All the jokes about Ken and horses are good but I just wanna say it's such a good parallel to how actual young men get swept into misogyny and the patriarchy.

Like they're told to believe it means men get to be cool and manly and have this power but with that comes extremely rigid commands of what they can be as a man and a cycle of self hatred for never matching those gender roles perfectly. Patriarchy tells men that if they just do exactly what is expected of them, then they get all the "cool stuff" that comes with. That doesn't work though when there's only a small group that actually gets that power, but men will keep trying to fit into those roles in hopes that they can.

In the end there are no horses or the myth men are told, it's just endless cycles of self hatred and ingroup fighting.

obviously we all know and love the They Came Back Wrong trope, but has anybody in that situation considered killing the persons again and reanimating them for a second time? I feel like that would fix things

and also Yoshiki saying he was wrong to think ‘hikaru’ just needed to learn when he… never tried to change ‘hikaru’… or teach him anything. The only thing he taught him was to not disrespect people’s boundaries and then sorta told him not to murder but then told him if he murdered someone it’d be okay so it was kind of a null lesson.

‘gay retelling of a classic!’ ‘feminist sapphic twist on this greek myth!’ why don’t you write a better book than that. i think we deserve better books than that

when i was in elementary school in the early aughts the boys in my class decided that they had to protect themselves against the girls so they made a "boys' team" and a "girls' team" and the girls' team was all the girls with names like kaylee and cassie who loved lip gloss and sparkly nail polish and playing house. however i was friends with these boys and so i got to be on the boys' team and wrassle with them at recess and go to sleepovers with them where we'd all sleep in big cuddle puddles and also practice kissing bc as the only girl i was the only one they were allowed to practice kissing with (it being the early aughts and us going to conservative christian school). in fifth grade all of a sudden things changed and the boys i'd been best friends with since age six turned weird and mean and hostile and i nearly got actually for real expelled from christian private school because i tackled and beat the absolute fucking piss out of one of them because he kept pinching/hurting me when i told him to stop and the teachers thought it was cute. until i was trying my hardest to bash his teeth in. then it was no longer cute or fun for them. then my friends in middle school were a group of weird outcast girls who are all now either she/they dykes or tradwives with no inbetween. unsure how to conclude this post except to say that probably all of this is unsurprising if you've followed me for a bit AND that if a kid is constantly trying to beat the absolute fucking piss out of their friends then it's PROBABLY BECAUSE THE ADULTS DIDN'T INTERVENE IN AN OBVIOUSLY BAD SITUATION BEFORE THAT POINT.

hm so I don’t know this lore but I can’t be bothered to look it up; I’ve seen suffix -ion used as ‘son of’ (uncertain if gender neutral?) and noticed telperion sort of means ‘son/child of silver’, possible laurelin means ‘daughter of gold’ where -in prefix is feminine? (In archaic Quenya mind)

long story short is it grammatically correct to call Galadriel finarfinin and can I do it anyway because it’s hilarious

Today I worked more on coding my text-based adventure game because that's what most people learning game development seem to start out with

And for two hours I was stuck trying to figure out how to make it so that if the player typed something wrong, it would print text that suggested what they typed wouldn't work, then allow them to type something valid which would continue the story where they left off.

Originally when I added the "else" section and tested it, the program would just print the text and end if I typed something invalid. I tried to make the code for the story's progression all one big method I could call back to once the player typed something invalid, which worked! Except I wanted it to print out different invalid text depending on where they were in the story.

Tried a billion confusing things on my own because I dont know enough programming vocabulary to search for the solution I was looking for, until I realized that the thing I was trying to do is covered in a C# tutorial I never finished 😭😭

like thinking abt it my favorite type of game protag for games where you can make your own guy is the one that already has some hooks built into the characterization... like either you have a backstory vaguely outlined (like kotor2 exile always blowing up malacor V, durge always being durge, bhaalspawn always coming from candlekeep and being bhaalspawn) or some recent event having a deeply personal effect on the pc (watcher getting their powers, courier 6 getting shot in the head, the pc accidentally fits the nerevarine prophecy, Areelu kidnaps the pc). Like having that little extra something elevates the story and allows for more coherence bc the writers have those hooks to draw together whatever the game is trying to say and what story it can tell. imo
