So Thanksgiving is coming up, at least for the country I was living in for a long time.
For those of you who don't know, there's a historical basis behind it but the main idea nowadays is to get together with family and friends, stuff your faces, watch sports, and think of things you're thankful for.
So, tower residents. What are you thankful for?

[ Worse than Hylians, geeze. ]
Anyway I'm thankful that my world has been destroyed. I'm thankful that everyone back there is dead (most didn't deserve to live in the first place). I'm thankful to live in a tower full of monsters made of floors each more stupid than the others and controlled by five administrators whose cumulative IQs amount to that of a golden fish. I'm thankful for the tower's populace to have made me realize people from my world were actually not the most incompetent people to have ever existed. I'm also thankful for my life to have become once more what amounts to a badly written horror legend.

But more than all I'm thankful for the daily comic relief the network offers. You people are golden.

Glad to help.

Honestly the historical origins are kind of ugly. Supposedly the earliest settlers had trouble making it through the winter and the native people helped them with food and there was a big dinner etc.
In reality that's just a story they tell little kids and what actually happened was that they slaughtered the natives and took their land.
People are trying really hard to get away from that part though since most everyone nowadays is like 'wait what no that's screwed up we were wrong'.
