also since people can be weird online about japanese culture and queer stuff I feel like it's important to note that like. arasaka being especially regressive about gender and sexuality and stuff is something I 100% see as a consequence of saburo being a 150yo fascist who built a global empire and is known for being brutal and exacting. I hope that shows through with like. this being something that his own family and people close to him don't necessarily agree with but live under because he's the one in charge.

Dahmer Identity flags

PT: Dahmer Identity Flags

Image IDs: Two almost identical flags with 7 striped of varying degrees. The top and bottom stripes are dark yellow, the second and second to last stripes are tan, the third and third to last stripes are pale brown, and the middle stripe is a dark reddish color. Both flags have white circles. Within the first white circle is the silhouette of a pair of aviator glasses. The second flag has the silhouette of a power drill with the tip outside of the white circle. end ID

I made these a while back and ended up forgetting about them. These flags were created simply as a way of showing that your identity is dahmer. With that fact, these flags are not factive specific. Anyone who identifies as Dahmer can use them. And though I didn't make them with people who identify*with* Dahmer in mind, I'm not going to police the term all that much. Use it if it works for you

The glasses one is for those who are less connected or just less connected to the harmful things that were done, the drill is for more connected.

damn, now i'm thinking about what would make SV a less lonely game (note, if any of these have been implemented, lmk so i can give this game a second third fifth shot), and off the top of my head:

require the player to have made friends with and discovered the stories of one household in the valley before the community center bundle can be completed (or one special character, or whatever; maybe they have to come help you sort shit out, which they'll only do because your relationship is strong enough)

the little helpers in the community center having things to say when you visit, and maybe exchanging gifts for blessings, fae style

quests to help set up the festivals (mini scenes for each completed one included)

expansions like the greenhouse or fields (yours or other people's) requiring organization with multiple characters

quest chains involving several characters focusing on helping another character with life improvements

quest chains (from the community center helpers maybe?) for recruiting characters to help you clean up the valley, replant trees, help the wildlife, whatever, rewarded by a blessing from the helpers

tips from characters about what to sell where that raise the value of those items when shipped

tips that lower the amount you can sell something for, but breeds goodwill that may or may not let you unlock other items after a certain amount has been shipped (with the tip-giving character reacting to those milestones, e.g. haley being attached to some indie cosmetics brand back in the city, and shipping those items cheap gets a scene with her being very happy and grateful they're doing well)

probably more idk

i get that the creator was just one guy an he did a fantastic job with it, considering that, but goddamn.

Joe Rosenthal's "Flag Raising on Iwo Jima". Taken on Mount Suribachi four days after the Marines landed, it was a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph.

I don’t need to hide anymore...

I HATE the spread of the minty pride flag

[nerdsbianhokie]

apparently there was a legit vote for a new polyam flag (that many people i know didn't even know about)

but imma keep using the old one cause I'm high key tired of people deciding new flags are needed just cause they don't like the old ones

[agooduniverse]

this post is wild to me bc it perfectly illustrates the issues inherent to corporate pride/rainbow capitalism and yet somehow its contributors draw the complete opposite conclusion

It's actually crazy talking to friends and relatives about what's going on because very few of them know that this is a retaliatory attack. I keep seeing people online call the attack unprovoked too.

So those who don't know, on April 1st Israeli warplanes bombed Iran's consulate in Damascus. The attack killed 7 of Iran’s military advisers including 3 senior commanders.

Reuters reporters at the site in the Mezzeh district of Damascus saw emergency workers clambering atop rubble of a destroyed building inside the diplomatic compound, adjacent to the main Iranian embassy building. Emergency vehicles were parked outside. An Iranian flag hung from a pole by the debris.

Iran's ambassador to Syria said the strike hit a consular building in the embassy compound and that his residence was on the top two floors. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said in a statement that seven Iranian military advisers died in the strike including Mohammad Reza Zahedi, a senior commander in its Quds Force, which is an elite foreign espionage and paramilitary arm.

This attack on the embassy is against international law. Embassies are protected sites. But instead of condemning the attack and putting pressure on Israel, the US has spent the past week and a half calling West Asian countries to put pressure on Iran, with Biden going as far as to warn Iran not to attack Israel and saying that his support for Israel is 'iron clad'.

The West, the UN, and UN Security Council have largely failed to condemn the attack which means Iran has no choice but to retaliate with force in order to prevent future attacks. Otherwise, the country will look vulnerable and weak, especially to the Israeli occupation government which has spent months bombing neighbouring countries like Syria and Lebanon
