Thinking again about how many disabled people end up getting shunted into art/craft work because like. You can technically do it. Sometimes. Yeah you make a pittance at best and are almost certainly going to make your physical health worse by pushing yourself to get things done, but what else are you gonna do? You're too sick for anyone to hire you. You're "not sick enough" to qualify for benefits. Just devote every scrap of time and energy you have to a chronically underpaid, low-prestige, incredibly labor-intensive industry. A few people manage to make it work with luck and help and the right skills. Many people don't. Everyone gets pressured to monetize their hobbies, but it's especially insidious if you're disabled because any tiny thing you manage to accomplish to bring yourself joy gets twisted into proof that you should somehow be able to work.

Pathologic Classic HD’s English translation is really fucking interesting.

Not necessarily because of the translation aspect (which is cool as shit, but I’m too much of a monolingual loser to comment on)- but because it was very clearly written by English people, as noted by the fact that it heavily uses English dialects of the English language (which is pretty distinct- most games made in English, and even more so translated into English, typically use US American English), and that that use of English dialects actually contains so many implications on the characters that are really interesting.

This is mainly because of how social class works in England, namely, that it’s less so economically based, and more cultural based.

In England your class isn’t entirely dictated by your income, but rather your way of living; the shops you go to buy food, the brands you use, the places you hang out, the people you talk to, and yes, the way you speak.

And obviously, Pathologic Classic, a game that is very dialogue heavy, ends up saying a lot about class and character’s relationships to class without actually directly telling you, by dropping hints through the ways that characters speak to one another.

And one character that I find particularly interesting in this regard (namely because there’s so much dialogue you can get from him and all of it tells a very interesting story when complied together), is Daniil Dankovsky, and the fact that, despite his current very middle class position (University graduate at highest level, has a job as a researcher, owns his own research lab) he most likely came from a working class background/family, and I know that because of the way this fucker talks.

And one day, when I’m not saddled with work I’m gonna write the equivalent to an essay on this and no one can stop me.

"But doorkeay doesn't make sense because Michael and Gerard never met in the canon timeline -" Canonically, Gertrude has four different dates of death. The timeline is what you make of it.

You absolute buffoon. You troglodyte. You've been swimming in your Scrooge McDuck money pool so long that whatever fucking brains you had are jammed with coins and its dribbling out of your gaping mouth you dingus. You are the moral equivalent of a leech and have brain capacity smaller than fucking whoville.

Hey bestie love seeing your fic finally being released into the world quick q tho: what’s a no chip AU. Is that something you created yourself? Fanfic of a fanfic? Fandom trend??

I know almost nothing about a star war but am very proud regardless that The Fic you’ve been working on is now ready <3

Seek hello!!! Thanks for being supportive I love you too :)

You know, I said "No Chip AU" in the summary because saying "AU where there are no brain chips" is awkward, "AU where the clones aren't brainwashed" is misleading, and "Everybody Chooses To Be Insanely Evil AU" is both misleading and makes it sound like we're dealing with everyone's evil doppleganger. I realize it makes it seem as if this is a fandom trope. So far as I know, it's not. I haven't read a Clone Wars 2008 fanfic set in the clone wars where the clones murdered the Jedi voluntarily. Who would do that. Teehee.

In a paragraph, in Episode II of the Prequel Trilogy every Jedi is drafted into a war and given millions of identical human men to fight the war, and in Episode III the identical human men were revealed to be A Sith Plot and sleeper assassins when they assassinated all the Jedi. The Clone Wars TV show spent a lot of time humanizing, characterizing, exploring, and hero-ing the clones, to the point where it felt really out of character for any of them to kill their best friends, so it did some retcons and said that they all had an evil brainwashing microchip in their heads that made them kill everybody. Star Wars.

I wrote another fanfic where the war ended early, the clones survived, and Obi-Wan had to struggle with how his best friends and found family betrayed him and murdered everyone he loved. It was fine, but I was basically unsatisfied with it. Because the characters basically had no culpability, and it felt unfair for Obi-Wan to blame them when they technically didn't do anything. He hated his father figure for trying to kill him, but there wasn't a satisfying emotional resolution - because he found out that it wasn't his fault, and he had to shrug and hug him at the end. It wasn't satisfying and didn't feel right.

So I made everyone evil. Because I wanted to actually deal with all of that. In writing you want to do the juiciest and richest possible thing, right!!! But yes it span off me being unsatisfied with some stuff, like all good fanfic. Thanks for asking :)

Even if you get past the fake "quwueer" larpers, the next layer in the circle of hell that is lezzie dating is getting past the butch/femmers OMFGGGG it's literally ALL JUST gender roles and clothes!!!!???? I'm talking the ones way into the 'scene' of it that awkwardly force themselves/others into each box, naval gaze and whinge over whether doing or wearing something disqualifies them from the butch/femme id.... mogai-lite fr. We figured it out in the 2000's ppl labels are for clothes and heckin normies lol
