I am not a fan of fics that primarily use flowery language to restate the canon. I get bored very quickly. This explains why I hardly revisit Boston Kama Sutra 💀

Luo Bingge is a horrible man who does nasty things at least in part because, in a very walled off and repressed part of him, there is still a scared and lonely child who only wants someone nice to hold his hand and keep him safe

I took a picture of the lines for once and did some basic crappy photo editing on my phone, so you could probably print this out and use it as a coloring page or something if you so wish lol. Do with it what you will.

The reason EAH is a children’s franchise is because only a child who Doesn’t Understand Things could possibly consider Royal being the right stance

I think the Unascended vs Ascended question can easily be boiled down to a simpler choice. Do you want a vampire or an elf? Because the last elven thing Ascended Astarion has are probably his ears, while the only vampiric traits Unascended Astarion has are just the teeth and functional needs of the curse, while his yearning and ideals are fully elven.

I will always choose the elf and will hc (though Larian themselves suggest this will happen) that his condition will be fully healed at some point, because there are cures for it. I see this as him fulfilling his destiny, succeeding where poor, tragic Jander Sunstar failed, overcoming an immense obstacle despite immense odds, fulfilling the deepest elven yearning - that of absolute freedom.

The other choice can be just as valid and compelling for someone who takes what he becomes seriously, owns it and doesn’t downplay or soften it.

Another point against Bravo is that like, while sure Tango had suspicions that there were other ways people could leave Hels after Helsknight, nothing about the Helsknight situation really would've confirmed that Helsmets and Overworlders (Outerworlders?) can swap places, since Helsknight appeared on Hermitcraft and Welsknight... didn't go anywhere. The only thing to make Tango think he'd been swapped was his own self-loathing.

this is true; tango didn’t even know that hels players were doppelgängers until helsknight showed up. he’d recognized early on that he was a different sort of player than the other hermits but he didn’t realize how deep it went. however, i will say that he is at fault for not coming forth with his suspicions- even if it was based off nothing but a hunch, he fully believed that a perfectly ‘innocent’ player had been stranded in hels because of him, and said nothing.

if he’d come forward with what he knew, the other hermits might’ve figured out a way into hels far earlier and spared bravo a few extra years in hels. so for that, bravo’s anger is absolutely justified. of course, that doesn’t justify his response to that anger (ie. actively helping to recapture tango and send him back to the farm). like i’ve said before, i like writing complex and nuanced situations and characters… very few characters in this fic are completely without faults, and that’s intentional.

tumblr telling everyone to not vote for kamala over israel like the US election decides the war and kamala herself is netanyahu. meanwhile netanyahu is sitting around the negotiating table trying to draw out the talks and so he can use them as an opportunity to massacre more palestinians.

eagle eyed focus on the real issue as always, guys 👍

Should have realised sooner the reason it was so hard to pin down a gender label for me was because I am genderfluid lol

[alluralater]

i been thinkin lately about why a lot of people i’ve been with end up coming out as nonbinary or are nonbinary and sometimes people are like what’s your gender and i’m like [shrug] i’m a woman, whatever that means :) cause it’s all generally defined by my experience and oppression opposite those who are classified as men, whatever that means. and i tend to have great big feelings for nonbinary people because we always feel so incredibly safe with one another. like they are the nearest and dearest to my heart for some reason even before i know they are or they know they are. anyways all this to say, i don’t really care what you call me or whatever cause gender is a construct and i’m not bob the builder

I often see a lot of inclus say “eventually people will accept us, they’ll accept mspec lesbians and lesboys, we just have to wait!” And it’s really is a nice sentiment, you should believe that, but I just can’t?? Maybe I’m just cynical, but I can’t see an online world where we are accepted by the majority of people, I only rlly see what we have now, a smaller community curated to avoid the intense hostility of exclus. I think we’re just too complicated, too difficult for people to understand so too difficult for people to accept. I know that’s pessimistic, and I feel bad for coming to that conclusion, because like you should have hope in something better, but I really don’t??

In real life I see a more accepting place, but like a lot of us do not have the opportunity to have that real life community, only the one we have online. And that online community I think will only be met with hostility. I don’t think we will end up like how pansexuals and asexuals were before I just can’t see it

It feels really hopeless, knowing that no matter what you do, how many times you try to explain it, how hard you try that you will never be accepted but I guess that’s just how life is and you just have to deal with it

I am genuinely happy that people think it’ll get better, I just wish I could think the same yk?

[bookwyrminspiration]

fucked up some people never even have to think about their identities. I’m like 3 weeks into a self-reflection to try and figure out if I feel love and they’re just out there. never thinking about that
