there's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

If RR gets a live action, and Cassius doesn't look like an oiled up, curly haired ancient greek statue, I don't want him. If he doesn't look so pretty it hurts to look at him, I don't want him.

If he doesn't look like the same man Darrow continuously has homoerotic thoughts about, I don't want him.

once again with the whole excitement about sunrise on the reaping and who will play haymitch, please keep two things in mind!

1) he's sixteen, so someone decently young would be playing him, not one of your favs or a guy older than that (that shouldn't be the case anyway but it wouldn't surprise me nevertheless)

2) his movie adaptation (played by woody harrelson) is NOT how he looks in the books. he has olive skin, grey eyes and dark curly hair. so while you'd expect that they'd cast someone who looks similar to woody, it would be inaccurate to the books. yeah! a change in appearance would be weird when they had his actor look a certain way for 4 movies, but then again, haymitch isn't white. he isn't blonde and blue eyed and he should've been played by someone who was accurate to his actual description. and again, he SHOULD be played by someone who is accurate to his actual description if he does have any apperances in sotr.

What's this captive prince thing you've been posting about lately?

The Captive Prince trilogy by C.S. Pacat! Was rec'd in a discord i'm in a while back, and turns out multiple of my mutuals really like it

I'm only on book 1, so I don't know the overarching plot (I can guess it though), but it's an adult fantasy and the initial premise is: the bastard prince of Akielos has violently overthrown the kingdom, secretly imprisoning and sending the crown prince, Damianos, as part of a treaty gift to their greatest enemy to serve as a pleasure slave to their crown prince.

If anyone finds out who he truly is, they'll have him killed; renamed Damen, he must figure out how to navigate the twisted, scheming foreign courts and politics, and find a way home. Fallen from prince to enemy slave, the dynamics and expectations of sex and pleasure in this new country are foreign and, at times, cruel. His new master, the crown prince who has reason more than anyone to despise him if he finds out his true identity, the cruelest of them.

This is definitely a book with warnings, as the term "pleasure slave" might've clued you in. Violence, sexual slavery, rape, underage/child sex abuse (though not the mcs). Both of the characters around the mc and the mc. Here's a list I've found. I can provide more detail if needed

So far I've found it fast to read, engaging, and the primary dynamic complicated and fucked up. We shall see what happens next :)

Joe Locke and Kit Connor reveal what they’re most excited for us to see in season 2

[projectjasper]

next episode they reveal that the spell revivify actually exists in the pit babe universe

You know, it really is such a vibe that when I first played Danganronpa with a friend, literally every time I said I liked a character, not being that invested in spoilers, I was informed they died, and then after experiencing this at least five separate times, I then get informed when I ask, that the literal only two characters I actively wanted to see die lived.

[niaerinisms]

We don't talk nearly about the fact that Noah or ILITW!MC are the only ones who remain surviving even if all the other It Lives characters die. Like the angst potential ughhhhh.

[v0id-of-thought]

I think my take on arcane season two is that I like almost everything in it, but because there are so many things, the pacing dulls impactful moments and leaves way to much to interpretation.

One HSR Character a Day Day 51: Yukong (last one. for now.)

[aquaburst3]

So I was trying to scroll through Reddit to see if there was a thread about a female fan school, and, spoiler alert, there wasn't at all. (Which I find annoying, since I was looking for inspo for a future fic I'm writing.)

But in my failed efforts to do that, I found another thread discussing why some people don't like female Yuus. Basically, it boiled down to two reasons. One is just plain ol' misogyny. Honestly, that explanation is about as surprising as if Crowley did turn out to be the final boss, since it pops up in not just all fandoms, but everyday life. I do think that's a huge part of it. But the second one was that some people think a female Yuu "breaks their suspension of disbelief." Sorry, I have to call bullshit on that. In reality, a straight up female presenting Yuu is more possible than what one might think. Because...

Crowley is willing to bend the rules whenever it suits his agenda. With Crowley most likely being the final boss and the one that brought Yuu to Twisted Wonderland in the first place, him breaking the rules to have female or genderqueer Yuu stay to fulfill his plans seems super in character for him. Plus, even if that weren't the case, Crowley already allows a fae war general that is centuries old, a grown ass lion man, the son of a man who bribed him to into accepting him (which is highly illegal on both ends) and a literal fucking goddamn robot to attend there. If Crowley is willing to all that slide, I think he would do the same for a female or genderqueer Yuu. Yuu has nowhere else to go, so that gives him even more of an incentive to bend the rules in that instance.

News Flash— all male Yuus are "breaking the rules", too. Yuu is magicless in the canon and no one without magic is able to attend NRC at all. If Yuu was genderqueer or a girl, that's just an added reason and nothing more.

Female staff and faculty working at all-boys school is completely normal. Hell, my cousin's girlfriend even used to work at an all-boy's school as a cook, and she never had to hide her gender to work there. It's not that big of a stretch for a female Yuu to work as a janitor at the start and have others know about her presence and gender for Crowley to just give her a spot as a student like in the canon. The same could be said with genderqueer Yuu.

Outside of changing a couple lines, the game would be virtually the same. Yuu is already a blank slate and a self insert, so they could be any gender, race, sexuality, etc you want without it affecting the overall plot a ton.

I doubt any of the named guys in the story would care that much about Yuu's gender. Sure, the Sunset Savannah guys would be much less rough on her and be more helpful. And sure, I can see small to medium style changes to how the cast would interact with Yuu if she was a girl or female presenting. (Like for example, I can see Ace and Deuce being more protective of a female Yuu while Riddle would treat her the exact same as the canon.) But I doubt they would fuss over it and treat her like a princess like the RSA boys. Hell, if anything, I think the fact that she's a literal alien from another world where Disney is a thing would be far more lucrative to them, especially Azul, who is known for wanting huge secrets to use for his advantage. Not something as minor as her gender.

As for outsiders, it's revealed during Book 6 that Crowley lies constantly to the press and others about the overblots. I can't see him doing anything different in this situation.

Honestly, if we follow that logic to its conclusion, then the school wouldn't allow anyone of any other gender besides cis guys period, including non-binary and other genderqueer people, which is...yikes. While I highly doubt most people saying this are intentionally being transphobic nor would I ever accuse anyone of being that by saying that statement in of itself, but that's how it comes across to me.

Most important of all, there's a female Yuu in the Savanaclaw manga, who, at least far as I've seen, is not confirmed to be hiding her gender.

So, yeah. If you aren't a fan of female Yuu fics or RP, that's fine, and to each their own. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and preferences. Yuus of other genders are cool, too. I've read some great fics with male and gender nonbinary Yuus. I just think the argument that the universe and fan content would have to bend over backwards for a female Yuu to exist holds no water. In reality, it's more possible than what some want to think.
