fresh faces, persistent love for life, yearning for romance: you're sweet romanticism. sweet romanticism entails kind, caring words and love that tastes like strawberry shortcake. it's letting the warm sunshine hit your skin and noticing that you feel the same way when you hold their hand, it's taking photos of each other, ones that paint them in the best light and capture every feature of theirs that you’re so in love with. you're able to see the true beauty in life, and are always the first one to stop and notice how the sky's shifted colours or how the birds seem to be chirping a bit more today. your idea of love can be a bit sappy, and you may not always feel like you're the most deserving of the beautiful love you have for others, but you are, and you are an incredibly thoughtful person with a wonderful and caring heart. don't be afraid of a bit of sweet love, just because it's beautiful doesn’t mean it's shallow or worthless.

Ya know the english language is generally fine and all but y'all just don't have decent words for some german essentials
For example I will never not hate the english word for Brötchen
I mean I know if I say either bread roll or bun people are gonna generally understand what I mean but neither of those words actually encompass the full range of german Brötchen
To me this is a bread roll:
And this is a bun:
But both of those words do not feel correct for any of these things:
Those are proper Brötchen and calling them bread roll or bun just feels so wrong
trans women are not listened to because any connection to femininity makes their viewpoints "less valuable" by misogynists
trans men are not listened to because any connection to femininity (even in the past) makes their viewpoints "less valuable" by misogynists
trans women are demonized because any connection to masculinity (even in the past) makes them "dangerous and predatory" by radfems
trans men are demonized because any connection to masculinity makes them "dangerous and traitorous" (or infantilized for being "corrupted") by radfems
nonbinary people are forced into one of these two categories because of what either of these groups perceive their "true sex" as, regardless of whether or not it's true, because "Only Two Genders" and "We Can Always Tell" (nevermind the fact that gender is unquantifiable and they can almost never reliably tell in my experience lmao) and then completely dismissed as "not real", "faking it", "dangerous", or "confused"
all forms of transphobia joined at the hip, and exist because of the same root problem: gender/bioessentialism. there are different types affecting different groups of people, and those types are separate with different consequences, but it's all the same motivation: the upholding of the strict, sex-based gender binary, which not only ignores trans people but forces intersex people into categories that often do not fit them
so when a fellow trans person tries to recreate or uphold what they were fed by a society largely created by those who wish to see them dead, my heart hurts a little for them. it's a poisonous idea that has spread like wildfire, and the only way to stop it is to construct a fireproof home, not to build a shack of wood and pray the embers have died. they haven't. they never have, and they never will so long as flammable homes keep burning down
Taliesin on 4SD: "Orym is the only one in this group with a working moral compass."
Ashton: Never take copper. You take gold regardless, and silver if they're an asshole, but you never take copper.
Ashton: It doesn't matter if the Ruby Vanguard are making good points about the gods. They're hurting innocent people to get what they want, and that's reason enough to stop them.
Ashton: *is super apologetic and upset that they have to knock out Elder Barthie to protect him from being discovered by the Imperium*
Ashton: Remember that we're here as guests. We are going to follow the instructions of the people who have already figured out what they need.
Me: *side-eyeing Ashton real hard* Orym’s the only one with a working moral compass? Mm'kay. 🤨
I love how warriors is the one who always asks paramedic-style questions when someone’s hurt
He’s asking questions not just to distract, but to see how bad the wound has impacted mental functioning “maybe we should be worried, because that’s not what I asked”
Calling by name to draw attention, asking easy questions…
Like look at his face in each panel, how closely he’s watching while talking to assess the damage
He’s always the one taking action in first aid (though obviously he can’t do magic stuff like hyrule but outside of that it’s him)
Wars is a captain, he’s trained and has had to take care of wounded, so he knows how to take care of not only the physical but the mental impact of injuries as well, and he always comes through for it.
