I paused and thought, I couldn’t tell her the actual answer, being that the fighter had a diplomacy and sneak skill worth nothing, so I’d asked her what Thomas should do, and there started her new bed time stories. Choose your own adventure stories, from then on she decided what Thomas did. From taking only a kiss from the maiden instead of gold (I couldn't convince her to take both.) To switching to a club to fight the woodland animals like wolves. (They didn’t know better she thought it was wrong to kill them.)

After we together finished the tale of Thomas, I decided to start up another one right away, we were both having too much fun for this to end, but who would be the hero? Naturally, being DnD along with choose your adventure I had her choose. At first I had her pick from some heroes I would make up. A stealthy robin hood esq. Rogue. A knight in shining armor, a young handsome wizard. Or the crazed but kind hearted barbarian. Many a great and fun tales we had. Exploring huge caverns, forgotten tombs and temples. Even saving cities and damsels along the way, all along my daughter telling more and more of the story herself.

Now this would be around mid September, after many tales my daughter would ask me questions. About wizards or monsters and such and one day she asked me about bards.

>Daddy what are bards? You say the do magic, but then they just tell stories, or sing. Are they adventures too?

So I explained, yes they are. They are adventures who seek out old stories to tell to people and who make new ones along they way. They make magic with music and tales, their songs enchant people, they can make them dance or sleep or obey their words. She seemed to like the idea, asking more and more questions. By this point I’m already planning on getting her into these games when she’s a little older, I can see her playing bards now.

Now a few days later, when she had decided Thog (she really likes the name thog for any big man in these stories) the beserker had enough fun for a day and needed rest at the tavern, she asked me again about bards. She asked if the bard playing at the tavern that night had any children. Not wanting to go anywhere near the “traditional” answer for if a bard had any kids I told her yes, and that his son and wife where upstairs and travailing with the bard on his journey. She seemed to fall in love with the idea of the bard and his family out on adventures.

Flash forward to last week, and we are wrapping up Thog’s tale, she asked me if the next hero could be a bard. I was not about to say no so the plan was set, I just need to think up a few starting quests and a little bit of character for the bard to get her started. So that Story started tonight but what happened today is what nearly made me cry. My daughter in kindergarten had plenty of little shows or activities they would invite parents in to see today was one such day. They had apparently been working on a little project as a surprise for the parents, the children had to make a little essay on what their parents did for a living and the parents got invited in to see just how close (or normally far off) they were. My little girl started to read her essay and this is how it went.

My daddy’s job is very special. My daddy is a hero. When ever I need anything my daddy is there for me and if I ever am hurt or sad or lonely my dad comes to my rescue. But he not just any hero he is a bard! My dad can tell all kinds of stories. Of big strong knights and smart magic men, and he can sings songs and play instruments too. Before I was sad when my dad had to go away on trips but now I’m excited because he was going on adventures! To help other people and tell stories there too. I love my daddy. My daddy is my hero.

To my little girl I was a bard. I told stories, I sang, I was magic, I was her hero. I left her to go on adventures and came back with more tales. See my girl that excited and hearing her say this I couldn’t be happier.

Then tonight as I started the story she asked me a question. “Could the bard have a family too? Could he have his wife and their daughter be on the adventures too?”

I called my wife into the room, and we started our adventure together.

D'aaawmind?

>>21573573
The most important thing of being a hero is in your deeds. Always be there for her, encourage curiosity, tell her stories, read to her and encourage her to read on her own as well. Make her feel loved. Protect her, but let her make her own mistakes as well.

But from what you've said you're already taking care of that just fine and your daughter sounds adorable.

You can tell her that a pile of random anonymous dudes on the internet think her dad is a hero too.

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/21572801/

Damn it you guys, I already almost cried once today. Whelp seeing as you fa/tg/uys seem to like her, think I'll be back soon letting you know of our adventures together. So hopefully more D'awww for you guys soon.

You truly deserve to bear the title of bard.

My dad did something similar for me and my brothers when we were young. Mostly stories for me, but he played actual D&D with my brothers. He's gone now, but you made me think of him in a good way. Keep raising your daughter as well as you do. As a person who was raised by a man like you, you're an amazing person and an awesome father.

Damn...my apartment just got really dusty...

You just can't not cry tears of joy when reading this story. You sir are truly an amazing storyteller and an even better father.

My grandfather did something similar with me as a kid. Never knew my dad, so he filled the role of my father figure growing up. He started telling me stories, and I'd interject and start telling the story with him. Things like that really helped me develop an imagination. He's still around, I'll thank him soon for those times.

OP puts all our meaningless existences to shame.

Tame thy neckbears /tg/ and you to could acheived such heights of heroism!

I slow clapped at my desk.

Kudos to you, OP. Kudos.

OP, I dub thee: HERODAD.

My dad did much the same thing. He'd tell me the stories of his PCs or run me through infocom text adventures when we were on the road. Taught me to play Tunnels and Trolls when I was four and couldn't read yet. He died 6 years ago, I still miss him. Got me hooked on Roleplay and Games of all kinds. He was my hero too.

Alright it’s time to tell of Kat’s Halloween. Still mid way through the tale of Thog, Kat’s exact words were. “I wanna be a big wild scary choppy man like thog!” This was gonna be a fun Halloween. However partycity, and the other stores failed to have the Lil’ Beserker outfit in stock, so I managed to talk her down to getting being a Knight this year on the promise I’d make her a Barbarian outfit myself next year. (I will do it too, I want see her run around in it) So we find a good white knight costume and one odd look from the cashier later we were off and ready. (Typing this as I go this time bare with me)

>>21581848
While its certainly true that your daughter is far more likely to prefer 'princesses' on her bedsheets even with no efforts by the media, it in no way means she won't jump at all the stuff you have to offer.

Have a daughter of my own, she's six. Never so much as tried to choke herself on dice and loves rolling up a character. Sure she doesn't have the attention span needed for a six hour game, but she already tries.

>>21581848
You'll know you've raised her right when barbie's dumped ken for The Hulk and Spiderman because ken likes boys instead so its okay.

You'll also wonder where she learned all of this crap, and where you could have gone so wrong.

Now her outfit while still pretty cheap was a full on Knight get up A little plastic helmet with visor and a feather crest as well. So the days leading up to Halloween were spent with her strutting around the house, fighting off Monsters that always seem to disappear just as I step into the room, learning sword play as best a five year old could manage with a dinky plastic blade, only tripping once or twice on the outfit and generally full of her amazing cuteness. Then came Wednesday October 31st and Katlyn the Brave and Dashing of the Southern Woods (Self given title) set off oh her adventure for treasure and sweets but mostly sweets. Now as we went off to other neighborhoods in the area, Kat ran into a few other Knights and Squires and even a few “Strange eastern warriors” (She had asked me what a Knight would call a Samurai or ninja that’s all I came up with) she verily tried to get them to join her quest, and even a few agreed. Soon she had her own little adventuring party. Made up of Herself, two ninjas another knight and Ironman. I told her to look out for a wizard to join.

>>21583014
Man I wish this had happened to me.

>>21583014
Now through out the night she had left an impression on many a peasant, mostly by actually referring to the candy givers as peasants. No really after the knight (and his parents) join our party, at the next house once she had received her candy my daughter said “Thank ye Peasant you have been help on a noble quest” I will never forget the look on that woman’s face as Kat walk back to me. Aside from that, she challenged others to duels, lead her party to battle (By telling them when it was safe to cross the street) And was simply the greatest Knight I have ever seen. And then she found a mount.

>>21583066

A while into the night, when we decided it was best to start making a circle back home we found a house that had a dog. A big fat sheep dog. Now plenty of people like to dress up their pets on Halloween. The very nice couple at this house decided to dress up their dog as a horse with a toy cowboy on it’s back. They dressed it up as a horse with a saddle. Normally I figured Kat would have run up to the dog demanding to pet it but tonight she stood still. Staring at the dog. That had a saddle. While she was dressed as a Knight. With out a mount.

>” Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! I need that horse, I need to ride it!”

What do I say to my daughter here? Luckily I didn’t need to say anything, because as I was trying to think of an answer she ran up to the couple to get her candy and ask them herself. SO while excitedly hopping up and down she said.

>”Can I ride the horse? I’m a Knight! I’m Katlyn the Brave and Dashing but I need a horse!”

Once a again a pair of faces I will never forget at that moment. Now I was going to walk up and apologize to them, but the man there, the man who is now a very good friend to me says to my daughter
>”I don’t know young Knight, do you feel you are worthy to ride one of the King’s own horses?”

>”Of course I am! I have defeated monsters! Goblins and bugbears! I have even defeated an ogre!”

>With a smile on his face “Very well young one come with me”

He took the little cowboy of the dog’s back and untied him from the tree. He lopped the leash around the collar to make a crude rein and let my daughter jump on. Now the dog of course was little uncomfortable with a child suddenly jumping on it’s back but the owner feed him some treats and calmed him down.

Now I’m willing to beat the next twenty or so minutes were the best of my daughter’s young life. I really couldn't stop thanking the man and his wife enough. He would lead the dog around the yard taunting him with treats give the kids a pony ride, while Kat slashed at the monsters coming to invade the kings castle. (Ok his house was BIG but I wouldn’t call it a king’s castle) After Kat got off he gave the other kids rides too. I did really feel sorry for the dog however. He seemed tired afterwards

/tg/ has spoken

So this was a tale I was not there for, but it was regaled to me by my wife (Along with a lot blame, and on “explaining the boundaries” to my daughter about real life and my “silly fantasy worlds” She was a wee bit mad) before the tale some geography first. Near my neighbor there is a small forest with a nice creek running through (This is were the of The Southern Woods in her knightly name came from) This was a setting for many a tales I told her and became a wonderful, magical place to her, which were no more then 50 feet from her house.

One day late august, Kat asked my wife if she could go out to the woods to play with her friends, Rick and Amber. Now normally I say an adult must be with them out there for them to play. So either my wife made an exception, or they said one of the other kids parents was going with them (They lied) So off the three go to have a day of fun in the woods playing at being heroes.

For that day’s adventure Katlyn had decided that a princess had become lost in the woods and needed a group of brave, albeit small heroes to save her. SO off they went past thickets of trees, over mountains (Boulders in the woods) through a raging river (Little creek) all in hopes of finding the lost girl. Then suddenly Rick had a flash of insight! If the princess was lost and scared she would be hiding! So they wouldn’t see her, they need to call out to her to get her out of hiding! So after a few moments of arguing to decided what her name would be (They settled on Lisa) They began to call ‘Lisa! We are here to find you!” “Lisa Where are you!?” LISA!

That's so adorable it hurts. I hope we all have kids that awesome someday; gives me hope for the future.

>>21585763

>>21585763
I can see where this is going and it is adorable.

>>21585763
This can only end with fuzzy feelings.

>>21585763

As they wondered the woods they drew close to the backyards of other homes as well. Homes where house wives where relaxing in the back yard. Hearing a shrill child’s cry one such wife came out to see the issue. Now Katlyn was a serious role-player, she dared not to break character, and since she did not neither did Amber or Rick. So they told the Lady of their quest to find the Lost girl Lisa in the woods. Now this worried the House wife greatly. A girl was lost in the woods! So she called out her neighbor, she needed help in the search and she called her neighbor and so on and so forth, eventually even my wife was called, she believed Lisa was a new friend of Kat. So when I returned home to a very worried wife telling of Kat’s lost friend and many a person in the woods calling out for poor little Lisa. I found Kat watching T.V. in the living room. I asked what had happened to her friend Lisa! And she says to me

>”Who’s Lisa?”

D'awwwwww
i can barely spel im so emotional

this man is a god amongst men

i wish my dad would have been like you

>>21585846

……..
>”Oh! Lisa! The princess who got lost. We were gonna finish the adventure tomorrow daddy. Whats for dinner?”

….. So after a little more talking with her I had the unfortunate task of going out and explaining to ALL of the people searching what had happened. To cut out some needless parts (We are here for Tales of Kat after all) It took roughly and hour and a half to round up all the searching people. Then I had to explain this was all a child’s game.

The mob was not happy

Now while they decided to begin slinging insults as to my parenting skills, Kat decided to come out and see what was happening. She did not like what she say. She came up and grabbed my hand and asked what was wrong. A mother in the crowd decided to yell at her. >”You! You should be ashamed! Lying to all of us about a lost girl! That is no joke!”

This is when Kat started to cry

>>21585941
NO NO NO NO NO, DON'T CRY! Please don't.

...The suspense is killing me.

>>21585941
>making a little girl cry
Holy shit, smite the heathens

>>21585941
Aww, but she was just on an adventure. She just wanted to save the princess. She doesn't deserve to be yelled at.

This is what Kat spoke through tears

>”I’m so sorry…. I just thought she wanted to play with us! I thought she was calling more friends. Daddy plays with me all the time and she never said anything to me! She just ran right off to get her friends and didn’t even ask what we were playing!”

At this point more the a few faces in the little mob seemed ashamed, they did just make a little girl cry. While it did take some more talking. And a teary promise from Kat to say it’s a game next time, they did leave with out incident. Once we were inside I noticed Kat had stopped crying rather quickly.

>”Daddy, when I Hero lies to do good it’s ok right?”

>>21586453
Look, OP, don't worry about that. The thing about children is that they will always reach an age where they'll want to be their own person and they'll change or say a lot of things to accomplish that and that accounts for pretty much 99% of all stupid things teenagers do. Don't worry. Don't get upset. It's just them doing some soul-searching and trying to find themselves. Just be supportive, encouraging, and understanding of that and it'll work out. 9 times out of 10, people end up right back where they started, and if you do that, she'll back at it with much more confidence in herself and an even greater appreciation for it and you.

So it’s time for Kat’s Hero show, again a tale I was not there for my self but Kat’s teacher was more then willing to share with me what happened. As part of the class they had to, very simply put on a mini play for the class. Get some characters, some lines, maybe a costume and put on the show with a small group.

Now most kid’s went to their parents asked for help and ended up doing Shakespeare. Not my Daughter. I didn’t even know she had this project until the teacher called and told me what a wonderful job my daughter did. She did a classic damsel in distress story. The evil bandit made off with the blacksmiths beautiful daughter, a brave but inexperienced Squire sets off to save her! The cast was as followed.

Katlyn as the squire
Amber as the damsel
A boy named Jake as the bandit
And another boy named Adam who was the blacksmith and the puppet master
And finally a multitude of sock puppets to be the monsters.

I heard it was an amazing show, The opening scene was Amber simply picking some flowers out side the village….

>>21586453
>>21586482
Sorry for not telling you OP, we just didn't want to scare the bard away.

It's not really that bad. Worrying about your children growing older seems to be a rather ubiquitous worry among parents anyway. I remember my dad once sat me down when I was 12 and gave me a speech about how it was ok to change and gain new interests and not like certain things anymore.

Though I think he only did that because he wanted to keep watching Spaghetti Westerns. I still fondly remember spending time with my dad and love Lee Van Cleef to this day though so he needn't have worried. I'm sure your daughter will continue to lobe you as well no matter what happens.

Anyway, forgetting my weird anecdote, story time please.

>>21586579

Right. That was stupid. I meant love.

>>21586579
>find a sword
You say that as if it's something most fathers haven't considered.

>>21586579
Have any Ren Fairs that come to your area? Or Larpers?

>>21586602
Ok. Just some legalities for those considering getting a sword in the US.

Owning a sword on your own property (home and office included, but not shared apartment space without Landlord's prior approval) is protected by the second amendment in the states. Your landlord, if you have one, may have a problem though. Ask them first.

Carrying a sword in a public place, however, is not nearly as open.

>>21586579
When suddenly! The evil bandit comes and grabs the girl! And with and evil laugh! ( As best a young could muster as I am told) Shouts “ A-Ha! Now I have you! Now I will steal you and force you to be my wife! (Ah little kids) And with the damsel shrieking he stole her away. Then in Rides the squire to town and ends up meeting the blacksmith and after a little chatter the Squire has accepted the quest! And off she runs into the woods! Along the way she fought a great host of monsters it seems from small marker green sock goblins to a big brown sock bear! Even, or so I am told a vile fire breathing sock dragon! With the most horrible pair of googly eyes you will ever see. But after many a trail she finds her self at the bandit lair.

>I need to find a sword to go along with my bard outfit

Inside the Damsel was tied to a orange plastic chair! The horror! And the bandit was getting the wedding bands ready to seal her fate! But the young squire would not stand for this. And with a yell leaped in to fight the bandit! After a dramatic waving of plastic swords (With only one injury in the mix) The Squire defeats the bandit! After untying the Damsel he takes her back to town safe and sound. When The blacksmith asks the squire what reward he requires the squire answered thusly.

“A true Hero needs no reward! I fight for good and that is a reward it’s self, I want nothing more then for you to promise to keep her safe my good man.”

And with that the squire rode off into the sunset, off to the next adventure.

She got am A on the project.

>>21586739
Ownership of a sword isn't much of a legal issue compared to your behavior with one. As long as he keeps it in a locked case when in public, doesn't brandish it threateningly in front of random dudes and can a
adequately prove to inquiring law enforcement that it's not endangering anyone, you should be ok. But if you have kids, take the necessary precautions. You wouldn't leave a gun lying on the mantelpiece around children.

My dad had to lock away his zweihander when I was a kid. I wasn't even able to see it in until I was 12.

>>21586882
She was a Knight for halloween. Boy was probably just a group member.

>>21586882

Becuase that was just the way I typed it?

Would you like a quick mini story showing how Kat views gender and fantasy roles? It's worth a chuckle at least.

>>21586910
Do it.

>>21586910
Yes yes yes please.

>>21586910

OP! Yes. Your stories made me d'aww.

>>21586922
>>21586927

>>21586954

So I lied it will be two mini stories but I don’t think you will mind, anyway.

There was a time late in the summer when I was out in the woods watching Kat play. Near by there was a group of boys apparently already playing at being Knights. One of the boys comes over and says to Kat, “We are Knights here to rescue the princess!” I think he meant for Kat to that princess but instead my little girl grabs a stick that was near by jumps up and says. “A quest! I will join you! Where is this princess then?” And runs off before they could answer leaving them to follow her trail.

The second story was actually at a renaissance fair. Me and Kat were both interested in going, and my wife agreed (With some prodding) Once there was walked around and looked at old timey shops and crafts. Kat was loving every minute. Now there was a show being preformed so we sat down to watch. Now during the show they had a act set apart for kids. They where going to lead the kids through acting out the princess in the tower. When he called for Volunteers Kat didn’t wait to be called she jumped on stage. The man laughed and says to her. “Since we have our first volunteer why don’t you called out what else we need. Kat turns to the audiences and yells. I need a Princess to go and rescue.

In short for Kat Gender means nothing, She is the Hero and She will go rescue that princess herself.

>>21587044
Good god, Kat is going to just break every heart she comes across, won't she?

>>21587044
Your daughter is wonderful.

>>21587044

Truly a philosophy so simple and yet so profound.

You go save that princess, Kat. You go save yourself all the princesses.

>>21587044
This just gets better and better OP. SO MANY FEELS.

>>21587044
Your daughter, man. She is just made of adorable.

>>21587083

I'm thinking about just locking her in the basement for the entirety of her teenage years. Know how luck is working out she will end up having my wife's body and being exactly the same then as now. I neither want to deal with boys after her, for the sheer amount of spaghetti and broken hearts that will end up at my doorstep

So /tg/ I think you are done for the night you don't really need anymore tales do you?

>>21587044
...What is this twinge in my chest?

>>21587145

Ok my friends, it’s time for the tale of when Kat kissed many a princesses fair.

The tale starts with a trip to Disney World, a place of magic and happiness and of Katlyn The Brave and Dashing’s next adventure. Today was the day She officially began her hero’s training

>>21587385

At about midday all the princes and princess and all the characters of Disney came out to play, sighing autographs taking and pictures and bringing merriment to all the children. But Not for Little Kat she had a goal and mind and searched until she found what she was looking for. She found both Prince Charming and Aladdin nearby and marched straight up to them and asked a simple question. “You both are hero’s right? You both saved a princess?” With only a flicker of surprised they both answered yes. Kat then demanded. “You gotta teach me to be a hero too!”

>>21587385
>Katlyn
>Disney World
If I should die of cuteness overload, then know that I died happily.

File: 1352950570885.jpg-(367 KB, 1024x768, 1288622627115.jpg)

This made me happy. Thank you OP.

>>21587451

Now unfortunaletly Prince Charming felt that he wasn’t fit to be a quest giver having a job to do and such and gave Kat nothing more then a sad nod and no before turning to the next child to take picture, sad but I suppose understandable. Aladdin however gave a laugh and said gave a simple task. “A Hero needs a blade, come back once you have one and then we will see.”

Kat came demanding I buy her a sword, a little bargaining and a trip to the pirates of the Caribbean ride later she had a cutlass.

Marching back to Aladdin, he certainly looked shocked to see Kat again, with a blade no less and he looked to me. I shrugged and waited to see what he would do. He then gave her a quest.

“A hero must always perform good deeds when ever they can, so go out today and have your fun but if you see a chance to do good take and then return to me.” And with Kat out of his hair again he turned back to sighing autograph but now Kat had a mission.

>>21587552

After that we went on rides saw some shows and met a few princesses along the way, and then Kat saw a chance to complete her quest. At the restaurant we stopped at to eat she saw a family at another table paying. The father while taking back his change dropped some quarters and did not seem to notice. As he got up to leave Kat quick as lighting, bolted over, picked up the change and stopped the man.

“Mister you dropped these!” And then happily skipped back to her seat, informing us we needed to go back to Aladdin. The man who received his change had quite a few nice things to say about Kat.

Back to Aladdin he started Laughing when he saw Kat walking back to him. I don’t believe he actually thought Kat would be back a second time. After she informed Aladdin as to how she completed the quest he gave her a harder mission.

“Ok Now a real Hero will always go and get the girl. So go out and find a fair Princess and plant a kiss on her cheek and I will dub then a true hero.”

Kat nearly bolted right over to Jasmine right there. I however was forced to stop her, so I could tell her it was best if she asked before randomly running up to the princess and kissing her.

She certainly did save many a things

>“Ok Now a real Hero will always go and get the girl. So go out and find a fair Princess and plant a kiss on her cheek and I will dub then a true hero.”

the stars themselves line them up for your little girl OP. it's nice to see people that play along like that

Your daughter is the best loli.

So her first kiss was with Jasmine, after she asked politely of course. But then she had a though. If kissing one princess made her a hero. What would she be if she kissed ALL of the princesses. And thus it began, her journey to smooch every Princess at Disney world that day. After a round of princesses and even adding in tinkerbell she returned to Aladdin to be dubbed a Hero. HE did dub her not only a Hero but as one of the greatest, because apparently even he couldn’t get Cinderella to kiss him.

I do believe the Universe is lining up just for my daughter but even so the people Disney world tend to be pretty cool. Look up the story of the Disney cop who had little girls sign his autograph book, so they would all think they were princesses

ALL OF THE CHARISMA
ALL OF IT

>>21587777
Damn, your girl is charming. When she grows up she'll forget to turn off her swag and wake up covered in bitches.

The universe didn't just give her a 20 in her CHR, it gave her exploding 100's! It's the only explanation. That, or Just as Tzeentch'd

Also, why has nobody capped the lost girl and hero show stories yet?

>>21587858
Wake up covered in Princesses

I'm not a small guy but even I just squee'd a little bit

>>21587917
Just don't tell her the actual origin of that picture It's best if she doesn't find out about 4chan, even /tg/. We're just a council of archivist wizards who think she's a pretty awesome gal.

>>21587917
Thank you kindly. If this still around tomorrow, or its successor thread, I'll try to do a couple more. Aladdin and Kat just sounds hilarious as a picture.

>>21587963
>A council of Archivist Wizards who trade her father amazing tales for those of his daughters.
FTFY

>>21587963
Seconding this. Such a young righteous mind should not know of this place. And thank you for the tales.

>>21587963
I had no intention of doing so I will simply state that the council of archivist Wizards have deemed her a worthy Hero and also >>21587995

Now my question to all of /tg/ if on the morrow comes a thread entitled The adventures of Katlyn the Brave and Dashing, was abound, who would be hitting F5?

Or just say that you and your friends talk about what their children do, and one of them sketched what she might look like as a hero.

>>21588045
I would. I like these stories, they're adorable.

>>21588045
/tg/ loves storytime.

I would be wielding my F5 key with abandon.

>>21588045
EVERYONE HERE

>>21588045
>who would be hitting F5?
WIZARDS

>>21588045
I will.
>since dyworked
yes, dyworked very hard on it, didn't he?

what was everyone's favorite part? Mine was the bluff and "Daddy, when I Hero lies to do good it’s ok right?"

>>21588045
Of course I would.

>>21588045
I would.

>>21588045
I, for one, would welcome more adventurous tales. Even better if they were tomorrow, because now I can go to bed (and get enough sleep for work) happy to know that there are good people like you raising good daughters like Kat
>>21588104
I liked her essay and the people that let her ride the king's horse and protect the castle

>>21588104
part? everything was glorious. brought several tears to my jaded, cynical eyes.
