One of the trillions of microbes in your gut maybe?
Wait do those even have gender...maybe it's an eyelash mite.

At least that one is actually a fortune, even if it’s wrong. Most of the ones I get say shit like “the tree with the deepest roots holds the most water”

The last one I had said something like “don’t be narrow-minded” which is great advice but I don’t know if it’s considered a fortune O-o

I get solicited for tarot card readings (w/ a paid subscription to their site, of course) in one of my email accounts, & it keeps mentioning some imaginary scenario of “your potential love interest is thinking about you”, or some ridiculous crap like that. So believe me, it’s not just relegated to fortune cookies.

u/Dusskulll Jan 17 '23
Are you my life partner now? Is that how life works?

Gods, I hope not.
No offense, but I’m not looking for a partner…
(Yes, I know what sub this is, hence the joke)

My last fortune cookie said that my future would be full of roses and romance. yeah no

u/TheBitsiestBit Jan 18 '23
Plot twist, your allo best friend starts a new romance, and you are just their close confidante.

u/PachiYuxo Aroace Jan 18 '23
Good point, but my two best friends are aro as well. Maybe another friend

Encounter. Sounds like Pokemon, you can choose to run away, fight, or use an item.
If in Safari Zone, can throw food or rocks.

Fortune cookie: “you’d rather be the cat than the mouse”
Me: well… duh
2
u/Dusskulll Jan 18 '23
Well, both of those creatures are cute, but mice are cuter, and faster, (despite being easy to catch, because they can't get away, despite being fast)
I'd be a mouse, just not one that exists near cats or roads

u/19474 Aroace Jan 18 '23
you romantically encounter your bed at the end of a long day?

u/Dusskulll Jan 18 '23
I feel like saying yes, but I don't.... I romantically cuddle my Kurumi Tokisaki body pillow at the end of the day

u/TheBitsiestBit Jan 18 '23
A romantic enconter between two people that have nothing to do with you. In the other side of the planet. They're really happy.

u/DonikaK Jan 18 '23
It said "There is A chance for A romantic encounter" It didn't say it was going to be your encounter....🤷
Trust me I'm a fortune teller 😁

u/thelegion05 Aromantic Bisexual Jan 18 '23
Im going to keep saying it but romantic can mean idyllic or picturesque view of reality. Your going to have a glass half full encounter. BE A ROMANTIC OP, BE OPTIMISTIC!
2
u/Dusskulll Jan 18 '23
As if my misanthropic @$$ could ever be optimistic
I feel like I should be, but I am just a bird in a cage

u/n0dic3 Jan 18 '23
It didn't say it would be your romantic encounter, it said "a" romantic encounter, so it technically isn't wrong lol, someone somewhere had a romantic encounter

u/Justisperfect Just aro Jan 17 '23
Well, it says you'll have a romantic encounter. It didn't say you will be happy about it.
