The sheer number of people mistaking me for @systlin in my inbox at the moment is astounding so let me make it easier for some of you.
@systlin : plant witch who raises bees and has a whole host of other terrifyingly awesome skills
me: the witch who is allergic to all nature and cannot go outside because even though I don’t believe in gods, the bastards still have a sick sense of humor.

I keep mistaking vaspider for systlin
Ok but:
- I live by a river that non-locals always mispronounce, the Schuylkill
- Am fully average in height, not at all jacked
- Have 3 dogs, which are like cats but also not
- Extremely Jewish, but will cut a bitch over white supremacists in Asatru bc that’s my ancestry
- I am not the person in my family who has been challenged to an actual duel – that would be @dadhoc
- Horny On Main for Battlestar Galactica
See? Very different.
Did they accept the duel challenge? :O
Me; Not Jewish
@vaspider; Very Jewish, also runs a very excellent store selling dope-ass Queer Stuff
@gallusrostromegalus I’M ONLY 5′ 8″ YOU ARE THINKING OF MY 6′ 5″ BROTHER
Which one(s) of you all have the terrifying rose? @systlin, right?
Both of us actually, but mines is called Demon Rose cause unlike Systlin who manages to somewhat contain hers, mine has taken over that side of the house.
Actually I ALSO have a demon rose, but mine has only destroyed the garage, not invaded the house.
@galwayghost They said “bring it on” bc they’ve actually got a working knowledge of bladed weaponry – and if that person wanted to literally duel them over queer issues in Star Trek, they could.
It, uh, somehow didn’t happen. 🤷♂️
@galwayghosy @vaspider no wasn’t the fuel incident the congressman who challenged some politician or activist to a duel and then systlin accepted the duel on their behalf? Or were there two duel incidents?
@dadhoc was challenged to a duel over queerness in a Star Trek RPG. This is different from @systlin accepting a duel challenge from a congressman.
Hilariously, I was challenged at a time in my life when I was working at the Minnesota Renaissance Festival, was certified in stage combat for rapier & dagger, rapier and buckler, broadsword, and spear. I was also fencing saber, and participating in a recreationist martial arts group studying Capo Ferro. So my response to being challenged to a duel was to laugh and suggest claymore at dawn. Cos I was 6’8" tall and built like a linebacker, and he… probably couldn’t have lifted the damn things, yet alone wield it with any skill.
All off this because I insisted the betazoid Imzadi bond could exist between same sex people.
He held the ridiculous notion that the bond was an aid to procreation, which went against the thematic truth that the great houses of Betazed married for genetic compatability to ensure psionic offspring, and romantic relations outside of marriage were not at all taboo.
It remains a highlight of ridiculous cishet men in fandom being wrong about literally everything.
