wis'adels design is in the funniest spot for me where as an outfit I think it sucks and is a complete mess, but also fits w so much in the worst way possible. Still hoping we get her darknights memoir fit for an epoque skin as well though cause its by far her best design.
I had the "come here" Shiningale interaction from Chapter 13 in my head for quiet some time now so take this quick thing I put together I guess. I got to record the OST used in this chapter and I had to sneak it in here hehe
It honestly bothers me the way people talk about Laios and Falin's autism.
Its like, they wanna act like the way they're treated differently is some "pretty privilege" and because she's a girl, but they're actually just ignoring how girls are socialized to be more socially aware, and bottle all of their "weirdness" in.
Falin doesn't have any privilege over Laios for being a cute girl or whatever. She was raised to have to acknowledge how everyone feels about her at all times, she was literally considering a joyless marriage so people wouldn't see her as "weird". post-canon Falin looks so much happier because she is now allowed to do whatever she wants, dress however she wants and go wherever she wants.
You can literally see what im talking about in the way the genderbend short shows how a female Laios would be forced to start a family and looks completely devoid of joy.
Ok, good. You're using her pronouns, and you're doing it consistently. That's... better.
But are you using her adjectives? Her nouns? Do you call her girl, woman, lady, wife, mom, girlfriend, and everything else when it's appropriate? Are you giving her her appropriate context when you're talking to her and about her, or are you just carefully gender neutralizing everything else so that those pronouns stand the fuck out like mad when they happen and make everyone including her feel like you're emphasizing stuff weird?
for all the games that call themselves “souls-like” why is it never reflected in the female character designs. “Our game is unforgiving and has checkpoints” ok now where’s this
Slipping back into my hater habits here i never ever ever want to read another post about how great dungeon meshi is and by that I do just mean the posts that are just like about how great dungeon meshi is. those posts that are like "What makes dunme so powerful is that everyone loves to eat which is why it's so terrifying to go hungry. The terror of starvation is what feeds humanity's inherent love of consuming" that kind of post. maybe people just shouldn't just rhapsodize about dunme because it seems to just always turn into a dense nuclear core of the worst tumblr sentimentality you would've thought even the absolute whitest common denominator would find corny by now. sucks
