It's not even about the vindication of calling a ship, okay. It's that the supposedly anti woke studio wrote about 3 million words of medieval fiction centering the relationship of the two main characters who are in most ways (or in all ways if you follow the obvious canon momentum of the story) meant for each other, as counterparts who help each other survive the great travails of their lives and who challenge/complete the other to become fuller, braver, kinder people. It's so clear these two people are soulmates, platonically or romantically, something observed consistently by the world around them and by themselves.

Except their society (feudalism, Catholicism) dictates that they are intended to be completely incompatible by nature and divine law. Not just for the obvious fact they are both men, but they are separated by what is arguably an even steeper chasm of social class. Their existence even as friends utterly spites, interrupts, and threatens feudal order right down to its theological and philosophical roots. They should not see each other as human and yet.

It's the fact that they do. The fact that the entire story has been about this--that these two protagonists fit together, undeniably, and grow to love each other fiercely (a love that deepens superbly from their knee-jerk playful puppy-friend-love in kcd1 to something selfless and mature by the end of kcd2). And they do so despite the immense opposition by their world, their social circles, their faith, and indeed their fandom.

And yes, it really does fucking matter that all of this culminates into a deep onscreen romantic love (if you get out of the way and allow it to) between two fandom-beloved male main characters (not just side characters rammed in for an optional gay romance but THE main characters of the duology; the "you" as in the player character and your erstwhile dick-jokes bro you have perhaps grudgingly at first been invited as the audience to love) in a historical fiction story that has been wrongly touted by the worst of our contemporaries as the holy grail of cultural conservatism.

Holy shit. Warhorse -- y'all. I'm sorry I doubted you. So few game writers understand how love works and indeed how people work, let alone translate it so well onto the screen.

Calling this an "optional romance" is not technically incorrect, I suppose, because it's true you can opt out and choose to remain platonic friends. But this language feels like a disservice, as if Henry & Hans's romance is a typical RPG wham-bam fanservice makeout with a minor fan fave character who never interacts meaningfully with the player again. Or as if it's a Bioware-style "give this NPC the right gift and do their side quest and you get to see a jankly ugly-bumpin' montage" situation.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance is so very much not that. The "main, optional" romance scene in question is just one consummation event of two people who have been growing up and falling in love in front of us over the course of some 200-300 (or god knows how many) hours. The fact these protagonists openly love each other is very much not optional.

This is, sincerely, groundbreaking storytelling in this medium and this genre. How fucking cool that we all got to see it now.

today i volunteered at a local fiber fest and held a Slightly-Embroidered Sheep Pin Activity and touched a real sheep after that

i totally forgot children existed when designing the activity but I've remembered them now and they are just so neat. however their works are not pictured because they are also so so fast. not fast at sewing fast at leaving

Wait timmy isnt allowed in the human world, is hazels wish gonna cause him trouble?

Hrmm! Who’s to say? Timmy’s certainly displeased to hear about her discovering such a loophole!

Or maybe he’s just annoyed. I would be too if I discovered there was more work for me once I got back to my office.

Honestly pissed off at people going “Iskall and Stress didn’t have much presence on the server anyway, I only watch the ✨Mountain✨ people, those two barely appear” why don’t you shut the fuck up. Literally shut the fuck up. It’s giving the vibes of “well at least not MY hermit!1!!1!2!2!1”. It’s just a really weird and irrelevant thing to say in public when ex-fans are disappointed and hurt. Worse when people immediately jump to “ooooh who will the hermits replace them with” like it’s purely a transactional/numbers game when it’s clearly not how HC works. Like the hermits aren’t dealing with a stressful and upsetting situation.

i cant believe that robert jordan like. predicted every high fantasy trope that would develop over the next 30 years and subverted them in advance. what the fuck was this guy on

hi guys say hi back

[maythedreadwolftakeyou]

putting fabric through the printer still feels illegal every time i do it. but! nothing jammed so another success :)

my plan for my Lucanis design was always to do it large scale—this will be for an 8inch display hoop. The little 3.5-inch hoop I finished in January will be my color guide for this one, and I’ll be using the same assortment of silk, cotton, metallic, sparkly, and hand-dyed threads to get the final look :) it should look a lot neater at bigger scale too (and with more care/precision than I spent on the small one lol).

How Joker Out, omegaverse and a gay romance book got me a girlfriend

So this is maybe the weirdest way anyone has met their partner but it is so very me I thought you guys might enjoy the story.

So I officially have a girlfriend! @guggi04 who is the biggest sweetheart ever which you know if you've ever interacted with them or had them comment on a fic of yours 😘🥰

We met through a gift exchange for the Käärijä fandom where I wrote them omegaverse KHäärijä smut (as you do. Perfectly normal fandom stuff). From there we began to talk more and more until we were talking everyday. Most of it was about Joker Out because we're both obsessed nerds. That was how we bonded and coincidentally by the next year and the next gift exchange they got me and wrote me janjure omegaverse smut (perfectly normal fandom stuff).

Eventually she admitted to having a crush on me and at the time I just saw them as a friend. RIP both of us but the friendship persisted.

And then they recommend a book.

In this book the main character has a crush on their friend and said friend agrees to help out the main character by fucking them (it makes sense in the book okay). Slowly the friend realises they actually do have a crush back and they eventually get together properly.

Turns out I related way too hard to the main character and realised I actually did have a crush on Guggi back.

There was a bit of missed moments and some pining from both of us. I moaned to my friends a lot about not wanting to ruin my friendship with my stupid feelings but eventually we did figure our shit out and now we're very gay to each other.

So thanks Joker Out/käärijä, omegaverse and a romance book for giving me the most fandom like way of ever meeting my partner.

Explain to me the difference between CNC and rape fetishism such that you do not include scenarios that are definitionally forms of rape in your definition of CNC. Quickly, I have hostages.

This piece of official art makes me want to catcall construction workers IRL. Look how the turn tables.

[fractangle]

Finished making this basket today, out of a bunch of discarded lumber-pallet-straps I dumpster-dived from construction sites! I'm gonna fill it with dirt and try growing hot peppers out of it later this year.

similar cinematographic choices to portray the same imagery with insanely different circumstantial contexts

[konakoro]

Had a girl next to me cringing and talking aloud during the movie and it made me have the very sudden realization –

Is Bloodlines really a lot of people's FIRST Final Destination movie? You mean to tell me most people don't know about the tanning bed sequence from 3 or the gymnastics death from 5? YOU PEOPLE DON'T KNOW WHO BLUDWORTH/TONY TODD IS????

In my rewrite of the Mandalorian season 2 finale Din doesn’t send Moff Gideon the threatening anticipatory holocall before he gets there

Gideon receives the call and hears Din’s message, and seconds after that all of the power to the bridge goes out, because Din and his crew are already inside the ship, hunting them in the dark
