Velvet calling every major trans feminist on here a TRF (trans radical feminist) because of Talia Bhatt’s book is really funny to me because it rolls off the tongue like a d4. It also separates trans and feminist, putting the emphasis on radical feminist, which more closely relates the term for TERF. Tbh I think RTF (radical transfeminist) works better because it emphasizes the transfeminist aspect. Instead of being a radical feminist who’s trans, an RTF is a transfeminist who’s been radicalized.

I think that’s why I resent being called a TRF.

(The radicalism as an aspect and its morality is a conversation for later. As it stands, I’m hungry and need to go get lunch.)

Another (as of now incomplete) furry VN I recently finished playing is Remember the Flowers. It was really good! A wonderful experience all around. But like ...

(Spoilers Below!)

Did anyone else notice that Cyrus, our MC, has an insane level of social and emotional intelligence?

This could genuinely just be my own personal bias talking. I've got a fairly robust social life, but I'm no extrovert. I have some close friends that I interact with regularly and a moderately wide sphere of acquaintances to boot. But if I'm being honest, I'm a novice when it comes to navigating complicated Adult Interpersonal Situations.

They rarely seem to come up in my friend groups (or I'm just ignorant ... yikes), and when they do, I'm usually able to get away with doing very little: serving as a soundboard for venting, providing some vague bog standard advice, staying out of the situation entirely, or some combination therein. I'm a bit socially underdeveloped, is what I'm trying to say, and my reading of RTF is probably colored as a result.

This being said, progressing through the linear narrative of the story in Cyrus' POV was an uncanny experience. Maybe it's just because Cyrus is canonically over 300 years old, but he is downright unreasonably good at navigating social situations.

"But wait!" you say, "isn't Cyrus a self-professed introvert?" Yes, and I (somewhat) believe him when he says that! Cyrus is not a master conversationalist outright. I'm talking about something different. Cyrus has mastered the metagame of social interaction. It's the way he carefully reads the people he forms close relationships with, and almost flawlessly updates his beliefs and behaviors accordingly. It's the way he balances spoken words and unspoken meanings. It's the way he boldly yet gently encourages his new friends to open up to him about their struggles while carefully avoiding overstepping boundaries in the process.

Interestingly enough, the narrative manages to portray Cyrus' social sagacity in a way that avoids coming across as forced. Maybe it's just authorial artifice, but Cyrus' help and advice never reads as being some contrived panacea for the social dilemmas he helps ameliorate. But ultimately, this doesn't matter. What is so impressive to me is simply that he is able to consistently be of service in the first place.

Like seriously, his success rate is incredible, and his talents are exemplified in the nuanced ways he provides social support to his friends. The way he encouraged Aaron to open up about his past life as a violent gang member. The way he consoled him afterwards, recognizing the terrible nature of his past crimes and denouncing them while simultaneously assuring him that he has grown, healthily reaffirming his humanity. The way he coaxed the blunt and hermit-like Vita out of their shell, laying the foundation necessary for them to come out of the bunker and to the surface for the first time since their rescue.

What was most impressive to me was the way he helped Canto and Silver's relationship. It's pretty damn bold to intercede in the relational struggles of two lovers whose multiple-years-long disagreements are coming to a head. I was cringing the entire time. I was sure that this was the moment that Cyrus' meddling would be his undoing. I was sure his efforts would blow up in his face, in one way or another. But they didn't!

Once again, I'm not stating this is as being a writing flaw per se. It's not that Cyrus attempted something within the story that should have been impossible, and was saved only by bad character writing. It's that Cyrus confidently intervened in an extremely challenging situation and managed to say (and do) all the right things necessary to believably help these two lovers work through their problems.

The outcome wasn't perfect. Silver and Canto break up. But it's pretty clear that they were headed for a much uglier fallout had Cyrus not intervened. Cyrus' intermediation alone allows the two to communicate, find a space to understand each other's struggles and perspectives, and come to a mutual and healthy (if still painful) decision to walk away from their romance. I think Cyrus might have known the two of them for several months at this point in the story (not sure, there are a few time skips), but this is still a miraculous outcome for someone who didn't know either of the involved characters at the start. Maybe it doesn't matter, but Cyrus might as well be a stranger to Canto and Silver, relative to the many years the two had known each other prior to meeting him.

I think, if memory serves, that Cyrus does make a few mistakes. He was a bit of a fool to trust Cooper. He was pretty short with Canto when they first met. He was a tad too pushy with Vita in their first argument about the safety of traveling to the surface. But these mistakes (besides the first) were never of massive consequence, and they were never wholly Cyrus' fault.

On a deeper level, one of the only crucial personal mistakes he makes occurs in a flashback from before the events of the story, in which his dedication?, ambition?, belief? inadvertently separates him from his family and sets the stage for the ensuing narrative. The only persistent character flaws we observe within Cyrus throughout the story itself are his trust, his idealism, and his self-sacrificing dedication to his friends.

But this level of social and emotional intelligence in our MC is still in complete contrast to a VN like Echo, where our main character and nearly all of the supporting cast are consistently saying all of the wrong things at all of the wrong times to one another, often to disastrous effect.

Compared to a Chase Hunter type, wise Cyrus represents an almost Ayanokoji-like level of MC self-insert escapism. It's the nearly same fantasy of the 10000 IQ charismatic anime protag, just translated onto a healthier (read: not downright Machiavellian) personality and story context. What if I had the confidence to help my friends in distress? What if I was able to speak without second guessing everything that comes out of my mouth? What if I chose all the right dialogue options in the infinitely complicated game of life?

I want to close by redoubling my assurance that this is not an attack on the verisimilitude and poignancy of Remember the Flowers as a novel. These observations neither hindered my enjoyment of the story nor seriously affected my immersion within it. As it stands, the facets of the story I discussed above ultimately constitute a small piece of RTF, and the game is still far from finished! I'm very curious to see if the story will eventually challenge Cyrus' personality, talents, and flaws as I've discussed them.

Thanks for reading!

(Finished on July 28th). It's very rare for me to develop feelings for someone or a character. Axel is one of those very few crushes, so with this new found hobby, I HAD to sculpt him too. A strong and caring man who's trying to be better... Axel is just the perfect tiger!

I did use the fabled Axel plush from Pawprint as a reference to this and this was a chance to learn more techniques while painting. The stripes on his face were the most challenging to do. Never again.

Underrated Real Time Fandub Lines: Sonic Adventure 2

“Za Warudo!”

“I’ll make you eat those words!”

Sonic trades barbs faster than his mind can process them.

“THAT’S RIGHT, SONIC! I’M TAKING IT FROM THE oh wait, Sonic isn’t here. Knuckles, I’m taking your emerald.”

Eggman fails to account for the Master Emerald’s guardian.

“SHADOW.”

“Thanks, I forgot who this was! Did we ever establish our names? Hi, I’m Sonic!”

All said in the same angry tone of voice.

“F*** you, moon! You never had the cheese I wanted!”

Doctor Ivo Robotnik, IQ of 300.

“I’m sorry, did you not consent to me saving your life? I’ll put you back down, I’m sorry!”

Knuckles knows not to push his boundaries.

“And now I will control the universe! AND EVERYONE WILL BE ABLE TO WATCH splatoon2letsplays BY EGGMAN! NOW GET IN THE F***ING ROOM!”

I feel like it would’ve been easier to put it on the news while you were taking everyone’s Best Buys, but you do you, buddy.

“THANKS, JESUS!”

Knuckles and the big man upstairs go way back.

“You know I’ve seen my fair share of piss rocks~”

“…You said that really sensually!”

I quote Sonic’s response constantly.

“What you see is what you get! Just a guy who loves piss rocks…and adventure. I’m gonna run now.”

“What the f***.”

From Shadow, that kinda hurts.

“It’s been seventeen days…”

Cut to later…

“THREE YEARS! I’VE BEEN IN HERE FOR THREE YEARS!”

How much time passed between those fades?

“Please stop, Ivo.”

“Uh…HOW DID YOU KNOW MY MIDDLE NAME?”

This can go one of three ways. Either Eggman’s lying to cover his tracks, his full name is Ivo Ivo Robotnik (his actual name is pronounced “Eee-Voh”), or he’s just named “Doctor”.

“I put hot sauce on everything-”

“No.”

Alfred immediately catches on to what Ryan’s going for.

“WOOP! WOOP! THAT’S THE SOUND OF THE POLICE!”

“That rap! It reminds me of her!”

I really want to know what the heck crimes Maria committed.

“I’m here to show you what Ninten can do…and what Za WaruDON’T!”

“That doesn’t even make any sense.”

Shadow as he prepares his epic Earthbound Beginnings/Jojo crossover fanfiction.

“My follower base!”

“And yet they still can’t figure out how to get nazis off their site.”

In which Shadow utterly scorches the entire platform.

“As long as I get my weed back, I don’t really care.”

“I don’t have a character motive.”

The best part is that since Shadow’s been shot down to Earth for reasons completely unrelated to G.U.N., he really doesn’t have a character motive other than being a troll.

“Are you my mom?”

“No? What? The f***?”

Amy the Hedgehog to Tails, who is a boy, a fox, and far younger than her.

“Yes, Rouge. Thank you for listening to my insane ramblings about peeing in a Hot Topic.”

You can just hear the realization hit him.

“NOW GET OUT OF MY F***ING FACE! BEFORE I PISS ON YOU TOO.”

Odd as it may be to put a line from the moon rant in an “underrated lines” compilation, nobody talks about how brilliant a conclusion this is.

“I can’t believe he came to his intervention drunk.”

Really? Because it sounds just like him.

“Here comes the WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED!”

DJ Inexplicable Talking Gemstone’s new hit rock song.

“Wait, I know you! I saw your dick on Twitter!”

That’s one heck of a way to introduce yourself, Amy.

“When I see you, it is ON SIGHT! IT IS ON! SIGHT-”

“Yeah, piss off.”

The Ultimate Life Form cares not for your threats.

“What the f***, you Hot Topic hot sauce motherf***er, why would you even say anything!?”

“There’s nothing hotter than hot sauce, Rouge.”

That’s not even remotely an answer to the question she asked you!

“But I wanted the last thing I breathe to be pot!”

I always used to mishear it as “pie”.

“I NEVER LEARNED HOW TO REEEAD!”

“That’s not really a surprise!”

Amy’s line was golden as is. Tails’ barely audible snapback is just icing.

“And that is why I! Am the true owner of the world! That’s right! All that you see before you? Everything the piss touches? That is your kingdom! And you, my son, shall go forth and inherit it!”

…what?

“MAN, THOSE BALLS SURE ARE SHAKING.”

Yes, thank you, Knuckles.

“Ah gave birth.”

Another great throwaway line.

“As we know, my dick is on my hand.”

This guy’s about to jack off…

“If I gave Shadow fifteen apples…and then Amy gave Shadow another sixTEEEN…and then Tails took away three…my question is…what is the total mass of the sun?”

“As Obama told me, it’s THREE!”

“YOU FIGURED IT OOOOUUUUUUUUuuuuuuu…ah.”

“Why does it sound like he’s getting further away-this is stupid.”

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful binge watch.

“Wait, that’s no moon, that’s a space station!”

“Nice reference. I also love Star Trek.”

Oh, Shadow.

“Shadow didn’t deserve to die for his piss-”

“Yeah he did!”

“-but here we are.”

She’s not wrong.

“My shoes-my shoes in my reflection are opaque, bye!”

Again, she’s not wrong.

“I’m not understanding any of this, but here’s a gloog.”

We all need a gloog in our life.

“So if we were to all drink piss, does that make you or me?”

“It makes us both avid piss drinkers.”

This explains so much.

“Can I ask you, um-”

“No. Make sure to like, comment and subs-”

No is one of the greatest words in the English language.

“This is a Big McIntosh…”

“Eeyup.”

It took me years to catch that reference.

“This is wagyu steak. Named after the dog, because wagyu tail?”

“WHAT?”

…I got hit by a “deez nuts” joke.

“I’m gonna get a paper towel.” (Grabs a jar of pickles)

Eh, close enough.

“Don’t worry, this one literally has gold on it, so you will die if you eat it.”

“Good, that was the goal.”

Talk about a rich flavor.

“You hit me in my nose! That’s the spot where I don’t like being hit!”

“Well then that’s where I’ll hit you on repeated instances!”

Sonic being a menace to society.

“Hey, that’s some good bars man, y’know I’m coming to kill you right now.”

“…Can you not do that?”

“Uhhh, for how long?”

“Give me at least…y’know fifteen, sixteen…years.”

Followed shortly by Eggman trying to gaslight Sonic into thinking he destroyed the world.

“If they did make a prune juice cocktail, like half prune juice, half vodka, that would be called the ‘factory reset’.”

I have no idea how they started talking about prune juice, but whatever.

“I HAVE…REEFER MADNESS!”

The Dark Story version of Rouge and Knuckles’ encounter is…strange to say the least.

“Hey that’s…”

“Hey, that’s…”

“Hey, that’s…”

“Hey, that’s!”

I think Shadow’s the fake hedgehog around here.

“I’m gonna kill you, and I’m sober now, ‘cause I went to my own intervention!”

Sometimes it just be like that.

“That was completely unnecessary. My back hurts now.”

Screaming for three consecutive years finally caught up with him.

“I diagnose you with DEAD, Wazowski!”

The entire Roz sequence came out of nowhere, and I love it for that.

“IS THIS WHAT HOT TOPIC IS NOW?!”

Not pictured: the epilogue to the Piss Saga.
