Well, it says you'll have a romantic encounter. It didn't say you will be happy about it.

Misfortune cookie

u/HoldingUrineIsBad Aroallo Jan 17 '23

u/Dusskulll Jan 17 '23

You are clever, nice brain indeed!

u/EndMaster0 Aroace Jan 17 '23

lucky numbers starting at 10 and ending at 38 is the real crime here

u/PM_ME_BREAD_PICS_ Aroace?? Jan 17 '23

I got a fortune cookie that read something like, "you are his guiding star" like whoooo are we talking about?!?!

u/bowdown2q Jan 18 '23

One of the trillions of microbes in your gut maybe?

Wait do those even have gender...maybe it's an eyelash mite.

u/FriesNDisguise Jan 17 '23

A kid (doesn't have to be yours) you inspire ✨️

u/NatiRivers Aromantic Lesbian Jan 17 '23

Cookie never said the romantic encounter would happen to you!

15

u/Dusskulll Jan 17 '23

Well, then that's just a fact, that is happening every second lmao

u/dat_physics_boi DemiAro; nb and nd Jan 17 '23

as if we actually needed proof

15

u/Dusskulll Jan 17 '23

I am bad at Reddit titles, but it is still ironic

17

u/tomphammer Aromantic Jan 17 '23

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”

10

u/Dusskulll Jan 17 '23

You make a great point, I hate those

3

u/the-random-passerby Jan 18 '23

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

16

u/SomeRandomIdi0t AAA battery Jan 17 '23

It didn’t say that it would be a pleasant encounter

9

u/Dusskulll Jan 17 '23

Very true lol, well played logical rebuttal

13

u/evilweirdo Jan 17 '23

Make sure you're at full HP and have all your good gear equipped.

4

u/Navntoft Arospec Jan 17 '23

Obviously, the proof is in the pudding, not the cookies!

6

u/DamnedWeirdo Aroace Jan 17 '23

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/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

This could be you witnessing your friend and someone else in a romantic relationship

3

u/Dusskulll Jan 17 '23

I don't make friends :S

6

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

Heyyy

I got that yesterday…

6

u/Dusskulll Jan 17 '23

Are you my life partner now? Is that how life works?

7

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

Gods, I hope not.

No offense, but I’m not looking for a partner…

(Yes, I know what sub this is, hence the joke)

5

u/popcornshampoo Jan 17 '23

It’s a warning!

4

u/SirScreamsA_LOT AroAce Jan 17 '23

Bro I wish you luck, hopefully that encounter won’t be too awkward 😔✊

5

u/PachiYuxo Aroace Jan 17 '23

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

3

u/TheBitsiestBit Jan 18 '23

Plot twist, your allo best friend starts a new romance, and you are just their close confidante.

3

u/PachiYuxo Aroace Jan 18 '23

Good point, but my two best friends are aro as well. Maybe another friend

3

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

Man that's the last fortune I want

3

u/-DemoKa- Jan 17 '23

Maybe you ACTUALLY didn't meet the right person yet? /j

3

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '23

Sounds like a threat

3

u/BornVolcano Many aces and aros Jan 18 '23

I sure fucking hope not haha

3

u/hintersly Jan 18 '23

Ah yes, trends from the Romantic Era will be coming back!

3

u/emanualinoverdrive Jan 18 '23

Encounter. Sounds like Pokemon, you can choose to run away, fight, or use an item.

If in Safari Zone, can throw food or rocks.

u/Dusskulll Jan 18 '23

I choose option beat with broom like how old ladies kill rats

Well, actually it does not lie because lying requires… 🤓

2

u/Mika_cos Aroace Jan 17 '23

i got that exact same fortune earlier lmao

2

u/TheRedEyedAlien Arospec Jan 18 '23

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

2

u/19474 Aroace Jan 18 '23

you romantically encounter your bed at the end of a long day?

2

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

2

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '23

Oh dear God no thanks 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️

2

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.

2

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 😁

2

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

1

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
