weird day to have been an rt fan several years ago

[yes-no-maybe-soo]

What if I shoot myself. It'd probably be less painful than reading this.

“you’re quiet today”

it’s because Ody already decided what to do

Oh fuck OFF Gender Is No Object is not zigzagged it's just fucking not true!!!! The fact that there are female cultivators and we hear about a female clan leader one time does not somehow mean that they dgaf about gender in the jianghu when

There is a deeply plot relevant fucking arranged marriage

Mianmian is constantly facing direct onscreen misogyny including misogyny used to delegitimize her

Wei Wuxian (and others, but her most notably given how much time we spend with her) is constantly saying internalized and externalized gender essentialist stuff

Mo Xuanyu/"Mo Xuanyu" is constantly specifically degraded for being a cutsleeve

Internalized homophobia central with WWX and LWJ

Not one but THREE characters (arguably 4 if you found Wang Lingjiao for this!) are wives of sect leaders whose decisions and motivations are informed by the fact that that's a position of power yes but one with extremely restrictive expectations and one that is directly and unquestionably subordinate to their husband

One of the primary antagonists is a serial rapist And his systemic power over women (especially poor women and sex workers) is literally a central defining factor of one of the main character's motives

THIS IS ALL DIRECTLY FUCKING RELEVANT AND ESSENTIAL TO THE PLOT AND THEMES

NEXT BITCH WHO TRIES TO SAY THERE'S NO GENDER POLITICS IN MDZS GETS THE BLENDER. INTO THE BLENDER YOU GO.

AC Mirage ramblings and big emotion™️ because im tipsy

Do you ever think that every once in a while Basim will hear Nehals laugh or catch a glimpse of her in the corner of his eye? Do you ever think he smiles to himself but doesn’t chase for another glimpse and doesn’t try to listen harder because he knows he will find nothing? Do you think how after a bad nightmare he can feel her gently waking him up only to wake up to an empty promise and an empty bed that has always and will always be empty? Do you think some nights he replays that night in his head over and over trying to believe that she is always there never leaving him alone only to realize he was alone the entire time? Do you think that what remains of basim that isnt Loki craves the companionship that never existed? Do you think that sometimes he mourns for someone he has never met? Do you think that he grieves the real people in his life especially the children that he blames himself for their deaths? Do you think it destroys him when in the end it was him. It was always him. He is alone. And always has been. Because all it was,

Was a Mirage.

i absolutely hate thinking about how trish winterman's attacker (the younger one) was among daisy hardy's friend group. like, the group that probably shared her pictures. meaning she could've very well been vulnerable to him

Womp fucking Womp get off my fucking dashboard you cave dwelling troglodyte.

I know Lars has been casted in the role of "The Good Mishima" so deep in my heart I know he's gonna stick with Jin to the end and theyre gonna Save The World from big bad evil Kaz together and theyre gonna be such good family without aknowledging that theyre family at any point and I know tekken HATES subtlety

But MAN what I wouldnt give for a scenario where, in the possibility that Jin DOES take out Kaz, Kaz's warning to Lars that "All Mishimas eventually turn on one another" realizes itself, with Jin seeing yet another family member turn on him bc "the devil gene is too dangerous to be left alive" and with Kaz gone, Jin is the only host of the devil gene. Mannn imagine Lars pulling a gun on Jin the very same way Heihachi did on him in tekken 3, which awoken the devil gene in Jin in the first place, and Lars having the same "Getting the world rid of the devil gene" excuse as Heihachi but meaning it this time and being overall more noble, but still. Lars accidentally looking like Heihachi.

i got invited into @skies-seas space headworld a while back and offered my beloved immortal space captain from spore 2008. and then it took me several months to finalize a design for them/their species

Captain Sondetten was once just a guy, but is now a spaceship puppeting around a clone of their old body. This is because they made the mistake of captaining the first expedition beyond their home star, and the first to encounter sapient alien life. Now they are not a person to the empire, they’re a living symbol progress and expansion and conquest and they can’t be allowed to die. So when they did, solutions were found. [more under readmore]

Several centuries later, Sondetten is still kicking. The same mind, more or less. They’ve accumulated so many memories that after a certain point, it was easier to transfer their mind into servers aboard their ship. Easier for the empire to maintain digital backups for when the ship is destroyed and needs to be rebuilt. Easier to filter out extraneous data that would only take up valuable space.

Son’s none too thrilled with their lot in life. Everything they do has political consequences that can make or break an alliance. Despite their influence they can’t do anything to change their situation. They don’t recognize the world they were born on. They can’t remember the names or faces of their countless dead friends. They’ve mostly stopped making friends, as no one else can understand fully what they’ve experienced. They’re a ghost haunting their own ship, which is more their true self now than the flesh they wear for the sake of being presentable.

In this shared setting, Son finally snapped and went rogue. They broke into a memory bank to hastily download a big file of that old ‘extraneous data’ (not a clean install, it’s not totally coherent or chronological but they’re glad to have the chance to invite old ghosts back in), then they made their exit and wrecked some shit on the way out, vanishing off to the other side of the galaxy. Son may have been a pacifist once but they’ve long since grown desensitized to violence.

There’s nothing stopping the empire from making another Sondetten, and becoming even more selective with what memories are returned to them to prevent this from happening again. But that’s a problem for that Sondetten, not this one. This Sondetten finally got away, and is for the first time in a long time somewhat mortal. They can make another body clone given enough time if the current one is killed, but if their ship is destroyed there will be no one to rebuild it and restore these memories. This Son will end if the ship dies, which is a novel experience.

In the meantime they’re trying to figure out how life works now in a place where they’re not being strangled by their own legacy. They arrive into the plot as just the ship with severe hull damage and some very atypical technology. They find themself put up as a grand prize to be won in some competition, which is not exactly what they were hoping for. They decide to play along for a time in hopes of getting free repairs, and only reveal themself as a sapient being when some folks try snooping into their memory servers or cloning process.

~ Anyway i made this species in spore in like 2012 or something? they were one of my main playthroughs and Sondetten is my go to when i’m playing the space stage :]

the original Maaydes + Sondie in game

i’ve been trying to draw/design the species but it took me sooooooo long to settle on what i wanted! the initial concept was marsupial + bird but it evolved past that. there’s plenty of thylacine in the jaw range of motion & general posture/body anatomy, but also some rodent proportions and upright posture. head cones from great crested grebe and austroraptor. wing anatomy and proportions are pterosaur, a single long digit supporting a membrane. with a wing covering of moth like scales. also a bit of pangolin but it’s more obvious on some subspecies than on Sond here

the idea is that the predecessors of this species had some kind of fur like covering, which over time changed into fused structures somewhere between a scale and a feather? they’re primarily equipped for insulation and ornamentation (colourful) but the wing scales help to provide lift, and there are larger variations that provide effective armour. stomach ‘plumage’ is more similar to the original ‘fur’

do you still write for blind channel? i requested something a few years ago and haven't seen it posted :(

I don't, sorry :/ I'm just not into them anymore and haven't had the drive to write for them, same goes for the other modern Finnish and Swedish blorbos because I have mutual friends with some of them now and it just feels weird lol

Also I really want webtoons readers to know the actual name of Juniper's hometown

The first time it appeared in the book, I assumed it was derisive shorthand for "town in the middle of nowhere that no one cares about".

Which it is, but it's also literally the town name.

I kept expecting Juniper to address this, because I'm sorry that is NOT a normal town name for Kansas, you're just telling me you have no Opinions on it??? (This guy has Opinions on everything and will happily go on a tangent about all of them.) But nope!

I'm forced conclude that Juniper is actually from a slightly different version of Earth where that is, in fact, and unremarkable town name for Kansas

[simcardiac-arrested]

once again sorry to everyone for bringing this to your dashboards. but some of you are like, genuinely delirious. not even in a funny way. & i hope you die. i hope we both die. hand in unlovable hand etc etc

Macaque cares so much about wukong. It makes me sick

oh yeah i know 🫠 makes me so ill like

yeah

[thenixkat]

Nah, if yer pals with blackflimmakers/afrophunk or their friends like stephanos-spaceopera or neechees don't follow me.

Block me actually.

I don't give a shit what they're posting about, do not interact with me if you interact with them. Blackfilmmakers/afrophunk is an abusive asshole who likes to harass anyone who doesn't agree with them about fucking anything and their friends gleefully participate.
