so. this is. this is a lot.

this is like they took Brennan’s “Fire” from the beginning of Calamity and were like,

“why not make it Fire. Acid. Ice. Poison”

Once again thinking about how when I was on TV, talking about being Jewish, I then ended up on a call with the CST (a UK Jewish charity that does security for synagoges and Jewish events, recognised by the UK police and government as "a unique model of best practice") about my personal safety going to work and on trains in London.

This was in Jan 2020. There was legitimate concern that I would be targetted for being Jewish.

So when people say "antisemitism doesn't exist" or "well it wouldn't be a problem is Israel hasn't retaliated after October 7th", honestly fuck you. You have absolutely no fucking clue what it's like to be constantly on edge that you're going to be attacked in broad daylight and have no idea if passers by will try and protect you and help, or join in.

i’m so used to how you draw zelda that whenever i see someone else draw her it’s literally like. skinny person jumpscare.

literally being a fat zelda truther is so hard bc why do people insist on drawing the girl like she's never had a meal in her life. put some meat on her bones please god she is starving

If you mess with somebody's mobility/life-preserving aid and all you got was yelled at by the disabled person in question, just know you got off easy. Fucking with somebody's aid can easily become a matter of life-or-death, so you have to understand why somebody would "lash out" about that.

i think i wouldn’t hate disco elysium’s collage mode nearly as much if it weren’t for 1) the way that it was marketed in such a tasteless, soulless manner, let alone the fact that it was a last ditch distraction from a dead on its feet studio piloted by dumbass thieving execs and released on the day of the court declaration, and 2) those dumbass fucking stickers

like if it had been included with the base game from the start and had been titled something a bit more tasteful and in-line with how i would have liked the feature to be marketed as— something like “exploration mode”, something that perhaps could only be unlocked after completing the game for the first time, AND didn’t have those stupid as hell visually and tonally incongruent with the artstyle stickers, i would have applauded it as a nice little bonus for being able to study and appreciate the 3d models and environments for reference.

Every time I think about Mnemosurgery I'm reminded of just how much I hate how the Autobots seemed to flagrantly disregard consent with it. Optimus Prime Himself seemed to be pretty on board with it. Like, I get including it and Shadowplay as a very obvious showcase of how Awful Cybertronian Society before the war was, but god does having it rear its ugly head during the modern day feel just plain off. (And this is coming from someone who LIKES a bit of mindfuckery in their fiction)

Ikr???

It makes you wonder what we aren't seeing

LGBTQ people in the 60s/70s: we named our liberation group after the Algerian and North Vietnamese Liberation Fronts and used the North Vietnamese flag as our banner and teamed up with the Black Panthers and Young Lords because fuck the United States and capitalism and imperialism

LGBTQ people today: we simply must defend far-right neo-Nazi groups allied with the United States because House Speaker and rotating RPDR guest judge Nancy Pelosi says so

Okay someone who knows more about dnd than I do help me sort out princess tutu rpg classes. My thoughts so far:

Tbh I could see Duck as either a bard or a cleric. Bard for nonviolent approaches to conflict and a dance focus. That said I could totally see her as a cleric, she’d make a natural fit as the healer of the party and princess tutu could be her deity.

Ok so Fakir has to multiclass in like the most inefficient way right? Starts as a low hp high dps melee fighter and eventually makes the transition to a magic user class (warlock perhaps?? Wizard of some sort?). It’s kind of funny to imagine him as guy who desperately needs a high wis/int but keeps dumping all his stats into strength out of sheer stubbornness. I mean he doesn’t HAVE to switch classes but I think it makes the most sense, he starts in a class that he’s really not suited for and has to transition to what’s best for him even if he’s not happy about it.

Mytho is a natural fit for a paladin tank (though I’d listen to an argument for cleric). He’s throwing himself in the way to protect all the members of the party with no regards to his own safety. Probably dies a lot.

Rue I’m most undecided on. I could see her as a magic using class like Druid (preferred form is a crow) or warlock (makes a pact with the Raven) or even a bard who uses her persuasion to start drama. In a totally different direction, I could also see her as a rogue just to balance out the party; she’s clever, resourceful, nimble, etc.

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, i don’t think FTS is an easy or fun read. Publishers and editors have turned it down for that reason.

i made it knowing it was weird and niche. so the fact it’s become my career is absurd. thank you so much for reading.

Thank you for 3 million reads and 66k subs on Facing the Sun!!
