after attempting to commission art of boba fett without his helmet, i am forced to consider that a good number of artists, subconsciously or not, cannot accept that temuera morrison has always been hot despite his lack of european features, and honestly this explains a lot about the fucking travesty that is every single clone's face in TCW and TBB

Eh fuck it. I'll just make The Discourse Post and just not have it be a fucking text essay.
One of my biggest issues with TME/TMA discourse is how much its based on assigning who is affected by oppression, in ways that are just FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG ACTUALLY.
If your method of analyzing oppression is built on a premise where you if you met the author of "I Am A Transwoman. I Am In The Closet. I Am Not Coming Out." you would look her directly in the eyes and say "You aren't the target of transmisogyny, actually" then quite frankly... your method of analysis sucks shit.
My OTHER big issue is... every fucking post about it sounds like this fucking tweet tbh.
Yeah, I'm sure that the dickhead looking to curbstomp someone who falls outside of gender norms entering a public restroom, is gonna go "Oh! You are a tranny with LADY PARTS! My mistake!"

i'm sorry but the bible in "navajo" on the prehistoric alien space ship with 'healing powers' on the ivory coast is a thought-terminating, credibility ending, suspension of disbelief destroying mytharc event for me. It wasn't the super soldiers or the messiah babies or the experimental brain surgery, or the reproductive harm/experimentation - which had been a plot point in the horror all along -all of that I can actually kind of justify to myself and make sense of in a scifi setting.
But we know too much about how and where the Tanakh and the Xtian Bible were made and studied, and too much about when and how proto indigenous peoples of north america culturally and linguistically evolved - which isn't to say we know a lot about it, we don't! but even in the lat 90s we knew too much for that set of thoughts to hang together! Even in a scifi world with paranormal super powers and Alien DNA!
and to be frank, it is perilously close to approving the 'xtian expansionism, Manifest Destiny, "Indians must be converted"' ideology of the American frontiersman of the 18th and 19th centuries.
Basically, after mid season 6, the mytharc on TXF becomes a non-entity to me because I cannot accept those Plot Facts and live with myself. Or at least, I only bother dealing with a highly edited set of plot components. Character arcs after that, yes, Mytharc, no.

With the end of of the event slowly approaching, I just need to say that... listen, Lantern Rite of 2024 was good, but I will hold the ending scene of Lantern Rite 2023 up to the skies like it's Simba into perpetuity and then some more. Not because it was my first Lantern Rite, but because it's everything that represents Liyue in every possible way. The goofiness of Hu Tao and Xinyan (listen, I know, it wasn't the greatest song, but even that has grown on me), the Qixing, Baizhu and the wonder on Qiqi's face that should be what everyone looks like when they first see the lanterns in the night sky, Xiao, the ascension of the lanterns into the skies, the crowd, Yaoyao's excitement (!!!!), Ganyu's little lantern, everyone, everyone. Ugh, 'May the year ahead be a blessed one - I believe it shall be' (the faith in his people, stop it), CLOUD RETAINER, the orchestra, Madame Ping's zither after the entire storyline, THE ORCHESTRA!! I'm fine about this game, I promise.
I just really love this game, and I really love Liyue.
P.S.: I'm still going to badger people for Lantern Rite threads.
