Today is Intersex Day of Remembrance, also known as Intersex Solidarity Day, which was first celebrated in 2005 on the initiative of Intersex International. The date coincides with the birthday of Herculine Barbin, a 19th century French intersex figure whose memoirs were later published by Michel Foucault. Today is a day to draw attention to the struggle for intersex rights, whose issues are often overlooked, even within the LGBTIQ+ community.
The violent nature of the socially constructed sex and gender binary is perhaps most clearly exposed in the existence of intersex people. The struggles for both intersex and transgender liberation are deeply interconnected and intertwined. True liberation for queer people isn’t possible without the liberation of intersex people from the forced gender and sex binaries of our society.
The first batch of the Seven Saints: Idore and Kamsell! Translation notes under the cut.
The word for "God of War" is almost always used in quotes or parentheses or otherwise set apart. In dictionaries, it seems to just be a common noun, but in this usage, it seems more like a proper one. I kinda wonder whether it might be a reference to a work of literature or Japanese history, but I had a hard time finding anything on it.
For the caption on the first page, I feel like the jack-of-all-trades description didn't really make a ton of sense, and I kinda have the feeling it might have meant something more like "Kamsell was once a god of war and has now become a jack-of-all-trades character instead." However, to the best of my knowledge, it really was saying that the God of War was the jack-of-all-trades character. Related to the above note, I wonder if there's some connotation I'm missing here.
@themoomoorn replied to your post “Genuine question, not trying to start a fight, why...”:
My favorite TS tidbit where you get the Golden Ending is that if you keep Roland safe, then the ideal goal is to not set poor Avlora on fire with Wolffort's fire traps, as that would be reprehensible. No, you don't use them there because the right thing to do is to instead use said traps on Exharme and his standing army! 🤦
This Photographer Shows The Before And After Of His Instagram-Worthy Photos
Ibor Edosa Victor, a talented photographer from Nigeria, has over 240K followers on Instagram, and one of the reasons for his popularity is his willingness to show the “behind the scenes” of his photoshoots.
I really like the "masked character who's a bit of a dramatic" Archetype a lot, and Maxwell really fits that imo just with how he speaks and with the vibe a lot of his battle quotes give off. Add that with his dad like kindness and he's just a very nice character to watch and use.
how much I like their design/aesthetics
Most slay man in Norzelia. Like the hat, the mask, the cape, the braid, it's just mmmmmmmm. Sorry princeling, I love you, but your mentor's got the vibes.
Not to mention the vibes added to his design when you consider his Dawnspear title. Like yeah man I 100% believe he earned that name because holy cow 😳
how interesting I think they are
Even if he doesn't get as much screen time and mainstory focus as he deserves, I still think he's really interesting from his part in his character stories as well as his involvement up until chapter 7.
Especially his second character story. Like my good sir why do you know so much about these inner corrupt dealings of the royal family. Like I have a feeling you probably shouldn't have privy to that sort of information and also how much more do you know?
Also like, his convo with Idore during the Golden Route, like, sir!? Like I get maybe Idore's twisting somethings but I've questions nonetheless
how well-written I think they are
Overall I think he's is, with really only one minor complaint that he should have been a main story recruit instead of a conviction one. Please let Maxwell and Roland talk to each other, I think the latter really needs that
(if applicable) how much I like their mechanics in-game
I like how maneuverable he is, it makes him really good for getting into position for follow-up attacks or to trigger follow-up attacks. And High Jump, albiet expensive, feels so cool to use on groups of enemies.
if I think they are a Good Person(tm)
He's a kind man, if not distant due to past griefs.
