#i cannot describe it. i'm. what????

[die-tenebris]

don't wanna derail the post I saw this discussion on- it was all in the notes anyway, so it certainly isn't op's problem. I'm gonna say this with so much love:

Calling somebody a 'theyfab' is not punching up. If someone's being transmisogynistic, say that, or call them a bigot. Naming the tangible harm done to you will always be the most effective thing to do.

The cis people who created that term made it with the explicit intent to mock and insult people's identities. No matter what you mean when you say it, this is its origin and to most people, its only meaning. It describes nothing about the discrimination you face.

People afab are marginalized, especially if they're queer. You cannot "punch up" on a fellow oppressed group. I understand the specific vitriol that they inflict on you hurts.

You don't need a word to call somebody, you need and deserve adequate justice for the tangible harm done to you; and my heart aches that nobody queer- especially trans women- ever seems to receive that.

I'm aware I can't make anybody do anything, so I'm not gonna try to tell you not to use that word. I just want to say it can't ever address, undo, or heal any harm done to you. It can only redirect it.

man this thing is crazy. I can’t show off half the things it does because the video/casting software needs some updates, but like....... I spent the morning sitting under a TREE creating 3d models IN THIN AIR.

it was absolutely surreal being surrounded by birdsong, warm sunlight, being able to see every leaf on the trees around me crystal clear....... AND being able to see AND INTERACT WITH virtual objects on top of reality with that same clarity.

just..... literal, real-life holograms. out in nature. words honestly cannot do it justice.

anyways. my new life goal is to get a solar-powered backpack charger and then never go inside again 🌳🌲🌴🍃

I'm actually so attracted to Agatha Harkness, I fear it's not normal anymore

I cannot stop thinking about Haku.

I have a much longer post in the making, talking about his behavior and his relationship with trust and truth/lies and another one about his relationship with being a ghoul, but in the meantime, have this:

Kano from Mekakucity Actors (Kagerou Project) and Haku from Tokyo Debunkers

Same vibes, trust me.

Just. Listen.

Happy/flirtatious behavior, glimpses of a darker/upsetting hidden past, self-loathing, family not treating them right, hiding their true self, not being happy with what they have become, wanting someone who they can be honest with and who fully trusts them, working hard while acting like it's nothing, lies lies lies, "Ah sorry, I was just joking/it was just a story! haha", just---

Just trust me c:

Looking for more proof? Look no further: listen to Kano's song

(it's so good yo, you won't regret it)

Also, Hotarubi's episode is filled with lies/truth themes... Like.......

Bonus: Subaru saying this to Haku send help please someone save me aaaaaaaaaaaaah

Extra note:

In Kagerou Project many of the characters go through "a traumatic experience" (which is sometimes described as "having your heart be devoured by a monster") that grants them a "power" and they feel "othered" and like a "monster (no longer human)" because of it.

Sound familiar?

Kano's power is to "deceive" btw :)

i'm ngl guys seeing things in the vein of "welcome to the CORRECT side of the CDD community" feels like a real slippery slope towards the "us vs. them" mentality.

guys we're all aware that systems can have unique subjective experiences right. and. and we're not. guys we're not gonna tell people what helps them when we don't know what's actually helpful for them and/or we don't have full context because we aren't living their lives right. we're not going to try defining people's subjective experiences through a lens we don't even fully understand right. we're not gonna make up arbitrary rules each other's experiences based on that either right guys.

guys. guys we're not- guys we're not seriously gonna do that right. this isn't the brand of syscourse we're doing right now right.

right guys.

guys.

Sometimes, I feel Kyoko is like the Bonnie of Trigger Happy Havoc.

This sounds very weird to say but hear me out. Or... read me out since this is text.

This is unserious by the way but also a part of me is curious cus my gosh is she a hassle to find a good color to consistently give her.

Basically, in FNAF, the consensus on what the hell Bonnie is colored is all over. Is he blue? Is he purple? Indigo? It's always been questioned. Meanwhile, with Kyoko, though I haven't seen a ton of discussion around this, like, what IS her hair color. Actually. Cus sure. She's always been associated with purple and when you color pick her hair, it's almost always near the purple part of the color wheel. But also like, what color IS her hair?

I've seen it been drawn more purple, sometimes even white or silver. Hell! Her hair is described as silver in the first chapter of the game! So, what gives! Like, it's never consistent, even in official artwork!

Case in point:

This is how pale her sprite hair is btw

Also, it's not that any other character's been consistent with this in the series. Then again, at least I can tell that Byakuya's blonde, Makoto's a brunette, that Sakura has white hair and that Leon's a red head.

Plus, I feel that the shade of her hair is what MAKES it look purple. Which leads me to question more. Is it leaning closer to white? Silver? Does she just have purple undertones but it's not actually purple. And like, did her purple hair lighten with age or something cus novel Kyoko's hair is a lot more obviously purple compared to when we first me the girl. Or, does she dye it? Like, make it look like a darker purple in Dr3? Would she even have access to hair dye with the state of the world?!

And like, girl, I get it. You got your mysterious bit going on. But, dang it girl! Pick a lane!

i will never stop being confused about people saying og lloyd was maltreated. like. what the fuck are you talking about. it's not maltreatment if you verbally and physically abuse and harass the people around you and then people start avoiding you and talking shit about you. that is called Consequences Of Your Actions and it's literally the least og lloyd should've gotten for the shit he pulled. like. someone very well could have decided not to take his bullshit and beaten his ass easily at any point. but they didn't. no one ever fucking did. javier is the closest we ever get to that and it was one (1) punch to get him to stop destroying someone's home and business. show me where is the maltreatment. cite your sources. tell me where can i find it. if you're gonna say something with your whole chest please tell me you've at least read the source material and aren't just explaining your headcanons as if they're facts. show me the fucking receipts ajsdhksf
