Joey: You need to get rid of that thing Yug. It's got a murder spirit in it

Yugi: He's been trapped in a void for millenia! Of course he's a little irritated! He just needs someone to accept him!

Joey: Yugi, you can't friendship magic the psychotic out of him. Not even the My Little Ponys can

Yugi: Sounds like a skill issue. RIP to Twilight Sparkle, but I'm built different

my snowflake opinion is that subtitles should always be on by default, and their incorporation should be considered an essential part of the design process tbh

there are so many things on gods green earth that are not platonic but are also not romantic. the erotic, the familial, the unconditional, weird codependency, weird codependency (hatred edition), etc. let us all broaden our horizons

the thing about having your joke posts Corrected is that it's like. posting is literature and I am actually employing time honored literary devices. like these are not unheard of ways of using language. I learned about literary devices in school in sixth grade. it is not actually beyond the pale to have an expectation that the general public will have some understanding of e.g. hyperbole or metaphor. every time people talk about this phenomenon they're like "well it's the autism website of course people are taking you literally" HELLO I AM ALSO AUTISM. HAVE YOU TRIED KNOWING MORE FACTS ABOUT THE USE OF LANGUAGE?

Lae'zel's reaction to Mystra telling Gale to blow himself up being "is Mystra stupid? doesn't she know we can kill the Absolute without resorting to tricks?" is such a great example of why she's my favorite character

“We know nothing about canon Remus-“

My brother in Christ we know he sleeps with his mouth slightly open

He snorts in his sleep sometimes

That even tho his belongings are falling apart the knots and stitches he puts around things are meticulously neat and tidy (controlling what he can control)

That after a full moon he’s so exhausted he can sleep all day

His voice is hoarse

He can do (or at least it’s implied) wandless magic to create flames

His first response to an attacker is to talk to it (and be real sassy with it)

He’s competent enough to get rid of said attacker

He gives away the cure to dementors but doesn’t seem to eat any himself

He smiles a whole lot, considering

He can go from asleep to perfectly alert in seconds

He’s sickly looking to the point “a good curse would finish him off”

He’s likely thin

He has his name on his suitcase but the lettering is old and worn suggesting he’s been called Professor before (likely as a joke but we can’t tell that quite yet)

He looks young despite grey hair, it’s noticeable that he’s been prematurely aged

He’ll take responsibility and check in with the driver

He’ll write to pomfrey to tell her that a student is hurt

And this is just Chapter 5 of PoA- when he’s asleep for 90% of the chapter! Imagine the shit we get when he’s awake

I just wanted to say I really admire how effortlessly masculine you are but how you also love so many traditionally "feminine" things. I am working on coming out as a trans man and dread people telling me I'm not allowed to knit and stuff anymore

One of the annoying aspects of transition is you become this walking litmus test for weird gender essentialism - even in progressive folks - and you're gonna learn just how much people deprive themselves of personal joy because of it.

I cannot tell you how many well-meaning people ended up shitting on my hobbies out of a desire to give me "man lessons" that I never asked for in the first place.

All I can say is, stick to your guns. Sure, knitting has also historically been a masculine activity, but to acknowledge such feels like giving credence to the argument that you have to drop "unmanly" interests. Knit because you like to knit, not because you are "allowed to" based on some gendered technicality.

Don't feel like you need to sacrifice parts of yourself in order to transition. If the best version of you is a man who knits, or a man who likes pink, or a man who enjoys wearing makeup, resist the urge to destroy these pieces of yourself.

Detractors will attempt to weaponize everything about you in an attempt to de-legitimize who you are. The most radical thing you can do is show them how your passions only make you stronger.

The dread is real, but it gets easier to assert yourself over time. You might even find yourself becoming an ambassador to other men wrt your hobbies. Good luck!
