unhealthy it is to live like Dash does in this story. Very good story!
For someone who always enjoys the moment, that outlook is more than bleak. Wonder what made her think like that in the first place

Well... that's a bit depressing.
Lionel, get out of there before EmoDash gets you sucked in!
What the fuck is a bibble?
5307990
A Dash-ism.
5307990 Dash doesn't give a crap about human things, so she called it a bibble instead of bible
New Idea! A bucket with a hole in the bottom, so the liquid held in it will spill out! I call it a "fucket" because it's like the bucket just doesn't care.
*headesk* Oiii.... Dash...
I kinda understand Dash here, as that's almost identical to my own outlook on life.
Commence read.
That is some crazy syrup.
5307990 I don't think she knows either.
wow this is going to have me thinking for a good long time.

What type of syrup was it?
Enjoyed this chapter, heartfelt talk was pretty nice.

Fuck sympathy. Your argument is basically: The guy is always wrong! The girl is the victim!
No, fuck that bullshit.
Fuck it to HELL and back.
I am really hope that rainbow dash will go for Lionel at the end of the chapter.

Things we all must contemplate.
Lol. I like how this word was barely mentioned in the entire story, or not at all. But the one time I saw it, it was spelled wrong. Just earned a small chuckle outta me. (and an excuse to use this)

I know this is waaaay off topic but I fucking love that song! METALLICA FOR LIFE!
