Happy Birthday Eden Tobisa!

Turns out our favorite clock girly has her birthday on New Year's Eve! What a nice date for such a nice girl! Let's do a character analysis, fun facts, and songs!

-We know relatively little about Eden's backstory. The most notable thing we know about her life before the killing game, apart from her fascination with clocks, is what is revealed in her chapter 2 secret: "Ever since you kissed her, you were afraid your sexuality would ruin your friendships." Which is pretty straightforward; she's canonically a lesbian and is worried it would negatively affect her friendships.

-Literally the only other thing we know about her backstory is that she lived in Japan for a small period of time when she was younger, before moving back to the US. This was revealed in a Q&A.

(... You know, I made a deranged theory in my Mai post that maybe the girl that Eden kissed was actually Mai. It wasn't very serious, since it was just a silly way to try to explain what the hell Eden's quote in the Mai page could mean. But... we know Teruko was in Japan for a while when she was younger, and it's theorized she knew Mai before being separated from her at some point. Combined with Mai's name being seemingly Japanese, it could imply Mai also lived in Japan at some point. And if that's the case, it's possible she met Eden there? To be clear, that's still an insane possibility, but I do find it a funny possibility, which is why I'm sharing it)

-Apart from that, Eden's defining trait is her optimism and her trust in others. She sticks to Teruko's side even after she starts pushing everyone away in CH 1, and confesses to her that she believes "not caring about others is the worst way to live." She's importantly not naive, she does know their situation is horrible, but still she constantly searches for an exit and tries to build good friendships with the others.

-This includes baking with Min, Rose and Teruko in CH1, inviting Teruko and Arei to make clocks on CH2, etc. Basically, she's awesome and nice and mature.

-Also she loves clocks. Regular Ultimate stuff, she can apparently spend hours and hours working and losing track of time.

-Although for such an optimistic character, her secret quote is quite ominous. "You can't go back, no matter how hard you try." We have zero clue what this means at the moment, but at least it does fit the symbolism of time always moving forward.

-Meanwhile, her quote in the Mai page is "She kept calling the number, even though no one picked it up." This is even more incomprehensible! Eden, what in the world are you talking about?

-Alright, David MV. She doesn't have a color in Color Theory, but her numeral is XII (twelve). Go to 1:48:28 in this video for an explanation. God it's so convenient to have that lol.

Alright fun facts!

-As stated, her birthday (December 31st) lands on New Year's Eve. Maybe representing new beginnings or change, which certainly goes well with her character. How nice!

-Like most of the cast, she's American and right-handed.

-She's one of the only characters with dyed hair. Her hair was originally just brown.

-Her favorite color is daffodil yellow, because it's happy, and her least favorite color is blue, because it's "kind of a downer color." Areden shippers in shambles.

-Her favorite ice cream flavor is honeycomb. I didn't even know that existed but go off queen.

-She enjoys cute fashion, but also enjoys wearing androgynous style clothing.

-She likes food which is fun to make or prepare. How nice!

-She's biracial; her mother is black and her father is Japanese. This is why she spent a bit of time in Japan when she was younger.

-Her name in kanji is 飛佐【とび ・ さ】楽【いーでん】. Gonna leave any actual meaning as homework, but it's worth noting her name was anglicized. I think that would translate to "Iden", but her mother liked the name "Eden", so they went with that instead.

Finally, songs that remind me of her!

-Positive Parade by DECO*27

-Gone Fishing by Ghost & Pals (friendship!)

-Aura by Ghost & Pals

-In Iolite by Ghost & Pals

-Magnet by minato

-Those Who Carried On by Ghost & Pals

-I'm Glad You're Evil Too by PinocchioP

And Happy Birthday! And a happy new year! Well wishes to all you Tumblr peeps. Take care!

I have rewatched the mean lesbians episode in hopes I would like them more the second time, but I'm afraid I'm still not vibing with it. Credit that they tried to undercut the "lesbians who drop in to give our main couple therapy" with the whole reveal it was game and Mary's little rant about their relationship "losing the magic", but like... did they really? Do Anne and Mary not successfully tee up the really touching BlackBonnet airing of grievances and reconciliation? Laughing at them a bit for being dorky doesn't change that they really didn't do much sabotaging, overall, so it's not like they weren't pushing them back together.

I mean, even Mary's whole rant happens after Anne leaves the room. By the time they really start telling us how this couple has their own foundation cracks and issues (vs the veneer of just keeping it interesting) and aren't a longstanding example of a healthy relationship, Anne is literally offscreen making a grand romantic gesture that will solve Mary's discontent. I know they are fitting a miscommunication arc into half an episode instead of 2-3 seasons, but the end result just feels like speedrunning a knock off of BlackBonnet's issues.

And that along with the fact they function as BlackBonnet mirrors first and characters second, it all just feels very... underwhelming (?) to me.

Like why do I care about Anne and Mary? Is the face stealing gimmick supposed to have hooked me? They also, imo, really fucked up by ending on a hug - it just spotlights the fact that, for all the sex jokes, they don't really bother to sell physical intimacy between the two. They maybe bump shoulders at the shop, sit in separate chairs in every scene in the house... honestly the best they do is the offscreen knife flicking. Which funny metaphor but like. Why can't the lesbians be into each other without the metaphor? Or am I supposed to think that Anne "burn the whole house down the second her wife admits she doesn't like swamp life" Bonny didn't pick up that Mary was maybe unhappy when they entirely stopped touching each other and replaced it with murder attempts.

Even a repeat of the offscreen joke but this time imply they are hardcore making out as Stede and Edward slip away would have probably hit better? (I'm assuming for some reason kissing was off the table, otherwise even more wtf why not just kiss?)

(Can you tell I've been thinking about the sorry state of femslash?)

Also I'd be remiss not to tie my dissatisfaction with Anne and Mary to my dissatisfaction with OFMD's prevailing approach to female characters. Spanish Jackie's entire thing is being so awesome and desirable that she has 20 husbands that all work for her, which is super fun. Mary Bonnet became a widowed girlboss with a Doug, which was also fun. Then suddenly we're meeting Zheng Yi Sao who is a girlboss Pirate Queen better than any man, and her right-hand woman that seems like a more stable and competent Edward/Izzy parallel, and her crew of only hyper-competent women... do you see how this is getting a bit repetitive?

Now we add Anne and Mary speedrunning BlackBonnet parallels to teach them a grand gesture romantic lesson? So... doing Stede and Edward but Better™?

Zheng Yi Sao still has time to get more interiority that could offset the whole "girlboss" gimmick which would help, but until that happens the only real female character standout to me is Archie - a woman who has something deeply wrong with her but has so far just kind of slotted in as a equal crewmember instead of the Competent Woman Character.

Yes, I shall blr the tum, Mocha of Anonymous. I thank thee for defending my choice.

However, what dost being a nonbinary lesbian hath to do with anything?

SHORT ANSWER: Seeing their favorite nonbinary character kiss girls makes a nonbinary lesbian happy!!!

LONG ANSWER: The #medpoc_girlkissing_collection tag has everything to do with being a nonbinary lesbian, actually. More ramblings under cut. Long post ahead.

Imagine a nonbinary lesbian who repressed most of their tendencies throughout their childhood and teenhood. They live in a homophobic misogynist religious country and grew up surrounded by queer people who like men so they thought that they have to tone down their interest and passion towards women. It doesn't help that sapphic, let alone trixic representation and media were scarce or not taken seriously by the fandom.

That nonbinary lesbian thought of their lesbianism as filthy, predatory, and something to grow out of. It was not something to be proud of. It was not something to talk about. It was not something to make art with. It was something to be ashamed of.

That nonbinary dyke is almost 18. They found. Something. A game. With lots of girls in it. And sapphic subtext that you could barely call subtext anymore. It has women pining for one another, it has women who present themselves in a more masculine way and is illustrated to have sapphic relations, it has people of color, it has a NONBINARY CHARACTER (wow), and not only that, but the creators clearly put a lot of love into this game. You don't see this shit often??? And it??? Means a lot to me??? A game where sapphic relationships are even a pretty strong plot point in the game???

Okay, so let's get back to how there's a nonbinary character, right? Now let's look at the nonbinary lesbian again. What is that? Transneutral tendencies? The longing to be sexless? Okay. Let's look at the nonbinary character — said to have no reproductive organs. [THE CROWD CHEERS].

"Oh wow I want to be them," said the nonbinary lesbian, "I can make them lesbian."

[ THAT CHARACTER IS NOT A LESBIAN. AND LIKELY NEVER WILL BE IN CANON. ]

That statement is true. But here's the thing with the game... This is a gacha game, you can essentially play with these characters like dolls. Reality can be anything you want. Seeing the amount of subtext + text sapphic relationships in this game is like a "permission" to go lesbian overdrive and — make that enby kiss girls. Lots of them. And be freaky about it. To make ME happy.

The fandom certainly won't make them kiss girls but nobody can stop me and the repressed lesbianism throughout my teenhood. This character is weird, sometimes pathetic, but confident and owns up to their action. They want to pave their own path and that is such a positive influence for this was-ashamed-of-her-attraction-and-afraid-of-being-cringe dyke. They're a perfect candidate to project my version of queerness on. It also helps that they don't have a canon race (haha asian beam) and how we have a similar voice!!!

DRAWING THEM KISSING GIRLS IS SO AFFIRMING AND FUN!!! IT MAKES THIS NONBINARY DYKE HAPPY!!! DRAWING IT A LOT OF TIMES MAKES ME EVEN HAPPIER!!! ♡ I can do whatever I want. I own the place. And oh, if it isn't thrilling to see how much dyke bullshit I repressed over the course of years spill out spontaneously to this fucking game LMAO!!! It's euphoric, it's fun, it's weird, and it helps me mend my relationship with being a nonbinary lesbian ♡

So yeah. You can see that tag as a ritual for me to cope with being a nonbinary lesbian with the help of this awesome game. But it's also more like a celebration of my queerness and expression, in my own weird way. It makes me proud? Yeah. Yeah it does.

Have fun tumming the blr! And sorry if my answer is weird but I appreciate you asking this!

TLDR The Musical Chicago Taught Me About The Terrible Societal Pressure to Perform Gender Way Before I Really Understood What That Even Was

So it's Pride Month! And I've been listening to Chicago basically every day because it's exactly the length of my commute right now so I wanted to write about it.

I didn't grow up questioning my gender, and I guess my sexuality was 'I'll worry about that when I'm older' - until I got to my 20's and hit the 'oh shit, I haven't got the feelings I'm supposed to have, is something wrong with me?' phase of my existence.

Bringing it around to Chicago - I mean, look at her! It's Catherine Zeta Jones! Everybody is a little attracted to women, right? They're supposed to be hot! That's just how it is!

Hahahahaha.

But other than my hilariously delayed lesbianism I think Chicago stealthily gave me a primer on the fucked up ways our society enforces gender performance. Because you don't have to be trans to be in a situation where your life depends on giving 'em the ol' razzle dazzle.

The protagonist, Roxy Hart, is an asshole, a murderer, and kind of a ditz. Most of the criminals are right assholes, some are more sympathetic, and one is even 100% innocent! Aside from the innocent Hungarian, the thing the prisoners have in common is that they were boxed in, and were driven to violence after being pushed too far.

Whether 'too far' is justified is immaterial to the point. They became outlaws, and must perform womanhood to win over the court of public opinion and earn their 'not guilty' verdicts. And it's not just the kind of performance where you have to color inside the lines to not come off as weird, it's the kind where you dance and contort for the entertainment of the people who get to decide whether you get to live or die.

In Roxy's case this is kind of awesome. She's always wanted to be a star and with the power of hot-headed cold-blooded murder, she's stumbled ass-backwards into an unexpected avenue of fame and attention. She's determined to do this well, not for her survival (she doesn't appreciate the gravity of the situation, yet) but for a way to launch a career as a singer.

I mean what's Roxy's other choice? Go back to Amos? The guy who affectionately puts her on the same level as a housecat in his song? He's not the one who 'pushed' her, poor guy can't push anybody to do anything, but that's not even an option she entertains. I used to think he was one of the few good people in this movie/show, but it became pretty clear to me that devotion isn't the same thing as love.

Anyway, enter Billy Flynn, famous lawyer and expert ringmaster. In the song where he talks to the press, they do this cool thing where the reporters' initial questions don't follow the melody at first. As Billy crafts Roxy's story they quickly fall into the structure of the music, too. They draw the conclusions he wants them to, too. "Understandable! Comprehensable! Not a bit reprehensible, it's so defensible~"

Roxy's cover story is absurd, by the way, but it ingeniously plays to her type. She's a ditz but she's not naive, she has incredible natural instincts for the game she's playing. (Well, when it counts. She is resistant following the script, which sometimes gets her in trouble)

Roxy's innocent veneer plays contrast to the Hungarian, who becomes the first woman in the county to be hung for murder. She can't speak the language, literally, which locks her out of being able to play the game at all. In the framework of Roxy's imagination, we see the Hungarian's death as another performance... Because it is!

If you cannot perform, a narrative will be assigned to you and we will cheer for your pretty corpse. The metaphor could not be more clear. This is when shit gets real for Roxy, too.

Velma Kelly is also a good performer, who knows the game, but she has a disadvantage to Roxy. Her story just isn't as good. Nobody really believes she didn't do it, she's already so entrenched in the circus of jazz and liquor and sin that sentencing her is the least interesting outcome. I think that's why she gets away with shit like 'oh I blacked out I can't remember a thing' and getting her charges thrown out in exchange for her testifying against Roxy.

After all, she can't do it alone ;) if she didn't suck up her pride and embrace the pivot to playing the heel in Roxy's story, I bet she'd be hanging, too. Or at least, destitute.

They're both discarded by the public as soon as the verdict is passed and there's fresh blood to gawk at. The only way they survive as independent women cast outside the protections offered as stifled housewives is to embrace the world of Jazz, liquor, and sin... and most importantly, the narrative of the rivalry that they perform for those roaring ding-dong-daddies.

And it's not so bad, because that's what they both wanted, anyway.

random first time thoughts on super lesbian animal RPG

Ok so I bought super lesbian animal rpg because I saw a bunch of people on tumblr talk about it and I wanted to play more niche rpg maker games as Ive been trying out rpg maker myself so im playing the game to get inspiration for my own projects.

So far the game is super cute and wholesome but there is a bit of interesting stuff in this game ive found. (Im only about 30 minutes into the game)

first I find it funny that melody just has a tumblr account like the game doesnt use a name similar to tumblr to reference it ,she just straight up has a tumblr which is cool but unexpected:

next I looked in the settings menu and at the bottom there were 3 interesting options those being whether or not the game was art or not (of course I picked yes) then there was a stat that stated how much politics were in the game it was initially set to about 69% but I set it to 100% just to see what happens. There was also a stat for ludonarrative dissonance (I have litteraly no idea what these words mean) but I also set it too 100.

I have no Idea whether these stats actually do anything or If I should change them but I thought it was super interesting anyway.

Also on the save menu theres a stat for kisses which is just awwwww:

Anyway I realise I haven't talked much about the actual game itself but its really good the writing is super cute and charming.

The combat is generic rpg combat and not really my thing but Im not playing a game called SUPER LESBIAN ANIMAL RPG for the combat lmal.

Also Melody is trans and thats awesome.

also the steam page mentioned the game mentions transphobia and now all I can think of is that the main villian is gonna be furry jk rowling.

anyway yeah game very good and very gay thats all I have to say.

Dr. Wasabi Headcanons

(some of these are gonna be related to romance and relationships because I’m a mega simp)

• When she says she wants to get to know you inside and out, she means it. Her love language is dissection and experimentation, the exception of course being Mustard Cookie

• She’s very observant when studying patterns in behaviors, and sometimes she’ll even make note of things she deems to be extremely important, even if the person in question sees it as something small

•She’s a gamer, her favorite genre being online fighting games. This woman is an absolute MONSTER when it comes to mastering input combinations, a fearsome foe to be certain. I can imagine her and Mustard Cookie duking it out every so often whenever she visits the lab

• She sometimes affectionately nibbles her loved ones’ hand or arm

• Pansexual leaning sapphic (I was originally gonna say she’s a full-on lesbian but actually since she’s so down bad for Roguefort in the manhwa I think this makes more sense for me personally)

• She has a hard time standing still, always rushing around the laboratory and trying to get several things done at once. If she’s in a conversation with someone she might pace around or mess with her gloves

• She’s somewhere on the spectrum. Adding onto that, she has a lot of knowledge about a wide variety of subjects, she could go on Jeopardy and do pretty damn well probably

(I know everyone in the operation survival manhwa talks like this but infodumping fits her personality really well I feel)

• Since she’s a wasabi cookie, she can tolerate very spicy foods. On the rare occasions that she has guests over (she usually prefers to be alone when she’s tinkering with experiments in her lab) she forgets that not everyone likes food that will set their mouth on fire

• When she watches horror movies she picks apart all of the scientific inaccuracies, ie “actually if they were stabbed in that location then this would happen” don’t ask how she knows this information because you can probably take a pretty good guess. Despite this she still thoroughly enjoys them most of the time

• You’d be surprised just how flexible this old woman is, she can move in ways that contortionists can only dream of (I mean you just have to watch her slide in ovenbreak to know that)

• She can literally MacGyver any sorta contraption out of whatever junk is lying around, whatever you’ve got this woman just makes it work somehow

• She views Zombie Cookie as a son, think like if Victor Frankenstein were actually a good parent

• Her handwriting is absolutely atrocious, mainly just a bunch of incomprehension scribbles that she’s somehow miraculously able to read

CONCLUSION

I have many many many many thoughts about this woman, a lot of them pulled from the manhwa but some of them pulled from the games or just from my own brain. Ofc I know the manhwa isn’t canon but I feel like it does a really good job at portraying her personality so I incorporated it into my headcanons because of that. If you guys have any questions or additions I’m always open to hearing about them, I love unique character interpretations it’s just so much fun fr! Anyways if you enjoyed this post then that’s awesome, cause I’ll prolly be making more Wasabi content in the future teehee, absolutely obsessed with her ✨

love exposure (2008)

i think the only capacity in which this movie gets discussed is through mass aesthetic-postings (yk what i mean) but the juggling of multiple themes and how they come together in this movie is extremely impressive... i wish people talked about it more

i think the movie does get thematically messy later on (apparently the movie was supposed to be 6 hours long so several themes dont get carried out all the way to their conclusion) and there are certain 'problematic' aspects that i will discuss later. either way this is such a unique movie and i can understand why people have such polarizing opinions on it.

the first 30-45 minutes of this were so incredible, i think the whole arc where yu consistently asks for forgiveness and commits sins (to the point where he kinda gets off to it...) is such an interesting exploration of the relationship between adolescence, sexuality and religion. when he joins that 'group' (errr cult?) that endorses taking upskirt panty shots.. and he doesnt even get off to it, he is purely trying to get the best possible shot for the love of the game (this whole thing is quite bizarre and perverted but in the context of this movie i think its worth thinking about)

the other thing that is soooo interesting is the fact that for the first part of the movie, yu only interacts with yoko while he is in the miss scorpion attire. it totally acts as a trans allegory and whats even more interesting is he is aroused while in the disguise. whats more is yu talks about getting aroused as "disgusting" (referring to his genitals) and you could interpret this as some form of dysphoria. do i think this is what sion sono intended? not really because in the movie being a pervert is equated to being a lesbian and yoko states her lesbianism was a phase... which is ugh... probably my least favourite aspect of this movie. but whether or not the trans allegory was intended it is def worth mentioning and analyzing.

the other interesting factor that gets explored is the fine line between faith and cultism... this is a whole plot point in the movie where a branch of christianity goes quite a bit far and the intentions of the cult leader are #notgood... but its super fun to see this play out esp bc sakura ando is like. awesome and her sinisterness in this role is really fun to watch.

the girls in this movie also have a hatred towards men, and faith, and other things, that's a result of their upbringing and experiences. it's an important part of their characters and influences their decisions but again i dont think it was fleshed out all the way or with the best intentions (bc of sion sono lol) but again! worth talking about... like for example aya wanting to rid yu of his perversion because of her sexual trauma.

i think the ending is very sweet, craziness and messiness aside you cannot deny there isn't anything quite like love exposure....

[playertwotails]

I've been super busy lately with a work schedule change, family getting surgery (they're fine now), and a foster puppy but I'm finally gonna talk about issue 58.

Adding a cut because it gonna be long and also spoilers.

Firsts thing first..the ones I found funny

Return of the Tails bleep

Blaze made a robot cry

LETS GO LESBIANS!!!

But for real I loved this issue

Poor Tangle she's felt so bad when all she wanted was to make Whisper happy. She was just so sad for the first half. And like this mistake lines up so well with her 'no thoughts head empty just action' personality.

And just Whisper finally reuniting with her friends made me so happy (the pink one is getting SMUSHED help them!! (also SEGA name them please)) She just really went through it these last few issues (so did Sonic cause you know the bitey bath he took) but still she already lost her friends once and it almost happened again she gonna need a minute.

Once again Tails and Blaze are the only ones who have a brain cell in the group. (also I love Blaze's face in these panels she just looks so done with Sonic's shenanigans lol)

Also rip to part of my other headcanon about the chaos emeralds and how Eggman hasn't really tired to recreate a fake one like Tails did in the Adventure 2 game. But also it still holds because even Tails said it's a "cheap replica(s)". (also of course Tails still has to get a burn in there towards Eggman and him having shit tech) This still means that somehow Tails made an replica that was the size of a chaos emerald and worked well enough Sonic teleported so Tails canonically still has made a better fake than Eggman.

But my mind also immediately just jumped to " *bangs fists on table* DARK SONIC * DARK SONIC * DARK SONIC" (they probably aint gonna do it but we got fake emeralds so I'm holding out hope we get a dark Sonic arc)

Give it up to my girl Amy for being a menace and a bad ass

DO YOU EVEN LIFT THOUGH!!!! (Silver i feel like is now a little afraid of her) Also Tails just knows she did something cool cause he knows how awesome Amy is. It's also such a little kid moment of "aww i missed something cool the older kids are doing"

I just think these panels are so cute, they're really just such brothers look at them having the same facile expressions and reactions.

Eggman just somewhere in his base right now thinking "Why do I suddenly hear the boss music from Doom???"

But hell yeah we got team dark being a group of badasses lets goooo!!!!!!! I'm so excited for the next issue.

[soup-for-ghosts]

Ok here's stuff I like about AA :]

1-1

I love Larry he's very silly

An awesome intro to the game

I love the thing with the clock being 9 hours behind rather than 3 hours ahead, that was clever

Sahwit is a really good last name too

The sound effect for Payne saying objection is really silly and I love it

1-2

Absolutely excellent witnesses

I love how Redd basically says "yeah I killed Mia but I have leverage on everyone, it's impossible to get me in prison"

Mia getting killed this early is also a really horrible and simultaneously fun gut punch

1-3

My mind is blanking cause I had stuff going on while playing this one

I like how frustrated Edgeworth got with Cody

Will Powers is a super fun character

1-4

WHAT AN EXCELLENT ENDING CASE

Lotta is my favorite witness and I love her

I love the stupidly complex "kill Hammond at 23:50 then shoot two bullets into the water at 00:15 and jump in so Edgeworth will be confused" stuff

Von Karma 1 is absolutely terrifying and I hate him. Excellent villain

The parrot is also in my top favorite witnesses

Larry made an appearance too, good for him :3

I like the picture at the end

1-5

What a headache. It was really frustrating at the beginning but after the first trial it started getting really fun

Words can't describe how much I love Gant, he's the main inspiration for the antagonist in a new story I'm working on

I love how he's not even really upset when he gets caught, he's just like "oh well, I had a good run"

Also when Edgeworth gets too curious about wtf is going on and just wants the truth, that's great too

Wasn't fond of Angel at first but she grew on me and she's poggers

Same for Marshall but I don't like him as much as angel

I love that 1-4 and 1-5 both had stuff about old cases, it makes the writing feel a lot richer

Lana's design is awesome. She's got a lesbian face. Cannot elaborate.

Ema is alright too. I gave her a lotta crap but she's silly. Definitely not fair to compare her to Maya

I still think it's funny that Neil happened to look like Partitio

Gumshoe also acted very silly throughout the entire case

Meekins was neat too

I like that entire thing about Edgeworth unknowingly helping Gant with Goodman's murder by driving Goodman to the prosecutor's office

2-1

Maggey is SO silly

Another friend told me Wellington was awesome before I even got to JFA so I was super excited to encounter him. Was not disappointed

PAYNE MENTION!!!! I think Payne is silly too, by no means is he a good character but you get a good chuckle out of him. My sister and I also give him a really stupid voice when we play together

Dustin prince is a pretty good name too

I also remember thinking he looked super friendly

I love Wellington mistaking the glove for bananas

2-2

Mimi was such an awesome character, I like the stuff about her stealing her sister's identity

Mimi is so pretty

Pearl is silly and deserves a cup of hot chocolate the size of her forehead /pos

I liked the twist of Morgan wanting Maya to go to prison so she could become the next village head, it's a fun type of motivation.

I watched the opening cutscene a second time a few hours after finishing it because my sister started it and it's a very fun watch the second time

The English car thing was very fun and silly to

2-3

The tiger and lion sprites were so unnecessarily detailed in a good way

I ended up somewhat liking Moe

Max is silly, I like how he's just a country bumpkin but made a name for himself and is so confident

It's also worth noting that the friend that liked Wellington also said Max is her wife

Interesting conclusion and I almost started 2-4 but remembered I have to get up early tomorrow

nice to hear! but again, don’t force yourself to enjoy something you don’t for my sake, you can be honest with me I’ll understand

it is good to hear some of this though :]

I will note that morgan’s motives are more so related to her wanting big things for her daughter, pearl… but… you’ll understand more come aa3 ;>

My favorite character from the Owl House is Hunter because his character arc is so good and his relationship with Willow is adorable. (He literally fell for her at first sight)

And my favorite character from X Men is Kitty (I hate her relationship with Cyclops because she was a CHILD AND HE WAS A GROWN ASS MAN WHEN THEY MEET IN THE COMICS. Also can I just say that I hate that they make Bobby (the guy who does the ice thing) gay because that came out of nowhere and it only happened because an alternative version Jean Gray and her version of Bobby is gay so she decides that all versions of Bobby is gay and she needs to help them be their true self and Bobby who keep in mind has shown sexual and romantic interest in women up to this point 'realizes' he's gay and the rest of the comic is just him coming out to everyone one by one and hardly anything else happens. I wouldn't have minded so much if it wasn't for the fact that most media still treats sexuality like there's only two options gay or straight which completely erases Bisexual, Pansexual, Demisexual, Asexual, to name a few. It just grinds my gears you know anyway sorry for the rant. Kitty deserves a good love interest hopefully she gets one)

I feel like if reader had magic I feel like it would be similar to ether to Luz's or Eda's.

Hunter was so awesome, and he felt relatable, too. He and Willow are cute together, let them have plant and palisman babies!

I like Kitty, and I haven't read the comics (except a handful) so I didn't even know that relationship was thing. (Who the f*ck wrote that?!) I use my favorite X-Men medias as canon, along with head and heart canons, because let's face it: There are so many separate comics with different writers, different movies and timelines, even three (now going to be four) separate X-Men cartoons, whatever books and games they have for the various media, and even the anime and other Marvel shows where the characters show up from time to time. It is SO confusing. So, I just pick my favorite out of the bunch and roll with those (and usually it makes enough sense. Except the timeline changes in the movies. That STILL confuses me. Who is alive? Who is dead? Hopefully Deadpool fixes things).

And yeah, for Bobby, only one version of him was gay. It would have made more senses if they built that into a story arc, took it slowly, instead of being so abrupt. Let the guy be gay or bisexual, but at least make it make sense and not just be considered a quirk or passing fancy. Give it some development. Some thought. Make it mean something. Let it happen like how The Owl House portrays romance and self-discovery. (I myself am part of the asexual community, and that took awhile to figure out, and to this day I'm still finding out more about how I view relationships, platonic or romantic or otherwise. I'm not sure if I truly am interested in romance or not, but in the past I had a crush on a guy and girl, and later found out I just thought they were really great friends). This stuff can take time, it can get messy and feel gut-wrenching, but it doesn't make a person less for being bisexual or gay or lesbian or asexual or straight or trans. None are better than the others, and none are less than the others. It does help to realize all of this isn't back and white. It's a big, mixed canvas of grays in every shade of cloud and ash and silver and stone and eggshell and storm and smoke. (Point is, LGBTQA+ isn't back and white, neither is being straight, but these things are not just quirks. They shouldn't be treated that way, as those are valid beliefs and emotions that don't go away). (I hope I said this right, I'm not always great explaining my thoughts on this kind of thing).

Reader having a power similar to Luz or Eda would be so wild! Surprise, they have glyphs! Surprise, they're part owl beast! They have wild magic, they're blessed by the last Titans, they kicked an evil old emperor/hypocrite into dust! The series finale might have been a little rushed (thanks a LOT, Disney. You should have given them extra time! Extra episodes! A whole lot more episodes than just three for the third season!) but I thought it was still good for the constraints put on Dana and her team. They did good.

01 matel gear 02 otasune strangeboss and/or whoever u want 03 Talk about my bff Strangelove please. and/or whoever

METAL GEAR WOOO WOOOOO

Favorite character: STRANGELOVE !! OR THE BOSS. OR OTACON . OR SNAKE. or emma or meryl or eva um theres a few

Least Favorite character: ummm ummmmm ummmmmmmmm. huey obviously lol. also mgs4 naomi specifically mgs4 ... sorry girl im so sorry. also senator armstrong/sundowner/monsoon/whoever tf else is part of the rising guys im just sick of seeing their ugly faces

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): STRANGEBOSS NUMBER ONE FOREVER YEAAH. otasune number 2 obviously :) umm fortune and olga is pretty cute ... bosseva as well .. i cant fucking think of a 5th help. meiryl? also i like bosselot but specifically for how stupid fucked up they are

Character I find most attractive: the boss strangelove eva (specifically big mama) or mgs4 meryl :P

Character I would marry: MERYL !1 GIRLFRIEND FOR ME NOW itd be the boss or strangelove but i would never break them up like that.

Character I would be best friends with: STRANGELOVE !! together we will kill huey mwah. or para medic even if she is insane we will watch movies together. slay

a random thought: i think about that post about otacon being the one to carry out the boss' will without even knowing every single day. Oh my god. wauh. ok hang on one second i found it. AUHHH

An unpopular opinion: rising mid as fuck and the fans make me hate it. also i um. dont really care a lot for bb and the bb focused games sorry. like i get the point and mgsv's visuals+gameplay do slay but bb as a character i didnt really find myself invested in a lot and the weird hero worship some of the fandom has for him does NOT help LOL. like the people around him (ocelot eva miller eli etc) were way more interesting . also EVEN MORE unpopular opinion as a result of this ... mgs3 isnt really all that for me and even though its objectively pretty shit mgs4 is one of my favourites (behind mgs1 and ghost babel)

My Canon OTP: STRANGEBOSS !!!!!!! THANKS FOR THE LESBIANS KOJIMA!!!!

My Non-canon OTP: calling otasune noncanon feels so sickening but i need to face reality. so otasune

Most Badass Character: Hrmm. hrmmmmm. ok its a bit out there but otacon. after the shitty childhood that he came out of pretty um.. (gestures at the whole making a nuclear weapon thing) convinced he/his family was cursed etc etc. forming philanthropy, adopting sunny, basically ending the cycle that his grandfather and father started+perpetuated and fulfilling the boss' will :) just makes me happy. hes great. also he got to marry solid snake at the end of it all so like slay? like hes not badass in the usual sense of the word but his character development and evolution is incredibly badass to me. next step: therapy

Most Epic Villain: i dont think you can call a lot of them epic on account of every mgs villain being goofy as fuck. BUT. liquid ocelot as a villain in what was (supposed to be) the conclusion of the entire series was pretty fucking awesome though

Pairing I am not a fan of: pbbb. umm. i dont really care for snake/fox im way more emotionally invested in fox/gustava personally (still upset she didnt get mentioned in mgs!!!!!!!!! RAHH.) also johnny/meryl was so out of nowhere i still do not understand it like its funny as fuck but JOHNNY??? IT SHOULD BE ME WITH MERYL!!1 ME !!!!!!!

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): arhg. raiden. i mean gestures at rising. this could also count as unpopular opinion but i preferred him as inexperienced and a little stupid i mean even then the direction they were going in in mgs4 was pretty good with him being jaded and feeling alone. and then rising was just. huah ?!?! what ?!?!?!? also. um. ok naomi. mgs1 naomi was so so fucking good ok her speech at the end slays i loved everything about her can you imagine my shock and dismay at her doing all THAT in mgs4 ?!?!? like i could write a 50 page essay on how it fucks up her (and otacons LOL) entire character development ALSO WHY WAS FOX LIKE NEVER MENTIONED DESPITE THEM LITERALLY GOING BACK TO THE PLACE WHERE HE DIED BTW I THOUGHT SHED HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT THAT. but honestly just the thing i hate about it all most is at the end of it all shes framed as like.. the hero. using emma+sunnys code to save da world or whatever and i guess maybe that speech was supposed to reflect her mgs1 speech but it just doesnt work when mgs4 didnt give her half of that nuance. her morals are still so ??? to me, her and vamp was such a WEIRD choice, her and otacon was um. ok look i know the writers 100% didnt mean to portray otacons csa as that at all but like it is ... anyway having a csa victim be once again manipulated via sex and not really talk about it was just ?!??!! guys ?!?!? anyway AGAIN if all of that was portrayed as nuanced as it should have been. like naomi doing what she had to to save the world and struggling w her own morals. which it IS but we learn this only in that fuckign speech for like 1 line. like its jut bad. ok to end this half the women in mgs were done horrifically but we all know that. sorry for the wall of text i love you

Favourite Friendship: SNAKE AND MERYL funny as fuck whenever she insults him in mgs4 like deserve. sorry snake. ok no WOAH though i just loved mgs4 meryl entirely even though she definitely couldve been written a bit better, like her talking about how she used to admire snake so much and now hes just BITTER and OLD like ohhh its so slay. like i dont know if you could even call it a friendship but the way they clash entirely and debatably the only place where they can agree on things and work together is in the context of the battlefield ITS SO GOOD

Character I most identify with: otacon D:

Character I wish I could be: similar to utena NONE i would not put myself through that.

AGAIN REST UNDER THE READMORE GO!

otasune time

002 | Send me a ship and I will tell you:

When I started shipping them: again i was aware of them before the games because (points at dmitri) so i guess like always

My thoughts: GRAHH. the way theyre like all but canon like kojima just say the word. that cigarette lighting scene in mgs4 WHEW. like the way they invented love its just crazy to me like really. theyre everything to me.

What makes me happy about them: everything :) the way theyve both grown as people over the years... i already talked about otacons character development but SNAKE TOO!! him finally letting people in .. finding a place for himself OUTSIDE of the battlefield .... its all so WAUGHH. like they just work off of eachother so well. love wins. gay marriage. slay. bursts into tears

What makes me sad about them: mgs4 that is all. they had so little time together. i spend half the time watching the game yelling ITS NOT FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS NOT FAIR

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: umm i dont read a lot of fic to be honest so i guess standard fanfic complaints. also more of you should write about mgs4 there is so much untapped potential.

Things I look for in fanfic: again. WRITE ABOUT MGS4.

My wishlist: MGS4 OTASUNE !!!!!!!!!!!! BECOMES A WEREWOFL.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: sorry they are simply endgame to me.. i cant think of anyone LOL

My happily ever after for them: snake gets cured post-mgs4! how i dont care he just is. gay marriage becomes real. together they raise sunny and grow old together and everything is peace and love on planet earth :) god bless

STRANGEBOSS TIME!

002 | Send me a ship and I will tell you:

When I started shipping them: ok not until i actually got around to pw! dmitri you mentioned a few times but i didnt realise until then to be honest

My thoughts: AGAHRHGHGHGHGHGHGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. GOD. GOD. lesbianism. women. they are genuinely just everything to me. how can a relationship be so fucking powerful and tragic when you only ever hear about it from one side. Oh my god. AUH.

What makes me happy about them: canon lesbians in my metal gear games in the fuckass 2010s :) ok no but the way strangelove talks about the boss with such open earnest love. like i just. wauh. listening to her tapes is just. WAUH.

What makes me sad about them: i mean everything. as strangelove said they were just ships passing in the night :( THEY SHOULDVE HAD MORE TIME !!!!!!!!!!!

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: again dont read fanfic a lot but ive checked and theres not a whole lot for them at all anyway LOL

Things I look for in fanfic: any strangeboss fic to begin with would be nice. if you have recs give them to me. i'll cry

My wishlist: umm.. again more content of them in general. konami youre shit the least you could do is make a strangeboss spinoff.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: umm idk considering they both die LOL. bosseva is a fun ship but honestly i dont think strangelove ever really got over it so i cant see her with anyone else in a serious relationship

My happily ever after for them: isnt it crazy how they both managed to fake their deaths and now live happily in some random country away from the horrors of war? like woah!

STRANGELOVE TIME!

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:

How I feel about this character: man what dont i feel about her. shes amazing. shes bitter shes heartbroken shes dramatic as fuck and shes a badass. like its tragic but tell me creating a whole ass ai based off your dead girlfriend in the fucking 70s isnt slay as fuck? women in stem strong!

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: THE BOSSSSS. as i said b4 i dont really see her with anyone else tbh

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: ok yeah there .. isnt a lot. i wish her terrible and awkward relationship with bb had been explored more though like the way she just HATES him at the start is amazing.

My unpopular opinion about this character: uhh.. yeah idk shes not really talked about enough for me to know if any of my opinions ARE unpopular lol. a shocking amount of people see strangeboss as unrequited so i guess my unpopular opinion is that they were definitely both in love LOL

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: just give her more relationships tbh... i already talked about bb but like do you think she knew ocelot was the boss' son ... what did she think of him shed probably dislike him for doing the complete opposite of the boss' will (though in the end he does help take down the patriots so liiike?) ... i would pay millions of dollars for them to interact it would be atrocious. in general i wish shed been given just a little more depth outside of the boss (like give me more about how she grew up!!! what kind of mother was she to otacon!!! and ps i wish hed spoken about her even though ik she wasnt even a thing before the solid snake era wrapped up) though ig that was the point considering she was so consumed with grief... but yk. shrugs.

Favorite friendship for this character: again idk. GIVE HER MORE FRIENDS.

My crossover ship: again i dont do crossovers. SHRUGS!!

INTRODUCTION—

i’ve been a tumblr user since 2015, middle school, and yet i have, not once, attempted to post. so here i am now, 2023, almost out of highschool, finally picking up this goddamn cursed app out of the trenches. the trenches of apps that were EXTREMELY close to being offloaded for storage saving… thats how much i used it

and now, motivated by my partner (unknowingly) to give a single shit abt this app, here i am making an introduction post.

so first off, im robbie, zara, whatever. two names because im genderfluid and have fought and been annoyed of the name i had been given at birth, only to start accepting it again when i had finally been accepted with my chosen name. i make my own problems. hence, i use both, i don’t care anymore.

i go by any pronouns, i used to have a preference but i realized…

1. theres too many people in this world that aren’t going to care about what i want, and im tired of pushing that, not that its not awesome TO push that agenda, but personally its not something i have the energy for. 2. i literally feel comfortable with one pronoun one day, and then i don’t the next, so why even bother. and im not going to bother with making people ask what im comfortable with that day, because chances are, i don’t know myself.

another awesome thing, im gay! lesbian. i fancy all types of women and don’t plan on stopping. particularly adore handsome women, or handsome people in general, that can also be cute and pretty. (is it obvious enough my lesbianism is fluid? ofc no men, but ykw i mean.)

and most importantly, INTERESTS.

i have so many that im not sure i can name every single one to count, but i’ll make a list anyway

-splatoon, mario, legend of zelda, animal crossing, pokemon, anything studio ghibli, sailor moon, vocaloid, utaloid, demonslayer, fate series, black butler, soul eater, anohana, orange, bloom into you, five nights at freddys, DUNE, sanrio, genshin impact, cookierun kingdom, identityv, hermitcraft, grian, mumbojumbo, goodtimeswithscar, minecraft, cavestory, momodora, garfield, poetry, anime(not like that), nintendo, gaming, reading, art, painting, biology, science, marine biology, cephalopods, sharks, sea bunnies, princess jellyfish, monster high, the magnus archives, markiplier, gab smolders, roblox, the backrooms….and the list goes on!

basically, anything i repost, im interested in, and its cool if you are too, so if you bother to read this, and see i like anything that you like, i’d appreciate it if you gave me a follow, though there might not be much i post…

particularly, i would post art, fanart, or random thoughts, on the rare occasion that i do.

Who are your top 5 babygirls I need to know

this is the funniest pity icebreaker you could have sent thank you yasmin. i will take the bait

when i was thinking about it, i realized i'm not actually sure i know what babygirl means nowadays... is it just pathetic men? does there need to be an element of "...and he's my little boyfriend <3" to it? honestly it's very rare for me to consider any male characters my "boyfriend" or "husband" so i will focus instead on which of them are most moe

1. fate's oberon of course... he IS my designated anime husband. i won't go too into spoiler territory for him, but he's quite literally a disgusting little freak enamored with the idea of having a wife who actually likes him. i think that's a universal sort of appeal. he has awesome voice acting! his design rules! he's a huge asshole BUT he is really kind in his own way! he can't be honest! his valentine's event takes you to a shitty apartment that looks like a fucking landfill! he's perfect!!! his swagless looks and cringefail personality captivated me from the moment i first saw him. he wins the category of "the lesbian's husband"

2. i'm in the middle of a big enstars phase rn so i HAVE to say eichi. the grip he's had on me since 2016-2017 is crazy... he literally redefined my taste in anime boys. there's no other character in this world that allows me to rocket back and forth between laughing about how nasty he is and fervently wanting to defend him from people who hate him for being nasty. kind of a "nobody's allowed to dunk on him except for people who love him!!!" situation... every time i ever stepped away from enstars it was because i get really down about how weird people are about him!! read fine events!!! he committed war crimes but he was soooo cute while he did it so you have to be nice to him or i'll cry. he wins the category of "the first hill i'd ever die on, the only man i'd ever die for"

3. KUJA FINAL FANTASY!!!! I COULD FIX HIM!!!!!!!!!!! that's all. he wins the category of "i could fix him"

4. jin kisaragi from blazblue. i have said truly truly wretched things about this man that i am too ashamed to ever repeat. but a tetsuya kakihara guy with a terrible personality, a pretty face, and a skintight black bodysuit is undeniable. he has a beautiful girlfriend and yet spends his games looking like an idiot with his fucked up siblings. he wins the category of "i wanna put this man in predicaments"

5. did you know that i apparently don't have a single fire emblem man i'm able to confidently call my babygirl? it's crazy... my fire emblem favs are firmly in the son category. like i thought maybe reyson from fe9-10 or arvis from fe4? but it just doesn't feel right... so instead i'm going with caim drakengard for no deep reason. i just think he's the funniest ever. i hope he's happy with his dragon spouse. he wins the category of "(jessica rabbit voice) he makes me laugh"

[helpfulbug]

miss cordelia for the opinions game? 💅

hiiii solis^_^ and yippieee buffy character!!!

I'm obsessed with their arc: gahhh. early buffy was so mean to cordilia but she made it out!!!! I love that she starts to confront her behavior while still in high school & then starts to deal w stuff differently on angel. the realization of ur not being the center of the universe and how grueling adult existence can be but still chosing to stay positive and actively supporting ppl that need help!!!!!

they got done dirty by the fans: I mean. some ppl just think of her as a high school bitch. lots of mutuals are cool ofc but in a wider fandom sense. mannn. also the virgin vs whore discourse w buffy and her is fucking crazy

they got dirty by the creators: do I even need to say it. cordilia and her actress had a time on that show. I really think she works on angel but it just shows they had no idea what to do w the character after High school was over... also I'll talk about it in a bit. BUT SEASON 5. SEASON 4. ATS WRITERS ITS ON SIGHT

wasted potential: AGAIN. she got a lot of awesome character development but then the ats writers remembered they hate women I guess. also she shouldve fucked a woman at least once. she is so lesbian to me its not even funny.

not enough screen time: SHE DESERVED TO BE IN S 5. we had her and spike in the same room I needed 6 hours of this shit

they work better as part of a dynamic: I think cordilia is strong enough to stand on her own as a character but just dialogue wise she's more fun w someone to bounce off of

constantly listening to songs: well u know me. making playlists ofc. it's so hard to not put modern stuff on one for cordilia tho. Maybe I'll do it this once

they've never done anything wrong: just putting this down bc the writers continued to punish her for her hs bitchyness as if we weren't all insufferable cunts at age 15. yea she wasn't nice but she wasn't as morally corrupt as other characters that get farrr more grace from fans and creators

[ravynfyre]

the "brotherhood". it's always the fucking "brotherhood".

national fallen firefighters foundation shares a documentary about LAFD station 9, and suggests that every firefighter in the country watches it. started watching it, but only made it a few minutes in, because the whole intro is guys from 9 talking about the "brotherhood" and the "camaraderie" and the "closeness of the fire family" and how every day was just so awesome because of all that...

and that's not what i experienced in my 12 years as a full time firefighter. but i had tits, and i wasn't the "cute one" or one of the lesbians, but i'm sure that had *nothing* to do with how some days i dreaded going in to the firehouse so much i got physically sick. i'm sure that that has nothing to do with the scars i have from being assaulted with fireworks, or the joy of having one of my first captains tell me that he "didn't believe that women should be there", so I'd best "stay the fuck out of the way if I didn't want to die". for the record, the "cute one" was just told by him to sit down and shut up and keep to herself, rather than having her life literally threatened... but apparently i *imagined* those threats (yeah, that's what the "cute one" said to me... couldn't even get the other women to back me up). just like i *imagined* the third degree burns i got from my own fucking academy classmates setting off bottle rockets in my fucking lap. or the battallion chief that night *laughing* at my bloody injuries and walking away.

i wish that i hadn't been married at the time, so i could have pretended to be a lesbian. they were afraid of the dykes... afraid that they'd get their asses sued if they so much as sneezed in their direction. i was the only non-lesbian, non-attractive woman on the job, though. that made me fair game.

so, yeah. i won't be finishing that documentary. when my own "brothers" couldn't be fucked to so much as send me a sympathy card when my dad died, when my house burned down, when i lost everything... when i wasn't even allowed to attend the funeral of one of the guys i went through paramedic school with, and who really *was* a real Brother to me, because I "didn't belong there"...

nah. stick your "brotherhood" up your ass, folks. because it *is* a BROTHERhood, and *sisters* need not apply.

.

.

(tonight brought to you by the fact that my shoulder is a worse aching ball of shit than usual, and all that "we are a family you wouldn't understand" shit was quite frankly triggering in a very real and painful way)

and as a post script to the women out there who are working at becoming firefighters... it's better now than it was 10+ years ago when i left. but just watch your six, because you have tits, which means that you really can't trust anyone else to watch your six, until you can. and if you end up in a shithole like i was? document. every. fucking. thing.

you never know when you might end up needing it.
