#bad pennies

The sky's a burnt orange, with the Citadel enclosed in a mighty glass dome, shining under the twin suns. Beyond that, the mountains go on forever. Slopes of deep red grass, capped with snow.

Thinking about Kristen Applebees, fleeing a hostile home for people who fully accept her but still feeling guilty about not being there to "shield" her younger brothers...

Thinking about Penny Luckstone, with 18 siblings who are all definitely loved but she's still helping her parents run the house and struggling between duty to a family she loves fiercely and pursuing her own dreams...

Thinking about Aelwynn Abernant redirecting her parents' scorn for Adaine, again and again, not always kindly but eventually, finally standing up to her parents when it became clear what they were willing to do to her little sister. "But Father, Adaine's just a baby..."

Idk guys having some real normal thoughts about the role of eldest daughters in Fantasy High.

Confession #123

[jaskierx]

anyway i'm gonna whinge again now very briefly but i didn't like izzy being the one to interrupt them in the morning or the docking joke or 'make your boyfriend blush' or the singing or 'one more song'

great that he's moved past whatever homophobia he had going on last season. awful that it's gone completely unaddressed while all his development happens off screen

local homophobe who made your life hell comes out and gets so much support for the very things they bullied you for. tale as old as time. more at 6

except also he seems to think he gets to tease you like you're friends and to make jokes about your relationship and to embrace the femininity he wouldn't let you have with the exact same people he wouldn't let you have it with and to give you and your boyfriend advice about a relationship he tried to end by getting you both killed using emotional intelligence he's apparently grown overnight?

feels bad folks. don't like it

i have to get this out of my system

[nyaagolor]

I’m working on an SV bad end AU— the professors never get divorced and the protag never moves to Paldea, so we end up with paradox pokemon running all over the place and a few very angry rivals. Nemona, who never found a true rival and felt misunderstood and stifled always having to hold back, is recruited by Sada to protect this “new paradise” where she can fight all the strong opponents she wants and never have to hold herself back. Penny, who was expelled along with the rest of Team Star and now resents Paldean society, is recruited by Turo to help in tearing down the old and replacing it with a newer, better system

In other words: be gay do crime, the AU

Do you have any SDV hot takes?

Boy do I ever Anon! Thank you for giving me the chance to get on my soapbox about this.

Shane doesn't relapse when he is happily married to the Farmer. The popular "relapse" interpretation is based on faulty assumptions about what substance abuse recovery is supposed to look like and flat-out misreadings of the text of the game.

Shane doesn't "start" drinking again: he never stops, just reduces the amount he drinks. (Unless we are supposed to interpret the phrase "cut back" in the 7 Heart Event as meaning "quit” or "gave up” for some reason. Or if we ignore the new 1.6 dialogue about him drinking less after his 6 Heart event.)

Shane's mess is not a consequence of uncontrolled drinking, but a consequence of his depression and possible under-managed ADHD. His room at Marnie's remains exactly as messy when he's in recovery as it is when he's spiraling, so the drinking has no effect on his cleanliness.

”Okay,” you might say, “but he still shouldn’t drink, and he should pick up his room.” And sure, yeah. Ideally we should all do the same. But that’s not always a fair or realistic expectation for everyone. Not everyone can quit their addictions or bad habits cold turkey. Not everyone is going to be the model citizen. That doesn’t mean they can’t live happy lives. That doesn’t mean they don’t have value. That doesn’t mean Shane doesn’t have value.

So instead of complaining about the ways that Shane fails to measure up to typical adult standards, it may be more productive to ask: is he happy? Is he doing okay?

By any reasonable measure, a married Shane is living his best possible life. He‘s surprised and delighted to be your trophy husband. He doesn’t have to worry about taking a soul-sucking job or struggling with unemployment. His drinking isn’t causing him any problems, and if he can’t keep his personal space clean, at least he doesn’t let his mess spread to the rest of the house. He has his own little coop for Charlie and it’s just adorable to watch him bounce her up and down. He actually makes time for Jas. I am not requiring everyone to love Shane the way he is written, or to make space in their farmhouse for him. But please, have realistic expectations for the character that exists. And do make friends with him. He gives you an OP recipe and access to blue chickens!
