Not me adding annotations to a book to make it more accessible for my mom when she will read it

[getougender]

actually i have changed my mind and i am okay with a standard-issue happy ending for jjk. yes a pyrrhic victory and haunted protags would be excellent, but i was still real mad about nobara when i said those things and she’s okay now. so i’m okay with it. this is because nobara heals all wounds.

OK SO BIGENDER isss where you're two genders! 4 some people that means being a girl and a boy, for others it can be a girl and agender, or anything. just any mix or combination of genders. there's also multigender which is a more broad term for where someone has more than one gender

Dis also makes sense. That's really cool actually, to be a girl and a boy at the same time.

I already know how this ends.

you just have to set it in motion.

ive no issue with self inserts or nothin but i think its important to give your characters different opinions and interests than you. i love being like "lamia has a lifelong passion for sonic the hedgehog and the first saw is his comfort movie. no ive never played a sonic game and ive never seen saw and i dont want to do either of those things. why do you ask"

[i-am-but-a-beta-fish]

skyrim's been out for almost thirteen goddamn years and i still can't figure out what exactly we were stopping alduin from doing

eating the world? why'd he hang around long enough for us to stop him, then? why bother resurrecting all of those dragons?

reviving the dragon cult and taking over the world? why not rekindle the dragon war in earnest once he'd regained his troops? why does paarthurnax think his aim's the apocalypse, then?

simple revenge on the nords? why not get, like, 1000% more scorched earth with it?

[designernishiki]

no but you're onto something with y6 being damage control i swear. they let him be too vulnerable in y5 and said uhoh the dude bro audience isn't gonna like this! put him in some ""manly"" situations stat!

its the price they made us pay to see Kiryu attain hot grandpa status and I seethe over it.

you are So right and it’s aggravating because y5 kiryu felt so… emotionally honest in comparison to a lot of other games? and easy to connect to because of it? he wasn’t sugarcoated or performative and it just felt like the raw core of who he is for the most part. ghhhgshh so much about the plot and energy of y6 is so… unnecessary and disappointing considering the note y5 left off on, it makes it feel like alot of the emotion in y5 was sorta for nothing (not just on kiryu’s part, but majima/saejima’s shit didn’t get much of a follow up, shinada just disappeared, etc). it just makes alot that built up to this point feel hollow and like as if the bonds that existed weren’t even there and I don’t like that at all hdhhcjdhf

but yeah all that aside, I think y5 is the most convincingly gay kiryu’s been in any game, I mean, to the point of it being legitimately alluded to by other characters who assume he’s gay based on his secretive lifestyle and lack of interest in women and so on. and I don’t doubt that it got noticed by the general public to some degree, especially when you can compare his behavior to other playable characters in the same game– and god forbid their angsty rugged manly protagonist be Actually Not Straight. so kiryu’s long-since-established personality got butchered here and there more and more just to try and make the audience believe he’s actually been some sort of charismatic ladies man all along, which is jarringly antithetical to the kiryu we’ve seen in previous game(s) and to their own narrative that he’s only ever loved one (1) woman (all this goes for kiwami 2 as well, which is even worse in some ways, which is unsurprising considering it came right after y6).

all in all it makes me uneasy about the upcoming games and not optimistic that he’ll be presented as the character i grew to love in most of y0-y5. but i guess there’s some comfort in knowing that there isn’t one interpretation of him that’s indisputable fact, considering he’s been written and developed by way more than just one person with one view of him over the years– and that most of the really out of character dialogue and stuff is in unessential skippable parts of the game(s) like the cabaret club and standalone substories.

someone on tiktok was like "why don't many straight men engage in fanfiction" and the answer is that the last time they tried we got aotnr

[meat-pvppet]

ok so im gonna infodump under the cut cuz im insane

warning! this all probably makes no sense and is really really messy

so remember this guy?

ive been reworking him actually ever since last year but i just never found a concept design i liked fully

yeah hes the one im gonna be reworking (and who im probably renaming to Lucius Donovan)

and tbh i still dont have one but whatever im gonna blast you all with his lore or what i got so far atleast (if youve been here long enough he might be a wittle familiar)

anyway he's the founder and sole human worker for a tech company focused on manufacturing robots and prosthetics

he was a prodigy whos been building rudimentary robots ever since he was a teenager, his eldest bot and personal assistant having been around since he was 17

when he started his business, he sought to help humanity using his bots, believing that humans were frail and robotic companions helping them would lessen the burden and help humanities chances of not imploding hopefully

once he started making a name for himself, he got into a huge accident (either caused by his own recklessness or a secondary character that ill need to polish up still) that took his legs, arm and a chunk of his face (mostly around the eyes and frontal lobe and a bit of his mouth)

still figuring out the full extent of the damage but just know his torso didn't go unscathed cuz obviously

most of the damage was obviously from the accident itself but also from getting crushed by rubble

its a miracle he even survived, but he was basically half dead so his bots were the ones to revive him using the tech he had already developed

the accident made him more reclusive and paranoid (not that anyone other than his walls know that cuz we love a guy whos really reclusive and paranoid and hides it all behind a mask of confidence), now adding more security measures to every bot he manufactured, even making it so every bot he had sent him the logs of their every action and everything they saw in case they couldnt identify smth properly

also following the accident he became less empathetic than he already was, making it difficult for him to understand more emotional reasonings behind things

also also following the accident, he began using robotic copies of himself to make public appearances whenever he really needs to cuz he thinks with how he is now he's no longer presentable in a way

and also cuz his paranoia and anxiety is so high he genuinely believes something horrible will happen to him or others as soon as he steps out of his factory that basically doubles as his home at this point due to him doing nothing but work all day

there are a few of these clones just

fucking around in his factory though, specifically in the underground facilities, that work as security

And also a way to bait people who do end up reaching the underground facilities looking to kill him or smth

also due to the nature of his prosthetics (and years of trial and error after the accident to improve them) hes kinda got a pseudo immortality thing going on where all this tech is basically gonna keep his body from failing

anyway he can keep adding more and more tech if something goes wrong

but then that makes him think about how disconnected he is from being human at this point

hes more metal than flesh and that makes him anxious

at what point is he just another one of his bots?

[selamat-linting]

our mutual friend : oh yknow R's different now. not as fiery, if you get what im saying. haha he even said he died back then.

me, with my signature weird girl voice : its okay. i've died too once. i know the feeling

#I keep saying Cas and Dean were moving together #and Cas got to say 'I was dancing' #so... what was Dean doing? it doesn't get named but we *saw* it. We saw *them*. #I'd argue that we saw Dean's moves more clearly than Cas' even (via @ironworked)

The reason for the ambiguity Misha references--the it could be that, or it could be something else--was the writers writing Destiel into the canon with queer coding, without tripping corporate alarms that would result in a hard no and a full shutdown. Queer coding is still part of canon, although not operating the same way things do when writers have a greenlight to make it expressly clear. They got that for Castiel's confession. Dean's side is still in the ambiguous area but is the same goals and method as with Castiel. People need to learn to add 2+2 and get 4. With Cas, they got a greenlight to make it absolutely clear text. Dean therefore...is only missing that final step. Right along, once the writers started doing the hints, both Dean and Cas were queer coded, and interested in each other. Missing the final piece on Dean's side doesn't make it "imaginary" or fake or not part of the canon that Dean is bi, and in love with Cas. It's that Cas is the only one that got the clear runway to go loud and clear. I think Dean's side isn't subtle. I don't think it's all that hard to spot what the writers were doing. And we also know from a previous statement from Misha that both he and Jensen, and the writers, "leaned into it."

The fact that the denialism about Castiel's side of it is still at ridiculous levels despite that being expressly greenlit and made expressly clear but we still have to wade through denialism about Cas being queer and in love with Dean.

I am not going to have patience with people who play denialism on the queer coding on Dean's side, even if we don't have expressly greenlit openness like with Cas.

This shouldn't have to be such an issue, or people get hate just for reading Dean as bi, let alone the ongoing hatred and denialism about queer Cas in love with Dean. Queer coding exists.

We have multiple confirmations how purposefully the writers set about doing this despite the ceiling placed from above. They were not mocking shippers. They weren't telling you that you're insane for seeing it with one hand while doing Destiel with the other. It's that they couldn't speak. It's that they didn't have a full greenlight. So they pushed it as far as they could. It's real. It's part of the crafting of the series. It's in the text. It wasn't queerbaiting, because the intention wasn't to dangle and rug yank, and not take it seriously, the intention was to put Destiel in there, while having to dodge external obstacles that would stifle it.

More people need to understand how queer coding can be part of canon or the methods creatives in Hollywood still to this day have to resort to for how media and "canon" and queer coding works.

"Cas is gay" is expressly canon and is loudly spoken. I'm still waiting on WBD US to acknowledge it in spn promotional materials, and quit going with this pretending it's not there while they look the other way and permit it, but it's still out there, it's done.

"Dean is bi" is queer coded still, but that doesn't mean we can't say Dean is bi in the canon and in love with Cas, because that is what the canon coded for Dean. It's there. It's not...out there the way Castiel's confession moved things for Cas. But it's there.

Castiel's confession was confirmation on what many people had already noticed and things already built into the story. It wasn't "out of nowhere." It wasn't inserted at the last minute for "pandering." It was the final step in a years long build. Dean's feelings for Cas...had similar build and the next step would be--
