PSA: If Tav fails the weave scene…

So, I’m assuming that most players (like me) thought that you *had* to pass the “channeling the weave” scene with Gale in order to begin his romance. Makes sense, right? Gale is a learned scholar, he tells you magic is his life, so it’s understandable that even he might hesitate to romance you if you are unable to follow his simple instructions and share a moment with him.

…but nope! Nope. Of course Gale is so wonderful that even if you fail the scene, he’s still down bad for you, and to top it off? His response is one of the sweetest lines in the whole damn game.

If you are a Galemancer and you haven’t seen this before, please stop whatever you are doing, sit down, view his expression + hear his line delivery, and try not to pass out:

Tav: It was a pity your lesson in the Weave ended so soon - I was enjoying our moment alone. Do you think about us being alone again?

Gale: Do you?

Tav: Yes.

Gale: So do I. You see, I'm not a big believer in fate, but I do believe in serendipity.

Gale: Life is a tempest of events that sometimes we brace against, and sometimes embrace.

Gale: You're one such event that one day soon perhaps, I'd like to embrace.

what do you mean youre technically a detransitioner cause of terf bullshit?

it's a v long story but i detransitioned for a couple of years when i was 16/17, for multiple reasons but mostly because i fell into the blaire white/kalvin garrah chamber of "you have to be This way to be trans otherwise you're not real".

i was already Deeply insecure about myself and my 'passing' and i was led to believe that i couldn't want to wear makeup or skirts, and i couldn't choose not to have bottom surgery, and i couldn't do anything but bind for 12+ hours a day to the point that my ribcage is still misshapen. basically i thought that if i wasn't suffering enough doing 'feminine' things, i couldn't really be trans, so i should just go back to being a girl and suck it up.

the terf bullshit is because i'd seen a lot of terfs/detransitioners talking about the 'dangers' of testosterone and how it would turn me into a horrible ugly evil monster and how there was nothing worse than wanting to be a man. which combined with 'you need to fully medically transition to be valid at all' creates some very dangerous and upsetting feelings to cope with.

it also came from trying really hard to put myself in a little box before i realised that my sexuality/gender are very fluid and it's FINE for me not to have a label and just do whatever i want. when i was 19 or so i went back to using they/them (and eventually he/him) and changed my name again because even though i like doing 'feminine' things, i don't want to be seen as a woman.

tldr: i was conditioned by transphobic/terf rhetorics to think that i was being trans the 'wrong' way so i couldn't be trans at all, so i believed i must actually be a girl if i still wanted to do 'feminine' things. nowadays i am a transmasc who does feminine things because i don't give two shits about what any transmed prick thinks of me anymore.

You know what I find so funny? That I’ve come across a lot of people on TikTok that have something against this one account that posts pjo content. I do too, I mean I got into an argument with them because they kept saying percabeth is strained because annabeth made Percy feel suicidal. And I ended up blocking them because they made a story saying that percabeth shippers need to calm down in their comment section because we’re crazy or something like that. And I just wanted to scream like this isn’t because you don’t ship percabeth, it’s because you constantly bash annabeth, unintentionally but prominently make Percy this stupid victim that can’t feel for himself, and think pereyna and Perachel had better development (not to bash pereyna or Perachel shippers, but in canon, this is just obviously not true). And I thought I was the only one who had something against this person but now people are speaking up about it I guess and I think it’s so funny because I’ve BEEN having problems with them.

HEARTBREAKING: James Somerton DID plan to make a Disco Elysium video for his "fall" release

I saw some amazing spirk art by @parallaks-art on my feed and it brought my star trek obsession back to light, so I had to draw them!

and here's the screenshot I used as reference

Physically I'm here but mentally I'm clawing the eyes out of everyone who talks crap about their children on the internet and posts them in their most vulnerable moments for clout

Look who I have acquired

[thephouseplants]

I'm going to ask about something since I know you smart phandom phreaks (/af)

Might be able to give me answers.

So I very distinctly remember this person who made YouTube videos related to Dan Phil, they made videos talking about their coming out videos, and some other content about them. They had a pink background and wore a pink baseball cap(?) Had long straight dark hair.

I cannot for the life of me remember the channel name but I think the channel pfp was Stingly from lazy town (may be wrong)

I watched some of her videos in 2019 and enjoyed them. And yet I cannot find the channel or videos? If they deleted them for whatever reason, fair. I understand.

but now I feel like I dreamt the whole thing up. Please was this a real thing? Does anyone know what I am on about?

[lovecoreclownz-archive]

Oh god I just fucking realized something.

Gordon is in a heavy ass uncomfortable HEV suit the entire time. That thang is made of METAL. It's hazmat suit ARMOUR. It's made to withstand BULLET WOUNDS. That shit is heavy as balls you guys realize that???

He slept in it. Multiple times.

NO WONDER HE BECOMES MORE OF A DICK AS THE SERIES GOES ON HE'S IN MASSIVE AMMOUNTS OF PAIN IN A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION WITH A BUNCH OF PEOPLE HE DOESNT KNOW FUCKING AROUND AND NOT SEEMING TO TAKE ANYTHING (including himself!) SERIOUSLY!

For my chronic pain havers, picture this. The pain you have now, but you are also carrying several lbs of metal Armour on your body and trudging through toxic waste, there are alien creatures trying to kill you, you're seeing a fuck ton of people die all the time, your friends (who are seemingly immortal) don't take your mortality seriously and have died infront of you several times, AND YOU DONT HAVE A PROPER PLACE TO SLEEP!

You also get AMPUTATED at some point!

Like!!! No WONDER the dude was being a dick man!!! This isn't even to consider his already stated suicidal thoughts, any mental illnesses he may have (I think he's schizophrenic and a DID system) AND physical ailments like disability and chronic pain.

Now, granted, if we're doing a streamerman kinda thing like in source, you have to remember that Gordon acts JUST like everything happening is real to a certain extent. Like. He feels PAIN when the model feels pain. He's fully fucking immersed in the experience. Even when there's like. Outside stuff like stream he still seems to forget the world outside the stream EXISTS. (Also part of my schizo headcanon)

SO LIKE! YEAH IF I COULD FEEL THE PAIN THE MODEL WAS FEELING YEAH ID BE A BIT OF A BITCH TOO!!

Cuz like. I've found myself getting ANGRY at things I genuinely find funny during really bad chronic illness days. So I just. I understand why Gordon feetman is such a dick now.

Kinda weird question- do you have any links to people talking about Mira from ZTD and ableist stereotypes? I mentioned that I was uncomfortable with her portrayal but kinda fumbled it and made some other ND people in chat uncomfortable. I searched for various keyword combinations but most of what I'm finding is like "and not to mention the ableism with Mira" and doesn't elaborate lol.

Not weird at all! And uh, you see, there's a recent post I made where what I complain about is the very fact I've never seen anyone post too in-depth about her at all, I'd love to see posts that do elaborate on that but I do not have any that I know of right now, sorry :/ hopefully someone else who sees this can point to one? Okay!! After some tag searches I have found exactly one post who kind of gets into it I like this take still would love to see. more than just one but hooray

And like though I complain I couldn't elaborate much on it myself I don't think, I believe most of the posts people make about Saito from aitsf would apply since it's a different uchikoshi take on the very same trope of "emotionless characters who cannot function without killing others" I guess he's a worse portrayal though since she's at least not stated to get reward brain chemicals when killing people and I guess her case also has the added layer of "femme fatale" to it? Which either makes it less bad or worse depending on where you approach it from As I said I am not doing a good job of being coherent on this oh and also there's her being "redeemed" and "cured" in the epilogue which in on itself is kinda not great to imply it just goes away like that and honestly I personally don't even buy it I think she'd just be like oh okay Akane over here has like a thousand reasons to hate me after all that oh and what's that she's the leader of a super wealthy underground organization who's organized one of these death traps before yeah no I'm better off going to prison I'll be fine there lmao bye

But I'll say as an autistic person with relatively low empathy I usually see a character who just doesn't understand other people's feelings and wants to feel them too and is just trying to survive despite getting no help and I just kinda go hm. yeah. shout-out to roxas kingdom hearts shout out to mary from ib shout out that's why I started hyperfixating on media art helps me with understanding others a great lot and Mira is just in a story too badly executed for me to care or even begin to wrap my head around tbh like god she's so fucking terribly used as a plot device in every conceivable way that it makes it difficult to see past it and into what she could possibly be if it weren't for the stereotype of equalling low empathy with no compassion what's with her killing off screen in ways that wildly deviate from her stated m.o? why or how was she even in cahoots with Zero why was that a thing? Honestly her dynamic with Sean could have been better fleshed out could have done something interesting about robot child and his aspd big sis but we just kind of don't get any attention brought to the subject of emotions and the authenticity there of except for the "reveal"...

YOU KNOW WHAT that's probably one huge reason it feels so fucked up actually! Like the whole fucking game is written so you could experience it in whatever order you want and therefore Mira being a serial killer at all is something that though not very well hidden it also cannot be a topic of discussion or explored Ever ever because the player may not have seen the fragment where that is revealed yet- problem being the menu design of that game sucks so bad and practically everyone gravitates towards the same few more interesting looking thumbnails first and then the rest is kinda just there, I mean that is part of the reason A Lot of characters feel half-baked I think but also I think it definitely does impact perception of her character specifically probably The Most and then there's just the general not being given nuance not being able to see the minutiae of how that disorder manifests in her character aside from the killings about how she acts aside from being overly flirty trying to lure in Eric but that affects pretty much all of the new cast we don't have last names and in her case we barely have any backstory at all like Saito is a harmful stereotype sure but we get So Much Context for him that people still love talking about him and delving into different aspects of his life since we have that very well telegraphed in the narrative meanwhile for Mira all we can do is fill in the blanks guesswork that only highlights the worst aspects of the surface level portrayal we got and ultimately that people just don't care enough to dissect because there isn't much there character wise once you remove it

@delrcy i just think maybe things would have gone different if jack had a swaggy peach-colored half demon with lowkey violent tendencies on his show instead.
