What if they want to wear a necklace or wristband instead?

I'd probably not wear a ring as well in protest and show him how often people flirt with me....

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Except for pain and gain, I have a soft spot for that one tbh

[dunya]

Why don't you like science fiction?

I like fantasy, but science fiction often flies over my head. I'm not smart enough to enjoy it.

I always preferred history over science at school so fantasy with historical elements is my fav.

[dunya]

Idk theres some pretty bad art

There's actually a really cool dali museum in Saint pete, this reminds me I need to get back there some time!

Give me bad art example

If you go, pls take pics and share with the rest of class!!!

Well there's a lot of like...sexist or racist or homophobic art, so that stuff

Also Michael Bay movies

Damn. I stand corrected.

Some art sucks!!

Sci fi is just fantasy in space and/or with time travel

He'd probably already know how often people do that...

Sci fi is just fantasy in space and/or with time travel

It's harder for me to imagine space fiction since it's a setting I've never been close to I suppose. And there's a lot of technical stuff. Like I did Spacedaisys star trek themed rpg for a while and was the social doctor with a tab of technical spaceship terms I don't understand open at all times

Look. Listen. I'm dumb as rocks and sci-fi is cool beans. You're just getting trapped by the people who get rowdy over the esoteric. There's plenty of "low brow" sci-fi to enjoy.

You are going to LOVE the Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, then!!

Have you done any other RPing?

This implies that you have been to middle earth

Dunia is an elf confirmed

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

But yeah what syn said, there's tons of sci fi where the sci part just gets handwaved away the same way magic does in a lot of fantasy stuff

[dunya]

Not including meet and greets hmmm

I was at a hair salon getting highlights and Asala Nasri was there and complimented my hair

You probably don't know her, she's a famous middle eastern singer.

[dunya]

Give me a movie/show or book recommendation that fits the bill.

Yeah, when I was a teen I signed up to shards forum based rpg where you create characters and go into various settings and play with other characters.

Nerdiest thing I've ever done. More than cataloguing music.

I am observing your slandering of this excellent hobby and judging accordingly.

[dunya]

I just called it nerdy! No slander. Only truths.

Give me a movie/show or book recommendation that fits the bill.

Ursula k le guin has some good sci fi books that I recall being approachable for serious readers that aren't sci fi fans. I don't remember the order you're supposed to read them in offhand but left hand of darkness and the dispossessed. I recall hitchhikers guide to the galaxy fitting the bill well (both the movie and the book). Asimov is an acquired taste but a lot of his stuff is focused more around philosophical/ethical concerns rather than the specific made up science, nemesis and a lot of his other short stories in particular.

For movies/tv...well doctor who is a classic entry point for a lot of people, and is pretty accessible...star wars of course...perhaps not stereotypical sci fi but the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is an excellent movie

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Theres a Russian director whose name im blanking on that made some excellent sci fi movies

[NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME]

Tartovsky is who I'm thinking of. Solaris in particular.

His movies are amazing and also incredibly slow paced

Le guin is amaaaaaazing especially those two yeah, her stuff is super thought provoking and has so many beautifully crafted sentences

[Urist]

Battlestar Galactica is a classic sci-fi watch for mafia players. :P
