#no i don't care-it's for the aesthetic

[ceemi]

these three but it's red dead redemption 2 (not shipping!! don't tag as a ship!!!!)

(technically an au co-ran w passion, but she doesn't know the game at all so literally everything is being decided by me lmao it's just her fault the au exists /pos /lh)

extra info:

this is a powerless au. sonic and shadow don't have superspeed, knuckles and amy don't have super strength, etc. they're just a lot faster/stronger than the average person

the master and chaos emeralds are folklore. whether or not they're real is yet to be determined

ogilvie renamed himself to sonic when he ran away

prower is sonic's last name

miles didn't know his name when sonic found him, so he dubbed him 'tails' while he tried to find his family. when he realized the kid didn't have one, he gave him the name 'miles,' but still calls him tails.

sonic is very aware that miles' name is now a pun, which is why he chose it. though, he makes sure that miles knows he could choose his own name if he wants to

amy only agreed to naming him miles due to the meaning behind the name (it means soldier)

while amy hates killing people and avoids doing so, she will not hesitate to end someone's life if they hurt her son

miles doesn't normally wear the coat and scarf (i just haven't given him another outfit yet lmao)

while they're still married, amy and sonic only wear their rings if they go into a town

there are normal horses and other animals in this au (i will make another post on everyone's horse if people care enough ✌️)

NO MORE ASSOCIATING THINGS WITH FEMMES ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE PINK!HYPERFEM FEMMES ARE GREAT AND I LOVE YOU CAMPY FEMMES WHO EMBODY PINK BUT ALSO JESUS CHRIST CAN YOU GUYS NOT GO MORE THAN ONE DAY W/O TRYING TO SHOEHORN FEMMES INTO BEING ONLY PINK UWU BABIES. I AM FEMME AS IN GRASS AS IN DIRT AS IN TREE BARK AS IN WEEDS SPROUTING THROUGH THE SIDEWALK CEMENT. FEMME AS IN GENDER NONCONFORMITY AS IN FUCK YOU MY FEMININITY IS WHAT *I* SAY IT IS. FEMME AS IN DEPTH AND DARKNESS AND WARMTH AND TERROR. FEMME AS IN CAVES. FEMME AS IN LIGHTNING. FEMME AS IN AN AMALGAMATION OF TRAITS THAT I HAVE DECIDED ARE FEMININE REGARDLESS OF WHAT SOCIETY SAYS. FUCK IS IT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND?!???

"Oh no, someone's attracted to the aesthetics of my -punk movement but doesn't know the praxis and history behind it like I do--"

OK. Tell them. Make it a teaching moment. Everyone who's in your movement learned the background from somewhere at some point, maybe this is that point for that person. Give them a jumping off point that they can dive into later.

"Oh but I shouldn't be responsible for teaching baby -punks about the history and the how-tos and--"

OK. Then don't tell them. You don't have to be responsible for teaching people with a budding interest in your group the ins and outs and how-tos. That's fair and valid! It can be a lot of work. Someone else will handle it

"But I'm annoyed that they would try to claim to be part of/be interested in my community without knowing all the details that I know after being in it for months/years/decades, they're dumb, they're posers, they're--"

OK. Then don't engage with them, if it's that bad. Maybe someone else will come around and tell them the history, maybe they'll pick it up on their own, maybe they'll just enjoy the fashion elements for awhile.

"But they shouldn't claim to be part of the -punk community if they don't know the--"

I feel like we have a few options here. People can either talk to them, share the history, share the values, share the praxis. Or they can just chase off anyone who even thinks about dipping a toe in their community, and then wonder why it's dying off later down the line.

I dunno, maybe I'm too naive and patient or whatever. But if people are entering your -punk spaces without knowing The Rundown of what you feel they need to know, maybe being nice about it and informing people instead of immediately assuming stupidity and malicious intent could help you make a new friend. Even the loudest voices in a space had to learn from somewhere, and not everyone has the luxury of being in the space as the History was Happening--whether it's an age thing or a not being aware of the space thing. Or maybe I just don't see what the big deal is behind people hating people who like the aesthetic of something and don't know the behind the scenes history about it yet.

Because I believe in the word 'yet.' No one comes into this world knowing everything about everything, and we're all constantly learning new things. I'm not gonna degrade someone and call them a poser for not knowing what I know. Because if it were me, interested in a scene but getting chased out and called a poser? I wouldn't hit the books and study up, I'd go 'that fuckin sucks, those people sucked' and then avoid anyone and anything having to do with it.

So chase people off and call them posers if you want. But if your community starts dwindling, don't be fucking shocked.

still not over the absolutely braindead take that "if you say brutalism looks dystopian, you care more about your aesthetic than people having homes!!!!"

like

can't criticize Shein or you must want their workers to be unemployed

oh you don't like that restaurant? guess you want the people eating there to STARVE

fuck both roses AND bread; nutrient-dense gray EnergyCubes would keep you alive so wishing for a better sensory experience is basically capitalist bootlicking

(I agree that considering Soviet-era brutalist apartment buildings in the context of "shit we need housing; put something up quick" is important for those specific structures- though I think that can coexist with "wow that's ugly" -but. this person did not stop there)

grell literally has everything. a cunty outfit. she's transgender. chainsaw. implied tragic backstory. she kills people for fun. her glasses have little skull charms on them. she's even bisexual. it's like god created the perfect character in a lab for me personally.

was reminded that people get riled up about this the way they get riled up about pineapple on pizza and honestly, as a knowledge org nerd, it is weird and unnecessary 😌

I'm honestly so tired of tiktok's approach to mental illnesses like it was some fantasy roleplaying game

What the fuck is a "dark empath" why the fuck is autism treated like +3 intelligence and -3 strength points, why is npd as a concept treated as some Big Bad dark overlord who wants to take over the world, why is trauma treated like a "character arc" what is going on

This. The hunger games author said she got the idea for her book when she was switching through her TV from seeing the news about the war in Iraq to a show of rich people showing off their wealth, this is the hunger games, children are being murdered by a terrorist parasite, they're bombing these innocent children as we speak. Do not stop talking about them. Do whatever you can, but don't stop talking about them.

yknow i don't have particularly strong emotions towards higuchi as a character (yet. I'm waiting on at least a small arc exploring her character more, maybe an ability reveal??) but oh my god she has the absolute best mayoi cards

Verosika sums up the long-lasting effects of toxic relationships & how they're NEVER a matter of "Good Guy vs Bad Guy."
