give your giantess OC a sword. or perhaps a tasteful dagger. she needs it so so bad she told me herself

[gamesyoushouldbeplaying]

One of my fave little tidbits in scarlet hollow is how the traits you have are also subject to [REDACTED]s manipulation like. When she manipulates you the traits that so far provide you reliable extra bonus information about the world are like "shes right, you should feel bad for doubting her" like. Insane writing choice that somehow maintains choice in removing player agency i love it

Decided to color some Long Live Evil ladies as stress relief last night and thought I should share. The coloring book is Modern Fashion Illustration by Holly Nichols. Here’s two Rae’s and a Lia.

Bravo to the cast and crew of @re-dracula it has been an absolute pleasure. I consider this to be the best adaptation of the work out there and will be recommending it constantly to anyone who will listen to my rambles.

i kinda love how casual the queerness in the murderbot diaries is. yeah theres only like one or two couples that ARENT confirmed to be poly. yeah rami is this new gender we just made up. explain? what are you a cop? yeah murderbot is aroace and uses it/its pronouns but far more importantly it is deeply depressed. like so much of the queer stuff in mbd is just!! not a big deal!!! and i kinda love that vibe!!!! like i think the most queer scene in a series where every character is queer is probably just like. that bit where mb has something adjacent to gender euphoria after buying its own clothes. and its only like 2 paragraphs. idk i like it I LIKE IT!!

i tried something different stylewise and drew inspiration from emily carrolls art :3

[anarcho-masochist]

Religion seems to stem from a desire for something greater than ourselves, to give us direction and explain why things are the way they are. What if you found the gods, but they were all but useless? You found the truth of the universe, and it meant very little. It was a trite bundle of cliches, meanings that had echoed in greater, more romanticized and awe-inducing forms from mind to mind over time. What if the god-killing fantasy so many are fond of was as easy as killing a child, and you sat there afterward, ichor a harmless dull-yellow stain on your hands, knowing, for a fact, that everything was as poorly constructed as people joked it was?

If you became super rich and could design your own house, but could only add THREE unnecessary/random/expensive home additions (like how people will have bowling alleys, movie theatres, closets with museums of shoes, car display rooms, spa rooms, wine cellars, etc. in their mansions) - what three would you choose?

My favourite lines from "Ace: what sexuality reveals about desire, society and the meaning of life" by Angela Chen

Sexuality is everywhere, and in every place that sexuality touches society, asexuality does too.

Everyone wonders how to operate friendship and romance when sex is not part of the equation.

Nothing means anything, and yet you're supposed to make a decision about who is more or less appropriate as a partner. Nothing means anything, though it could-but it simply doesn't yet.

Aces offer up these terms to whoever might benefit, and one line of thinking is that anyone can identify as ace if they like...The ace world is not an obligation.

Sexuality is more than sexual orientation, and attraction is more the sexual attraction, yet humans can act as though sexual interest is the only reason we find ourselves compelled by others.

Asexuality is also associated with whiteness becuase of the complicated ways that sexuality itself interacts with race.

Difference can be a gift.

The goal of ace liberation is simply the goal of true sexual and romantic freedom for everyone.

Seriously, read this book, it's worth it. Angela Chen does a great job defining and explaining asexuality, plus she has some great resources mentioned throughout.
