#we should all support each others

"I don't like saying it/its for a person, it feels dehumanizing" okay, but have you considered: pretend we're all playing tag

Fascinating how Edward's response to distressing events is to immediately get a hand on his nearest fellow lieutenant. Almost like he's afraid they'll be taken away from him or something.

I'm so so happy and proud seeing my artist friends be successful and recognized for their hard work and passion. Nothing feels better then cheering them on as they make their own personal projects which end up resonating with so many other people. :D

I'm an "AroAce Stereotype" I'm Romance averse/Repulsed> I'm Sex repulsed I'm non-partnering I hate the idea of marriage in all forms I don't want a QPR at all I'm loveless I'm someone who gets uncomfortable at sexual talk and sex jokes I'm someone who often has innuendos or sexual concept fly over my head. I'm someone who can't tell when someone is flirting with me I'm someone who can't pick up on romantic or sexual tension I'm someone who finds "shipping" to be annoying I'm someone who says "They just seem like friends to me" I'm someone who believed that attraction could be turned on or off I'm someone who can't make sense of romance at all and cant figure out what makes it different from every other relationship. I'm someone who thinks romance is stupid and sex is gross and I don't understand the big deal everyone makes about it I'm someone who never was upset to find out I was AroAce but rather relieved as I have a genuine fear of being stuck in a romantic relationship that i do not want. In all cases I am not an AroAce who can be considered "normal" by the standards of allo society.

I'm not just a stereotype for you to shit on. I'm not the reason aphobes are aphobic I'm not a problem that you need to erase and refute to be accepted by allos. I'm not an experience that you and ignore as "not really how aspec people are" just because You are not part of it. Stop leaving us behind. Stop throwing us under the bus. We deserve support too. We deserve to not be demonized and shunned because we're an "stereotype". We are not the problem. We are not a problem to be fixed. start fighting aphobes on their logic instead of trying to make up for our existence.

PLEASE STOP HARASSING DECK NINE DEVS AND LIS PLAYERS WHO DON'T AGREE WITH YOU.

Death threats are not okay.

Telling people to kill themselves is not okay.

Harassing people over fictional ships is not okay.

Harassing people over their opinion of a game is not okay.

Harassing already overstressed, overworked employees is not okay. ESPECIALLY since it's been documented they've been working under discriminatory and predatory management, been through multiple crunches, and have an unidentified neo-Nazi on their team who management did not properly address and fire.

You can still be critical of a game and not harass the people who made it. Hell, you can absolutely hate a game and still be respectful to the people who made it. I'm sure the creators are far more likely to listen to the fans if we give constructive criticism than if we irresponsibly and cruelly send threats.

I know most people who see this haven't sent hate, and to those people: this post isn't about you. I massively respect you for maintaining your rationality and empathy. But for those who have sent hate or are thinking of doing so, please reconsider. Sending hate isn't going to change anything; it'll only break the fandom even further apart and stress out overworked employees. If you're going to be mad, be mad at the higher-ups at Square Enix for turning the franchise into a cash cow and at the upper management at Deck Nine for overworking and alienating their employees. (Also be mad at that 1 neo-Nazi because seriously, WTF!?)

But please, even to the worst of the worst, do not send death threats or harass people.

As long as you're not a cdream apologist/dreblr you're OK in my books i guess /not prev anon

dreblr isn’t some secret evil coven, it’s just a loose collection of c!dream fans with a wide variety of differing (and sometimes contradictory) opinions on the lore.

i’m not a c!dream apologist but i’m def a part of dreblr! tbh it’s been one of the best fandom experiences i’ve ever had. ppl are super welcoming and kind, and there are tons of great writers and artists. i’m happy to be here.

not to beat a dead horse but there's something kind of illuminating and warmie yet sad about the fact that Taylor's parents are attending Travis' game with her and regularly. I know the "you never saw--" joke is old, but the idea that [redacted]'s family did actually occasionally attend events with Taylor (including at what it seems may have been a difficult time), but after a certain point she herself didn't/couldn't attend his in turn, never mind her family, and it's just a testament to how different things are now, how different her life is, and frankly how integrated their family life has become. Idk I'm just really happy for popstar bestie because I feel like this is probably everything she ever wanted and didn't know she could have at one point.

Anytime I see discourse meant to divide the trans and queer community I look up trans art and queer art and I'm reminded of how many people create art to express themselves and create beautiful art and I'm reminded that the entire queer experience is vast and there's less people that want to divide and endlessly fight than there are people who are spreading art and joy and work to help make real changes.

A lot of times it feels like people think it's more important to endlessly debate terms and deciding who experiences what oppression or privileges instead of deciding to listen to each other and learn how to fight against these oppressive systems together and do the way more boring work of getting involved locally. You need to be able to listen to other people's experiences to be able to work together to defeat the system. Everyone who wants the queer community gone only benefits when we're divided.

Heres some resources to check out if you're in the US. A lot of organizations right now are dealing with way more people needing help with the upcoming Trump presidency.

Dear merchant, as an Airfryer shipper, please forgive my fellow shipper if they ever attack you for shipping Pitayafire.

Also, *cough cough* "it's dark in my imagination" next chapter?

I have no idea what Airfryer is, but thank you for your kindness anyway 🫡 no one has given me trouble for shipping PitayaFire (yet), thankfully. (Sometimes I wonder why? Never got too much trouble for shipping BurningCheese and Beast x Ancient, either. Maybe it's because I'm pretty unknown? 700-ish followers isn't much in the grand scheme of things. I suppose being such a small fry is a blessing in disguise.) I don't intend to pay them any mind if they ever do. Best not to bother with people like that. "Do what you want and be happy" is the way to go about things, I think. And I've got thick skin and more important things to worry about than internet randos bashing me for wanting the fire man to kiss+fuck the dragon lol

(as for It's Dark In My Imagination... Soon 👀 I'm sorry that's so late, I never meant for it to be. I've had a lot to deal with irl the past couple of months (major crisis of confidence + legitimate emergencies, like the scare with my dog) and it took me away from writing. But I'm trying to get back on the saddle! I'm about 4k words into the final draft, chapter 3 should be posted in the next day or two hopefully! I didn't abandon the fic, I promise! Chapter 3 exists and you'll see it soon!)

YALL KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!!!! MORE SCREENSHOTS FOR EVERYBODY!

Once again bringing up that I’m tired of seeing posts strictly for the female fans of the game. So here he is in all his glory, the absolute (bisexual??) icon of the franchise! Doesn’t matter if you’re a girl or a guy- or in my MCs case- something else, chances are he’s going to try his hand!

HAVE SOME FREE SEBASTIAN BECAUSE YOU DESERVE IT NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE❤️ PEACE AND LOVE ON PLANET EARTH

[shellxrls]

why is nobody capable of originality it’s one thing to expand on ideas yeah with permission that’s very much what the community is there for but word for word taking things ?????

[cenvast]

does kabshiro have pet names or cute nicknames for each other or would they rather call each other by their regular names. Do they call each other stuff like Honey or Babe?

Kabru calls Toshiro by his name because it already feels intimate for both of them. Since most people in his life either address him as "Young Master" or "Shuro," "Toshiro" is arguably a pretty singular way to refer to him. Kabru definitely seems like he could be a pet name user, but I don't think he would be with Toshiro.

Toshiro also usually uses Kabru's name. He might use something old-fashioned like "dear" later on in their relationship. To other people, they would refer to each other by their names or depending on the time and context, "my partner/husband."

The DunMeshi characters all speak Japanese in the text, so we can assume that it's their equivalent of Common. Disclaimer that I'm not a Japanese speaker, so very sorry if this is an inaccurate usage of the word, but I could see Toshiro referring to Kabru as "anata" once they're married. From my understanding, "anata" is sometimes used by couples. It means "you," but it has a more deliberately intimate connotation in a close relationship, since you typically drop the second person pronoun when speaking directly to someone.

I don't really see them as the type of couple to express affection through pet names, and that might be influenced by the thought giving me mild psychic damage 😭 No hate at all if you like them having pet names for each other. This is just my cross to bear... But if anything, their pet names for each other would be to get the other's attention like "Hey, where are the keys?" or "Hey, can you do the dishes?" For me, Kabshiro, after they've been with each other for a few years, is about the intimacy of living a life together in a quietly familiar way <3

I still haven't recovered from Sydney actually oh my god. I went a little um. Crazy. On the snapshots. And I started trying to figure out which pose to do with who and if I should do something special with yooh because she's my ult bias but ultimately I was like well but I love them all. Hearts for everyone. So the first six were in Melbourne and genuinely every single one of them was magical and I don't regret a single bit of that money because I'm first of all so happy I got to thank all of them in person but also I'm going to treasure those pics forever but then Sydney was like. The Big one. You know. AND SHE PRANKED ME.

[I removed the image because I got Scared people who know me could see the image and realise it's me even with the blur lol. She's giving me bunny ears]

So now I have six hearts and yooh doing this which is better than I could have ever imagined 😭 the spike in my heartrate halfway back to the SVIP hitouch line when I opened my photos and realised....

Get yourself one or more friends you feel like you need to live next to and visit constantly and hang out with all the time. Get yourself one or more friends who you trade compliments with. Get yourself one or more friends you would cuddle with. It's good for you

[mongrelmutt]

Got called bitter for pointing out that you don't need makeup, eyelash extensions, to find your "pink" (whatever that is), cute haircuts, etc. to be feminine.

But tell me again how all that is a personal choice, no societal pressures influencing that decision at all 🙄
