People don’t realize how much we sound like other things because we are created from the same laws of physics. “That potato in the microwave sounds like it’s screaming” is funny because it really is, air is vibrating out of a small hole which is how our throat works too. The babbling river that sounds like humans whispering, that’s because it’s a wet hollow cave with echo delivering the same functionality. The river doesn’t just sound like us, we sound like a river. They use a metal trashcan to create a lion’s roar for movie sound effects. But the truth is, not only does a trashcan sound like a lion, a lion sounds like a trashcan. Cars purr when you turn them on. Everything is like everything else. Inanimate objects are not so far away from life as it seems.

Remember the next time you feel more alone in the company of large buildings, or maybe less alone among the rocks of the river, that they are not completely unlike the parts of you.

did i miss something? is ralsei actually canonically transfem? (i really want this to be true)

this is, in part, what i mean — technically Ralsei isn’t “canonically” anything because it hasn’t been stated anywhere explicitly.

….but if you try and equip the mannequin onto Ralsei, this happens:

which y'know is pretty transfem in and of itself, he obviously wants to wear this dress, but this is the mannequin and the dress in question.

if it looks familiar to you, that's because it's already been worn by two other people in Undertale, both of them trans, both of them transitioning some way across the story - Mettaton & the Lioness who he inspires to come out

in other words, this dress is, in Undertale/Deltarune, a symbol of positive gender expression for trans people. you can see the Lioness much much unhappier in masculine clothing and even though she doesn't keep the dress itself in the crossover to Deltarune (that's left on the mannequin for Ralsei to sigh wistfully over) she's still out the closet & happier

so no Ralsei is not ""canonically"" transfem (yet) but... it's pretty obvious! Ralsei doesn't strike me as somebody who's particularly happy with his assigned role, and here we see him getting flustered by the prospect of a dress that represents being confident in one's gender expression. the only reason the wider fandom hasn't put 2+2 together on this one is for the same reason Guilty Gear fans shut down trans Bridget until it was undeniable, and the same reason Homestuck fans DO keep shutting down June even though it IS undeniable -- people hate trans women, and demand an astronomical amount of evidence before a transfeminine reading of a character is considered legitimate.

when me and my boyfriend make meals we have a tradition of sending each other unappetising off-centre photographs of them in poor lighting. we call this "wikipedia food".

i like when you watch a video essay from 5+ years ago and they make a joke/apologize for how long the video is and the runtime is like. 35 minutes. when we now live in an era of 3 hour intricate breakdowns of bad kids shows being everywhere.

they should invent a bus that never gets stuck in traffic because it's on its own path separated from the roads. and then chain multiple of them together and put it on rails. has anyone had this idea before.

I continue to run into people that are confused as to why Americans have screens on our windows and it’s really quite simple.

still thinking about that r/hypotheticalsituation post where someone was like "what if a potato chip spawned somewhere randomly in the world. and every hour the number of potato chips at that location would double. and the only way to get rid of them for good would be to eat all of the potato chips before they doubled again." and someone calculated that it would only take like, 48 hours of people ignoring a weird pile of potato chips before an absolutely irreconcilable number of potato chips was blanketing a city.

and then people were like "no wait if it spawns randomly in the world, it's highly likely it would be in an ocean" and then people were debating whether there were enough small fish swimming at the surface in the open ocean that would be able to eat a potato chip and thus save humanity from the potato chip apocalypse.
