a show doesn't necessarily have to be ABOUT queerness to BE a queer show. it's a cultural dialect that cishets don't quite speak.

edit: i gotta clarify that the shows do indeed still have to have actual queer characters in them to count

realizing that people who equate cynicism with intellectual rigor are often just being lazy and pathetic has been so helpful tbh

If Will really did die back in S1, I think Mike would have made a shrine out of all his drawings and toys and other things that reminded him of Will.

Karen would overhear him in the basement murmuring to himself for hours on end, carrying on imaginary conversations with his departed friend.

The other boys would move on with their lives eventually, but not Mike.

Unpopular take- when the time comes Pony cuts his hair far too easily.

Like tearing off a bandaid. He sits on the toilet and lets Soda cut it off, quick and fast and a bit janky. Not as even as there father would have done it, he has a few cuts along his neck from boxing it off but it’s back close to the length he likes it. All the peroxide blond on the floor around him to be swept up and put in the garbage.

It’s not that he doesn’t care, but the church… how things ended wouldn’t be what he’d want to remember Johnny by. They found ways to pass the time but those days were rough and full of fear even before the fire. He cuts it off fast and without thought because he’s a Greaser. Greasers are tuff. They stay cool. He doesn’t let it get to him because he’s a guy.

Seriously, the brand of masculinity the guys ascribe to encourages Pony to calm and burry it. The way it translates as a greaser, as a poor guy, is to Be cool, be tuff and take out everything in a fight or with a drink or drugs or crime. You’re happy or you’re angry. Now the guys aren’t complete to this, no one is but it is the pillar they look to— even if they do cry and talk and some of them look at sunsets.

Pony’s fourteen now and it’s time to cut his hair.

I love the idea that, whenever a Cybertronian space-faring vessel lands or docks within a predominantly non-Cybertronian space station or port, that it's required that they either confirm or deny whether their vessel is sentient or not before being permitted to land.

1. For proper accommodation and clarification, along with the chance for communication between the vessel and crews working the station/port.

2. Because there has been... incidents... incidents that have led to the requirement of the above reasons.

some of you are in a monogamous relationship with eternal misery. the way you manage to find negativity in everything is exhausting. you are not being a realist. you are just going out of your way to find the bad where it does not exist.

I played and enjoyed Rune Factory 5 well enough when it came out, and I do believe I like and defend it more than a lot of people. But honestly, trying to go back to the game now, after having played so much more of RF4 than I had at the time? It's difficult.

IMO one of the best aspects of the Rune Factory series is the replayability. It has a simple game loop that can suck you in, while also allowing players a lot of choice in their game in regards to what monster allies they get, which townspeople they actually take into dungeons, and of course, who you romance.

But as much as I DO like the characters and relationships in RF5, it's just NOT FUN to replay. All the problems that I had but pushed past in my initial playthrough are still there, as well as a lot more problems I have now that I know and can better compare it to RF4.

I could go on about all the issues the game has and how outside a few nice quality-of-life changes, RF4 is better in nearly every way, much more immersive and lively, but plenty of comments like that already exist, both here and on other sites.

Mostly I'm just... sad about it. I really DO enjoy the characters and was looking forward to playing the game much more optimally than my sloppy first run where I took FOREVER to get a love interest seeing as I didn't realize they were guaranteed to reject me if I had any side story going on (because the confession is also considered a side story) and I was always going right from one character's events to another until finally exhausting all of them. But I can only force myself to play for like 2-3 hour bursts before I have to stop and do something else.

Ideally I'd like to experience romancing and marrying all the characters in this game, but I genuinely don't know if I can get myself to play the game enough to beat it and romance a small handful of characters ONE more time, let alone several. It just makes my frustrations and complaints pile up until I feel like going back to RF4 instead, which solves nothing when what I yearn for is a better game with THIS cast of love interests. Instead of the wonderful (not perfect, but still great) game that I've already seen nearly everything there is to see.
