Hello!! I followed you for your absolutely amazing Twisted Wonderland comics (thank you for making them, by the way-) but I saw you posting about something called Ride Kamens? I haven’t heard of it before, what’s it about? Or if that’s a bit much to ask, where could I find more info about it? It seems right up my alley 👀

Thank you!

thank you! :> :> :> (this is also for the other anon who asked about where to find it, I am honored to be infecting the world spreading interest in this silly game)

Ride Kamens is still doing prerelease marketing and isn't out yet; it's set for "early summer 2024", so a bit yet to go! similar to Twst, it's a mobile game about anime boys loosely based on an existing franchise (Kamen Rider), although it seems like it's going to be more standalone/won't require familiarity with Rider going in.

the (very) basic premise is that your player character has just taken over their late father's role as a secret agent, supporting the city's superheroes by running a secret base disguised as a cafe (plus you have a personal butler for some reason) (the reason is because it's amazing). you also have to help the heroes regain their lost memories, and it looks like it'll have a bit of a route/choice aspect there (not romance, just different endings to the character episodes depending on what you do). the details are kinda hard to tell at this point but the characters seem like a really fun bunch; there's definitely big "idiots with emotional problems" energy which I am extremely into.

all the official info is in Japanese only at the moment, but here's the website and the ride_kamens twitter! (though the twitter is sort of overtaken by posts about the AnimeJapan exhibit right now, whoops.) and I believe some people are already planning on doing translations for it too? lots to look forward to! :D

*me immediately after going through a terrifying and traumatic experience* haha yeah I guess it was rough but I'm fine now like I'm totally chill. It was kinda funny actually if you think about it

you know kosa is a horrible fucking idea when even the kids it's claiming to protect are rallying against it

we watched the famous much ado about nothing in preparation for macbeth, and the thing is... ive never seen it before (this iteration, i have seen other much ados...)

for some reason, for the longest time, until now, i kept waiting until the "right" moment, feeling like i'd know when it was and finally, at last, the moment has happened, and i have watched david tennant and catherine tate playing benedick and beatrice, and truly it was absolutely beautiful bisexuality in action the entire way through -- and the way this play balanced comedy and drama was fantastic. we've watched josie rourke's direction before and she's so pinpoint

the part where we go from the heartbreak of the wedding, to a hilarious love confession between benedick and beatrice to an incredibly intense demand that benedick kill claudio, and it's all sooooo alive! that's the thing about shakespeare, especially if you're trying to get in an audience who isn't so used to it, you need to get out of the stuffiness and yeah, certain lines won't be understood by all the audience, but they'll understand the beats if you map out those beats clearly, which is exactly what this one did with its Big comedy and Big drama -- not saying every production wants or needs that, but with these two actors it was the exact right choice

I think that catherine tate and dt nailed those shifts the best (of course they also have the most to work with) but most everyone got to have some of these beats for themselves. fascinated by their don john, who seemed to have a lot less power than other versions I've seen of this play, and also dogberry, whom I uuuusually don't get so much out of, but really enjoyed him this time (it's not a falstaff situation, where I've hated 99% of falstaffs -- although I note josie rourke is also the person who directed the henry iv with a falstaff i liked. her and gus van sant), and also gave claudio and hero some feeling of being a bit more alive and grappling with their various kinds of emotions throughout, where often they end up just being "sweet bland girl and dick who was easily manipulated" in my head

current coping mechanisms for dealing with the reality of trans healthcare in the uk include:

looking at the wait times for first appointments with the nhs (bad idea) (it’s years) (the clinic is not accepting referrals)

researching private options again (bad idea) (i cannot even begin to imagine affording this right now or any time soon)

watching abi thorn’s ‘i emailed my doctor 133 times’ for the millionth time (if i say it’s for catharsis it feels less like shouting into the void)

yearning

anger (self explanatory)

becoming even more incentivised to pursue transition (despite the agonies) because at least it’ll be my own personal fuck you to a government that wants us miserable or dead

ur post about queerbaiting and the dismissal of people in fandom to critical analysis is so incredibly true thank you. i feel like marcille's writing in the anime has been super misogynistic a lot of the time and every time i bring this up all anyone wants to say is "well maybe this isn't for you! and you shouldn't watch the show!" like. i don't think this is about taste lmao, i am analyzing the text in front of me and coming to conclusions about the craft of it.

[This is in reference to this post]

YES!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

It is so so frustrating!!!!

It's like being at a restaurant and being served a bunch of delicious appetizers, but then one of the bread appetizers is literally just a plate of crumbs; and then when you're like, "Hey, uhh, why are we being served literal crumbs?", a bunch of the other folks eating at the restaurant are like,

"WELL HOW ABOUT YOU JUST DON'T EAT HERE THEN??!? YOU MUST NOT BE THAT HUNGRY, SO JUST FIND ANOTHER RESTAURANT AND DON'T EAT WITH US!!"

And maybe they say it politely, but "Aw, sorry, maybe this restaurant just isn't for you 💖" is just trading out an aggressive dismissive tone for a patronizing dismissive tone. It's the same message.

And it's like! I was honestly happy to move on from the crumbs once my complaint was acknowledged because the meal overall is still delicious, but then all these folks got SUPER WEIRD AND DEFENSIVE ABOUT IT, so now I find myself double-checking all the other dishes -- and, actually, you know what those eggs DO look a Iittle misogynistic undercooked!!!!

Having to decide if I should be delusional or accept reality (which I cannot do without crying)

[agrimmbrothersgrimmestgoose]

I am out of the med that regulates my pain (and the soonest I might get it is tonight if I'm lucky)

I haven't slept well in like a week

I log on to The Webbed Site and find that one of the peeps I enjoyed (through her interactions with several other wonderful queers on my dash) has been permabanned by the CEO, loosing her 4th account and her name is being used as a bludgeon to kill other queers, most often Trans Women who've already dealt with repeated baseless account wipes

I am so full of pain,

Tumblr is one of the extremely few places where I can be Queer and interact fully with others like me. It's the only place I have where I can speak and feel like I can actually say all I want to without the same level of worry that I have in my In Person life. I am blessed to have protection in the form of a Roommate dedicated to privacy protection and absolutely locking our Internet down. Even then, in the place I feel most comfortable to be Queer, I consciously make sure to not id my name, my siblings names, where I live or lived, because I *know* it takes one SINGLE person deciding to label me as a threat, to add me to a list, to ensure that I receive every bit of what Avery has shouldered for years. It's the reality of being Queer.

Trans Women and Men and People, the queers they are and they are friends with know to their core the reality of existence. We know that this is not fair, just, kind or in any way reasonable and yet when we stand in Solidarity and continue to point out how deeply this hurts! How deeply it guts the members of Tumblr who have defined it so completely they had the gall to say it was The Queerst Place, to be banned, to be targeted, to say the millions of dollars in ad revenue is worthless cause you're a goddamn tranny,

It simply results in the CEO doubling down, in scores of users sticking their head in the sand...

Well...

I can't do much, sitting here, in pain, feeling the loss of Avery and Nebulaaa and I am absolutely certain dozens of others,

But I don't intend to shut the fuck up,

We protect each other. And when Tumblr finally burns itself to the ground, whether 30 days or 3 years from know, I know I will find an internet home with all of you again,

Get fucked Tumblr, I hope this site gets hit by an exploding hammer car

been very offline lately but not like in a therapeutic way more like in the way a dead body in a lake is offline but anyways! had my follow up (everything’s fine) but the extent of the explanation for the funky bruising was “you’re just a bit of a mystery” which like. tell me about it but also why did that happen? was my body just in it’s silly goofy era or what
