#tell me if anything else needs tagging

[goatedgreen]

i wasnt going to make a post beyond a simple support of shelby, and how brave she is for coming forward with her experiences, because many people have already said what needs to be said.

however i think i need to say a little as someone who has been a supporter of wilbur soot since his soothouse days. i've already articulated most of my thoughts in discord, so ill just post those for the rundown, but i want it to be known that despite my many years of idolising him, there is nothing left of that admiration now. i do not support him, and i will be unfollowing people who do, i think.

i think these messages sum up my thoughts pretty well, so i'll leave it at that. i just didnt want there to be any doubt i guess, as i'm known to a few people as a big fan of his. well, rest assured thats no longer the case.

shelby’s recent statement on twitter

[natjennie]

okay, bear with me this requires a lot of context. imagine that you wake up on a space ship with an alien species capable of telepathic communication with you. they are also capable of instilling you with the knowledge that everything they say is completely true, there is not a hint of uncertainty in your mind. they have weapons capable of obliterating earth pointed at the planet, and are forcing you to do one of two things in order to not fire. within the fiction of the scenario you are not being given the choice, but you the real you is picking which one of these things you'd rather have happen.

you must eat an 8 ounce serving of human baby meat, by default prepared like a steak (different preparations can be requested). you do not have to keep the meat down once you're done, but you have to get all of it in your body at one point. they do not provide any information about where the baby came from or how it died. if you complete this, they will deposit you back on earth and you will be free from legal repercussions of cannibalism, and it is generally agreed that you are also free from moral blame as it was against your will.

you will be surgically impregnated with a human embryo and must carry it to term and give birth. the embryo does not contain your dna, but otherwise you don't know anything about its origins. the aliens have advanced medical technology that gives you sufficient anatomy to carry and birth the baby, and keeps you healthy throughout, with no risk of long term complications or death. you have the choice to keep or give away the baby once you have given birth, and will be deposited back on earth.

if you refuse to comply in either situation, they destroy the earth and you are forced to live the rest of your life aboard the space ship as a prisoner, until you die of natural causes.

so,

Don’t think I ever quite said what my LGBTQ+ headcanons are for the boys, so these are my current thoughts! Always changing of course but this is what I feel most strongly right now.

Late to the party but here’s a frosty Tango Tek.

[toddtakefive]

thinking about todd and his resolve toward… not quite isolation, but being alone in a room full of people again. he goes along to the study room to sit on his own and do his homework, he sits at the poets table and follows along with what’s being said while keeping quiet, he goes to the meetings at all but doesn’t necessarily contribute (in fact, if you watch him when cameron is telling the story ‘from camp in sixth grade’, you can see that he recognizes it before any of the other poets but doesn’t voice it until they all have). he’s not alone, necessarily, if you want to get technical about it, he’s just lonely, and he’s generally okay with that. he doesn’t have friends and that’s fine, he doesn’t participate in class and that’s fine, he doesn’t have a relationship with his family and that’s fine—he could live without any real connection and he’d have been, more or less, fine.

the thing about when he says “i can take care of myself just fine!” is that he isn’t really wrong, you can infer that he’s been doing it his entire life anyway, it’s that ‘taking care of yourself’ isn’t the same thing as really living or being happy. todd’s an introvert, certainly, and even as he gets closer to the group he defaults to sitting quietly in the background, but he’s also denying himself community out of fear not introversion. todd isn’t friendless because he’s an introvert, although that definitely plays a part, he’s friendless because he pushes anyone that might want his company away. if anyone has every wanted for his attention in the first place. (neil’s unwavering interest in him is unique (even when it comes to the rest of the poets, who are fine with todd coming along and joining the group, but aren’t really hellbent on him being there in the beginning) and his refusal to accept it is a direct result of being so lonely growing up.)

there’s obviously something to be said about the implications of his parents neglect, and the more than likely fact that he grew up friendless, and how those both play a part in in him being so skilled at dodging social interaction/being so avoidant of it, but by the time we see him in the movie he’s all but accepted his fate as being alone his entire life. he’s already accepted being the family disappointment, and he’s already accepted he’ll never amount to anything, and he obviously doesn’t like it, but he’d have managed living with that knowledge without the confirmation that it was all wrong. would he have been miserable? almost certainly. but he’d have managed. he’d done it for that long already, anyhow.

"Why, someone is getting tired of my cooking,"

If y'all like good John Dory angst with some HickDory side severing, you should read AhkiKris's fic Guilty As Sin?

This particular drawling is based on the chapter 18 cooking scene!

[below the cut for a bonus yandere joke pic]

"They're probably wondering where you are. If Branch and I weren't on okay terms, he'd probably think I kidnapped you."

This is what happens when you make jokes about kidnaping and yanderes in the comments with the author lol

BTW They don't have tails or anything in fic so the actual ficart reflects that. This silly extra piece on the other hand is free game lol

engineer listen to me. you need to let pyro superheat the gunslinger. you need to watch it get covered in soot and heat up as pyro blasts it all giddily. you need to feel the heat, feel it grow hotter than you can handle. engineer listen to me you need to let the metal burn you you need to wince and feel the pain and tell pyro not to stop and let them hold your arm down as the fingers start to glow red. something something stress testing. and it NEEDS to be a psychosexual thing

If you're into creepypasta stuff and horror games, you don't get to come at people sideways about liking "gross" fictional ships.

How come you can like a faceless, child murdering monster and that's a-okay because obviously you don't think killing children is fine and dandy in real life, DUH, but as soon as it's someone with a ship you don't like, clearly they're fetishizing, glamorizing, and getting off to some heinous shit?? How can you be so close to getting it, and yet so far away?

We once dreamt that breaking free from our ancient home in the cosmos would allow us to escape the mass and pull of tyranny and trauma. We failed then, but perennial chaos offers us another chance: Can we launch with such speed that we glide, graceful or imperfect, beyond war and pain? Or is the truth more damning than that: Might we carry our own gravity with us?

i really don’t have words to phrase this properly but what I don’t see people discussing enough is how Shadowheart is actively still being abused and indoctrinated through the journey of the game.

Shar is in her head the WHOLE time. her thoughts aren’t even private to herself. every time she does or even approves of a good action her magic shock collar activates, and Shadowheart herself (who has endured this pain for years and, as a Sharran, has experienced extreme pain from other means as part of training and/or worship) says it hurts a LOT. Shads is happy about a little tiefling girl being saved from death? Shar literally tortures her for it right in front of you. and apart from saying that it hurts, all she does is move on because this happens all the time for her. and “pain is sacred to followers of Lady Shar”.

pain was a regular punishment too it seems, if you play her origin she has a flashback to being beaten with a rod by the Mother Superior as a child. and now she’s an adult it’s graduated to a direct painful punishment from Shar herself. and IT’S ACTIVELY HAPPENING. she isn’t only remembering the abuse, she’s living it right now.

and yet? she still approves of saving children and animals, or freeing the enslaved gnomes, or convincing Lae’zel to get out of the zaith’isk even after all their fighting.

in the Shadowfell Shar is whispering in Shads’ ear about how she’s going to be her chosen, her perfect little follower, her voice made flesh, everything Shadowheart has been told she should want, that was drummed into her since childhood. and it makes Shadowheart afraid. she should be strong and confident, not acting like a cornered terrier whenever Aylin speaks to her. you ask her if she really wants to do this, and even after Shar pouring these thoughts into her ear, the promises that were made to her, all Shadowheart can say is that she thinks so. telling her not to do it makes her snap and lash out, and she’ll even fight you if she’s pushed into that corner she got backed into, but even after she says she’ll fight you if you try to stop her, she can still choose the good path if you take a step back and let her handle it by herself. she’s confused and scared and has so many thoughts in her head that aren’t hers, and she doesn’t need yours adding to it. she needs to be given space to think by herself. and most of the time, if you allow her that space, she makes the decision herself to throw away the spear.

because Shar has been trying to eliminate the good from Shadowheart for forty years. she’s tried erasing it from her mind, tried beating it out of her, tried brainwashing her so all she knew was Shar’s embrace. but all it takes is having someone she can trust and she’ll defy the only thing she can remember in order to do the right thing. i’m eating drywall thinking about her right now
