okok i know this is a little off topic for the breast be gone but, if your name isn't sergle, where's that come from? in retrospect idk why I didn't suspect you had a Real Person Name hidden somewhere but now I am a regular amount of curious lol

as is Often The Case, the real answer is a boring one!! I just made up something that sounded funny to me! I think I was around 14 or 15 when I made this name.

the fake answer: It's actually an acronym, not my name.

one thing no one really prepares you for when reading the locked tomb the first time is how many times you'll read some meme reference and have to keep wondering whether you're just chronically online or not

Can Neuvillette feel the emotions of others through their tears in Games of Divinity? I was rereading and in the part where Furina cried in his arms, I couldn't understand if Neuvi felt the relief in her tears or if that's what he assumed it was like, I really love this saga, I never get tired of reading it a thousand times while I wait for a new chapter:,)

Ooh as cool as that might be I don't think he does have that ability...yet. At that point in the story, he could just intuit that Furina was getting something off her chest but he didn't know for sure.

Today's Seal Is: WHARRGARBL

I don't get my fandom. They want more queer rep. The main cast is a bisexual femme woman with a preference for women, an aroace gender-indifferent AMAB man, a genderfluid all-pronouns using AMAB person with a beard who wears a dress, and a biromantic asexual bigender AMAB man who is agender + male. The supporting cast has a lesbian girl, a middle-aged ace het woman living semi-romantically with another woman who is the main cast's (emotional) adoptive mom, and a ambiguously queer character whose gender is never really confirmed or discussed.

A big criticism I also see is "the writing team is all cishet". One, we don't know that, someone could be closeted. Two, why is that a problem? I think it's great that they went, "this makes sense for who this character is. We don't have to force them to be cishetallo just because that's what you normally see in animation. Web animation can be different. This is who this person is and that's fine."

I'm 19. I talked to my half brother, who is 38, about this and he actually choked on his coffee. He said when he was my age, nothing like this was easily accessible for him. It would have been jaw-dropping representation for him. I asked about the writers being cishetallo and he said, "who fucking cares? I would've moved Heaven and Earth to see these characters hanging out and just fucking existing back then!"

I know you get a metric fuckton of asks, but I'd love to hear your take on this. You've been in the queer community way longer than I have (I've barely started interacting with queer people IRL; I grew up in rural Wyoming) and I do wonder what this debacle looks like to people in other age groups. I'd also be curious to know what older people would've thought if they'd seen this friend group in media when they were younger. I know it means a lot to me. But I feel like I don't get what it would have meant back then.

--

Well, written up like this, it might get an eye-roll for sounding like Captain Planet casting. (You know "One of A and one of B and one of C" in a way that feels kind of forced.)

But yes, I think most older queer people when looking at the actual canon would be like "Sweet! A cast full of queer characters!"

I grew up somewhere shockingly liberal for the 90s next door to some old, married lesbians (who still live there, as it happens). It still sucked for teenagers. I had an okay time, but I was always hearing about other teens having an awful time even as the adults in the same communities did okay. And that's a very, very good version of what it was like in the 90s.

I did have access to queer media, vastly more access than most teens had. It was still mostly art films, boring coming out memoir, and The Pain of Being a Minority serious literature. What I wanted was genre fiction with a romance b-plot between queer characters I found hot. There was a bit of that, but not much.

I don't know that I personally would have killed for the exact set of queer rep in a modern show, but that makes sense. There are plenty of identities that present about the same but where people have internal reasons for choosing one or another. There are different forces making one queer identity or another more embattled at a given point in time. So while broadly similar queer people have always existed, there actually are fads in identity to an extent. (This is different from "wharrgarbl, the blue hairs with their pronouns!!!", which is just people being ahistorical assholes.) Modern media does and should reflect these differences. It might be for me, but it's going to be for 40-something me, not teenage me if it's coming out right now. If it's for current teens, it's not for teen me.

But yeah, in a general sense, I agree with your brother: "Damn, we have so much today! That's cool!"

The kvetching is usually people being angry that it's not representing their exact slice of queerness instead of someone else's. Or, let's be honest, a lot of it is "You didn't make my ship happen! How dare?!" dressed up as activism.

...

One thing I will say is that teenagers were extremely dramatic in my day too, and black-and-white thinking was just as common. Looking a gift horse in the mouth is not new. Yes, your fandom is full of idiots, but I wouldn't read too much into it.

saw x liveblog:

this doesn’t look visually anything like a saw movie

john describing himself as something like a life coach is maybe the funniest thing i’ve ever seen

this ancient freak drawing torture devices in his sketchbook at the park is also 👌👌

I miss adam

part of me thinks they should’ve recast amanda since she’s like 20+ years older than her character now, but I also kind of like that she’s the same even if it doesn’t make sense. she’s also still incredibly hot.

I’m glad we’re back to torturing ppl who actually deserve it this is nice

it’s also nice to see some folks who actually fucking want to live for once

ok but on the subject the time limits are stupid if someone is willing to do whatever insane bullshit

the theater keeps erupting into laughter at these people being stupid and that’s such a vibe

this blonde lady did not come to fucking play. icon lowkey

I’d love to talk to amanda’s dad cause I blame him for like. all of this hfbfng

billy shows up and the theater goes “oooOOOooo” like the laugh track when a guest celebrity shows up on a sitcom

blonde lady is a wretched human being and I’m obsessed with her. I don’t support her wrongs but I do support what a fucking queen she is. do what you need to do to survive baby I love you

ok I’m getting sick of the impossible time limit like. if someone is doing what it takes and they just need like 30 more seconds, I think they should get that- it’s about having the will to live and that should be respected

THAT MASK FUCKS

is this a bad time to say I miss my grandpa

in my fix-it, amanda saves gabriela and they’re in lesbians forever 💖

radiation is fucked up

I’m so glad the other ppl in this theater understand that comedy and horror are fundamentally the same thing

GABI MY BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS WITH A DISORDER

blonde lady I have turned my face away from you I can’t wait to watch you die badly

the assorted reprisals of the theme are awesome

BLONDE LADY YOU WILL DIE BY MY HAND

damn she is still serving cunt tho

ngl the chekovs gun of the one (1) spanish word john knows got me it was really obvious but it kinda fucked anyway

haha wharrgarbl

YESSSSSSS THEY CALL THE MOVIE SAW BECAUSE AFTER YOU SEE IT YOU SAW IT

I love to stim at abject horror lol

YEAH BITE EACH OTHER’S DICKS OFF

EVERYONE SHUT UP THAT CLOSING SHOT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING IVE EVER SEEN THEYRE WALKING INTO THE SUNRISE LIKE A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE FAMILY

also my friend pointed out that all the previous movies have ended with a door closing and the series ended with a door opening and that’s actually pretty cool

closing thoughts:

actually an excellent movie! did the series justice, was visually nice if not consistent with the original art, and did an honestly kind of compelling job with its characters. I really enjoyed it! would recommend but only if you’ve watched the rest of the saw movies for context lol

realizing that fiz pop being stored in soda siphons is actually really funny because Colt has no inventory and usually has to heal himself in a state of emergency, with no glass at hand, meaning he had no choice but to spray that hose filled with dubious drug lemonade directly into his mouth like a madman.

Bio: Bibbla never quite fit in or felt comfortable among her fellow asura. She always struggled to express her emotions, stuck in what is essentially a constant state of dissociation. The result is an empty stare which – combined with her overall quiet nature – most people tend to consider unsettling.

Bibbla instead turned to animals for companionship. She found them easier to communicate and bond with. After dropping out of college, Bibbla spent more and more time exploring Maguuma and socializing with the wildlife. Bibbla does not consider any animals her pets. Instead, she has simply established relationships with various creatures, who roam freely and sometimes return to her side when she needs them. 

Shortly after Mordremoth demolished the Pact fleet, Bibbla entered the heart of Maguuma to see if her knowledge and skill might be of any help to the survivors. This is where she met Fielja and Malcefrous, and provided them a small amount of aid as they made their way to confront Mordremoth.

During her time in the region, Bibbla encountered a wyvern hatchling who had been knocked from his nest, and whose mother had been killed. She tended to the hatchling’s wounds and looked after him, naming him Wharrgarbl (after the sound he made when breathing fire). He ended up bonding to her as a surrogate mother, and now follows Bibbla everywhere she goes.

Random tidbits: 

Bibbla does give her frequent animal companions names, though she is not particularly good at naming.

Among Bibbla’s other animal companions are a jungle stalker named Beans, a smokescale named Poof, and a sand lion named Old Man Sandface

Though she struggles in social situations, Bibbla is extremely empathetic, and understands people and subtle social cues very well. Except when it comes to romance. Flirting and dating are truly alien concepts to her.
