in honour of the fated silksong release ⚔️

[couchycosmos]

Here it is!!! I’m so happy it’s done and just is time for Silksong!

Ended up being a culmination of 50 hours (roughly) over five months, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with how it turned out. I hope you guys like it too and the wait was worth it!

There are progress pics below if you’re interested!

from my non-gamer pov (I'm an #ally), what this has looked like is a critical mass of maddened and delirious silksong posting for the past ~week that built to a sustained frenzied climax for about ninety minutes either side of the game's actual release, at which point everyone went absolutely dead fucking radio silent. I have not heard a single peep from any of you about what is happening in this game. no liveblogging, no screenshots, no reactions, nothing. my girlfriend emerges from her room every five-to-eight hours to intone "I've been skonging it too hard," grab a morsel of food, and withdraw to her chambers once more. Is everyone okay Are you having fun Is the silksong loud and beautiful and are you so very afraid.

I would love to see a fantasy novel where the lore that the reader / protagonist learns at first is not true

“go early, it’s hard to find parking” you want public transit. “don’t go on weekends, traffic is terrible” you want public transit. “once i parked i had to walk half a mile to the entrance” you want public transit. “it took me an hour to get out of the area after the concert” you want public transit. “ugh somebody needs to DD” you want public transit. “can you drive? my car won’t start” you want public transit. you want public transit. you want public transit. you want public transit.

If you interrogate trans discourse a bit, you quickly find that a surprising number of people who should know better have a bad understanding of what "cis" means.

See, if you read between the lines, a lot of people parse "cis woman" as "woman who is biologically female".

What's the issue with this? Well, think about it. "Biologically female" is a fuzzy concept, you know this because of the memes where they epicly own the terfs by pointing out that attempting to nail down a clear definition leads to failure points such as excluding post-menopausal women, or infertile women, or any variety of obvious women depending on the "clever" new definition of "biological female" being deployed.

This is a problem that we've already resolved. Recall the acronym "AFAB", which colloquially means "biologically female" because precise terminology is doomed forever. It stands for "assigned female at birth", which if you scrutinize the word choice a bit, has some interesting choices:

"Assigned": This word implies that the process described is not, in fact, a naturalistic or automatic process. Assignments are typically performed by someone who holds power in a hierarchial structure, on a subject of lower standing in the hierachy.

"At birth": This word choice describes that the assignment is a one-time event, rather than an empirical quality of the individual.

From this, we can infer that the "female" being assigned here is in fact a socially constructed categorization, and implicitly, the same thing applies to the "AMAB" acronym.

What does this mean, in practice? It means that a baby will be provided with one of these assignments at birth. The assignment will be recorded and enforced systemically, and perceived deviations from the assignment have, in general, been pathologized because the assignment is prescriptive rather than descriptive.

Now, what is a cis person?

A cis person, at the most basic level, is someone who complies with the assignment.

Cisnormativity is the social mechanism coercing you to comply with the assignment, demanding justification for any act that deviates from that assignment, whether that's refusing "corrective" procedures for an intersex person, or transitioning.

It's not really about biology. It's about what society expects from you.

do we think silksong came out

[couchycosmos]

people will see a fictional guy who hates himself and hates everything associated with being a man and who has denied himself every pleasure in life and whose character arc is all about feeling trapped and stuck in a role he doesn't want but doesn't realize yet he can break free of and who isn't given autonomy to make his own decisions (either by himself or by others), and then headcanon them as transmasc instead of transfem
