#i just personally haven't seen it yet

[sanguineshade]

Hi your tags on my post reminded me to ask you this. Who in unib do you think is the most transgender do you have like a top 5 list

"do you have like a top 5 list" the phrasing on this really took the air out of me lmao I didn't actually. Never really thought much about it before. But no time like the present right? Here's my two cents:

Cisgender (Unaware)

[ID: Byakuya, Mika, Seth, Wagner and Tsurugi. End ID]

I don't think these kids know transition is even a thing.

Cis+

[ID: Chaos, Phonon and Orie. End ID]

They walked the path of self-discovery and came out more sure of themselves. Good for them!

Gender: Guy

[ID: Enkidu, Waldstein, Gordeau. End ID]

They're guys. Y'know, fellas. They radiate 100% gender confidence.

Gender: Gal

[ID: Uzuki, Kaguya and Yuzuhira. End ID]

They're gals. Y'know, lasses. They radiate 100% gender confidence.

Gender: Old

[ID: Kuon, Linne and Chitose (Linne's previous body). End ID]

You can't tell me Kuon and Linne give a damn about gender after all this time. If Linne were reincarnated into a 2m tall buff macho (You know Waldstein would raise her to be muscular if he could) Kuon would still call her "little sister" with a glance. Their gender binary is "little sister/big brother".

Gender: On Thin Fucking Ice

[ID: Carmine. End ID]

Lad. Why are you, as a man, also a menstruation joke? Carmine is too tired, calcium defficient and unmedicated to think about gender. Transition won't save her yet, please feed my bony boy first.

Gender: Trans Flag Pallete

[ID: Hyde, Londrekia. End ID]

@/cr-s01 made some lovely trans palletes mods for these two so when I think of them I think of the transgender flag. Personally I'm more accepting of a trans reading of Hyde. I'd put Lodrekia on Cisgender (Unaware).

Gender: Robot

[ID: Vatista. End ID]

She is aware and chooses not to participate in gender. Based.

Gender: As The Pendulum Swings

[ID: Hilda. End ID]

Hilda is so fucking wonderful and I adore her. She brings me so much joy. So for me she's both cis and trans it really depends on the mood and the dysphoria of the day. Schrodinger's Gender.

Transgender

[ID: Merkava and Nanase. End ID]

These two are trans, no caveats. Merkava is going through an average dysphoric tuesday every day of his life, bless him, I'd start eating people too if it got me out of being misgendered. And Nanase...

[ID: Picture of younger Phonon and Nanase from Phonon's Arcade Mode in UNIB. End ID]

Yeah, so happy for her <3

[girl-drink-drunk]

it means a lot to me how much time they focus on bear the dog: they're always taking him on walks or playing with him, they take time to show him getting fed, giving him baths, and all while trying to stop murders! it's perfect

[vaguely-concerned]

there are a lot of daddy issues to go around on DS9 in general, but odo, bashir and garak are really in their own special little fucked up 'what am I but wrought in my father's image' club

[chaosxcrushed]

There's a certain CCCC summary video that we really, really like. We think it is a great video for people if they want to grasp the story more clearly, if they're confused, or if they're listening to the album for the first time.

That video being Chonny Jash and the Weight of the Mind on Youtube by W3tBl@nk3t. We think they cover it really well.

However, I'm sharing this for a different reason; they say few certain things that really struck with us until now, that I'd like to share with the fandom. Sometimes, we see people really just.. Miss the point of CCCC entirely, and I'd like to shine a light on what was said here. If you'd like to hear this for yourself on video, the timestamp is 35:57-36:45.

“..I bet we all could relate to that, they are the prime example of the side of you that suffers and the side of you that hates yourself for suffering:

The side of you that just wants to slow down and feel everything even to the unhealthy extent of not being able to do anything else(1), but also the side of you that so desperately wants you to get over it(2).

Sure, laying in bed all day every day to rot isn't healthy, but neither is boiling things down and invalidating your own emotions. Both are paths to inevitable disaster, and that's what Chonny is doing here. Keep in mind that the idea behind this album is being whole, and that means neither of these sides are entirely in the right or the wrong; this album is about inner compromise and acceptance(3).”

1.) The side of you that suffers; Heart. He is representative of Whole's emotions, he holds them. Your emotions can go haywire, especially when one's mentally ill and has no way of their feelings being validated. An emotional person like Heart suffers under the weight of crushing, devastating feelings. He wants to feel things out, have time to just process everything, even if it takes them days or weeks to get over it. It's not healthy, but feeling is what he does, and he wants to help because he knows he has importance. Solely focusing on just your emotions isn't the best thing to do, however.

2.) The side of you that so desperately wants you to get over it; Mind. Many people have been there, have wanted themselves to stop wallowing in their own emotions and just do something else, even to the point where you think feeling things out is unnecessary. This is also unhealthy, but not intentionally. Like Heart, Mind just wants to help, everything he does is in best interest. This is what he thinks will get them to move on the quickest; to leave behind emotions and focus on anything BUT that. Also not the best thing to do.

3.) This album is about inner compromise and acceptance; About being whole. Neither of Heart and Mind are right nor wrong. They have their own ways of doing things, of what they think will help their whole self out the most, but both are unhealthy despite the good intentions. They fight over who's wrong or right, when they shouldn't even be doing so in the first place. It's your thoughts against your emotions, basically; your feelings contradict your thoughts, and it leads to an inner war of sorts. This won't make things better, which is why you can't have Mind over Heart or vice versa; you'll need both of them. In the album, they are only able to be whole when they get along. They harmonize, they 'combine', they see eye to eye with each other and work together instead of fighting over and over. Inner compromise is achieved with this, and acceptance can lead them away from any disaster that there's to come.

What we're trying to say is that mental health is a large thing tackled within CCCC, and yet we see a lot of people who overlook it; thus, end up missing the point of the whole album. We see a lot of people believe Mind's perspective a little too much and treat Heart quite harshly, or the other way where people demonize Mind and say that Heart is perfect, when it's not really that in the slightest.

This is not a hate post towards people's interpretations of CCCC or how they view characters, I'm just saying that people can tend to overlook what's in the very narrative, and we see a concerning amount of people do such.

Anyways. Stream CCCC and put your Hearts and Minds in the get along shirt. Have a nice day.

I'm going to be so real I do not understand tim & steph shippers who feel that Steph dating Tim again would save her character. You can make an argument that giving Tim a more compelling love interest would be beneficial for him! And you can at least make an argument that the fujo mischaracterization of Steph would stop. However she'd still, inevitably, be treated as a prop character/extension for someone more popular 😭 it also wouldn't make her appear in more books! Tim doesn't have many frequent appearances at the moment either! You can just say you like the couple and want them back together without acting like you have some kind of moral stance

Peak's story in Knock Knock, Boys! is really about how important it is to find your people and have someone on your side. Jane had been there the whole time, and now he has Latte, Almond, and Thanwa as well (and his dad).

I love his transformation and his courage to open up to his dad. I love that he found his courage in the unrelenting support of the people who love him. And I love that his dad admitted to struggling with communication as well and apologized for it (he's getting a gold star for that even though he was rude as hell to Almond's mom in the previous ep).

Their dynamic made so much sense, though. The light of their life (Peak's mom) died and they were both lost. As someone who isolated myself when I lost two family members in my teens, I was nodding along to Peak's whole story in this episode (this ice queen even shed some tears). It's very difficult to deal with grief when you don't have the tools (or the support system around you) to get through it. Things like this can take years, even decades.

Peak definitely has a special place in my heart. I love him and this show so much.

Fuck it, Emilia Perez is going to win Best Comedy/Musical, isn't it? Jeeezzzz.

I think Conclave is going to win for Drama and while that wasn't my prediction I really enjoyed that movie so I'm not complaining on that front.

Jun...my sweet beloved lonely angel...you don't deserve this my love! 😢😢 i hope future games and future tekken 8 content, or any content after Tekken 8 whatever they may be, manga, light novels, Story DLC's, movies, treats you with the love you have for Kazuya and Jin.

austin should just never say what vibe a season is going for ever again because i keep seeing people referencing him talking about palisade as a hopeful season (as something they're aiming for, at least) & well. how it didn't really shake out that way. people including me btw i have thought about this many a times (probably most during the questlandia game post Oh-You-Know-What happening!)

edit: where tf did he even say that because it was not the playlist thing like i thought. unless i just missed it 3 times
