Have you ever fallen in love? Have you ever been punched very hard in the face, or perhaps attacked by a pack of starving wolves? For those of you who've done both, would you say the experiences were at all comparable?

Nuh uh, getting punched in the face can be fun, under the right circumstances.

I've been attacked by wolves, and much, much worse things. I've also been in love before, but I haven't really had a boyfriend in years. When my first boyfriend broke up with me it certainly felt like a punch to the face.

Are you speaking from personal experience, or are these things what you would wish to experience?

I wouldn't compare the two, no.

[Lestat is looking very fancy! Cassidy, however, is almost the polar opposite of this selfie video, looking like trash sprawled out unceremoniously on an old couch with a half smoked cigarette dangling from his lips.]

Pick the punch over the wolves any day, mate, especially if it's your love deliverin' the blow.

Yes to all three, provided it's acceptable to substitute Hroth-beasts for wolves.

Incredibly comparable, yes.

...Yes.

[ Tatsuya flicks a zippo in his hand open and shut before continuing. ]

....I'd say they're only comparable if you break up.

Yes, yes, and, uh... do owlbears count? Gotta say, none of the above were particularly pleasant experiences.

Surely you must see a comparison among such things.

[Not that D33 knows the first thing about love or ever will (as far as he's concerned).]

Why?

The love part is not comparable. But the subsequent heartache attached...well, I can see the similarities.

[ This is Frederick's vampire who comes highly recommended, so Raina supposes she should put her feelers out. ]

Are you experiencing the latter?

[Behold: A teenager boy with blue hair who could pass for a Gothic 1980s wannabe-vampire with pale white skin, black makeup and red eyes.]

Not the wolves, but I did get punched in the face and attacked by demons.

...I wouldn't say that falling in love is the same. It's torture at first - you want them to like you, you're afraid that they won't. Then there is pain...thinking you're not good enough for them when they were just young and being forced by others. Then you make yourself change thinking this is what they want - not realizing they are doing the same. I got really lucky because she loved me back.

I've been in love and been run through, if that counts.

These events weren't really alike at all.

Except I met the boy immediately after getting run through, so...

You know how dramatic that sounds, right?

Also, people don't usually survive being attacked by wolves.

That's an interesting comparison.

It...might be...correct. [All things considered, as much as he loves Padmé, it does feel like a struggle - especially in their galaxy.]

I cannot speak to the pack of starving wolves, but having nearly had my heart ripped out once- well, it is a similar feeling.

I've never been attacked by wolves, but I once got drunk enough to throw up on someone. And I have been punched before.

I'd say love feels a lot worse.

[As it so happens, Chloe was punched very hard in the face almost immediately before porting in!]

I can't speak to the wolves, but the punch and the fall are about the same level of surprise and "ah, bollocks" rather than the actual pain.
