Social transition being seen (by some) as this super easy thing that isn't as hard as real transitioning (medical) is bullshit. Be critical of the idea that there are some trans people who just "have it easy" because they are trans or because they are trans in ways you may not be.

Social transition is just as difficult, hard, and rewarding as medical transition. Maybe it is not as hard for some, sure, but that is not the same as thinking that social transition is inherently easier or lesser. If you're socially transitioning, your voice still matters.

More venting in the tags, again just ignore me.

I'm gonna have to do this a couple of times, tag limits exist after all.

I don't know what to do, I need to vent but I uninstalled all social media besides this hellsite app, so I'm going to vent in the tags, just ignore me if you see this.

Thinking about how messed up the possibility that Autobots could have never found Smokescreen without the key made me sick to the core

Jimmy killing himself because he knows he is incapable of living an life without Curly and knows that in the miracle chance they were found and saved they would not let him have contact with Curly and he hates the idea he'd actually have to take responsibility.

Even if he lied, its only a matter of time before Curly is capable of showing or telling what a monster he really is, no matter what delusions tell Jimmy Curly would never do that to him.

He understands that he was the monster in everyone's worse moments but refused to accept that at the end. So he made sure that he died without the possibility of it being actualized as he's the only one that saw death as an escape rather than a release. Jimmy truly didn't believe Curly had anything to escape from even after everything and let him have what he perceived as glory as the sole survivor and thus Captain of the Tulpar.

“Believe victims” =/= “immediately pursue punitive justice against an accused perpetrator”

For UNEND, I'm very excited both for more general Un lore (places! people! creatures!) and to see if perhaps there will be echoes, decades on, of what happened to the Trust after it collapsed. Will there be the occasional person who still wears valor beads, a little chipped and worn with age? Do they wear them with nostalgia? Longing? Bitterness? Stubbornness? Has the valor and caenum tree on Midst developed any particular cultural significance? What has become of the Highest Light? Did the people there adapt and reform a new society with different rules? Is there an offshoot cult that tried to keep going and got even weirder? Do people keep their or their family's old abacuses in a box like heirloom jewelry that is no longer fashionable? I am gnashing my teeth in a calm and collected manner.

I read the last three light novels for So I'm a Spider, So What? the other day after taking a break from it for awhile and now I'm sad about Ariel and Shiraori.

So I drew this, Ariel with one of Shiraori's mini-mes that were left behind.

'he wasn't sorry but he didn't know how to live without kevin'

that's so fucking interesting you don't understand. kevin did not have a good time in his first few months at psu, or throughout the entire year actually, but he latched onto andrew and then neil so hard, even if the foxes weren't particularly nice to him they still probably helped keep him afloat mentally.

jean became riko's official partner after but he had a longer leash than kevin and he still slept in his own room. riko left kevin's side of the room untouched. riko slept alone the entire year. when was the last time he slept alone, woke up alone, did anything at all without kevin by his side. a decade ago?

but he wasn't sorry, because in that moment he saw kevin as a threat and this is what happens when you defy a moriyama. and the ravens turned on kevin instead, because of course they did. so he wasn't sorry but he still wanted kevin to come back, he wanted kevin to watch from the sidelines as riko lived out their dreams because he still couldn't imagine a future without kevin there in some capacity. he very nearly destroyed kevin to keep his status as 'number 1' (because who is he when he's not number 1) but at the same time he couldn't give up on kevin. and that ended up being his downfall, because between his obsession with riko and his need to be the best, kevin chose the latter, somehow.

Randomly ranting about AI.

The thing that’s so fucking frustrating to me when it comes to chat ai bots and the amount of people that use those platforms for whatever godamn reason, whether it be to engage with the bots or make them, is that they’ll complain that reading/creating fanfic is cringe or they don’t like reader-inserts or roleplaying with others in fandom spaces. Yet the very bots they’re using are mimicking the same methods they complain about as a base to create spaces for people to interact with characters they like. Where do you think the bots learned to respond like that? Why do you think you have to “train” AI to tailor responses you’re more inclined to like? It’s actively ripping off of your creativity and ideas, even if you don’t write, you are taking control of the scenario you want to reenact, the same things writers do in general.

Some people literally take ideas that you find from fics online, word for word bar for bar, taking from individuals who have the capacity to think with their brains and imagination, and they’ll put it into the damn ai summary, and then put it on a separate platform for others so they can rummage through mediocre responses that lack human emotion and sensuality. Not only are the chat bots a problem, AI being in writing software and platforms too are another thing. AI shouldn’t be anywhere near the arts, because ultimately all it does is copy and mimic other people’s creations under the guise of creating content for consumption. There’s nothing appealing or original or interesting about what AI does, but with how quickly people are getting used to being forced to used AI because it’s being put into everything we use and do, people don’t care enough to do the labor of reading and researching on their own, it’s all through ChatGPT and that’s intentional.

I shouldn’t have to manually turn off AI learning software on my phone or laptop or any device I use, and they make it difficult to do so. I shouldn’t have to code my own damn things just to avoid using it. Like when you really sit down and think about how much AI is in our day to day life especially when you compare the different of the frequency of AI usage from 2 years ago to now, it’s actually ridiculous how we can’t escape it, and it’s only causing more problems.

People’s attention spans are deteriorating, their capacity to come up with original ideas and to be invested in storytelling is going down the drain along with their media literacy. It hurts more than anything cause we really didn’t have to go into this direction in society, but of course rich people are more inclined to make sure everybody on the planet are mindless robots and take whatever mechanical slop is fucking thrown at them while repressing everything that has to deal with creativity and passion and human expression.

The frequency of AI and the fact that it’s literally everywhere and you can’t escape it is a symptom of late stage capitalism and ties to the rise of fascism as the corporations/individuals who create, manage, and distribute these AI systems could care less about the harmful biases that are fed into these systems. They also don’t care about the fact that the data centers that hold this technology need so much water and energy to manage it it’s ruining our ecosystems and speeding up climate change that will have us experience climate disasters like with what’s happening in Los Angeles as it burns.

I pray for the downfall and complete shutdown of all ai chat bot apps and websites. It’s not worth it, and the fact that there’s so many people using it without realizing the damage it’s causing it’s so frustrating.

with the bullshit sophieinwonderland is pulling on anti-lies blog right now, i'd like to direct sysblrs attention to how delusions and hallucinations are often treated in syscourse.

often times, people will use the presence of delusions or hallucinations to try and claim someone is unable to know things about themselves. the idea that delusions and hallucinations make someone completely unreliable is ableism.

what sophie is doing on anti-lies right now is making a complete mockery of delusional people and triggering many more delusions for people. it isn't funny, it isn't cute, it's not a good bit. knock it the fuck off, stop being ableist in your pursuit for "plural acceptance"

Yeah, you can face this You're on your own, kid You always have been

LU healthcare has been stuck in my brain. I adore our boys working hard to help people feel better! But Im also thinking about who may help them feel better? Healthcare is a draining field after all.

Malon and Time leaning on each other when one or both of them are having a time of it, making a point to hang out together at home doing absolutely nothing. Maybe watching a movie, ordering food in, but taking a break from being on their feet all the time. Twilight becoming part of their veg sessions.

The group checking in on Sky every so often, dropping by to hand off food or just hanging out with him in the same space. Just in case he's getting bad again.

Shadow ordering enough take out to feed four people for him and Four when he's had a hard shift, letting him rant about whatever bullshit happened and nodding along. Even if he doesn't quite get all the terms used.

Just... Gah!! Support systems!! Love them

Malon and Time have a little water fountain in their house and some days when they're both fresh off work stretches they'll just put it on, sit on the couch, and say nothing and do nothing. They'll just cuddle and be close to each other <3

I can also see them having movie veg sessions with Twilight, as well as Wild <3

fjdksljafieowajkfdsl yes the group checking in on Sky like that is TJEIWAOJFEWAKF T-T <3 <3

Four finds solace in playing video games and going to bakeries and cafes to read. He also does hobby blacksmithing :D Usually, he'll run into his friends while going out - Hyrule in particular loves pastries, so they'll run into each other a lot at the bakery. Twilight will go shopping for tools with Four, and they'll spend the whole day hanging out.

Checking Constance's Supreme support :

Constance asks Supreme Leader to help her restore her house, as soon as their C support :

It's a small thing regarding my house. I thought Your Highness might bend some slight effort toward seeing it restored from nothing.

Supreme Leader replies that given the present circumstances, she can't do a lot :

I had a feeling that was it. I wish I could help, but you must understand my present circumstances...

(even if we know that, by that time, she already was the one who appointed Emile in Hrym!)

So while Constance tries to impress her with her magic tricks like rainbow tea, Supreme Leader's support goes on more important territory :

Note the "I would like to talk with you about" that replaced the "I want to know".

It's more explicit in the jp version, but apparently, Supreme Leader tells Constance that she can expect more than "being an ally and a friend and getting along with magical research" if she... reveals her secret about House Nuvelle.

Otherwise, there's nothing she can do as the Imperial Princess?

The "if you expect more, you need to be prepared" really sounds like one of Fraud's lines : they will use their influence/help the other party... only if said other party reveals some piece of intel they'd like to know.

The explicit confirmation happens in the B convo :

I am ready to enlighten you regarding the secret that House Nuvelle has kept for generations.

The cat's out of the bag :

You have my gratitude. You will be rewarded for taking such a drastic measure.

Constance will receive, supposedly, Supreme Leader's help to restore House Nuvelle, not because they are friends and all, but only because she accepted to reveal the secret about Noa's crest.

I know it didn't came through the script and/or the playthroughs of FE16, but I'm more and more wondering if Fraud and Supreme Leader having similar methods - at least here - and sort of similar goals (I mean, for the ones involving the CoS and the evil lizard lady) wasn't something the devs banked on in FE16, which led them to write Nopes' Fraud the way he is written, but without his epiphany from the timeskip.

Something like, with Billy, Fraud stops being a bootleg copy of Supreme Leader and """grows""", but before, they're two peas in a pod - which is something Nopes highlights.

The JP version confirms that House Nuvelle isn't a, uh, very close-knit family, they marry people who aren't from their circle, but the "not bring Nuvelle's blood into other families" to me means that the children born of any union is a member of House Nuvelle, to make sure the Noa line wouldn't be spread out.

Granted, Supreme Leader already knew the secret of the House was tied to the crest of Noa, maybe it was something Uncle told her and she wanted confirmation? Or it was something shared in the Imperial Family?

Interesting... I always had the inkling that the six noble houses were eager to see House Nuvelle fall.

And yet, per Constance and Nopes!Lorenz's words, it was Ionius who ended the House, not any of the Six Great Houses...

Also, why would they want to get rid of House Nuvelle if it had little to no influence in Adrestia, nor allies?

Is the Crest of Noa so important - bar Chalice shenanigans - that it'd make other Houses upset? IDK.

but if the nuvelles are nabatean hybrids through Noa herself, it'd make more sense for Uncle or even Ionius to get rid of them

oh well, another thing left to the 10k years of lore.
