      I've basically learned that to be a good Dungeon Master you need to be at least a bit of a sadist.
      But what to remember is that good Sadists never hurt someone without consent and never leave lasting consequences.

      i've watched people literally die from the damage they did to themselves smoking constantly their whole lives. i've seen people who you literally can't understand a word out of their mouth anymore because their throat, longs, vocal chords are so fucked up from the chemicals they keep pumping into it. i've watched members of my own family push themselves further and further into struggling to pay the bills or get food just so they can keep buying smokes. almost everyone I've met that smokes hates the fact that they're addicted to this shitty thing and will refuse to let others join the addiction if they don't already. and the smell, the fucking smell. it gets into everything, clothes, cars, even just their fucking skin, it invades your nose and your lungs so goddamn intensely even when you aren't the one smoking it, and yet people smoke in their fucking *cars* with their children or even *babies* in the backseat.
      there are so many ways in which it's so fucking awful and fucks people up so much - and not *just* the ones smoking it but others around them too, even if they're only around *after*, when the smell and the cigarette butts just pile into them at every moment. and so it drives them away and cuts out the people that don't join you in that addiction because it fucking sucks to be around
      there are so many better ways to let off stress. so many less fucking devastating and less harmful ways.
      i hate it, so much, and I can't ever understand or be comfortable with people being so casual about something so life-destroying and isolating like that
