Hey, so I've been reading your posts regarding Bioware's sexism with Mass Effect and I must say that I'd never really noticed it before now. (My reaction to the ME3 default female Shepard was 'that's new. A lot of makeup but whatever' because my custom face looked ... not at all like her ME2 face and I wanted to fix that instead.) I guess it says something about just how subversive sexism is in the industry. A game can be great in some places but not so great in others. But anyway, thank you.

Messages like these make me so happy ♥ I’m so so glad I was able to teach you something!

To be honest, I didn’t really notice it myself at first - when they had that Facebook voting thing, I happily voted for the redhead (because both the default and my customs were redheads) and asked others to do so as well, but after a few days the lack of replies as to why the original default wasn’t even an option started to really bother me, and I thought more about how all the Shepards presented to us were conventionally attractive in a way that original default isn’t - she’s not unappealing, but her edges are considerably rougher than those of the women we saw, than those of the woman who is on the game cover. And then I played the game with the original default Jane for the second time and really looked at her and I was filled with both sadness and anger and the rest is, as they say, history. I fell in love with this woman all over again and started being angry and now I have people coming to me and telling me that I’ve taught them something through my love and anger.

The Internet is a beautiful place sometimes.

Keep looking critically at the media you consume but don’t let the problematic things stop you from enjoying the good parts ♥♥

Arasolfef chess with eridan as freddie though

feferi’s personality suits freddie/florence interactionsso well too"T)(ey just wanna sea if a nice guy beats a BUM 38P"

and eridan with the press

"Promise me you won't go on about the landdwellers at the conc)(ference, okay?"[five seconds later]"does your opponent deserve such abuse?""all landwwellers deservve abuse."

fef throws her hands up in frustration

and the mutual antagonism between freddie and anatoly for most of the matches would be hysterical with sollux and eridan because god damn does anatoly sass about freddie constantly

"iit iis hard two rebut ever growiing 2u2piiciion2 my oppo2iitiion’2 a NUT."

YES HI I SAW YOUR POST SUGGESTING JAEGER PILOT CHARLES AND ERIK. I have thoughts about this. Charles is probably extremely skilled at drifting; his mind is "wired" in such a way that he is able to keep Erik, who has unparalleled Jaeger-piloting skills, stable. Charles maintains the perfect synchronization between the two of them as Erik becomes a powerhouse of Kaiju-fighting energy. Maybe. I'm not good at developing AUs.

ahhh yes i agree! i think definitely think Charles is stronger in the drift, i think maybe Erik would have had a few problems at first getting caught up in his memories as well as Charles' bad childhood memories. And then i think maybe Charles helped him through all that and in return Erik maybe helped him idk improve his fighting skills idk (as you can tell i don't usually develop my aus)

Pontifications?

Something involving the word "rambling" maybe?

Hmmmmmm, yeah, something in that general area, but a little more precise.

Sorry, I'm really picky. :'D

I thought Hitler was a vegetarian for health reasons, but that definitely doesn't change the irony of him being against animal testing.

It’s not clear exactly why he was a vegetarian (or even if he was fully vegetarian all the time, or when his vegetarianism began), but there are records of him talking about animal slaughterhouses to disgust meat-eating dinner guests, so it’s probably safe to say it was at least partly related to his strange affection for animals.
