god but imagine being Edwin, who was given to a demon (and worse) against his will. Who was never left alone. Who wasn't just put inside a little box in his own head but who was torn apart and apart and apart just because of someone else's cruelty. And then think of him being yelled at by Crystal in episode one, being told she was scared by Charles, being told to be sympathetic only to learn that Crystal chose to let her demon in. And like obviously I understand that she's a dumb kid and David manipulated her, but to Edwin. He already barely has the space to feel sympathy for her very brief time as a hand puppet compared to his 70 years, but to learn she knew what David was and welcomed it? And had the fucking nerve to act like a victim and drag him and Charles into very real danger (to drag Edwin back into the path of his demons)? It's incredible Edwin didn't react worse tbh, and makes his meltdown all the more heartbreaking.

(and after all of that, Crystal doesn't even remember it. How much does Edwin wish he could conveniently forget hell. But no, he was forced into it, and forced to remember every agonizing second of it)

Once again saw someone accusing Pathfinder being a min/ max horror, and guys, find a new table to play with. All ttrpgs can be min/ maxed horrors, including the current holy 5e. Yes, even 5e. Dislike a game for the game, not how some players play it.

If I hear one more person unironically claim pathfinder shoehorns you into a single build for each class - especially if they praise 5es simplified character creation with zero critical thought - i might lose it. If you seriously think thats how any ttrpg game runs, pls, for the love of whichever higher power is listening, find new people to play with.

Also, seriously, theres so many good ttrpgs out there beyond 5e (or dnd and pathfinder in general); if all you do is preach 5e and hate other games for things that are not inherently a part of those games, you sound foolish.

i love jan suk (because he is an idiot) and i do love johan/jan suk because it is hilarious but i do think johan would never say "im actually a boy" to jan for 2 reasons. reason no 1 being he sees no difference between himself and nina so on some level he must think of himself as being a girl. reason no 2 is that thats just a transmisogynistic trope why are you doing that

i think if i was a better person i would find comfort in some sort of nonbinary label but my mom spent so long implying that she didnt really believe i was a guy because i dress alt and wear jewelry and so many ppl just see enbies as Woman Lite that i just kind of dont want to. touch it

It would be insane if we weaponized mommy issues against men the way we weaponize daddy issues against women. Any time a man criticizes a woman we go “awww poor little baby boy didn't have a mommy who loved him” and all of his beliefs become embarrassing and he has to exit in shame. Like. Don’t fucking do that, but it would be absolutely insane if people did that.

Just a not so friendly reminder that Pride also celebrates non-white cisgendered gay men and everyone who doesn't acknowledge the contributions of BIPOC, or trans members of the lgbtq community can go rot in the hell the Christians love to tell us we're going to. Love and hugs 🥰

Why do you have to mention terfs in a post unrelated to trans people? I don't want mention of terfs on my blog man, they will reblog anyways that doesn't stop anyone ever, come on

i am a trans person (re)posting it, so it is related to trans people

academically speaking, i think that kobeni would be the dom and quanxi the sub

Bought transtape kinda impulsively a few weeks ago and I want to try it (I spent some of my limited money on it for a reason) but uh. uhhh. It says to be in a good headspace when you do it but I am Mentally Ill, how am I supposed to know. What if my tiddies are swollen from my cycle, is that chill to use still? And I don't want to put it on and have a panic attack. I lasted 24 hours with the test strip, I overstretched it so it started to pinch and I took it off frantically late at night. And then I start thinking about the Implications. Like "what's your identity really?" "oh so you pull your tits up and to the side to see what it would look like. Instagram reels shows you shirtless ppl who've had top surgery and you stare, do you want top surgery? you know that's irreversible." "your friends know you're she/they and only use they, you miss the she, is that demanding to ask, or not nonbinary enough of you?" "you're actually secretly still cis and thus you shouldn't be doing all this trans stuff." raaaaaaaa goddam just leave me alone and let me live

It's like some kinda hyperfixation. I saw motivational videos for cis women who got double mastectomies and I was hypnotized. Now I use she/they but privately. feel so alienated when I see ppl on Instagram gendering everything. Why do "boy" and "girl" have these qualities assigned to them, like they're intrinsic? this one pisses me off the most

shut up, please. I'm tired. Society said I need to hide my breasts under clothing, and even then don't show them too much. Society says I am constantly unsafe because of my assigned gender at birth. And now I'm having a gender crisis and gaslighting myself deeper into the closet.

I'm not putting my pronouns on my resume, cisgender professor. Googling "pronouns on resume" gives a lot of results either acknowledging or directly from dusty narrowminded CEOs. It's "virtue signaling", it's "woke", it's "extra drama for the workplace".

All this rambling is because I have to submit one of my best papers to be used as a sample in my resume, and I have two papers that concern gender identity. Wish it wasn't a political statement to use them. I'm going to anyway, I value authenticity and they ARE really good papers. It's just hard, all of it.

God, I need to take a piss. And a shower. Plus $100+ and doing my pile of homework. I'll start with the piss.

The Snyderverse was a artistic hollow, emotionally stunted, intellectually shallow era of movies made by and for those who just want things to look badass, cool, and aggressively masculine.

I love living in the country around spring and summer time. All the wide open space, waters, honey golden sunsets, long car drives to no man's land with my favorite music on. Just feeling free, content with life, everything is right where it belongs.

it's an important lesson to remember that your personal experiences are not universal, that even the most 'basic' things that we think makes us human may not be the case.

Jason being girl coded is important to me because he's the character I've been talking about for years when i said, "Men are allowed to be emotional." and how patriarchy has fucked men head to be thinking anything related to emotions are women-like, making most of them repressed their emotions out of shame and mask it through irony and joke or apathy and indifference only for it to explode on other people face in a form of anger or violence after they repressed it for long. And those "other people" who have to bare this are commonly women and children.

Being happy for having a male character to be girl coded is not a refusal to like existing female characters. People are just happy to find representation in a "male" character after years of being told that being that emotional or "hysterical" over something is what "women" do. I know it's unintentional on Winnick part to write him like that, but it shows that "Hey, there's nothing wrong with a male being like this (showing emotion)."

Jason is girl coded because he allow himself to feel his emotions. He's one of "the girls" because he embrace his emotions.

So like chill dude (gnc) (that one commenter) i love the girls, but we're just happy seeing a man not following the stereotypes

Thank you anon.

I will refuse to answer the other asks I got, asking if I'm a terf or telling me to stan female characters instead. Because this anon has explained my feelings on this issue really well.

And I'm definitely not a terf, I'm non-binary, as it says right there in my bio, and many of my followers and mutuals are non-binary, trans and/or queer. When we talk about Jason and gender, it's because gender is really fucking complicated. And you don't get to police the way that queer people talk about their experience, no matter how queer you might be as well.

When I say that Jason is girl-coded, it is with a certain irony to the fact that we even call this girl-coded at all.

Anyway, don't send me asks demanding me to not say something. Instead try to send me asks where you do say something. Turn your anon off and lets talk about gender and sexism like adults. Pro tip, if you're phrasing yourself differently on anon than you would without anon? Then rephrase yourself.

reading about Wedge, tsundere extraordinaire, reluctantly bonding with Captain Mabbot and her pirate crew is so so sweet, actually 🥺🙏💕

your daily reminder to never, ever go into the notes of a popular post. brought to you by me clicking into the notes on a post i liked only to find an absolute cesspool

this question is always not nuanced enough so.

this is specifically about pet animals, whether you have/can have them, which pet do you like/want the most. also idek why im making this poll i already know what the answer is
