When someone actively interrupts, blocks, or derails another person’s attempt to flirt, rizz, or joke their way into someone’s heart. Usually done in group settings or livestreams, this is the playful art of stopping your friend from “cooking.” You’re not protecting anyone from danger—you’re protecting them from success.
It’s like being a romantic goalie: your entire job is to stop their shot from landing.

Hym "That depends. I mean, I am not thrilled with how this is shaking out. I'm going to be perfectly honest with you. You tried to steal my soul and condemn me to a life I described as hell. I am pissed about that. The contract has been fulfilled but my thing didn't even TAKE your soul and, as the contact stipulated, you will be and have been (instead) marked by the flying raijin signet so that in the event that when I die I, instead of facing God immediately, am sent to hell... I will then be able to get out and to God. Assuming of course that at least one of you goes to heaven. But that is already set in stone. We're past that. Umm... Yeah, no, I am going to be tempted to take that shit out of you collective asses though. Not going to lie. Especially if you're letting a guy pretend to be me while knowing full-well that he is not that. Ok? So. Probably. You should probably be mortified. That would be appropriate.

Get the That depends mug.The Shestostani Defence (also known as the Shesto–Yakub Defence) is a rare and unconventional chess opening for White, characterized by the early center pawn move e3 followed by Nf3, then d3 and Nc3, finalized by the moves Bd2 and Be2. A typical move order is 1. e3 g6 2. d3 3. Nf3 4. Nc3 5. Be2 6. Bd2, although other sequences are possible. It is considered a hypermodern and provocative system where White deliberately spends a tempo on a defensive move to limit Black's options and prepare a flexible, potentially fortified center.
Notable Games and Practitioners The opening is primarily associated with its creators, Shesto and Yakub, and has been featured in their online games. It has not been adopted by any notable grandmasters in classical play, but it occasionally appears in online content focused on unusual openings.
