Anyone for random non-sex (but occasionally sex) chat on the thread here?

So @MiaBabe23 , you mentioned that you were trying to be good through Halloween?! Does that mean you have some good plans? A sexy costume?? Inquiring minds want to know. 😁

And while I generally try to be a force for order and for good, sometimes your loyal Alchemist comes down on the side of chaos. I told you when I first joined the court that I have tendency to misbehave, lol!!

All that is to say, I know we aren't *supposed* to lead you into temptation, but I'm just going to leave this here. 😈
Oh my word, cheeky Alchemist, you want your co-queen to have you on your knees like that?
I fear all points made previously to our tease Guardsman Rafe would lose all validity

Yes. And yes. 😁

I confess, certain aspects of my integrity flag in the face of dire temptation. I generally manage to hold it together, but my imagination runs wild!
 
Evening, Court!

I've been naughty all afternoon, so I thought I'd share something more thoughtful. I think this is true!

Very interesting idea
I know it’s a bit of hyperbole, but personally, I think our emotions have evolved. Selflessness, idealism, reflection, profound empathy etc - not to suggest our hunter-gatherer ancestors had none of that, but I think it was much more fleeting quantities

I take your point. I don't know if I agree that selflessness, idealism, reflection, and empathy are emotions, though. They strike me as reason being applied to, and admittedly influencing, emotion.

I don't know if the basics have changed much, though.

In any case, I found it interesting!
 
And regarding mischievous Alchemist’s penalty - I attempted it, but the number was beyond me rn
It would have required a minute and a half wallsit, and forty press ups
I managed just over a minute, and 22 - after that, my form was all over the place, and probably was before that
Is an attempt enough lol?

I feel like this would constitute more cause and effect.

Definitely interesting!
And maybe; I think empathy and idealism are, and I would argue selflessness is
But even if we categorize them as thought, I think they so alter emotions and our responses to them, that it renders them qualitatively different
Would a hunter-gather have queued? Given away their last morsel? Made another laugh for no reason?

Your attempt more than satisfies the penalty, my Queen. ❤️

I couldn't do a minute and a half, either! When I started doing the wallsits again (inspired by you and others here doing them), my thighs were so sore it impacted certain recreational activities, lol. 😉

Thank you, mischievous Alchemist
And ouch to that!

Are you still doing them?

And if those basics have led us to create god-like technology in spite of our mediaeval institutions (and they really aren't nowadays - they're either much older or much newer), doesn't that show they've stood us in pretty good stead?

As did I, and thank you for posting.

I would submit that that there are many among us that hold the opinion that homo sapiens are full evolved and that we've created the best of all possible worlds. Our critical thinking shows that our ability to reason has evolved slowly over the millennia, yet our ability to use and invent new tools has evolved at a more accelerated rate. During the past two hundred years, our ability to harness nature and change the human condition has led to accelerated population growth and significant environmental degradation. Yet, our societies still cling to pre-medieval beliefs about our origins, moralities, and ethics. This does not bode well for the continuance of the best of all possible worlds.
 
Good morning Court members.

I am pleased to report that the forces of goodness and light prevailed in the season's final battle at the house of Ruth. It was another classic seesaw skirmish where the pinstriped soldiers took a commanding early lead, yet faltered mid-battle. The battlefield advantage shifted again and again. But in the end, the boys in blue reign victorious to the astounding delight to many of us in my corner of the realm.

This Serving Wench was busy serving and consuming copious quantities of bubbly fermented liquid grapes with toasts. 🥂

Hooray! I saw that they won last night, and I was thinking about you. 😊

Good morning, everyone!

Your royal Alchemist wishes you a Happy Halloween! I will try my best to maintain more decorum than I did yesterday. No guarantees, though. Halloween has a way of exciting my imagination! It must be the close proximity of all the worlds we can't usually see... 👻💀👽

Hugs to the Court! I'll stop by later, I'm sure. 🫂😘
