@ranjapiranha More bonus points for sailor moon. If only the anime dub didn’t butcher it

Asexuality in Sailor Moon

In the manga, Rei Hino (Sailor Mars) was depicted as not being interested in sex and as having a distaste for men. Not so in the original anime, their version Rei is very much interested in pursuing relationships with boys. Rei’s arc in the manga meant a lot to me as someone who identifies as asexual. There was a chapter that focused on Rei feeling confused and insecure that everyone around her constantly talked about romance, specifically romance with boys, when she herself wasn’t interested in kissing men, or pursuing a sexual relationship at all. A villain took advantage of this and tried to convince her she had to kiss a guy and get into a relationship with him, even if she wasn’t interested in sex or men, so she could fit in and be “taken care of”.  Rei fought off the monster, asserting her confidence in her identity. In another story, she told her friends she didn’t need a relationship, and she was content with having allies who shared her purpose. The text didn’t specifically say Rei was an aromantic/non-heteromantic asexual, but Rei’s story is the closest I’ve seen to solid exploration of the struggles of an asexual person in popular media. The fact that the point of Rei’s story is about the overcoming the pressure on her to be hetero-normative, and the fact it ends with her being happy and comfortable with her identity and with her disinterest in both boys and sex- these things were great to me. So I really want to see Rei’s identity and story represented in the new anime, not erased like it was in the original.

Praise dragon age

As someone who actually has romanced every LI in Dragon Age for the sake of completion and exploring every part of the stories, let me just say that not romancing that character you don’t like is valid as fuck. No, you don’t have to do it just because. 

Hell, people who have played the games only with a certain LI are still valid.

People who who have no interest in the romance aspects at all are still valid.

Like, this actually is one of those times “just enjoy the game” is applicable.

Just a reminder that Xena doesn’t belong in the “queerbaiting” category. In the later seasons, the writers and producers did everything they could to get around the network’s censorship to show us that Xena and Gabrielle were together. Ask pretty much anyone from the cast and crew today and they will say the same thing.

That is not queerbaiting. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

How the bloody fuck did i manage to get a zero for this!? I call shennanigans. I mean there where plenty of times i could not make out the difference between colours. Ah well, even a idiot lucks out once or twice

How well do you see color?

Note to self: Reread this post daily. Since this all i ever feel when i create things. I mean if someone else can do it way better than you. Whats the point? It'll only look shit compared to what the other person did and your stuff is basicly useless. I hate these thoughts and even more that i cant kill them. But perhaps i'm thinking to much in a technical mindset. I always compare it to plumbing: if you get to choose between two plumbers for your bathroom and one ks vastly better then the other, why choose the shitty one.

note to self: just because someone did the thing you were thinking about doing, and did it way better than you could ever hope to do, doesn’t mean it would be stupid or pointless to go ahead and try to still do the thing anyway.

Patron saint of D&D parties

So fun story about this weeks D&D session: My players are rooting out an old fort filled with bandits led by a minotaur barbarian, dragonborn sorcerer and a human dark palladin.

After reaching the top floor they get ambushed by gargoyles previously summoned by the sorcerer(spoiler alert: it involved lots of fluffy bunnies).

After they cleared out the stony bastards I decided to mess with them.

I showed them a weeping angel.

Except it was a fake, just a regular statue.But it was in the classic weeping angel pose: hands before the face. Que the party leader(a dwarf fighter) saying: look the patron saint of our party.

Rest of the party and me(DM): Huh, why?

Dwarf fighter The patron saint of facepalms. So yeah, D&D parties now have an official patron saint according to our party. The patron saint of facepalms. st. Sighwhy Facepalmius

ENDGAME? more like WILDGAME!

Damn,

Endgame was good.

Soooooooooo good.

Got me on edge with anxiety and excitement.

Bold move to start of so sad.

And wow did not expect Thor to end up like that.

To little Captain Marvel in the film for my tastes.

Oops.

then i did it wrong too.

Oh well

lianne has a lightbulb moment

HOLD ON I -

I am apparently Very Hazy today

Because I seem to have GRIEVOUSLY MISUNDERSTOOD that questions thing

You’re…………supposed to answer as many questions as you have mutuals, aren’t you.

That’s what that title means, isn’t it.

…

Yeah.

I definitely did that wrong.

BUT HEY

I LIKED ANSWERING DUMB QUESTIONS OK

DON’T LOOK AT ME

[quietyetextra]

15 mutuals, 15 questions

I’ve been tagged by @smileyonthewall​ so let’s get this show on the road.

Are you named after anyone? Nope. Hell my parent’s only knew what they wanted to name me not long before I was born.

When was the last time you cried? About 2 months ago. When I was in a really really dark place mentally and emotionally speaking.

Do you have any kids? Nope. Want kids in the future though. But that would require me to first fall in love with someone who loves me back. which is a struggle on it’s own seeing how I almost never truly develop feelings for someone.Hell so far I’ve actually and fully/truly fallen in love 3 times in my life. Add to the fact that even if I manage it, the relationship will never last since research has shown that people like me have a hard/near impossible time to find/keep/maintain romantic relationships and the chance for me to ever have kids in the future becomes real small. Plus everywhere on the internet I read stories about how bad it was dating autistic people and so far I've met 3 people who dating an autistic person and hated it. One even going so far to proclaim to never date autistic people again.

So do I have kids? No. Do I want them? Yes. Will I ever have a chance at kids?Zero is a chance right?

Do you use sarcasm a lot? I think I use it more than average. To be fair, both my parents and my little brother can be quite sarcastic so I’ve kinda grew up in a sarcastic/smart mouthed house.

What’s the first thing you notice about people? I think their face? That or their clothes or the entire person at once.

Eye color? Blue. A very bright/light colour of blue considering my darker hair colour.

Scary movie or happy ending? Both? Both. Both is good.

Any special talent? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Nope. I got nothing worthwhile talent or skill wise to speak of. I got nothing to speak of. I thought I could sing but that was a huge forking mistake. All the poetry and song lyrics I wrote are pure trash when looking back at them. Nope I got nothing special to make me of any use/value/make me equal/measure up to the normal people.

Where were you born? In a hospital in the South-Eastern province of The Netherlands, by  Cesarean section 4 weeks to early with a growth deficiency of 8 weeks Although some definitions define a  Cesarean section to not being a birth so by that definition I was never “born” at all.

Hobbies? Singing, reading, watching series, watching anime, violin, guitar, Historical European Martial Arts, Dungeons and Dragons, Magic the Gathering, gaming, hanging out with friends/roommates.

Do you have any pets? Nope. My mom has a cat. Does that count? When I live on my own I’ll probably get a cat though.

What sports do you/have played? I have played many a sport in my time. Judo, Karate, Horseback riding, Jujitsu, Gymnastics, Historical European Martial Arts. At the moment I’m not really doing any sports. Unless you count the weekly swimming I do with smileyonthewall​ and my roommates

How tall are you? 1,75-1,76 meters depending on which document you use.

Favorite subject in school? I didn’t have a single favorite subject. I liked Dutch(sucked at the grammar though XD), English, Biology, Physics, Music, Chemistry(even though I liked it I never managed to be quite good at it no matter how much/hard I studied. Guess I just lacked the right chemistry XD)

Dream job? It used to be doctor or  paediatrician. Then it became of scientific researcher/laboratory worker. Nowadays it’s a toss up between laboratory worker or teacher. Although I’m scared to try cause I’m pretty sure I’d suck at teaching. Welp that was it. Unless @smileyonthewall tags me for some more questions.

Time for my own tagging. I hereby Tag: @eprillios
