It kind of discouraging how low key homophobia and transphobic the community has been lately (some of it, not all of it obviously). Like I understand that the majority of the people attracted to men are cishet women but damn. Queer people like things too. Especially the Pedro fandom right now, and the Miguel fans??? Just really dismissive of queer people and wanting to silence them in the community. It’s fucked up. This is 2023 and you all are adults. If you can’t handle queer voices in your life it’s because you’re weak and bigoted.

I’m allowed to be fucking queer and I’ll keep doing it. And yes, I am shoving it in your face. This little queer wants to take up all of the air in the room as a matter of fact ❤️

Nakajima Atsushi...and the slow steps it takes to fully believe in yourself. A lot of stories have the main character go through some deep monologue that ends with a boost of bravery and "I still have a long way to go"/"even if I fall I will get up again" message by the end, and that's not a bad thing at all. However, with atsushi it's so important to have a deeply wounded character who selfishly wants to hide and survive slowly take the steps needed to believe in his own heart.

A lot of people criticized atsushi for being too cowardly and whiny to be a protagonist, they remind me of the people in my life who rush me into "getting better", wanting him to develop at a pace faster than he can manage. but to me it's comforting to know that he acts like most of us. We are always afraid and full of doubts in life, sticking to much easier routes and bsd doesn't immediately condemn you for it. It's comforting to know that these slow, staggering steps are both normal and achievable, that you can find confidence at your own pace.

Thank you atsushi for being the main character ever.

I’ll never forget when I was arguing with a person in favor of total prison abolition and I asked them “what about violent offenders?” And they said “Well, in a world where prisons have been abolished, we’ll have leveled the playing field and everyone will have their basic needs met, and crime won’t be as much of an issue.” And then I was like “okay. But…no. Because rich people also rape and murder, so it isn’t just a poor person thing. So what will we do about that?” And I don’t think they answered me after that. I’m ashamed to say I continued to think that the problem was that I simply didn’t understand prison abolitionists enough and that their point was right in front of me, and it would click once I finally let myself understand it. It took me a long time to realize that if something is going to make sense, it needs to make sense. If you want to turn theory into Praxis (I’m using that word right don’t correct me I’ll vomit) everyone needs to be on board, which mean it all needs to click and it needs to click fast and fucking clear. You need to turn a complex idea into something both digestible and flexible enough to be expanded upon. Every time I ask a prison abolitionist what they actually intend to do about violent crime, I get directed to a summer reading list and a BreadTuber. It’s like a sleight-of-hand trick. Where’s the answer to my question. There it is. No wait, there it is. It’s under this cup. No it isn’t. “There’s theory that can explain this better than I can.” As if most theory isn’t just a collection of essays meant to be absorbed and discussed by academics, not the average skeptic. “Read this book.” And the book won’t even answer the question. The book tells you to go ask someone else. “Oh, watch this so-and-so, she totally explains it better than me.” Why can’t you explain it at all? Why did you even bring it up if you were going to point me to someone else to give me the basics that you should probably already know? Maybe I’m just one of those crazy people who thinks that some people need to be kept away from the public for everyone’s good. Maybe that just makes me insane. Maybe not believing that pervasive systemic misogyny could be solved with a UBI and a prayer circle makes me a bad guy. But it’s not like women’s safety is a priority anyway. It’s not like there is an objective claim to be made that re-releasing violent offenders or simply not locking them up is deadly.

its so frustrating how a lot of scu fans cant handle other sonic fans not having the exact same taste in sonic media that they do. like i feel like you can say something negative about literally any other sonic media on here and people generally wouldnt care that much but the second you say anything less than positive about the movies people start getting all weird about it and trying to argue with you ive had it happen to me and seen it happen to others as well .... like the sonic franchise is very big and has many different media types and writing styles not everyone is going to uncritically love everything. get over it ? im not trying to be mean but idk what else to tell you

an unfounded thought I've been having--I wouldn't even call it a prediction, quite--is: suppose we get the "save one person per clear" pattern. I think it would be so striking to have Melinoe waver and hesitate--she's supposed to rescue Nyx first, this is strategic, she and Headmistress have planned for this--but in the end she finds herself freeing Zagreus first out of her own curiosity and yearning. And then she goes back to the Crossroads and has to deal with Hecate and Several Nyxkids, who were all expecting one thing from her and got another. I think that would be fraught and very fun.

I saw an interesting post a while back that said “Capcom made us [Miles and Diego/Godot] only have like two(?) interactions because they knew we would be unstoppable with a brother dynamic” and tbh it stuck with me bc it was intriguing.

So yeah that potential brotherhood, but that Godot/Diego AU I made (that I still need a name for)

Also I bet Gregory Edgeworth would have smelled like a bit like coffee, and so Diego just reminds Miles of that comforting presence 😭 (the von Karma estate was a tea household, so he didn’t smell much coffee after DL-6 and didn’t realize how much he missed it/reminded him of his father)

novice dunmeshi fans in the tags of my posts tryna say chilchucks daughters aren’t adults….. heh. 😏 this may blow some peoples minds but I would like to remind everyone that half foots have shorter lifespans and reach adulthood by 14 according to the sacred texts 👇

chilchuck describes them as fully independent when he corrects marcille, who assumes he’s left his wife alone with a young child. The family dynamic is nicely summarized here 👇

and of course my most compelling evidence is the time when chilchucks three adult daughters describe themselves as his three adult daughters:

how could a guy who isn’t even 29 yet have three adult daughters, some have asked? Look no further. I have your answers here:

a bit young even for his own race but unfortunately for some of you guys the facts speak for themselves 😔

now don’t ever correct me again

stewing and fermenting on whether i want a full on lesbingqiu legally blonde au where sy transmigrates into vivian(and this is how we could have made legally blonde all lesbians) and decides to quit undermining binghelle in all their classes/supports her during the trial completely, but is very confused over how long it's taking for binghelle to woo her shit fiance back. meanwhile binghelle is wondering when the girl who rescued her from a shit engagement is going to realize that she's trying to do the same and whisk them off to go live in the hamptons after being successful career women with entire courtrooms worshipping at their feet

or leaning hard into the scum professor/lawyer!sy who is fucking fighting for his life trying to keep his precocious young student from pursuing him in the middle of this huge TELEVISED TRIAL binghe PLEASE, this professor slash lawyer has a murder case to win without damaging his reputation or muddying the jury with another scandal!!! why aren't you trying to win back your stolen love interest!?! nevermind how stupid that guy is, you definitely deserve better than him, and clearly your classmates are smart but also very mean to you. actually nvm don't even think about dating while you're still in my class. let this old man help set you up with a nice man after you've graduated. what do you mean I'm the nice man!?!

I really liked the parts in Wicked where you could tell the ensemble was doing some really cool footwork but you don't get to see any of it cause it was all shot from the waist up
