BALDUR'S GATE 3 (2023) dev. Larian Studios

i need well meaning cis people to stop attemping to steelman trans healthcare conversations because it basically always ends with them just lying about easily checkable things "no minors are getting irreversible treatments" wrong not true "no minors are having surgery" also false, like instead just say the truth: currently some minors (few, but some) are able to access hrt that will have some irreversible changes on their body, some (even fewer) minors are able to access surgery.

the counter to transphobes screaming "these kids are being irreversibly changed" isn't "no children are accessing this care" it's "puberty is also an irreversible change" and "i think under 18s and even under 16s should be able to make medical decisions actually"

"no minors are accessing this care" means that transphobes can easily point to the examples of minors who are accessing that care, which just make us look like liars. sometimes teenagers and children need to make medical choices on their own. i think a 14 y/o should be able to get an abortion. i think trans kids and teens should be able to have the approriate care, which for some will just be like, picking a new name or haircut, and for some, sure, could be surgery.

Quoting myself from yesterday, when I was looking for the clips for 3 hours;

“Do you know how hard it is to find soft clips of a man that looks like as if someone tried to draw a human from memory and moves like a Looney Tunes character?”

since I've seen your post about complaints about mcsm characters writing I have a question what's your thoughts on Jesse character writing in game?

Oh btw I'm in love with your champion Jesse au it's everything I wanted from the game and your writing is amazing i can't wait for more

actually i’m quite ok with jesse’s! he’s determined, capable, will drop sass when deserved and is also just a silly guy!! his personality shines through no matter what option you pick and ofc outside of those options as well- i think they did good for a protagonist whose story and dialogue delivery can vary so much from player to player. like everyone has a different version of jesse they perceive but the core character traits are still very much there. is this anything

i think the only thing is that he doesn't have much opportunity to be the one that needs comforting, it's always the other way round. i mean, all that responsibility and experiences has gotta weigh heavy on him. so i just turned that to him keeping it to himself so others don't worry and can still rely on him. yay angst!

Rereading the manga. And I love how Clara is allowed to be weird and silly, while still being able to develop her magic and get stronger.

I am more used to western animation then anime nowadays, which is definetly where wacky concepts but serious characters thrive (like 90% of Once Piece characters), so I forgot how it feels to let silly characters be silly for this long. A lot of media keeps sending them to the edgy route if they want to develop the plot... Not awful, but they loose this chard of themselves.

It's nice that Raim worked with Clara on what she got, and not on what she didn't, during pre-harvest. That the effort went on building upon her bloodline magic and the appeal of childhood and playfulness (im not talking dirty shit, this is about the Toy Box spell, the please God don't get it twisted) instead of going on a sensual route that would be very off and forced on her character.

It's nice that other characters, and the world itself, acknowledge that she's not all dumb, she has a weird logic. And that logic is just as valid as any other, like how we see in the Heartbreak arc. She didn't fail because her logic was nonsense, because her plan worked, but because Stolas had the high ground against her. (she quite reminds me of Maddie from EAH in this way, iykwim.). You can also see that in a great display during the Music Festival arc, where there's this 1 chapter about Clara and Azz learning each other ways as to work better together, and how after that Azz is more understanding of how she thinks and, and how some of the weird things she says makes full sense in context.

I'm all here for a Clara centric plotline at anytime soon, I think is well over at this point. I want to see her have more relevance to the overall story. Or a deeper character exploration that's beyond 2 chapter length. Anyways, we love Clara in this blog.

de fans, let me hit you with a horrible poll:

I'm rewatching Blue Eye Samurai and this scene reminded me why I don't trust Taigen so far. His attitude in this scene very much tells that Taigen doesn't give a fuck about Akemi's very earnest love and just wants the fame that comes with marrying her. This would also explain why he is so comfortable abandoning Akemi just to find Mizu and have his revenge, despite her pleas to remain with her.

I think he has a bit of a change of heart at the end of the series not because he realizes he loves her but because he's gone through so much that now he too wishes to have a peaceful life. But by that point, Akemi is fixated on becoming great, and honestly I don't judge her decision to leave Taigen behind at all.

2023 ITALIAN GP : Qualifying

GEORGE: Yeah none of that [looking like Cillian Murphy and Jack Grealish] was intentional. I couldn't be bothered to get a haircut during the break, and then I went for my first run after the break, and my hair was in my eyes, so I had to put a headband on. I put my headband on, and when I took it off, it sort of like, did the pineapple sort of look. And my girlfriend was like "yeah, I quite like that". I'm still struggling with the consistency, like one day it looks alright...

*favorite = the power they hold/held over sam’s life/body/mind/soul compels you the most.

**the word “evil” is being used in jest here; I am not actually passing judgment about the morality of any of these characters. put that out of your mind entirely please <3

technically gabriel belongs on this list but I don’t care about him plus I ran out of slots.

had a convo w my mom this morning and we talked about how traditional toxic masculinity just seems to be mostly a fucked up eternal competition where men are expected to constantly be defending their masculinity by taking other men down, and if they ever slip up they also get forced down and stomped on. like ive seen people talk about women always feeling the need to appear "sexy" even alone but i feel like a line could be drawn between that and men feeling the need to constantly be asserting their masculinity, as if even alone (for example, when using shampoo) if they aren't competing well enough they will be punished. but for some reason (hyperagency) people treat that as like. men just being weird and pedantic on purpose instead of a reaction to constantly being sent the message "you are running a race and if you ever trip up or falter you will be trampled and you will deserve it for being a failure".

How often was Robin that someone?

[robinsonjnicks]

I might have watched 'Madame Web' and 'Turtles All the Way Down' recently and you were amazing in both. You're so talented. Also, I must admit, you're pretty cute too. How's it feel being young in the business? Having a nice time with it all? [ @isabelafame ]
