only reblogging because i'm pretty sure this is part of a blaise pascal quote:

'the heart has its reasons, for which reason knows not / we feel it in a thousand things'

The Heart has Its Reasons, Tracey Emin

I dont really care if you use the term bisexual or pansexual, but what i DO care about is that you understand that bisexuality at NO stage in history was EVER trans-exclusionary. Bisexuality has always included trans folks, and non-binary folks, and the entire spectrum of gender between male and female, as well as Definitively Gender and agender. It has ALWAYS meant "attraction to more than one gender." It has NEVER meant "attraction to cis men and women only."

So, pan, bi, use whichever label you will. But do NOT buy into the recent-years innacurate concept that bisexuality is attraction to cis men and women only, because thats literally never been the case.

this is such a good fucking take on the difference of the games.

in a series that dwells upon the concept of 'living forever is a curse' - the way that's explained & shown to you is different every time.

it's a little hard to gauge how old the death is that you find in Demon's Souls, but it's widespread & clearly everyone knows about it. things are not what they once were. creatures are now monsters; people are now phantoms - everything is twisted w/ the curse of the fog.

but Dark Souls...! - Dark Souls is where things get c r u n c h y. Dark Souls is very clearly painting a picture of old, ancient, eternal death. everything has already died once or more; everyone is hollow or on their way there. everything is bleak & everything has been that way for a very, very long time. rolling through areas is always so 'crispy' - there is green grass & new life but nothing is fresh - everything has seen its prime many years ago, & now appears like a pressed flower, decayed & fragile, only a remnant of its former existence.

[i will exclude Dark Souls II simply because it deals w/ concepts of time travel, & has an incongruent & convoluted storyline in comparison to the point this post is trying to make.]

Dark Souls III returns to show the world of Dark Souls I but even further gone, even dryer & even more dead & twisted than before. lots of time has passed; things still exist but are losing their shape, their sense of purpose...there is no warmth or bright colors, no new life or foliage. things cannot & should not continue the way that they are; the ages must end. fire must cleanse.

...& then we have Bloodborne, where - as opposed to being launched into an unfamiliar, desperate world some arbitrary time in its history of death - you're birthed directly into the fray, unguided. blood caused the scourge, & blood is what defines the creature; you heal yourself w/ blood, & blood rain pours from the sky after successful boss encounters. characters joke about your existence being trivial as they hide indoors having parties. there is fear in the hearts of those that want to keep on living; there is grief in those that know enough to understand nothing can return to how it once was...

this is a world trying, desperately, to hold on & keep living. you, a newlywed hunter on honeymoon w/ your preying grounds, are simply an interloper - the wolf interrupting the soirée.

& what else would your still-living, still-breathing, still-fresh prey be, when torn into w/ your many teeth, your bonesaws & your knives...

...other than bloody, gory, & wet.

Bloodborne is just Dark Souls but wet

Nonbinary people can wear dresses and still be nonbinary. It doesn’t matter if they’re afab or amab, they’re still valid as a nonbinary person. As long as they’re comfortable, that’s all that matters ✨

We talk a lot about how it’s okay to identify as nonbinary, only to later find out that binary trans suits you best. Which is great!

But it’s also okay to identify as nonbinary and later find out that your agab suits you best.

You’re allowed to question, and you’re allowed to realize you’re cis. You aren’t a “trender” or faking. You were questioning and found the answer. That’s okay.
