I am a duck-loving person. My ducks prefer to do the sucking, rather than being sucked, and they're pretty big on all things consensual. They're quite tender lovers. All that said, it's quite alright if you don't want to suck my ducks.

@dashnhammit You said it. Consent. Big one, that. If and it's a pretty big 'IF' we can establish a way in which your ducks would be able to communicate and in fact, consent. Then I and your ducks, yes all of them, will gladly have a big duck sucking party. Then, we'll do the worst thing, the worst, and just forget to invite you.

Thank you for letting me unnecessarily explain my point and the absurdity within what I was attempting to say, and yet, replying back to it. I wish you much duck-loving, friend.

(by the way, did the '@' sign summon you into conversation? According to these tips it should but I have no way of verifying whether it's functioning or not)

I'm not so sure about summoning; all I know is that if you put the "@" sign before and after the username, like so---Winterfond, it turns into a link to that user's profile.

Even if I were to be officially summoned, my ducks are also my guard ducks, and they protect me, and if anyone wishes to summon me, my ducks insist on a long, thorough vetting process, with stringent security measures. Then they nuzzle their beaks against me softly.

That's a quite an imaginative and tedious process. May your ducks always guard you and keep you safe. If ducks could actually do that... not saying they can't, not saying you're crazy. Not at all. Just being sceptical.

The dashnhammit thing works. I got an email, in my junk mail, with a notification from you. So thanks for helping me figure that thing out!
