#But that'd be a separate post

I know not everyone has read Hunger in Tevinter Nights, but I like it because Evka and Antoine are there, so maybe I should do a post listing notable points about them in it, especially since it's a story introducing them to the series and is early in their relationship, with a freshly Joined Antoine, and it involves the werewolf episode mentioned multiple times in Veilguard

my usual resistance to areas of my life bleeding over, and need for compartments and secrets, seems much lower than usual. I think it's probably temporary. but for instance at this moment I have no particular aversion to linking my tumblr to irl identities, except a pragmatic desire to retain places to talk about people without identifying them, lol

sometimes I think abt the rpf layers of boy king au which are just like:

To me, it cannot be separated from either....

just learned about sonic dating princess sally and them having kids in the archie comics when they were both like, in their forties. absolutely devastated by this information.

like i do imagine many of the sonic characters to be in their twenties because i want 2 relate 2 them, but on god, forties? do they have low back pain now? does sonic have knee pain, from all the running? does tails own a house now? does he have mortgage payments? what kinds of taxes does everyone have to file? have the chaotix been arrested for tax evasion or have they managed to avoid law enforcement thus far? do they even have income tax in mobius?

is eggman dead?

so many questions

well i guess the table fiasco is a sign from above for me to stick to my outline and wrap this project up before it'll frustrate me &/or explodes right into my face.

It's actually really funny how it is bc despite being an insane person with weird kinks whenever I see someone with kinks I DON'T share I'm instantly thrown off by it. Which is comedic to me bc you'd expect the freak to inherently Understand other freaks but no unfortunately that's not how it works necessarily.

Random Mutant Stuff- As expected from a smol, young mutants tend to struggle with figuring out how to work their powers. This varies of course, from kid to kid and from mutation to mutation. A kid may not have proper powers, their mutation may be purely in form and function, and they'll probably catch on at about the same rate a non-mutant kid would. Kids with full-on powers? It can take a while. In a healthy environment it can take a kid well into elementary school to get a full grasp on their powers and how to properly control them. And in some cases they may never gain full control- something more commonly seen in forms of psychic power like pre/postcognition , aura reading, shit like that. Especially since some have multiple different mutations, or mutations that present in multiple ways, it can be a lot.

However things end up, regular practice with their powers is important to the physical and mental health of not only mutants but the people around them. Unfortunately, in the West, this plays a part in why there are so many problems going on with mutants. A sort of feedback loop has developed where children are discouraged from practicing with their powers because using them when you don't have full control is Bad, as evidenced by damage caused when some or another other mutant, who also was discouraged from practicing with their powers, used them and things went Badly. As a result of this, mutant kids raised in non-mutant homes can take into their teens or even into adulthood to gain full understanding and maximum control of their powerset. As one might guess, this isn't healthy for anybody, especially when the kids are old enough to be getting some power behind them, but too young to be practicing safely on their own.

Doubly especially when you take into account the Western insistence that a mutant's moral fiber is based entirely on their using their powers to fit as close to the 'hero' paradigm as possible, which you may notice as being in opposition to the insistence that one not use their powers if they can't control them. How, pray tell, does one use their powers 'for good' when they're actively discouraged from learning how to use them at all, and a slip-up with these unpracticed powers risks getting you classed as a bad person?

These aren't universal problems, on Earth and in the galaxy. More community-focused cultures tend to have fewer problems as parents and children both get more support. Cultures with more positive or neutral opinions on mutants tend to have fewer problems, as children grow up with less trauma and more options in life. Areas with more opportunity for individuals to safely engage with their powers tend to have fewer problems, as greater understanding and control lead to higher confidence and few accidents.

It's mostly the last two that activists in the West tend to focus on improving. In pursuit of the latter, pro-mutant groups and charities continue to work on making safe locations for practice with one's powers available, often in the form of properties set-up specifically to allow a full range of power usage in a safe and controlled environment. You'll also see mutant-focused schools, often boarding schools of up to a few thousand students, dedicated to allowing a safe place to learn both general facets of education and one's own powerset in, again, a safe and controlled environment, while also lowering exposure to anti-mutant prejudice in hopes of minimizing resultant trauma and it's ongoing aftereffects.

While these locations are geared primarily towards individuals- especially children- born with their powers, there is a strong push to get those who acquire their mutations later in life to engage with them as well. Activists and experts consider them to be their own subgroup especially vulnerable to the negative effects of Western society's views on mutants, especially as far as children and teenagers are concerned.

The goals there aren't only for the sake of these individuals, but also for their children. The mutant children of those who acquired their mutations later in life are more likely to be isolated from their community, more likely to suffer from mental health problems, and more likely to have internalized prejudices against mutants than mutant children of those born with their mutations, as a result of prejudices their parents learned before acquiring their powers and never unlearned.

i swear to god, i'm gonna type up such an extensive page for the apocalypse verse. i feel better, all i want to do is wax poetics about little mage pete

also thinking about how any group he walks away from, good or bad, he's actually doing a favour. because if he stays with y'all? you'll have a cult on your hands.

Eggman is to the residents of Station Square what Mario is to the residents of New Donk City.

I've had this thought for a while but only just realized I have a tumblr now so I can actually get that thought to reach ppl who'll share my level of madness.

So Sonic yeah? Pretty much the entire main cast are all anthropomorphic animals, excluding Eggman and his family tree. Across adaptations of Sonic, there's not a lot of consistency on what the general population outside of Sonic and the Gang are composed of. In shows like Boom, Prime, and the IDW comics, it's almost entirely animals, and Eggman's the odd one out:

But in other versions, where there are humans, Eggman still sticks out like a sore thumb:

It's also worth noting that in some Sonic games, there are regular, non-anthropomorphic animals in addition to anthropomorphic versions

(Yes, Vector is a crocodile not an alligator, but they're close enough taxonomically to be significant. You can't convince me that the difference between alligators and crocodiles in this universe is that one swims in freshwater and the other has bills to pay)

So here's my theory: there's cartoonish, anthropomorphic versions and realistic, non-anthropomorphic versions of the animals, right? So why wouldn't this extend to humans? After all, they're mammals just like hedgehogs and foxes are. AND THAT'S WHAT EGGMAN IS. He's an anthropomorphic animal like Sonic, it just happens to be that the animal he's based on is a human.

Eggman is an anthropomorphic human. He's human squared.

Thank you

Does anyone know what's happening with the for you page on here? Is it just me? It keeps only displaying anywhere between zero and eight posts at a time, after that it just stops, I can't scroll any further. It's a pretty recent issue, and it wasn't like this before. It's the same issue on both my computer and having it open on my browser on my phone, I've tried turning my ad blocker on and off to see if that was the problem, and idk what else to do. Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone got solutions? Any tips would be much appreciated.
