She wants your purchasing power & influence, not that you can alchemize gold.
You're incompatible.πŸ˜”

    So should one assume she became the item now being fondled by the listener on the right, or is she in the pot...

    He meant he made gold, for her, not that he turned her into gold lol. It confused me at first too.

    I'm not so certain about that, otherwise what is the joke? She doesn't like gold so she left

    She's upset that the alchemist made gold himself (because he's an alchemist) rather than spending money on it. It's a play on people who don't like synthetic diamonds because you didn't pay an arm and a leg for it.

    They are very real, I'm afraid. There are people in transactional relationships where "love" is measured in how much you spend on each other. Money can do strange things to people.

    Jokes on her. I only use organic slavery-free alchemist gold from small family-owned businesses

    Plot twist: The recipe for making lead into gold requires copius amounts of orphan blood.

    Don't most people prefer handmade gifts? Idk maybe I just dislike gifts. I got a charger a few weeks back because I needed one, I thanked, and I can't unsee how I got some more expensive charger with multiple ports for cables while I just need one, so I think of it as lost value that I will have to match on their birthday. Why doesn't my mom ever accept to just not give each other gifts? I will obviously have to pretend to be grateful and spend hours choosing a gift for their birthday. Have I mentioned that I also dislike Christmas because of this?

    The anxiety of gift giving is real. All my family have their birthdays from September through December. That + Christmas always leaves me more stressed out and poorer than necessary. I never know what to get. I would prefer to just not give each other gifts at all.

    So ask a colleague to make some and buy it from them?

    Sometime smart people can be so dumb.
