There's an ask in my inbox from months ago that was sent to me by a Christian who was in a downward spiral because they enjoyed my book but also saw homosexuality as a sin. I decided not to answer because I couldn't decide what approach to take (I try to be really patient and kind to everyone, but I also don't want to invite homophobia here and expose my followers to it). And I think it's probably better for this person to just sit with their feelings.

Either way, I hope they're doing okay (and that they pick up the next book).

I need like. A Don't Make Me Tap The Sign about Alfonse Fire Emblem specifically about his character and how he's perceived sometimes. Like Book 7 Chapter 12 he's just like that. He's always been like that.

I feel like I've def said it more eloquently before probably in Book 5 (regarding Reginn and Fáfnir), where like. He Will try for and favor a peaceful solution, but if it's clear there's no way out without violence and killing the threat/adversary. He won't hesitate. He won't falter. Crit line literally references this actually, "Above all, the mission".

Like I feel like the difference between Alfonse just doing Alfonse things (most recent chapter Seidr having to kill Kvasir, no way out of it -- plus also even considering killing Seidr herself, if that were to end Gullveig) and the Letizia moment was like. The Letizia moment was a BOLD gambit he played, which is WHY it was so shocking in the story and as an audience member, and why I think it left such a deep impression. Still very in character for him and the way he thinks/problem solves on the fly, carefully evaluating the situation and what would be the best move with the highest rate of success. (THAT LAST BIT ACTUALLY........ he'll do this even with low rates of success, out of sheer stubbornness as well. Which is why I still stand by him being rash at times, a LOT of his rashness is disguised as "calculated risks" and he just has the willpower to pull it off. The worst-best type of guy to me LMFAO)

Going back a bit though, the Letizia moment also stands out as an example of how far Alfonse is willing to go to win, especially if his back is pushed against the wall. It gives you a FASCINATING glimpse into his character and into his mind. A lot of times Lif would be an enigma to me, beyond the basics, character wise. Like yeah I guess that would fuck up a guy. But his methods (working and making contracts with gods when especially as Alfonse he knows better than that??) would be inscrutable to me. But everything absolutely finally clicked when Alfonse made that gambit, playing to Letizia's personality and whatever preconceived notions she may have, that maybe Alfonse could find a weak spot in and take advantage of. Lif is doing the exact same thing. His judgement is maybe a little worse for wear on account of, well *gestures vaguely to all of him* but he's still very much doing The Same Thing.

LIKE. I'm def straying from my point which is. Alfonse isn't shy about having to resort to violence. It Is a resort. But if it has to be done, it will be done. Any damage control (such as Sharena's feelings -- she has CLEARLY been extremely upset these past chapters) can be resolved later. (This.... is also fascinating to me..... bc it's always been clear to me his loved ones are the people who ground him, who stop him from losing himself, from becoming cruel in his practicality and tendency for detachment. There Is his morality as well -- but his loved ones are a huge part in what keeps him kind.)

I guess what I'm really trying to say is. Hit me up next time Alfonse is playing 4D chess with the enemy or throwing himself in a ditch on purpose just to indulge his baby sister's current pet project. THOSE feel like standout examples of Alfonse Off The Shits (but still completely in character for him tbh), while like. The rest is just par for the course for him. Just another (especially traumatizing) Tuesday.

also like being not single and not NOT single but a secret third thing (intersection between intense selfship and introjection as part of a dissociative disorder) is so like. i don't get into a lot of the dissociative stuff because i feel much better having my privacy and it IS difficult to talk about, but also like. the fact that at this point it's kind of baked into my experience here is another reason i won't tolerate any of that like "ugh you're too serious about this it's mental illness" shit. yeah, it is, actually, and it's not a moral flaw and it's not my fault. i have nothing to be ashamed of for being mentally ill but people like this have plenty to be ashamed of for being. well, mean.

not sure if I personally agree with Aristotle about friendship tbh

Thinking about the thesis I read that argues that Doctor Faustus makes the case that education leads to damnation (i.e. becoming complicit in capitalism) by instilling bourgeois values and thus making you an interpellated subject

...which sounds like a much more reasonable argument summed up like that than it did in the actual piece. I still think it's silly and anti-intellectual but the summary leaves out the not very effective close reading of the contract sequence, which depends on the argument that the very act of making the contract makes Faustus' damnation irreversible. I feel like any reading of the play that depends on an eschatological point of no return is going to fall apart in the end and that's what I always come back to with criticism.

you ever think about "one brings shadow, one brings light" and how at the beginning of shadowbringers we're the darkness breaking apart (effectively) emet's light and then for the final fight it flips and we bring overwhelming light against emet's shadow

Troy Baker is one of those voice actors that's everywhere and you'd like to point and go "omg it's him!!"

But then you see how he tried to throw voice actors under the bus for the SH2/3 remasters and how Awful a job he did in SH2 as James after all the childish, embarrassing shit talking this talentless loser showed off in that game and on Twitter, and how he was such an overwhelming

cuck

for Konami, fuckin', Konami, during it

Helped Konami lead a Hate Campaign against the original Voice Actors because Guy Cihi, the OG Voice AND FACE of James Sunderland, The James Sunderland of SH2 and there's no possibility of debate, DARED to ask for royalties for both him and the crew, especially after Konami republished the games WITHOUT paying the OG actors and were planning to do it again with Troy Baker.

They had no contracts either because Konami is fucking evil.

And this piece of shit aided Konami in getting The OG crew's work FOR FREE after Guy Cihi actually got the old crew together to sign over EVERYTHING to "protect the sanctity of the game" Tough shit on that one because the game is Busted Head to Toe. VA can't save it.

This, whilst finding out

Konami Lost the Source Code

for the fucking games. Silent Hill. They didn't save the source code. Silent Hill. All of them.

Fuck Troy Baker. Gifuked you ladder pulling cunt. Couldn't have painted yourself in a worse light than pulling the ladder up on fellow VAs because your incompetant dumbass doesn't believe in Royalties. Fuckin. Doesn't Believe In Royalties For Voice Actors.

He Is a Voice Actor. Fucknut of a person.
