Why do all my Pokémon insist on resting on my head? My head if for my hat! Not Pokémon!

[sandrockianblues]

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of talks about the sandrock builder customization and how people been wanting more body types, although I’ve seen people being rude about it tbh, just the way talk about the female builder’s body is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. how do you feel about this?

Hi anon, thank you for asking me my opinion on this 💜💜

While it’s been more than a year of people vocalizing their desire in having sliders/ options/ different presets- only recently has the female builder’s body been complained about to the extent where I think a larger issue needs to be addressed.

Body shaming is still body shaming.

To pull some quotes I’ve seen:

“…small and childlike”

“…body types are definitely something that looks like an adult.” (In ref to Grace and Heidi bodies)

“…give us more mature body types too”

“I’m a baby.”

“…really awkward”

“Downright comical”

“…would love my builder to look more adult.”

“my builder looks like a toddler being walked to school by her husband haha.”

“I’m not a fan of looking like a child.”

“general proportions” (in ref to what the “issue” is)

“currently is kinda twigy”

And in discussion for future installments or advancements within the game:

“it’d be great if they got rid of that look.”

“I do hope they move away from it in the future.”

*this is about the female player body- I cannot speak on behalf of the male player body completely*

As someone who is personally significantly shorter than the builder myself and has a petite or smaller frame- this was very degrading to read comments of.

While I’m a huge advocate for any sort of character customization implements that can be involved such as height sliders/presets/ weight sliders/ whatever else, and I believe that you should have the right to vocalize your wants-

What I don’t believe is that it should come with mocking and criticizing the current female body of the player.

And I truly hope that this look isn’t just scrapped and gotten rid of.

Those under 5’2” are already misrepresented or just not represented enough as adults in games a large majority of the time. We often get stuck with characters that have larger or more curves than we do. Characters of average or taller height. Modelesque to curvaceous characters.

I’m not saying these physical wants for characters shouldn’t be implemented or that they should be ignored. I’m saying you can ask or wish for them without putting down those who do have smaller builds. Those without an hourglass figure or who legitimately are a foot or two shorter than the person they choose to become romantically involved with.

While this is something that me, family, friends, etc have dealt with our whole lives- those of us who have fallen on the very shorter side of the scale, I’m not going to standby and watch it be incorporated into a game that has quickly become one of my top two favorites in the past year of playing it.

Criticizing- not critiquing, there is a huge difference- the female player body as it stands right now and making harsh jokes about it is seen by those who happen upon these posts or threads and can identify with the body themselves. I know a number of short and petite people who are playing My Time at Sandrock, and if I’m being completely honest, this may be the first time we had a more comfortable experience with a character that can be customized for ourselves.

The builder is in their early 20s and also created by a small Chinese indie game company called Pathea. Think of how many of those who are more prone to those heights or body frames have been criticized alone. This game is possibly more prominent in China right now given that they have an online website we ourselves can’t translate. They’re aware of new merch and such we’ve yet to receive official news on.

Also for reference:

Yes, average height.

It may be fun to joke about how it looks to you, but for some people… this is our reality.

No, not all short people have dwarfism. No, not all petite people are just not eating enough. And yes, some of us may not have the ample assets that most women do have. And it’s something we’ve had to deal with our whole lives.

Implying that a taller height and a curvy figure or an incredible bust size is what makes a “mature” and “more adult” look is beyond insensitive. To imply that it is “what makes a girl a woman” is horrifically humbling to read.

And I do mostly see this body shaming of short or petite stature and height coming from mostly women. One cannot preach for body positivity if they continuously exclude and demoralize a body type. It’s hypocritical, it’s demeaning.

Comparing the female player body to the likes of Grace or Heidi or Jane- beyond saying it’s just the type of build one may want, as in, using them as a comparison to further degrade the current body, is yes, still body shaming and something a lot of us have worked hard to try and not compare ourselves to.

Does this have to do with me writing short female characters? Beyond the fact that I am short myself? Yes. Because it’s gotten to the point where if it’s not body shaming, it is fetishizing or glorifying the idea of being smaller than the average short height. And I want some readers to be able to read of a short character that isn’t “gremlin” or “closer to hell evil” or “feral” sometimes. Because that’s stereotyping. And we’ve been stereotyped our whole lives.

The female builder is in her early to mid 20s, around 5’2”, taller than some characters (that aren’t children), has a notable ass and chest- and yet while that’s how some of us look or it’s a bit more, “she’s not a woman”?

I have dated and befriended men from 5’ to 6’5”- and shockingly, men have been less prone to making me feel as less of a woman than the comments from my own gender have. I have shown and read these comments to my father, male friends, brothers and such only to see them become irritated that women are body shaming this body type. Pointing out the hypocrisy and some of the shallow remarks.

This is akin to a post I saw:

Unrealistic and far fetched right? How do you think we felt- those of us who were 5’2” or below.

Someone who is quite literally the same exact height as Andy irl and in my twenties.

I could go into the whole aspect of having to reanimate or rig the characters and players for cutscenes and interactions. I can dive into the whole deal with the “baby face” expressions (and yes, some people just do have a “baby face”). I can stand on Pathea’s side who has worked tirelessly and with several issues they had to work past. The deadlines and due dates they’ve had to push back while early access fans still cheered them on for support. Or I can point out that this game is rated with an E10+ rating.

But this post isn’t about that.

Preach for what you want or options you’d like to see. But no, let’s not make callous remarks and harsh jokes on the player’s body. Let’s not just suggest they get rid of it entirely.

Women are supposed to support women. How about we stop deciding bust size and height is what makes you a “real woman”?

[stestir]

Heres my rant about Amethio age discussion and why I think the age range excuse is stupid. I should probably keep this out of the main tag, but I'm tired, sick, and angry, so idc.

Big really angry rant under the line.

So please can anyone explain to me why everyone thought that VAs comment about Amethio being a teen means hes between 13-19 and also 100% CAN be a 19 years old?

Cause English says that a teen is between 13 and 19? Well we all know that English has a lot of stupid stuff in it, so doesnt really count. Plus, quick reminder, this is anime. Japan. The meaning behind teenager could be very different here.

The difference between 13 and 19 years old is so contrast that giving Amethio this range in the first place is moronic. A 13 years old still needs to ask their daddy to go out with their friends. 19 years old already expected to pay taxes, move out of the house, is probably already on a antidepressants.

And the thing is, Amethio doesnt even act like a 19 years old! He acts like a 14 years old emo that tries his very best to look serious and is desperate for attention.

The whole his beef with Friede is a big ass example of this, that Anime just shoves into your face! Amethio becames irrated immediately after Friede stops giving attention to him, everything in his actions screams "Take me seriously!" He wants to be seen as a professional serious trainer by someone who has authority [ Friede ] and is hurt when it doesnt happen. Its literally how neglected children act.

Also the whole excuse with "B-but hes working with Explorers and has his own subordinates that he commands" GUESS WHO ALSO A MINOR BUT IS A BOSS OF A SHIP? ZUKO. The literal icon of redemption arcs. He also was casted away in the age of 13 and had a whole small army under his command. Does that make him an adult? NO. Both Amethio and Zuko are clearly special, thats why they both are forced into a weapon by their respective parential abusers [ Ozai / Gibeon ], and given some special privileges to make it seem that thse abusers love them, when in fact they are just using them.

He doesnt look like a 19 years old either! His body type barely resembles one of Friede or Spinel, both being a clear cut adults. And before someone says "Well I think that Friede looks 20 and that Amethio is just a really twigy guy" no hes bloody not! Reminder, this is pokemon, we have Lusamine and Cyrus that look like 20 and 40, but actually the opposite. And the thing is, Amethio closely resembles Silver with his body! Whos, yk, A CANONICAL 13 YEARS OLD.

What is more hysterical to me is when the Interviews AND Anime itself start to make parallels between Amethio and the kid Trio, whos, yk, OBVIOUSLY KIDS. Like- in both interviews before the big arcs the boy was compared to Liko & Roy [ And Dot, by extension. ] Amethio was literally called a kid alongside the kid Trio, [ One of the kids that still havent found their dream ] which not only makes him a minor, but also puts him the same age group with Liko, Roy and Dot!

And Anime situation is even more comedic. Khem khem. Literally an episode that got out not so long ago, 44. Amethio is called a spoiled brat by Sango [ Which already makes him a kid, but alas ]. Guess who was also called a spoiled kid? LIKO. BY MOLLIE IN THE ABROLIVA EPISODE. Liko, whos canonically we seen as a child child in the episode 18, was called the same thing as Amethio. I get that Anime tries to make parallels between them in general, but that doesnt matter to me now. The most important thing is - they are both viewed as a kids. Yk. MINORS.

Ending this, I'll say - Amethio is a barely 14, maybe at maximum 15, and he is sure is not a 19 years old. I'm sure hes in the same age bracket as Liko, Roy and Dot.

Also AmeFriede is the worst ship that deserves its own place in hell, alongside AmeSpinel. I hate both of these. They are bad from all perspectives.

[ Also, this is the angriest I felt lately, so I wont probably post any other rants like that. This is just me being beaten down by flu and projecting my anger towards this shitty and stupid "discussion". ]

[youkaitwig]

Right... So. I'm Twigy or Zoey or Lilith. All are fine, kinda use them all interchangeablely these days. I'm a transfeminine genderfluid person. Have a preference for She/Her or They/Them but don't mind neo-pronouns. Just... no masculine ones, please.

So. Realising I was trans was a bit of a nightmare. Small rural-ish town meant that I wasn't really exposed to much in the way of anything LGBTQA. While I had thoughts of being a girl when I was young, I legitimately thought everyone had thought like that. So for years there was just this silent thought in the back of my mind. "What if I was a girl?" Little did my kid self know.

I didn't really address it until I was in my late teens. I always hated how I looked and tried a bunch of ways to try and make it work. Never did. Around this time, I also got into a few things and kinda... stopped caring if people saw my hobbies and likes as effeminate. Even looked into potentially crossdressing but it didn't go anywhere because trying to source clothing back then was even harder as I didn't know sizes nor any good stores.

I also entered a relationship with another guy online but... that's honestly something I look back on with a little pain these days. A lot of this time is honestly a muddled mess in my head. But I think it was my later teens to early adult years when I finally made that connection.

That I was most likely transgender and have been suffering from gender dysphoria for quite awhile. So while I was figuratively and kind of literally in the closet in my real life, my online presence changed a good bit. I came out and.. well kinda didn't do a whole lot. Most of the communities I'm in were already positive on the LGBTQA front so it was an easy transition in that sense.

But... oh boy. Trying to get any progress to transition in a physical state? It took multiple years and the realisation that my prior GP was pretty much dicking me around to get any progress regarding it. Been two years since I got mess sorted.

But I kinda only really started to really put in effort to changing about a year back. A bit of envy during a spiral of depression set it into motion. Started to kinda.. Figure what makes me into me. But the thing is?

I don't know. I'm trying to piece together a puzzle without a solution. But the more I thought and the less it made sense and the less my identity even made sense. But then I kinda realised something.

I've always been trying to rebuild from what I once was. What I was metaphorical broken of. When I had that revelation, I realised that I might be genderfluid because there are days and even weeks that I genuinely do feel that I fit more into the definition of non-binary. It's always been there. Like how I'm also female on others. It was this that I stopped looking at the pieces of my broken self and started to do something.

I started anew. While I had done a few things like getting piercings and my hair dyed. I started changing more. More piercings I would never thought I would ever get. Clothing that I would never thought I would own. And even getting confirmation that I have ASD.

So I exist here. Still trying to rebuild myself once more. But from a fresh start. It's kinda rough honestly because I still don't fully understand... Well, me. It's a slow process but one I am getting through.

[twig-the-edgelord]

so there's domestic twig (small and potato like) and there's wild twig (big spindly and scary, probably lives in the woods) but there seems to be a middle ground where twigy is as small as domestic twig and as bloodthirsty as wild twig

*pulls out comically small clipboard*

I do plan on posting info about the wild and domestic Twigs however I’m either too busy or too hyperfixated on things to do it

[4typercent]

hey there sending a raven to ask:

who is your favourite endless and why?

Oh no, "and why"? Why must you do this to me?! Just kidding! :D

Favourite Endless: Dream, King of Dreams and Nightmares, Lord Morpheus.

What a dramatic fool. He's a dingus, and he's wonderful. He's smart and sharp as a tack. He can usually get out unscathed, and I admire that. I'm curious to see the beautiful things he used to create, to be completely honest. -> Look no further than The Dreaming. That place is amazing! The teller of stories and holder of the collective unconscious, he has quite the weight on his proud (twigy) shoulders. He makes poor choices, and he pays for them. To me, he's the most human of the Endless besides Death, I think he'd make a poor friend at first, but he'd be one worth fighting for, then he's your friend until the end.

Plus: he can be a cat. Cats are cool!

Who is your favourite Endless?

I absolutely love this little baby, Twig is so energetic, goofy and loving, I can’t wait to see them all grown up.

"Security is an illusion. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."

Introduction

Eiji Noguchi is the second member of the Ginza Division rap battle team, Last Judgment. He is often called by his MC name, MC Mogul. A self-made billionaire and tycoon, Eiji is the creator, CEO, and president of the popular social media platform, PROFILE, and its parent company, Sigma Incorporated. By taking over the Internet and transforming social interaction, there is little to nothing now that can stop this wealthy businessman from seeking to spread his influence not only across all of Japan, but also across the entire known world.

Eiji is a man in his late 30s, though, by the lines on his face, he may seem to be a bit older. He is in shape, despite not having any noticeable muscles and being very slim. He has jet-black hair that is in a mohawk style. He also has a full-grown beard and a trimmed mustache that is the same color. He has gray eyes, which most of the time seem slanted, making him look tired when truly he is as alert as can be. His most interesting feature is that he has a prosthetic left leg, which he lost during a car accident.

At work, he is typically seen wearing business suits. His trademark suit consists of a white buttoned-down dress shirt, a red striped tie, and a dark blue suit jacket with matching dress pants that are secured with a black belt with a silver belt buckle. He also has a gray skull charm on the right collar of his suit jacket. Finally, he wears a pair of black dress shoes with matching-colored dress socks.

Hypnosis Microphone

Eiji's Microphone is an iPhone with a gold metallic covering. On the back of the phone, a pink diamond is embedded in the center.

His Speaker takes the form of three emojis: 'Happy', 'Sad', and 'Angry'. All three revolve around in a circle. The speakers are inside the emojis' mouths.

His rap ability, Firewall, allows Eiji to raise a defensive barrier around himself and his teammates, protecting them from most attacks. He can keep this up as long as he wishes, but the more he does, the more stamina he uses up.

Eiji's rap themes revolve around his social media platform. He also tends to rap about how the world is continuing to evolve, and that humanity must evolve along with it. Those that refuse to do so will be left behind. He also uses a lot of business sense in his rhymes, talking about money and success.

Personality

An astute businessman with a love for technology and science, Eiji is a man who firmly believes that the future of the world lies in technology. He believes that in the future, mankind will soon leave the real world behind and spend the majority of their lives in cyberspace, where they will be free to do anything they please. 'The only limitation we will have will be our own imaginations,' he is often quoted as saying. It was for this reason that he created PROFILE, a social media platform that has quickly taken the entire world by storm and placed him in the media's eye.

He cares for PROFILE very much, considering it his brainchild which caused him to become the businessman he is today. With ingenuity, hard work, and a little bit of luck, he was able to cause PROFILE to become the most popular and most talked about social media site in the world, which allows people to show off their private, and not-so-private, everyday lives. From Kaiji Sano's cosplay pictures, to 86's most impressive performances, to "The Valkyrie's" recent fights and knockouts, to even Lola Takahashi's alleged sex tape.

Eiji knows that there are people out there who use PROFILE for not what it was intended for. However, he believes the blame falls on their shoulders, not his.

It's unknown what caused Eiji's love of technology to appear. Some believe that it may have had something to do with the accident that caused him to lose his entire left leg. Others believe that he was just blessed with an incredible mind to see and understand the workings of electronics. However, those in the know, know that the real reason is due to the sickness his youngest daughter was plagued with at birth. He hopes to someday find a successful cure for her condition, which is why he works so hard.

Besides that, Eiji is known to be very straightforward and is quick to get straight to the point, which he also encourages others to do. He is a good businessman and employer, and has a good understanding of business, being able to read between the lines and understand what a person is actually trying to say. He is also a firm believer in the phrase, 'Time is money,' and lives heavily by that quote, refusing to do anything that would cause him not to increase his bank account. He believes heavily in the power of money and knows that the more a person has, the more influence they carry.

Aside from that, Eiji is also known to be a good family man at heart, loving and caring dearly for the people close to him in his life. He loves his wife and children immensely, is thankful to his parents for raising him, and appreciates the support his sisters give him. 'They are the reason why I work so hard, and the reason for why I do what I do,' he once stated in an interview. 'They remain my biggest supporters, and without them, I'd be nowhere.'

Background

Coming in a separate post.

Trivia

His HypMic is a Falcon Supernova iPhone 6 Pink Diamond, the most expensive iPhone on the market today.

His birthday is the same day that Facebook was created.

He has met and spoken with Otome Tohoten on a number of occasions. What exactly they speak about is unknown, but it may have something to do with his social media site, seeing as how even the Prime Minister of Japan has one, though it is blocked to the general public.

He has reportedly donated millions of dollars to technologists and scientists, making him well-liked among the science community.

He is good friends with Misa Arakawa of Koto. Rumors spread that Sigma Inc. and Arakawa Industries may enter a partnership with each other sometime next year.

His favorite brand of cigarettes is Lucky Strike.
