I want so badly to live in blissful ignorance and imagine that an ace attorney world with Fem!Phoenix and Fem!Edgeworth would be totally the same except with cool women lawyers, but I fear the casual sexism of the early otts would heavily impact the plot :(

i need everyone to remember this one simple thing when designing characters: everything on your character is their direct choice. their hair, jewlery, tattoos, clothing, all of it is their conscious choice.

so, when (re)designing trans characters, keep this rule in mind. example:

would this trans man/masc and/or enby get top surgery? consider if they would have enought money, go through the surgery, go through the healing journey, if they have top dysphoria. they're not just pretty marks, top surgery scars are a sign of the journey of recovery.

this also aplies to cultural and religious significance. gauged earlobes, hair length, length of clothing/modesty, and clothing colors/fabrics.

remembering this rule will keep your characters consistent and realistic! yippee

okay, bc i have seen this argument alot now (and it also seems to be the view point of aonuma himself..) is that "zelda cant do everything link does bc whats the point then"

and i take personal offense on that bc its a stupid argument (in. my. very. personal. opinion.- not judging people for liking it. its a ME thing)

whats the point? its that its her. its still a different character, different in story, background, personality, but i WANT to play zelda and she can do everything link does, why does she have to be so restricted and be bend over backwards to find some new way to make her 'useful' when link gets to do basically everything no questions asked (the only thing thats hers is like .. sealing power and sacrificial maiden, which i find a little underwhelming to say the least), if theres no point to it why are there always modders that model swap link with someone else, and in that case it has even less impact bc its an artificial model swap with no changes to the story (which can and should still be different when its the vanilla game with a different protagonist... its still a different character), clearly theres joy in just the model being a different one- and that isnt even to mention the story possibilities, since, again, its stil a different character

if we ever (never ... i know who we are talking about here) get to play as ganondorf i want to him to be just as versatile and active as link is, if we got a point and click adventure game for him instead bc 'whats the point' id be disappointed too- you can find any sort of excuse/explanation for zelda to be singled out but the fact remains it tracks with how female characters are often treated, and that hits a very sore spot for me

i guess i am unfortunately one of those annoying people that want to see female characters be treated exactly the same as male characters, possibly bc i am myself afab but identify as agender and have a deeply personal dislike for anything 'traditional' feminine bc i cannot and never will be able to truly live as myself in real life, it influences all of my work, my work is as just as much as my opinion on this, very personal

and in line with my point about modding, i see theres joy in just beign able to play as her even if its like this, i get that, i also get it for the creative aspect (though that mechanic worries me even more for the future bc it really seems to be the path now that -freedom = good, linear anything = bad-) it is a different idea and its not like i cant see that value- im not trying be "right" either, just bc i have that opinion doesnt mean i need everyone to agree, its a very personal thing, if you like it good for you! not for me though, and i think both of that is equally valid

i just personally wish she was allowed to be just like link, fight just like him but be different bc its still her and not him in the end- to be physically/playstyle like jsut like him, but you know ... as her, i dont think shed stop being zelda if she could wield a sword just like him

i dont really know how to get my point/feelings across, i dont want to step too much into personal stuff nor spam people with something that ultimately doesnt interest me alot, im just saddened by it really

(EDIT: bc i forgot to add this on here again; this isnt as much of a problem as it might sound like here, just the main topic i wanted to talk about; why im so uninterested in it is MAINLY bc i dont trust them to write anything interesting/care about lore anymore after totk, im always on the more pessimistic side that thinks its most likely worse than id hope and i know even the past games arent perfect or super interestingly written, but now its much more just a general distrust, together with everything like the price ... im just much less hopeful and cant get excited until i see more of it, like im waiting for the game to get out and reveal that its just as much of a mess and money i regret spending- kind of fear)

Have to remind myself I’m gay every time he’s on screen. Making Gambit and Magneto this cunty was uncalled for.

[sesamestreep]

it really is SUCH a shame that there’s no episode of TOS where the enterprise crew time jumps to Regency-era England or goes to a planet that modeled its culture on that era or something, because it would truly slap for every single main character. Like I don’t even have to explain why this would be awesome for Spock— Mr. I’ll-smash-a-computer-with-my-bare-hands-before-I’ll-admit-I’m-horny himself, king of repression, who basically recreated the famous Pride and Prejudice Hand Flex Scene™️ with his beloved Captain that one time, who meets a blind woman with a high tech gown that helps her “see” and LITERALLY tells her to give his compliments to her dressmaker, who mislead a woman once about his affections and tenderly promised to safeguard her reputation forever about it, who has the perfect angular features to be set off by a cravat—I mean, you get it, but then you’ve also got Kirk—handsome, affable, brave Naval captain who loves his crew more than himself, who falls in like deep profound love with every woman the plot throws at him—and then McCoy—cantankerous, sure, (ever heard of a grumpy/sunshine trope??) but with impeccable, downright old school manners towards women and, yeah, a doctor’s not that prestigious in Regency times, but for like a young lady in trouble who needs the protection of a man’s name or who just wants to piss off her stuffy aristocrat family by marrying “beneath” them, who could be better? If you throw Scotty in the mix, well, he’s Scottish, which [points at a whole subgenre of regency romance novels] is all he’d really need. I’m just saying they would have CLEANED UP, okay??

I need to know more about Alpha Lando. I always bucket him as an omega with internalized omegaphobia who wishes he were an alpha so he postures hard that way but it's not natural so that's why he comes off as insecure, awkward and too snappy sometimes. But I would like to maybe have my mind changed!!!

Okay this is going to be long. Here's the alpha Lando thesis.

Lando is an alpha. But he has this "not like the other alphas" complex. He's sometimes seen as more prissy, a little too soft to be an alpha. He's never been aggressive enough, so he feels inferior even though he's done nothing wrong. When he has to turn up the aggression on track etc it feels like a performance because that isn't really who he is.

So he gets a lot of shit for not reacting the way people expect alphas to react. He often gets compared to Max who of course is what people expect an alpha to be in F1. This of course taps into some insecurities regarding actual performance on track compared to Max etc.

All that posturing comes from a place of society telling him he's doing a bad job at being an alpha compared to his peers, and he's constantly torn between wanting to give them what they want, and being more true to himself.

However he also does think he's better than a lot of the other alphas on the grid. He has a soft side that he's not afraid to show, and that makes him stand out to omegas. Is he a bit annoying about that fact? Yes. Does it also annoy the other alphas? Yes. Is it working with omegas? Also yes.

And he does have a temper, and it does come out on track, sometimes that helps, sometimes it doesn't. We've seen it before. The media like prodding at him to try to get a reaction, they want him to explode and give them a more aggressive alpha side so they can have this whole alpha posturing battle between his rivals. He's refused to give them that for the most part. That's where a lot of the tension in the media pen came from in 2024.

Exhibit A

the alpha paws. Sorry these are the hands of an alpha made for grabbing omega waists. He completely swallows Oscar's little omega paws.

Exhibit B

We have broad alpha shoulders. This is especially obvious when you compare him to his omega teammate.

The other thing to know about alpha Lando is that he does have that party bro side. That's his temperament, he's here to have a good time and go to clubs and dance. This is often comforting to certain shyer omegas he may be going out with (cough Oscar cough)

Sometimes he is a little scattered and forgetful, but ultimately he is a good alpha who is very concerned with getting the approval of his omega partners.

Now I would not characterize him as a soft alpha. He's a little more complicated than that. He has a more sensitive side but he can be pretty brash and come across quite harsh when he wants to be. He's got an edge to him that he hasn't let anyone smooth over.

This is where we get the "not like the other alphas" mentality. Like no he's not aggressive and snappy like most alphas or like what the media wants him to be, but he's also not one of those cringe soft alphas that get shit on for basically being betas(that would make him way too insecure) so he's kind of doing his own thing out there and bless but sometimes it makes him a whole mess.

Because you see alpha Lando is very complex, he has flaws, but those make him more interesting to study.

Seen at least one (1) person complain about Crocodile losing his "unique faceshape" (now having the same facial structure that 90% of OP men have) after episode 1086 came out and like

To be fair, yes, the shape of his head HAS changed since his first appearance in The Year 2000. The thing is, Toei's latest Crocodile Offering is frankly more in-line with how Oda drew Crocodile during Impel Down and Marineford than ever before. Like yeah he looks different, but this change isn't new

But that comment really did make me think about how FUNNY it is just how different Croc really looks from his first appearance, like. The evolution in how Oda draws the bastard is so facinating to me

These are from chapters 155, 160 and 205 respectively.

No massive changes happening here in the middle of the arc, but you can kinda tell that Oda was definitely still figuring out how this asshole was supposed to look as he got further into the Alabasta (which is perfectly normal), which just makes That First Appearance look even funnier with time because. Who the fuck is that lmaooo

But then we get to see him briefly during Miss Goldenweek's cover story, this being from the cover of chapter 413! All things considdered, bastard hasn't changed that much, still looks pretty much the same as in Alabasta. His head is maybe a little less elongated than before but still, chin is quite pointy still

And now we're in Impel Down at chapter 540. Again, dude looks about the same as he did before...

But it really doesn't take long for Oda to start reshaping this bastard's entire head at this point

Chapters 544, 546, 578, and cover of chapter 584

The chin is easily the most obvious part, but you can tell Oda kind of defaulted to giving him that same ol' evenly square-ish head most his conventionally attractive characters have during these story arcs (instead of the elongated shape he originally had).

And then we have the latest appearances, from 1082 and 1100

I do feel like comparing these to what's come before would be a little unfair considdering his health and eyesight and how those affect the artwork itself, but. They're there, for comparison's sake

But the point is still there. Crocodile's face shape has changed since his first appearance, but it's not like Toei was behind that, the change was (mostly) gradual and from Oda himself. And it mostly happened in 2008, so it's not new by any means either

So really, all Toei did was just update his character model because ⬆️ is more accurate than ⬇️ for One Piece right now

Regardless. The sheer difference between the two is hysterical to me
