unpopular opinions

Do you think people are too sensitive? Or that Superman isn't so super? Think cats aren't cute? The Beatles are overrated? Love pineapple on pizza? Maybe you just don't like chips rly. Even the best of us have some controversial opinions. Let people know what a monster you are.

Oh no! Are you okay? I'm a doctor, I can help with lingering aches and pains.

I'm fine now, I just had a frame refit. I have absolutely no scars. It's amazing. But thank you for offering!

I'm just pointing out that recliners don't cause this problem. I always knew where the rocking chair was when I sat down, but once it moved, because my husband is twice my size and the chair moved when he sat down. The Terror Twins were doing something worrisome, so I wasn't paying attention. Honestly... he probably was much more upset about it than I was.

We got rid of the rocking chair.

Ah. I guess that's not something I think about, since I've been living on my own ever since medical school... come to think of it, the other person I know who loves rocking chairs doesn't have a tail and lives alone, too. This is definitely something to think about if I get married.

Not... not that that'll happen for a while. I'm still at the 'working up the courage to ask him out' part. But mammals don't normally date amphibians, so... it's a little hard to work up the courage to ask. [Please give him romantic advice, o married one.]

Ask him out!

If you like him enough that you think you could end up married (we call it conjunxed), don't wait! I may have a lot of opinions on this because we waited a really, really long time and we shouldn't have, given all the times that we could have been killed in the wars.

You already know that your frame type and function have nothing to do with each other and being an amphibian hasn't stopped you from being an excellent doctor.

Chances are, he knows that it doesn't matter much in any other respect. If he likes you for who you are, it won't matter a bit. If he doesn't, it's better to find that out now and get over him.

[um. Ravage just remembers his own youth wasn't so fun.]

Of course, if there are laws against it, which would be stupid, you'll have to be careful? But you don't seem like you come from a place that would have laws like that.

I hope.

Seriously, though. The sooner you ask him out, the sooner you get to the kissing part.

I think he likes me for who I am. We spend a lot of time together, and he's really nice, and artsy, and fun to hang out with. He's a bit of a workaholic, so people can get the impression he's standoffish, but once you get to know him he's very kind. And he likes bugs, just like I do! He has an ant farm and everything.

There aren't any laws against it. We're an independent island, so we can make our own laws. A koala and a bear on the island are dating. I think the tanuki and dog who run the island have feelings for each other, too. But they're all mammals dating other mammals. I'm a frog. I'm the only amphibian on the island.

And, well, what if I'm just not cool enough for someone to want to date me?

If he's a standoffish type and he's already spending that amount of time with you, he already thinks you're cool. I'm sure you know, as a doctor, that some people aren't interested in falling in love or interfacing with other people, but that wouldn't mean you're not cool, it would just be the way he is.

He's probably asking himself the same questions. He might think you want to be with another frog. He might be worried about how it would work, physically. Sometimes it's a challenge when your body is very different from that of your partner, and I know that organic people like you can't get frame refits to make it easier. But you're a doctor, so you can reassure him that whatever you do will be safe.

[Ravage remembers that organics make sparklings when they interface and grow them inside their own bodies, which he will always think is weird and kind of terrifying. Sometimes newsparks form that way in legends and/or romance novels, but even then you have to put them into protoforms.]

I don't know if it will affect whether or not you can have offspring, but if you want them and you can't, you can adopt them.

...just discuss it with your partner first? Don't bring anyone home to raise without asking.
