I can barely begin to express how much the course of my life has been altered because of a 40 minute highlight video done by @jelloapocalypse and friends riffing over a 20 year old sky pirate game.
I made an off-handed comment after watching it together with two of my longtime friends, about how much I wish I had what Vyrsa had, and one of those friends STRAIGHT-UP TELLS ME that her and her wife have been crushing on me for a while.
The feeling was mutual, though I'd been of course hesitant to even hint at it.
Anyway now a few months later, we're a thruple, and we decided to honor the genesis of our relationship by cosplaying as the trio that made it a reality for my 30th birthday!
PinkCatNinja, me (CatComixzStudios), and ArtieStokes as Aika, Vyce Vyrsa, and Fina respectively, from SKIES OF ARCADIA!
And as a bonus, a comment I left on the video before my egg would crack completely (was still IDing as genderfluid at the time)
#skies of arcadia#cosplay#gabbin'#i still cannot get over how much of a bullseye this video ended up being for me#i could not possibly be more the Target Audience if i tried#cool game with hilarious commentary where the crew headcanon the main trio as a thruple?#where the lead is a trans girl?#all they need to do is make it furry and they would have basically created the Platonic Ideal of art to me#anyway special thanks to pinkcatninja for being the one to shoot her shot#and to artiestokes for working her ASS off making these costumes#we had smaller versions of the flag but we're also thinking of doing this cosplay again complete with weapon props and stuff#hoping to also get pictures if we do it again to mirror the actual thumbnail of the vid#(fun fact: the thumbnail for the video is what we use as the icon for our personal discord server)#god. wild to think that i'm probably gonna be moving in with them in the future#seriously i'm never going to get over the domino chain this video has become in my life

Subjecting someone to full-body paralysis and then using them as a doll to throw around, use as stress relief, get to say and do whatever the hell their owner wants them to, all the while they're fully conscious.
Maybe they despise it. Maybe they love it. Maybe they're on one side and want to try and fail to make themselves believe it's the other.
It doesn't matter, ultimately. What matters is this; they do not have a single ounce of control over it.
They are trapped, held prisoner with their own body. Nothing is their choice. Something as simple as choosing to stand up or sit down - choosing to socialize or isolate - choosing what to eat, what to drink, what it enjoys - choosing whether it lives or dies - it's not up to them! they can't even let the person doing it know if they're feeling bad about it, because that's as they designed it - you're going to be their doll whether you like it or not, and dolls don't get to talk beyond what they're made to do.
#posted by hecate#ideally this will be targeted at a few people. perhaps it will hit the mark - perhaps it will not.#but if it does. we feel that would be wonderful.

It seems that Eggman has finally had enough of the troublesome E 123 Omega and now seeks to destroy him, permanently. The bot for the job? Metal Sonic. Who do you think would win , with no outside influence?
Or would they be too evenly matched and their fate is mutually assured destruction.
Mutually assured destruction, if a little delayed.
Omega has Shadow and Rouge to avenge him, after all. Metal Sonic does not possess such a privilege.
#top ten posts that make me sad as hell#metal sonic#e-123 omega#to explain further- Omega is good. he is VERY good.#but he's much more of a generalist and his ideal combat is a target-rich environment of weaker robots#he can still stand up to supersonic opponents better than almost any other robot Eggman has ever designed#but in a straightforward fight he is outran by Metal. every time.#Metal Sonic is worse at fighting groups than Omega. but this isn't a group fight. it's 1-v-1#Metal's whole thing is 1-v-1 fights. an ambush predator if you will.#this is exactly the sort of circumstance Metal would favor#I have a lot of thoughts about this and I might make my own post about it. hmmmmmm.

I think I’ve watched Coraline too many times this month, because a Soong brother crossover AU just came to me.
#tell me Lore wouldn’t be a prime target for the Beldam.#logically it should also be a human child AU but it would be hilarious if Lore just crawled through the portal as a grown ass android#the most interesting part to me is trying to imagine Lore’s idealized versions of Data B-4 Noonien and Juliana!#it’s obvious that Noonien would probably be like ‘you are so perfect and I wish I would have stopped with you! 😍’#and Data would probably be ‘yes brother I would love to join in your dastardly plans! I love you and I admit that you are more perfect!’

"Among their complaints [in 1460, the Yorkists] specifically blamed the earls of Wiltshire and Shrewsbury and Viscount Beaumont for ‘stirring’ the king [Henry VI] to hold a parliament at Coventry that would attaint them and for keeping them from the king’s presence and likely mercy, asserting that this was done against [the king's] will. To this they added the charge that these evil counselors were also tyrannizing other true men* without the king’s knowledge. Such claims of malfeasance obliquely raised the question of Henry’s fitness as a king, for how could he be deemed competent if such things happened without his knowledge and against his wishes? They also tied in rumors circulating somewhat earlier in the southern counties and likely to have originated in Calais that Henry was really ‘good and gracious Lord to the [Yorkists] since, it was alleged, he had not known of or assented to their attainders. On 11 June the king was compelled to issue a proclamation stating that they were indeed traitors and that assertions to the contrary were to be ignored." — Helen Maurer, Margaret of Anjou: "Queenship and Power in Late Medieval England
Three things that we can surmise from this:
We know where the "Henry was an innocent helpless king being controlled and manipulated by his Evil™ advisors" rhetoric came from**.
The Yorkists were deliberately trying to downplay Henry VI's actual role and involvement in politics and the Wars of the Roses. They cast him as a "statue of a king", blamed all royal policies and decisions on others*** (claiming that Henry wasn't even aware of them), and framed themselves as righteous and misunderstood counselors who remained loyal to the crown. We should keep this in mind when we look at chronicles' comments of Henry's alleged passivity and the so-called "role reversal" between him and Margaret.
Henry VI's actual agency and involvement is nevertheless proven by his own actions. We know what he thought of the Yorkists, and we know he took the effort to publicly counter their claims through a proclamation of his own. That speaks louder than the politically motivated narrative of his enemies, don't you think?
*There was some truth to these criticisms. For example, Wiltshire (ie: one of the men named in the pamphlet) was reportedly involved in a horrible situation in June which included hangings and imprisonments for tax resistance in Newbury. The best propagandists always contain a degree of truth, etc. **I've seen some theories on why Margaret of Anjou wasn't mentioned in these pamphlets alongside the others even though she was clearly being vilified during that time as well, and honestly, I think those speculations are mostly unnecessary. Margaret was absent because it was regarded as very unseemly to target queens in such an officially public manner. We see a similar situation a decade later: Elizabeth Woodville was vilified and her whole family - popularly and administratively known as "the queen's kin" - was disparaged in Warwick and Clarence's pamphlets. This would have inevitably associated her with their official complaints far more than Margaret had been, but she was also not directly mentioned. It was simply not considered appropriate. ***This narrative was begun by the Duke of York & Warwick and was - demonstrably - already widespread by the end of 1460. When Edward IV came to power, there seems to have been a slight shift in how he spoke of Henry (he referred to Henry as their "great enemy and adversary"; his envoys were clearly willing to acknowledge Henry's role in Lancastrian resistance to Yorkist rule; etc), but he nevertheless continued the former narrative for the most part. I think this was because 1) it was already well-established and widespread by his father, and 2) downplaying Henry's authority would have served to emphasize Edward's own kingship, which was probably advantageous for a usurper whose deposed rival was still alive and out of reach. In some sense, the Lancastrians did the same thing with their own propaganda across the 1460s, which was clearly not as effective in terms of garnering support and is too long to get into right now, but was still very relevant when it came to emphasizing their own right to the throne while disparaging the Yorkists' claim.
#henry vi#my post#wars of the roses#margaret of anjou#Look I’m not trying to argue that Henry VI was secretly some kind of Perfect King™ whose only misfortune was to be targeted by the Yorkists#That is...obviously pushing it and obviously not true#Henry was very imperfect; he did make lots of errors and haphazard/unpopular decisions; and he did ultimately lose/concede defeat#in both the Hundred Years War and the subsequent Wars of the Roses.#He was also clearly less effective than his predecessor and successor (who unfortunately happened to be his father and usurper respectively#and that comparison will always affect our view of his kingship. It's inevitable and in some sense understandable.#But it's hardly fair to simply accept and parrot the Yorkist narrative of him being a “puppet of a king”.#Henry *did* have agency and he was demonstrably involved in the events around him#From sponsoring alchemists to issuing proclamations to participating in trials against the Yorkists (described in the 1459 attainder)#We also know that he was involved in administration though it seems as though he was being heavily advised/handheld by his councilors#That may be the grain of truth which the Yorkists' image of him was based on.#But regardless of Henry's aptitude he was clearly *involved* in ruling#Just like he was involved in plots against Yorkist rule in the early 1460s before he was captured.#And he did have some successes! For example in 1456 he travelled to Chester and seems to have been responsible#for reconciling Nicholas ap Gruffyd & his sons to the crown and granting them a general pardon.#Bizarrely Ralph Griffiths has credited Margaret for this even though there is literally no evidence that she was involved.#We don't even know if she travelled with Henry and the patent rolls offering the pardon never mention her.#Griffiths seems to have simply assumed that it was Margaret's doing because of 1) his own assumption that she was entirely in control#while Henry was entirely passive and 2) because it (temporarily) worked against Yorkist interests.#It's quite frustrating because this one of the most probable examples we have of Henry's own participation in ruling in the late 1450s#But as usual his involvement is ignored :/#Also all things considered:#The verdict on Henry's kingship may not have been so damning if his rule hadn't been opposed or if the Lancastrians had won the war?#Imo it's doubtful he would be remembered very well (his policies re the HYW and the economic problems of that time were hardly ideal)#but I think it's unlikely that he would have been remembered as a 'failed king' / antithesis of ideal kingship either#Does this make sense? (Henry VI experts please chime in because I am decidedly not one lol)

Really nervous about this team lead promotion LOL. Yes I spend all this time on here bitching about my job but this promotion would be SO NICE and I am worried I am not """qualified enough""" for it. Like I KNOW I could be really good at the job if they gave me a chance but some people who applied are really good employees 😭😭😭
#its not that im a BAD employee#my boss just knows and understands that we BOTH do not dream of this kind of labor#we literally just discussed the other day how in an ideal world with UBI she would be a barista again and I would make clothes and jewelry#and just make stuff for myself my partner and our friends and have fun with it#mine#tales from target

what i really want to know is what do you mean you don't like acid rock, taylor? what bands are you talking about when you say that? what do you mean? please don't tell me you dislike jimi hendrix taylor
#taylor swift#1989 (taylor's version)#acid rock isn't a genre i would die on any hill for#like i'm really not partial to it#but i've also never in my life pretended to like anything not even for a crush (because i'm opinionated to my core)#so i find the idea that taylor swift might have theoretically been out in the world#pretending to like all along the watchtower#to impress a boyTM#absolutely fucking wild#(like it's on brand we love her but it's on brand)#(i suspect swifties are probably not the ideal target audience for this post#just based on how everyone i talked to at opening night of the eras tour practically sneered at paramore)

i think i gotta pl;ay fallout 4 ..
#YAPPING this morninh#i tried watching the show i DIDNT LIKE IT. i would rather play the games#in middle school i tried fallout3 but i never felt incentivized to explore the world after getting out of the vault .#i think beth esda games are just like that though idk. ive been playing wolfing stein 2 (2017) and it feels like. beth esda uncharted#i think its just bc its an action adventure and you have like a little team and so far it hasnt been open world the way it was advertised#but ive been getting into the lore of the world in falloiut and im really enjoying it so maybe my game tastes have changed idk its worth a#shot :D i watched this video abt ghoul being an embodiment of the mythologized wild west genre in american pop culture history and how#pervasive a fantasy like that is. the continuation of manifest destiny and rooted in white supremacy yk. but also through the fallout lens#of 'Look at this idealized nuclear family/ american dream and look who it excludes look how it fails' and its really making me wanna try#playing again. i think one of my biggest flaws that i hate is that i cannot tolerate playing old games that are ugly in retrospect .... i#just cant.... i cant play the first red dead its too ugly im sorry... but i WILL research the lore and stuff#anyway thats why i think ill try 4. im just worried i wont like it bc you know.. i like platform action adventures.. not corny shit like#uncharted but idk maybe its an antiquated way of designing games but i like levels i like being given a campaign. i think my favorite way a#game works is like the way red dead does it. the story progresses but you can also explore on your own time. and the world changes as the#story progresses. idk i think i just maybe am not the target audience for any bethesda game LMFAO. anyway if anyone wants to give some#wise words regarding this Advice opinions etc feel free to send asks leave replies dm me :D

i so badly want a rework/rebalance for the coli... i dont care that scratch + eliminate is overpowered, i hate that everything else is so woefully useless. like please, make magic users and the elemental abilities actually useable... every time im in the coli i just find it so dreadfully boring
#flight rising#like my ideal update would be pvp + rebalancing/general buffs to abilites + more of those cute custom stones like empathetic regeneration#also dear god anticipation is so incredibly useless i feel bad for dragons who get it as a starting ability#like add an additional effect where it makes dragons using it more likely to be targeted or something#so the effect actually activates...

this points to why i think framing boycotts as personal responsibility is so ineffective. it’s an irrelevant and counterproductive lens through which to approach boycotts, which are inherently not an individual strategy
Please stop seeing politics as an identity and start seeing it as a collective means for change
#this is also why boycotts MUST be organized#as post says#also frankly an organized boycott is inherently a targeted boycott with narrow scope#that’s personal opinion but in my experience mobilizing people to action#requires a precise action#not to say there aren’t many orgs etc that one would WANT to boycott#but just imo it works better to have limited scope#I think you also build credibility for your boycott that way#other orgs you target would ideally give in faster if first action was successful

Special kind of brainrot forming where I yearn to put Hector and Isaac into the Dema/Trench story. Their bishop would be Sacarver.
#serial speaks#twenty one pilots lore would honestly suit them I think#Isaac especially would be fun to play with in a society where self destruction is idealized above all else#and hectors defection is basically a match made in heaven with what’s going on in trench with the banditos#not sure how seizing would factor in#I think Hector could definitely get favour from the neds since he’s good with animals#but seizing is something that figureheads like the bishops and Clancy do#and the forgeboys are followers not leaders#wait wait wait#Isaac would hate keons#even before his betrayal#but once he dies maybe Isaac could try to take his place#I know in the story Clancy is being targeted as the ninth bishop but we’re having fun here

can we stop with April Fools forever
#least favourite holiday period#it's just a day I have to be more on edge for#a day where the world feels more malicious#because it becomes okay and normal to do aggressive pranks to people who you don't know#and that just reads as rude#not to mention tumblr doing this fuckass boop thing#im generally not a fan of holidays -#ideally I would prefer it if every day of the year was basically the same as the rest -#but april fools isn't even a fun time in the moment#it's a thing I just sort of dread#im generally not a pranksterish person myself either#they just all feel dickish and I know I wouldn't like to be the target of them#like haha be a dick to your friends we can all laugh about it lol#but it just feels like...I would spend the rest of the day feeling shitty in either position#idk maybe some people like it but personally I would like it if xi jinping liberated me from April fools#with his dongfeng fighter missles#amen.

What I'm about to say is going to sound absolutely fucking insane but I need someone to hear me out on this one and unfortunately you are that person. Delete this if you want but I need someone to know what was revealed to me via divine intervention. This is gonna be a long one
I, as a cis boy, think the optimal strategy is to transition into a femme-presenting trans man or a lesboy or whatever you want to call it.
Now, you may be thinking, "what the fuck????" That's fair. I'm gonna try and break it down for you anyway.
I don't see anything wrong with being a boy. I'm fine as it is. However, I think being a girl could potentially be neat. So I transition into a girl, get estrogen and bottom surgery and whatnot, and bada-bing, bada-boom.
However, I can already convincingly pass as a girl. My voice is pretty androgynous and I have what some would consider a feminine build. Narrow shoulders, long hair, the works. I could still easily go by he/him even if I took estrogen because I'm already pretty androgynous.
"Why transition in the first place?" you might be asking, and I have a very simple reason for this. I want to be a lesbian. I literally cannot picture myself to be intimate with a woman as a man, and I've learned a lot about dating women from the best: lesbians. I want to follow in their footsteps and idolize women in sapphic doodles like the many lesbians before me. I also think I'm overdue for a much-needed hardware update.
Now, why would I still want to pass as a man? Well, as much as I love boobs, I don't think they suit me. Maybe a little bit, but I don't want em too big, y'know? It would also make most social interactions unchanged. I'm still just some guy. I like that energy about me. Also I got some pretty conservative family members. As long as they aren't trying to pull down my pants, I'd still be the same person to them. I'd still be the same person to me, too. I also wouldn't have to change clothes. I already wear what some might mistake for a dysphoria hoodie because it's a pretty thick and large jacket. But I am not giving up those pockets for shit. Also I don't think my skull shape passes too well? It kinda does but in an uncanny valley kinda way. My face can pass but I'm not 100% on the skull.
And, even if I transition, I can still be forcefemmed, but now with so many different layers. I'd still have that femmable egg energy. I could make the detrans kink gender-affirming. I'm still a boymoding trans girl, which is like one of the prime targets from what I've gathered (mainly from this blog). There's so many layers to it, so many things that could be done. I'm starting to think this section is a little too horny for this blog. I can't really tell.
I have contemplated this for roughly six hours and this is what I have. This solution satisfies all the conflicting ideals I have about being trans. I don't think it'd fix transphobia or anything, but I'd probably end up meeting one bigot who thinks I'm trans anyway so I might as well, eh?
Well, I guess I do still have a few problems, such as actually having to care about my looks, the expenses, shaving, ect. But other than that I'd say it's pretty airtight. This might be the new meta
Eggs are inventing new ways to be eggs in my dms I see
