Wait, people have actually complained about ROs being gender selectable? Just… why? If there were any gender locked characters (Especially the MC) people would almost definitely complain even more. People are just so confusing. Of course I don’t particularly care about what is someone’s pants or under their shirt AND all of the ROs sound equally attractive so I’m just going with the coin flip method. (Alright C & D… flip… tails? C you’re male, D you’re female. NEXT.) I had a character ask but I’ll send it later maybe, because this message is probably already much too long. Sorry about that.
no worries! that was definitely my thought since i think i’ve definitely made them so far distinguishable in the book based on the gender you select them to be. it’s definitely clear that they’re supposed to be easy to differentiate with how they’ve got different heights, features, etc., in the contexts i put them in.
ngl tho, i think a lot of people just want to complain for the sake of complaining so i’ve just started to delete these types of asks for my own sanity 😭

still upsets me so bad that homare's skating career was overshadowed by her crush on harry like why.... why did henri have more of an arc in that regard than she did hes a side character. and i love henri ofc his relationship with masato and his conflict with growing older and becoming less androgynous looking is genuinely such a great storyline and i wouldnt give it up for anything but homare deserved to have an equally well thought-out storyline considering shes one of the main characters but i always feel like she was just reduced to her crush on harry and it just makes me :/

I've never been super hurt by canon x canon ships before - sure, I don't like them, but they've always been easy to filter away - but now I am living through the agony of there being a popular ship with your f/o that you just can't filter away because it's everywhere 🥲

how and why is there discourse about whether or not certain queer identities exist/if people should be allowed(???) to use them. why is "people know their own identity better than you ever could, and they're the only one who get a say on what they are" such a tough concept to grasp
i think if you find yourself offended by the label someone uses (especially if they're a stranger) or think it invalidates your own, it's a good idea to look inside yourself and question why that may be. more often than not, it's a result of insecurity or uncertainty of your own identity (or many other things, but i won't make a whole list here). whatever reason it is, until you resolve it, you shouldn't take it out on people for having an identity you don't understand
many have said it before but it's worth saying over and over. infighting only helps our oppressors. conservatives don't care if you're a cis gay or a xenogender aegosexual aplatonic lesbian, they hate all of us either way. trying to fit in by going for people who are easier targets for them isn't gonna help you, it'll just alienate you from your own community, and you're never gonna please them. the momentary rush you get from hearing you're not like "one of /those/ gay people" is not worth it and is gonna do more harm in the long run, i assure you
also, it is important to me to say this, but having some less than nice kneejerk reaction caused by confusion about an identity you don't understand doesn't mean you're a bad person or anything. as long as you aren't mean to that person, and you take a second to think smth along the lines of "wait a minute, this isn't any of my business" after having said reaction, you're good 👍 a lot of reflexive reactions we have to things are ingrained into us simply by. well. living in a society 🤡 and you're not terrible for having those thoughts. it's your actions that matter, and your second thought (the "wait, why did i just think that?") is more defining of your actual character and morals than your reflex. i know that having thoughts like this, even tho they're unwanted, can very easily make one spiral, so it's important to me that whoever needs to hear this knows this doesn't make you a bad person 🙏 you're good, keep taking actions to be good, accept other people even if you don't understand them, and you're on the right track :)

Sometimes I get kind of downhearted seeing artists who can consistently make fanart pieces every few days and stay relevant in their communities. I think to myself "I wish I could be that.. I COULD be that!"
Except, I work nearly 50 hours a week every week, and all my very limited free time is usually scheduled to a T ... I want to quit my job so bad because it's really ruining my ability to make art and do things I really enjoy. I want to be in my communities, and I want to make people happy with my art again <:(

Eye cannot wait to be independent of my parents once we get our immigration status bc doing any beaurecratic anything thats connected to them is like pulling teeth. I have to be super patient and coax and remind them a bunch to do Anything. Its like my needs & concerns dont matter to them sometimes. If i was not reliant on them everything in my life would go so much more smoothly i s2g
