MY GOODNESS

[fuckdamn]

everytime i’m faced with wild overt misogyny that’s just platformed like it’s nothing i remind myself that people don’t actually have to feel this way about women. men are fully capable of treating women like human beings and viewing them as such. “but socialization but male fantasies but patriatchy speaks through us even when we don’t recognize it” sure but actually regardless there exist men who are fundamentally not raging misogynists and they generally seem happier and better adjusted. misogyny to me isn’t disappointing because “oh i can’t believe Men, as an essentialized category of person, are like this” it’s disappointing because people make the choice to be like this. “it’s my biological imperative as a man to dominate you” okay well it’s my biological imperative as a freaky bitch to dominate you so what now. what biological imperative is making you comment “onlyfans detected opinion rejected” on every picture of any attractive woman. i think i will always be understood by most people as a woman and i’m learning to accept that and trying to like it but misogyny makes me feel very trapped of course. but misogyny is a choice. which means some people make the choice to be misogynistic which is profoundly frustrating. but many other people choose not to be actively misogynistic and i believe anyone could choose not to be actively misogynistic if they wanted. so it’s a whole thing

I'll say one thing about dredge, no game has as rapidly recontextualized itself in my eyes as when i drove up to what i thought was a shipwreck only for it to come alive as a crab and attempt to smash my ship

I stared at that for a good long while processing

Zero Mission: Slight detour toward the end, but Samus is doing well.

Prime: Momentary bittersweetness, but Samus is doing well.

Echoes: Despite everything, the day was saved. Samus is doing well.

Corruption: The day was saved, but at a cost. Samus is... alive.

Return Of Samus: An ugly, yet hopefully necessary task, offset by a small ray of hope at the end. Samus is not doing well.

Super: That hope was delivered... and then immediately stolen, warped and mutated, and then killed. The last Metroid is dead. The galaxy is (not?) at peace. Samus is not doing well.

Fusion: Actions have consequences, and the consequences for extinction have shown themselves. Samus has lost nearly everything familiar and comfortable, with only the ghost of an old friend found instead. Samus is not doing well.

Dread: New bullshit after new bullshit, piled higher and higher and higher. Samus is not doing well, but that doesn't matter, because Samus is fucking done.

The Wereweevil Curse

The Wereweevil Curse, or Werebeast Curse, is a curse initially engineered by the deity Mars of the Southern Heartwood Kingdoms. Although initially engineered in order to punish a particular colony of social bugs, it is now known primarily for its association with loose swarms of

A Werebeast Curse can only be passed by bite, though the wereweevil may deal other wounds. Goring by the tusks will achieve a similar effect, but will be less survivable - the bite must be inflicted during the night of the full moon, and biting in bug form will produce no effect. If a turning bite is successful, all wounds will heal come sunrise, and the new werebeast will be set on the clock until their new form sets in. Symptoms will set in slowly over the course of the next month - if caught early, the curse can be eased or nullified, but once it's fully set in, there's little that can be done but treating symptoms and helping the wereweevil cope with their new status.

Symptoms are as follows:

-Increased appetite. You need to feed both your normal body and your werebeast body. Your appetite may also swing more towards your cursed species. Although other strains exist beyond the wereweevil strain, they are significantly more rare and generally made of variations on the same theme

-Sensitivity to silver. Strong allergy in normal form, but it burns in werebeast form. Only thing that can leave long-lasting wounds. Wounds cannot heal as usual around wounds inflicted by silver, and transforming may worsen them, tearing them open all over again.

-Strong need for companionship. If not in regular contact with other bugs, the nervous system can lose proper function, gradually causing loss of mental clarity, erratic behavior, and eventual seizures. If the werebeast does not have a pack during the full moon, this will drive them to try to bite other people, especially those they know well in a desperate attempt to grasp for companionship

-Healing. Fully heals when transforming into or out of the form. Can transfer somewhat to usual form with significant stress causing the other form to "leak". Scars will still remain.

-Strength and durability. This is less measurable than other things - will tend to "ramp up" over time, getting more prevalent the longer that the werebeast carries the curse as the curse "sets in" to their body. Over time, wounds dealt by anything but silver will have less and less impact on the werebeast, until they're nearly immune to non-silver weapons - this is caused by a gradual "toughening" of the body as the magic sets in, combined with the incredible workout that transforming and existing as a werebeast puts on the muscles. Any sufficiently magical weapon may bypass this durability, dealing wounds as usual.

-Transformation on every full moon. The obvious one. The transformation begins when the first rays of the moon touch your shell - if the bug in question remains indoors during this period, it will trigger once the moon reaches its apex, albeit taking significantly more of a tax on the body - letting the moon "draw" the transformation out versus the beast ripping its way out of your body by force. You are the beast, but the beast has none of your inhibitions, acting on emotion and instinct. Under high stress, the other form can leak in to the normal form, allowing for partial transformations. The longer you have the curse, the more likely you are to gain characteristics of your werebeast form even in your normal form.

The first transformation will always come with a high chance of death, a massive amount of stresses all covening on the body at once - in many cases, the newly-turned werebeast will go partway through the transformation and expire from the strain, the healing failing to keep up with the physical and psychological distress of the body being literally ripped apart and reformed across entire different lines and leaving a twisted, half-transformed corpse.

If treated before the first transformation, the progression of the curse can be halted entirely - though it generally leaves a handful of symptoms behind unless treated before the wound heals, if the curse is halted early, then it will vanish leaving only a bit of silver sensitivity and a minor tendency towards clinginess. Once the first transformation is complete, then the curse cannot be lifted.

Although a handful of variants of the curse exist, none have been recorded within Bugaria's borders - and almost all are engineered from the same original curse, generally caused either by altering the impact on a pre-existing wereweevil or by attempts to recreate the effect with other forms of magic.

The closer one's biology is to their other form, the easier the transformation is - the first transformation is always the hardest, forcing the body into a shape that was previously entirely alien to it and imprinting that form onto the bug permanently. The longer one has been a werebeast, the easier the transformation tends to be as the curse leaks through - older werebeasts can transform almost seamlessly, though the stress from the curse tends to shorten a bug's lifespan regardless of how easy the shift gets.

Due to this, larger packs of wereweevils tend to have significant numbers of both roaches and mantids - this is, notably, one of the very few situations in which mantids will form large social groups in general, as the curse tends to override the natural tendancy for isolation in large predatory bugs.

Offspring of a werebeast will be an almost entirely normal bug, though they may inherit a handful of leftover symptoms of the curse (much like a bug who was cured before the curse could fully take root, though with the notable difference that they are often capable of inheriting a greater-than-usual baseline for strength or durability)

been feeling so terrified that it’s making me nauseous for the past three hours i don’t even know what i’m afraid of literally what is my problem!! what is this!! can it stop!!

[snekdood]

how is it that white leftists think its bad for a white person to identify with (not as) and see themselves in characters of color from shows n shit but have no issue stepping inside the role of poc irl and act like they actually feel their pain as much as they do or understand their suffering better somehow. make it make sense.

[soupslashers]

asa emory is a bdsm enjoyer and a heavy dominant, i think we can agree on that.

but can you imagine being a submissive, HIS submissive, and suggesting primal play only to find out you’re now being chased by a 200+ pound 6’2 mother fucker who is somehow near silent with the tracking skills of a god damn bloodhound?? funny haha because you think, he’s an entomologist. a fucking college professor. no way he’s geared up to enact surprise attacks with the efficiency of a spec op with how he pops out of nowhere. but OH LOOK, you’re speeding through your agreed upon area when this big bitch pops out and suddenly you’ve got a titanium steel grip around your throat ten fucking minutes into this little game. smile wiped clean off your face because you dumbly agreed you’d let him do whatever he wanted if he caught you.

[speakercrab666]

ngl I do think my biggest gripe with myths of the realm in a narrative sense is having it be so late in 14’s life means you end up with a lot of unanswered questions that are just a result of how the content wasn’t created until later

Speaking of hot arrancars... as I remember in all asks on subject you never said that you'd like to fuck Barragan. Everyone, anyone, but him. Why so? Segunda Espada is manly and not bad looking, even if old.

❝ Mah, I guess I would if I didn't have better options. Lookin' old 's unattractive 'ta me, dunno why. ❞ Yeah, it was kind of ironic. Seeing as he, himself, was OLD. He was rapidly heading towards the magical one thousand years. Barragan was older, for sure. Nnoitra was pretty sure it had something to do with fertility. When you could SEE someone's age like that, they were proving with their appearance that they were past their prime. That was unattractive to Nnoitra. Even more so in females than in males. It was probably because his primal instinct told him that sex had to include breeding. Even with other males.
