The long awaited sequel.

It turns out the True Riddle was "How do you build a child's confidence?"

As the New Sphynx grew, so did her love for those who were paitent, thoughtful, and kind. She began accepting a diversity of answers to her riddles, and would let a traveler pass if they could explain their reasoning without becoming rude or aggressive.

So did her hatred for the unkind, the selfish, and the self important. Even if they gave the right answer, she'd eat them anyway as not to make Her People Suffer Fools.

Its not the way her momma did it, but that doesn't stop Granny Sphynx from beaming with pride.

It turns out the True

Riddle was “How do you build

a child’s confidence?”

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

This is about as unrelated as it gets, but I was once on a cooking competition show as background. I had a prep list, and while the contestants were front-stage, I was in the back of the shot, doing the prep list, looking chef-y, alongside some other BG. The prep list was double-duty, it was also making stuff for the contestants to use later, but our main job was just to make the kitchen look busier. I imagine that in most shots I was in, I was at best an out-of-focus blur behind the main shot.

So at the beginning, the contestants are showing off their knife skills and making little fruit sculptures or whatever, IDGAF, and they were being interviewed at the same time. "What does cooking mean to you?" and that kind of stuff.

I . . . was not supposed to be interviewed. I was BG. The interviewer apparently, did not know who was a contestant and who was BG, so they came over to me. And after all of these eloquent long-winded philosophy-and-dream guided answers, they come to me, and go "What is cooking?"

And me, deep in focus on looking professional and getting the prep list done and not listening to the interviews, aware that I'm not supposed to talk or be talked to (I'm not paid for speaking lines!), but also aware I am the focus right now, but also aware that they will cut this out of the televised part and I can relax and shrug him off, but also suddenly aware there's still a live audience and I can't just shrug him off, but also confused because I didn't realize he was fishing for a deep philosophical answer: "Cooking is making food".

Well. I got a laugh out of the live audience, and they must have decided to keep the line because my pay was upgraded from "SSE" (Special Skills Extra) rates to "Speaking" rates.

best answer

i think this deserves to be part of the post

[ID: Tumblr comment. "so! a neovagina has the g spot you'd expect, on the front wall of the vagina at a fairly shallow depth, you reach it by curling your fingers up. what you're feeling when you stimulate the g spot is the bundle of nerves and tissue at the root of the clitoris, which is why it's so sensitive. however, at a further depth in the vaginal canal, you eventually run up against the prostate, which is all still intact after surgery. so that's a whole other g spot, which makes deeper penetration feel great too! and then of course outside the vagina is the clitoris itself, which can be stimulated all sorts of ways, in tandem with the internal g spots. vaginas are so cool" End ID]

makes me so happy seeing this still getting notes from girls excited about their surgeries. it's wonderful sisters, more wonderful than you can imagine!!! i'm 3 months in now and i truly couldn't be happier with her, it's a medical marvel and it looks pretty and it functions perfectly and sex feels good and i'm so much more confident and comfortable and i'm wearing what i like and 90% of my dysphoria has disappeared and just!!! it's a wonderful thing! i love being trans!
