I can't stop laughing. With the amount of raging lesbians this game has been pumping out, even I'd be shocked out of a coma at the revelation that they made Ezra.
The amount of self restraint bluepoch must have to do to not turn him into a woman that they have to make it a joke. I'm dying.
Bonus points for Desert Flannel for single handedly being the reason for the misunderstanding, but doubling down how cool she is.

it's actually so fascinating to me that Brennan has created a character that maintains a pretty relaxed and mild-mannered demeanor and has said multiple times that the absolute Core of her is "FEAR" and how often we see this Fear manifest specifically in Avoidance; it really nails a relationship to that mentality where your brain fully Stops recognizing the emotion properly out of like, sheer self-defense from the stress of having to carry it all the time
I think this is also perfectly showcased in the way we tend to see Tula swing so suddenly from 'level and steady' to 'snarling Panic' and then back again - Just because your brain has detached itself from the Conscious Recognition of the emotion doesn't mean it can Actually stop itself from experiencing it. So the Fear is always there and always acting as a stressor, but because of that inability to Identify it there's no way to recognize or address it before that final straw hits and your bodymind jumps Straight into Full Meltdown Mode; but then once again, once you drop even a Little bit below that Peak Terror your brain ceases to process the emotion; it's like the most exhausting form of Poor Object Permanence in the world
And even if Tula is aware of this happening to her, that doesn't really make it any easier to deal with / address. Even if you're able to spot the symptoms Around the emotion -- chest pain, irritation, nausea, whatever -- because the Emotion Itself is basically impossible to find, you can't really Successfully Pin Down what the problem is OR a way to cope with it. If you can't figure out That You Are Anxious, then figuring out What Is Making You Anxious is impossible, which makes Find A Way To Make Peace With That incomprehensible. That's where the Avoidance comes in: you can no longer identify what might be a Dangerous Situation, which means that Anything New has a big potential to be Really Bad in a variety of ways (ranging "I don't Feel Good" to "Fully Lashing Out bc you've entered Fight/Flight and can't get out of it" to "Actual Outside Danger This Time") and that means the Only Way you know how to be Safe is to just Avoid Doing Anything New and Only stick to Familiar Situations, because anything unfamiliar is a monster of a gamble you don't know how to prepare for or cope with

You guys will never guess what my aunt got from this fish restaurant she went to... Granted, this is best told verbally, so bear with me.
So we're sitting in the car after having watched Blue Beetle and we're about to head up to the apartment when she's like, "Hey, quick question, what do these look like to you?"
And she pulls out these two round little packages.
In my brain, I'm like 'No...No... It can't be. No. Maybe I'm wildin'.' but I look at the back of one of them, and sure enough, I see the rolled up condom and I start laughing because, well, what the fuck, y'know?
And I ask her, once I'm able to breathe a little, where she got them from (because, like, how? And why?) and she replies that she got them from this fish place. Which....what?!!
There's two places that I know of that we get fish from and I'm pretty sure hell would freeze over before that type of shit would fly over there, so I ask her where exactly.
She goes on to say that they were in an open box on the counter in this fish restaurant that was having drive thru problems (so neither of the usual haunts) and she just thought that they were there for after you've eaten. Like a mint or something.
At this point I'm screaming.
Like, someone went inside of this fish restaurant on 26th Street and went, "oh, yeah, this place totally needs a box of variety One condoms. Get that Yelp rating up."
She asks me what I think they are again because I'm kinda losing my mind and I ask her what she thinks they are. And she goes, "...condamns", which makes me burst out laughing again because that's the funniest fucking way that I've heard someone say 'condom'.
She reiterates that she really thought that they were mints since that made the most sense.
Thankfully we got rid of them before my cousin could see them. His poor heart wouldn't take it. It'd jump right out of his chest.
