First of all, bitch, where did I ever say anything about "eroticizing inferiority"? Like, be fucking for real. Show me the receipts. Because unless you’re reading between lines that don’t exist, nothing in my post said anything about power dynamics, submission, or “inferiority.” It sounds like you’re projecting some judgmental bullshit that I didn’t even invite into the conversation. So let’s start there—check yourself before you come into my space twisting my words to fit your weird little agenda.

Second of all, and I mean this with every ounce of sincerity, shut the fuck up. Genuinely, if you don’t like what you see, don’t interact. It’s that simple. Not everyone has to match your narrow idea of what shifting is “supposed” to be. Shifting isn’t some gated community where you get to play security guard and decide who’s allowed in. So do us all a favor, take that rigid-ass energy, and keep it to yourself, bitch.

Let’s be real for a second. You said, “sex freaks who insist on eroticizing inferiority are ruining shifting.” Bitch, nobody’s ruining anything—especially not me. All I said was that I want to get fucked. Plain and simple. If my desire to shift for a good time offends you, you’re free to move along. Shifting means different things to different people, and if sex is part of that, it’s totally valid. If I want to shift to a reality for some damn good dick, who the fuck are you to get all sanctimonious about it? Newsflash: your opinion on what’s “appropriate” doesn’t apply here, darling.

And let’s get one thing fucking clear, because clearly, you need this spelled out: even if someone did want to shift to a reality where they take on a more passive, submissive role, what of it? Why the fuck does that bother you so much? Some people spend their whole lives having to be strong, holding shit together, constantly defending themselves, and staying in control just to survive. Maybe, just maybe, they want to create a reality where they can finally let go, surrender, and trust someone who respects them and won’t take advantage of them. Imagine that—feeling safe enough to let down your guard and explore a side of yourself you don’t get to express in this life. For some people, that’s healing. For others, it’s fun. Either way, it’s their choice, not yours. So back the fuck off.

So let’s talk about this “ruining shifting” nonsense you pulled out of nowhere. Bitch, the only thing “ruining” anything is people like you, stomping into conversations uninvited and acting like you’re the gatekeeper of how others should experience their desires. You’re clinging to this imaginary rulebook about what’s “appropriate” for shifting as if that makes you morally superior, but all it does is make you look insecure, judgmental, and way too invested in other people’s business. Spoiler alert: nobody gives a fuck about your approval or needs it to validate their experience.

Here’s the truth, since you seem to need a wake-up call: shifting is deeply personal. It’s about self-determination and freedom, not conforming to some rigid-ass code of conduct set by random bitches on the internet. If someone wants to shift for spiritual growth, self-discovery, sexual exploration, or all of the above, that’s their fucking prerogative. Shaming them because it doesn’t align with your limited, vanilla-ass view of what’s “appropriate” is straight-up pathetic.

And by the way, bitch, sex is a natural, beautiful, and completely valid part of life. If I want to shift for sex, or if someone else wants to shift to feel cherished, adored, or, yes, even submissive, that’s nobody’s fucking business but ours. Maybe instead of trying to drag others down to your level of insecurity, you could take a hard look in the mirror and figure out why other people’s sexual autonomy bothers you so damn much. Because this isn’t about “ruining shifting”; it’s about you being uncomfortable with the idea of someone enjoying themselves in a way that’s different from what you deem acceptable. Maybe some self-reflection would do you some good.

To every other shifter out there who’s ever been made to feel guilty or “lesser” for shifting for your own reasons, listen up: you don’t owe anyone an explanation, and you don’t need anyone’s approval. Your DR, your fucking rules. If shifting for you is about finding love, intimacy, exploration, or yes, even some good dick, that’s your choice. Don’t let some insecure bitch shame you or make you feel like you’re somehow ruining the experience just because it doesn’t fit into their narrow little box. Shifting is about creating the life and reality you want to live—whatever the fuck that looks like for you.

So, here’s a suggestion: take your unsolicited, holier-than-thou attitude and keep it to yourself. If you can’t handle seeing people talk openly about their desires and goals for shifting, then bitch, scroll past and save yourself the outrage. Because at the end of the day, I’m not here to please you, and neither is anyone else. We’re here to live our best lives, however we see fit, and if that’s too much for you, the door’s right over there.

To everyone who’s out here shifting for what they want, keep going. Own your desires, own your reality, and don’t let anyone’s outdated judgment make you feel like you’re doing it wrong. Shifting is your journey, and if that includes exploring intimacy, vulnerability, or sexuality, you’re not alone. You’re valid, and your experience is just as real and important as anyone else’s.

Consider this your reminder that no one’s begging for your approval. I’ll be over here, unbothered, shifting for exactly what I want, and loving every fucking second of it. ✨

This isn't, like, the biggest deal, but I do find it funny when people are almost... surprised or shocked that converts unironically believe in judaism and also unironically align themselves with jewishness. It's just something I've seen a small handful of times and it's like... of course I (and others!) unironically believe in this stuff. I'm not putting in this work because I don't have enough going on in my life

Had THE funniest dream last night

So I was watching the next episode of the animated adaptation of Crossroads on YouTube and noticed something. Now I have no English subtitles to work with for the anime, so I'm only going off of a mix of some Japanese I understand/knowledge of the game story/whatever I can work out by watching. But from what I can see, it seems the anime changed the reason Chiaki was singing on that stage? Again, going off of whatever I could figure out for the anime, it looks like the anime makes it seem like the primary reason Chiaki was singing on that stage was because he was bullied into it by his upperclassmen in Ryuseitai, since it has been stated that Chiaki was bullied by the former Ryuseitai members in the past. Which, once again....

Meet me in the fucking pit, ex-Ryuseitai members 😠😠😠😠😠

However, reading the version of Crossroads in the original Enstars game, while Chiaki is still bullied by his upperclassmen, the primary reason he sings on stage there is specifically because he's trying to save Eichi.

It makes me curious why the anime (seemingly) changed the motivation behind Chiaki singing on the stage. For the sake of simplifying matters for the adaptation? Possibly wanting to make changes to the story (since I've heard apparently there have been other retcons made for stories from the original game for the sake of newer stories written for the current game)? Maybe not wanting to take so much focus away from Undead or Akatsuki, since Crossroads is primarily their story, not Chiaki's?

I don't know, personally I prefer how the game handled it. Because this is the timid, bullied Chiaki who is still standing up and trying to protect someone even though he's scared, even though he has yet to take on that hero persona of his. I find that MUCH more engaging and interesting for him as a character!

hi, im that aro anon you were talking about. you didn’t sound preachy at all, dw, i just wanted to clarify myself because i sent that ask like a week ago i think and i probably could’ve explained myself better.

..which is sort of the hard part for me because articulating my thoughts on love is just as hard as fully grasping haha. it makes sense in my head but writing it never comes out right.

i think you bring up a lot of good points and i totally agree with your thoughts on platonic love, always have, and i’m the last person that treats platonic love as second best to the romantic kind.

what i was trying to say is that the label or line itself doesn’t really matter to me when it comes to ianthony. in real life they’re obviously platonic, but a lot of people see them in a romantic context too for fun, and i understand it regardless so it doesn’t make a difference to me. in my mind, it doesn’t even really require a label. it’s just Love, and that’s why i felt that i could understand it fully in a way that’s usually hard for me.

to quote myself, they are [an example of] my definition of love, and that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s romantic— i didn’t mean it romantically. it just is. my aromanticism felt relevant when talking about this because it affects the way i view all love, but i think that might’ve led to confusion.

you said it better than me: “I’d even say it’s true love”. that’s what i was originally trying to get across, and i think it might’ve gotten misinterpreted a little. but i really appreciate you talking about it because i love discussing things with other aro(aces) like myself. sorry for the essay ❤️

Thank you for the clarification! I also didn't mean to sound like I thought you were devaluing platonic love! That wasn't the thought process, the whole thing sort of came from a misplaced sense of concern, I guess. 😅

sometimes I read the name june egbert as my name and get scared for a large handful of moments because it means my name was leaked online. which it wasnt but i thought it was. and if i close my eyes i forget what i look like and i genuinely can almost only think of myself as looking like june or vriska. and if i don't have the mental image of june or vriska in my head i get really sad. connected to dysphoria definitely. did a few too many "shes literally me"-s and quite frankly i'm not going to stop because it feels really good.

I genuinely do not believe Sebastian has ever had a contract lasting longer than .2 seconds bc he's so sincere about getting this one perfect that it's almost lame nor do I think he's a casual sex haver for fun bc number one that's boring as hell to me I prefer thinking about him staring at the wall bored as hell all night bedroomless and bc number two I also think it's a boring as hell vice to give a demon who is not really a person per se and isn't bound to human wants or needs or whatever every time he's had something go on with a random person it's been like purely business sorry this is my personal truth 😔🚬

hmmm once again seeing some opinions that really really baffle me

[nellasbookplanet]

I know your andromeda post is two years old at this point but I just saw it and have some thoughts. Which are that as someone who was there every step of the way to see the backlash I think you’re overthinking it. Most people did not get far enough in to give Ryder a chance to see how different they were from Shepard if they ever played at all, because the real issue was how it looked. Andromeda was seen as looking awful, a cartoony joke of a game that had a previous build that was closer to how people wanted it to look but launched looking a bit rough. This made a lot of fans of the original trilogy very, very mad, because they felt like they were being mocked, and some delusional ones blamed it on BioWare being woke. Throw in the fact that Jaal was not bi at launch despite teasing that he would be and there being no options for main squad m/m romances as a result, and BioWare had a perfect storm to piss off two significant sections of its player base (over varying degrees of valid complaint) and so Andromeda flopped.

First off, no I didn’t overthink it, because that wasn't a very serious post. It was me having the thought 'huh this tone sure is different from the original trilogy, I bet there were older fans who hated that' while playing and then posting that thought. I do write a lot of serious analysis and meta but that was merely an off-hand observation.

I wasn’t around in fandom spaces when Andromeda launched, so yeah obviously I don’t know the specifics of the backlash at the time (I also always play as female if possible so the availability/lack thereof of m/m content is an admitted blind spot). I can say however that comments I've gotten in the past (mostly on that specific post) note Andromeda's flaw as it having pretty lackluster plot/lots of pointless filler. "Feeling empty" is a phrase I've seen used more than once.

As to people not liking how it looked, ??? why?? It's beautiful! Yeah there are some wonky aspects, but the original trilogy certainly didn’t lack in that area (frankly that it doesn’t get ridiculed more for it’s ridiculous designs of female characters and armor is a mystery, and something that bothers me much more than the occassionally wonky looking face). And gee, if people really did get upset and felt mocked because the game looked 'cartoony' compared to the trilogy, that certainly sounds like original fans disliking a shift in tone to something less serious. Now I wonder where someone might’ve talked about that before.
