Erika L. Sánchez, from Lessons on Expulsion: Poems; “Amá”

[Text ID: “In One Hundred Years of Solitude, / Márquez wrote that we are birthed / by our mothers only once, but life obligates / us to give birth / to ourselves over and over.”]

I think the thing that feels really revolutionary about Gideon Nav's lesbianism is that she's not a lesbian in opposition to anything. She doesn't like women instead of men. It's just that her entire sexual world is female.

A lot of time having a gay character seems to necessitate a scene in which they confirm emphatically that they do not like the opposite gender. Gideon doesn't need to do that. She just talks about women all the time (and, lesbian character who is openly and unashamedly horny and actively pursuing women in general outside of once-in-a-lifetime romance, that's its own post entirely) and the absence of any mention of men makes it obvious that she's not interested in them.

And, as a queer person constantly having to explain WHY I don't want this or that, it's really refreshing to see a queer character who is so totally focused on what they DO want and not what they don't.

i will never get over how genuinely fucked the tranquil are consistently treated throughout the dragon age games. like i know it's the Point. but. holy fuck.

the way they're treated as "not-quite-people", the way they're constantly put to the side, ignored, abused, and exploited for profit, the way they're killed over and over, especially in inquisiton, and the way it feels so brushed over. and it never really feels like the player reaction is Enough for what is going on in any situation surrounding them.

Yeah Mr L is cool and all but Imagine a Mr L AND a Mr M being partners in crime, like Mario accidentally gets brainwashed along with Luigi, what would be even funnier is the two trying hard to rizz up Peach and Bowser in they’re brainwashed state, it could be pre-established relationships and it would basically go down like this:

Mr M: Hey there blondey, happy to see that pretty face roll back around here, what finally got the courage to ask for my number?~

Mr L: Do you guys come here just to fight again or did you just wanted to see us?~ I mean we couldn’t blame you, we are sights to behold~

Mr M: Hey maybe if you two decide to play nice and finally join us we could give you the pleasure of taking you out~

Peach/Bowser: FOR THE LAST TIME WE’VE BEEN DATING FOR THE PAST YEAR-

Can I ask what was your first impression of TGCF and if it turned out wrong or right?

My first impression of TGCF was "this goof continuously ascends to -- and gets kicked out of -- heaven, this is going to be clown town isn't it?"

And honestly I stand by that one, I think I was completely correct**

(**barring the fact that this goof will then go on to experience ever conceivable horror known to man but honestly I mostly expected it after MDZS)
