#......lets just say i dont want a repeat

Alright so if I may ask. If you were offered to be a writer on Hazbin/Helluva would you take it?

If Viv was still on the project no. She changed a script without informing the main writer of the episode, she has ghost writers / doesn't give credit to people who gave her ideas or wrote out portions of a script, and her scripts would probably have 40+ comments and fix suggestions on my behalf that she would be very upset with and probably ignore. We'd probably fight over the storyline for several hours without getting anywhere. It would be a production hell standstill where I couldn't contribute anything.

If it's okay with you, could you write a drabble about the hypothetical aftermath of Amane getting attacked by Kotoko?

Welp thank you pal for making me absolutely insane with this request 👍 I ran through a few hypotheticals and realized I had to shift some things around since there were so many absolutely tragic outcomes. I worked something out but damn if it didn’t make me emotional to think about how uniquely rough Amane has it. Even making sure she's in a good place at the end, this got pretty serious, so warnings for child abuse and cult references. 

(So in canon, Kotoko goes in order and attacks Fuuta, but Kazui steps in. Then she attacks Mahiru while he’s distracted with his injuries. She’s about to attack Amane, but Mikoto gets in the way (my hc that he did it on purpose survives!). By the time they reach a draw, Kazui is back, and the two of them can prevent Kotoko from any further action against Amane. Sticking to this apparent system of three attacks and one rescue, I’m just shuffling around the injuries for this story. Fuuta’s attack went unnoticed, and he’s in the same state as canon Mahiru. Mikoto steps in before Kotoko can fight Mahiru, so Mappi’s the one who get out physically unscathed. While Mikoto checks on Mahiru, recovers himself, or discovers Fuuta, Kotoko is able to attack Amane next. Kazui comes to help, but not before she leaves Amane looking like canon Fuuta.)

Mahiru could practically feel her heart shatter into a million pieces when Amane finally cried in front of her. She hadn’t shed a single tear yesterday – it was the shock, Shidou said. Mahiru was skeptical. After all, she had been shocked, too, and cried plenty.

Amane woke as she came in with breakfast. She took a moment to survey herself, bandages peeking out from beneath her pajamas and an eyepatch securely over her right eye. As calmly as one might say “good morning,” she started to cry. Mahiru might have missed it, if Amane hadn’t wiped at her good eye with her sleeve.

“Oh, sweetheart…!” Mahiru rushed over to her. “It’s okay, I’m here.” She wanted nothing more than to wrap the girl in a secure embrace, but she remembered the mass of bandages that were around her chest. Shidou had mentioned broken ribs and bruises. It took everything in her not to cry along with Amane, at the thought.

“I can get you another ice pack, if you need. Or more medicine.” Her mind spun with ways to help with pain. Many of the first aid supplies had been used to keep Fuuta from the brink of death, but surely there were extras to spare for Amane. 

The girl just shook her head. 

She muttered, “I can’t… I…I’m going to be punished, I’m going to be punished…”

“No! You’re safe now.” Mahiru placed her hands gently on Amane’s arms. “Kotoko’s not coming back. We’re all watching over you. You’re safe. She’s not going to hurt you anymore.” 

“That’s not…” Amane pulled away. Her voice stayed level, despite hiccups interrupting her. A hand reached up to her eyepatch. “It’s this. It’s all of this. It’s sinful. I took it off last night, but he must have…” She started unwrapping it. “They’re going to punish me...” 

With a careful motion, Mahiru held it in place and took Amane’s hands into her own. She’d been picking up on the signs ever since they arrived here together, and a final wave of understanding washed over her. 

“I can’t let you do that.”

Amane’s expression twisted, though words came out far more frantic than fiery. “Let me go.” 

Mahiru didn’t. “I’m sorry. Amane, you need this treatment.”

“That is not your decision to make. That is not any human’s decision to make.”

Mahiru pressed her lips together. “I know. But I can’t watch as you… I can’t sit by again while someone…” She was careful not to apply any pressure, but she could no longer fight the urge to gather Amane up in her arms. “You don’t need to be afraid of those people, anymore.”

“I’m not afraid.” Amane hiccuped. “They love me, and I love them. I need to be good for them.”

“I love you, and I don’t want to see you in pain.”

“You just pity me because I’m young.”

“Why does your age matter? You are a lovely young woman – you are my friend – and I can’t bear to see you in pain.”

The two sat in silence for a moment. Mahiru doubted she would take that as an answer; Amane had refused to call any of the others her friend. At least she didn’t argue. In fact, it seemed she was leaning into the embrace a bit more. She sighed a shaky breath into Mahiru’s uniform.

“Listen, Amane. Can you do me a favor? I’m trying to be a good girl, too. To make up for something awful, I need to make sure you’re alright. Can you help me? Can we be good together?”

A long pause followed. Amane’s voice spoke up, ever so gently.

“I suppose I can consider it.” She added quickly, “for the sake of your redemption. Of course.”

“Of course.”

IVE MADE AN IMPORTANT (maybe late but idc) DISCOVERY

THE BEST QUEER STUFF THAT IVE EVER WATCHED/READ ARE THE ONES THAT JUST

DONT GIVE HOMOPHOBIA/TRANSPHOBIA A CHANCE

Let me explain

I love real queer stories ok? I love when they portray a queer character finding a real family or dealing with stuff I've dealt with. I feel represented and it's cathartic

With that in mind, let me tell you something: there's more than that in the life of a queer person. With time most stories turn into "I'm gay but what if people judge me/ I'm trans but what if people judge me for it". It makes sense for writers to do this don't get me wrong. It's a real thing and it makes people connect with the characters.

HOWEVER there's stories that say "homophobia? Never heard of her" and they don't mean it in a "this issue isn't real in real life so why would it be here" way. They mean it in a "everyone has moved from that in this world and we have other issues at hand" way. Moving the whole "people judge gay people" thing aside just gives the story more....freedom. The characters can still have issues in their world but there's just more space to discuss other things.

I'm gonna present 2 examples without spoilers.

Example 1 - Signalis:

The signalis creators mentioned a while ago that they agreed homophobia would not exist in their universe and that absolutely works wonders. We have cool lesbians in space and if [redacted] had a whole "I like a girl but....I'm a girl?" Other parts of her past would be weakened. [Redacted] is still othered by her peers but those reasons are more related to her personality, which gives context to the player and it makes it really rewarding when the player sees the little lesbian be happy with [redacted 2]. The couple is still fucked over by their government and their world but in a bigger way than "no girl kissing allowed". I actually loved to see them just vibing in space, loving each other and the little things they are criticized for in their world.

Example 2 - our flag means death:

Everyone is queer. The world of pirates is a strict one but they are dealing with so many stuff (class, racism, emotional intelligence, the britiah army) that gayness and gender are the smallest of their problems. Like their lives are in danger 24/7, who cares that those 2 guys over there are fucking? This one pirate could kill us all in a matter of seconds, who we are to not call them by their chosen name? And just like in Signalis, they are still oppressed in other ways but in the vastness of the sea they have freedom to love and isn't that neat?

This is cool for all the reasons I've said but also because it just doesn't dignify homophobes/transphobes and their presence. Their argument is stupid and dull and unreal so why pretend they have a good argument to start a discussion?

What I want to say is that queer stories don't necessarily need to touch on homophobia and transphobia to be relatable, real and good :3

emotional support group for autistics who got called condescending and rude as kids just for responding to things directly and still not knowing how they were being mean

[autism-corner]

i actually love that obey me doesnt have strict rules or a heavy plot. i love the freedom and creativity that comes with a game like this, where you can create the entire world for yourself.

with just a few guidelines, this game actually makes me create my own stories about their background, standards, lesser habits, and that makes it unique for everyone!!
