[VD: Gameplay video from case 2-5 of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. It starts with van Zieks's "Hold it!" bubble appearing on screen; his accompanying voice clip is using the Japanese audio. The video then cycles between Kazuma behind the prosecutor's bench, Stronghart at the judge's seat, and Ryunosuke behind the defense bench jerking back in surprise, before settling on van Zieks behind the witness bench, swirling a chalice of wine in his right hand. He slams his left leg on the bench and says "...Pray forgive the discourtesy of filling my hallowed chalice whilst I stand accused of murder." /End VD]

I FINALLY GOT BACK THERE

reminder that Susato chose her entire career path to help Kazuma proving that there is in fact a "platonic explanation for this"

allos realize that a character's sexuality is not something you can argue for without being amatonormative or allonormative or otherwise shoving people into boxes and actually barring word of god characters can just be whatever sexuality you want because there are no rules challenge

like idk if I'm too soft or a billionaire sympathizer or whatever but openly celebrating and mocking someone's absolutely terrifying manner of death because they're someone you don't like using a product you don't like is just a bit too close to the train of thought behind "capital punishment would be fine if the Right Good People are choosing who are the Wrong Bad People who die" for my comfort

love how fandom will go nuts over the absolute blandest white men rather than dark-skinned characters with personality traits that they previously went nuts over when the character with them could be whitewashed

btw my resolution is that this week I am going to be so work-life balance. by which I mean I resolve to slack off a tiny bit and open palm slam meow meow multiple times daily

I'm still mad about how literally none of the """girls' uniforms""" at garreg mach have pants. in fact iirc Leonie is the ONLY female student who wears pants post-timeskip. and whenever there are fanworks of like characters redesigned to have garreg mach uniforms or whatever the female characters are always always ALWAYS wearing skirts like it absolutely baffles me how it seems like no one has a problem with this on The Queer Website when will the stereotype of girl = skirt go the fuck away

(edit I thought Ingrid's post-timeskip thing was like a tunic like the falcon knight uniform but it seems like there are in fact pants according to the concept art? hell yeah)

(edit again I am very unobservant actually and there are a few others who wear pants if I consider Leonie's short shorts as pants (which I was doing to be generous). namely Hapi wears pants under her tunic, Bernie has short shorts under hers, and Edelgard's uniform pre-timeskip has shorts)

my friend taught me how to use their favourite art program today

it sure is funny how saying you could never see a ship as romantic in the character tags is so terrible, ship hate, unacceptable!!! while dumping on people who see the relationship between two characters as platonic in those character tags is fine and dandy. boy I wonder where the double standard comes from 🤔 (hint it's the amatonormativity and the relationship hierarchy)

[wherefore-whinnies]

tl;dr if you say things like "there's no heterosexual/platonic explanation for this" or "historians will say they were roommates" or think a character not wanting romance/friendship is a thing to be fixed or think that actions are inherently romantic without considering the intent behind them or insist that ace attorney is ~the gay lawyer game~ or a whole variety of other aphobic behaviour that's been normalized in fandom please either unfollow me or commit to learning about aspec people and amatonormativity and changing your behaviour.

I've had people tell me stuff like "I'm sure most people in your fandoms are nice, decent people! if you just tell them about the things they do that are harmful I'm sure they will listen and try to change!" and "if you just sit there and feel bad about it nothing will ever change! not with that attitude!" about amatonormativity in fandom and like okay would you like to take on that responsibility then? would you like to try to educate people on how the basic way they engage with fandom is blatantly erasing a whole group of queer people? would you like to be the person telling a bunch of people who think the way they engage with fandom is so progressive and good that actually it's really not? would you like to bring up the word aphobia in regards to the things they post and bring to mind completely relevant parallels with things like homophobia and transphobia that they think they're above?

aro people get dogpiled and subjected to hate and mistreatment online just for saying they'd like to see more platonic friendships in media. ace people get dogpiled and subjected to hate and mistreatment online just for saying they don't like how unnecessary sex scenes have become a thing to be shoved so commonly into media. people will start screaming "homophobia!" and "purity culture!" and making up all these strawmen to argue against so that they can feel superior to and condescend to and make fun of aspecs. any mention of kink at pride invariably devolves into rampant and blatant acephobia from a website that insists acephobia is a thing of its past and they're so much better now. and it's not just random internet strangers. it gets put on my dash by people who are supposed to be my friends. so again. would you like to be the one to so nicely and politely explain to people and ask that aspecs pretty please be recognized as a portion of the queer community that matters and is worthy of respect?

at this point people know that aspec people exist and they continue to do this anyway. they'll claim to care about aspec people and insist that this is true until it comes to them actually having to change their behaviour. people don't want to accept that things they are doing are wrong and harmful. that's just how people are. allo (and even some aro, somehow) queers think they are engaging with fandom in such a progressive and morally pure way and do you really want to be the one to tell them that they're not?

I have had friends who have known perfectly well that I hate romance, have seen this on numerous, numerous occassions, and have still expected me to be thrilled about a particular romance because it was gay. (somehow people do not seem to realize that they are literally saying gay romance is not real romance when they do this. and yet I'm the homophobe.) it's really not a simple matter of just "explaining to people". not to mention that having to try to educate people on all this is fucking exhausting. aside from the actual figuring out what to say and how to say it and writing it all down you have to worry about the person not understanding anyway, or just brushing it all aside with cries of "homophobia!".

so you know, maybe consider taking some of that on instead of piling it all on my shoulders when I'm the one who will be most harmed by the outcome!

and please don't take this to mean that I want all of fandom to be all about friendships either. I may be alloplatonic but I am shaking hands with all my aplatonic comrades who are even more neglected in this sense than aros are. and in general, I would like to do what I can to speak out for you knowing that I am somewhat shielded from the outcome by virtue of being alloplatonic.

I've lost the thread of what I was ranting about at this point but no one's read this far anyway so 😇 anyway, if you do any of the stuff I wrote in the tl;dr and haven't unfollowed me yet and read this far instead (thank you!), please please please consider educating yourself on amatonormativity and how those kinds of comments are actually erasing an entire class of relationships had especially by, but not exclusively by, aspec people. please don't just dismiss this with the kneejerk reaction of "homophobia!!!". aspec people are queer people too and don't deserve to be erased for the purpose of propping other queer communities up. there are respectful ways to engage with fandom and shipping without doing this.

anyway i got a bunch of new followers and wanted to make sure to scare the aphobic ones away sooner rather than later :)

something something girl i can be in kinds of relationships your amatonormative mind can't even conceive of

man I'm at the hospital for the one test that seems the most likely to find some explanation for my mysterious illness and it seems to be mainly a hospital for seniors. which like yeah basically only old people seem to have any condition like this and then they just fucking die within a year because nobody cares about old people. what a world.

the latest medication i have prescribed to try to treat the Problems has a name that makes me think of destiel and i think it would be funny if i just go around saying save me destiel. destiel save me. constantly
