    Question. Language question. My dad's watching westerns again.

    How come when a girl is described as 'ravishing', it's a compliment, but when a girl is described as 'ravished', it's terrible?

    Ravished implies non-consensual sex.

    Well, yes. That's the thing. "You have ravishingly good looks, m'lady" is taken as a compliment. But God help you if you actually engage in any ravishing. This doesn't make any linguistical sense. "Giggle giggle! Why, yes, I sure do look rapeable! Thank you, good sir!"

    "ravishing" suggests that her beauty is overpowering

    "ravished" means she was overpowered and raped

    Also I am gradually becoming less nervous about DMing in three weeks. I mean, there's no wrong way to do it, if everyone's having fun. The rules are less important than the story and experience.

    Yeah, don't sweat it. Boy is super chill about it all and everyone has a fun time.

    "ravishing" does not mean "you look good enough to rape."

    That would be something like "ravishable," which isn't a word. For good reason.
