Y'all know Bioware picked N7 Day to drop that new teaser because they want the fanbase to forget that almost all the people who made ME and DA special have either left or been fired and the company is being sued in a class action suit because they refuse to pay proper severance to the employees they very suddenly laid off, right? Yes?
Like you get that it's bait? And they're going to do the same shit with the Dreadwolf marketing when that starts ramping up.
share whatever project you're working on right now, except 'project' is incredibly open ended. It could be fic, original writing, playlists, art, crafts, whatever it is you're doing! thank you @malchai for the tag!! <33
considering i am currently right in the middle of exams season i SHOULD be telling you i haven't done much writing lately but uh that is not the case... this is for an upcoming fest so i'm not sure how much i'm allowed to tell you, but i will say that i'm not even sure if this is going to make it into the actual fic lol (//minor nsfw mentions)
“Still, if anyone should be sharing a bed, it should be us. Your friends shouldn’t have to move around for our sake.”
Sirius’ eyes narrowed. “No.”
Oh, was that how he wanted to play this? Well, Regulus could narrow his eyes too. “Why not?” He asked through gritted teeth.
“Because I don’t trust him.”
“Wow,” Regulus scoffed. “No shame about it, huh?”
“Oh come on, you knew how I felt about him. I want to trust you, and I want to trust your friends, but him, of all people? Really? It’s one thing for him to be here at all, but he’s not staying in the same bed as my little brother.”
“Would you care if I was born male, hm?”
Sirius rolled his eyes. “This may come as a shock, Reg, but I of all people am aware that two people with dicks can have sex.”
“Ew, don’t talk about your dick–”
“You were asking for it–”
“If anyone is asking for details of the other’s sex life right now, it’s you, and you are incredibly lucky I’m not giving them–”
“You don’t have a sex life, you’re like twelve–”
“I am eighteen!–”
“Child! Child! Child! Child!–”
“Alright.” Lupin said, causing Regulus and Sirius to quickly fall silent. Snapping out of their argument, he saw everyone else staring at them with varying expressions. Lupin's was somewhere between amused and fatigued, Pettigrew's vaguely concerned, and Potter's absolutely terrified. Only children, Regulus thought.

marius does seem to have a lot of complicated feelings about what he did to armand and I really hope one of them is guilt for his thinking in buying armand originally. he talks in blood and gold about how when he heard armand's mind, the entire reason he wanted him was because he thought, here is a child who has been so hurt that it will be no loss to the world if I make him a vampire. and he wavers on this later and I hope it's because he saw this child make friends and learn things and love rings and watches and swordfighting and realize that actually there is never a child so damaged that taking them from humanity is no loss. I wonder if part of the reason he never tried to talk to armand after seeing him with the children of darkness is that he saw that boy changed into a lonely stoic cult leader with no more will or verve and was too consumed with guilt to even try. I hope that guilt started when he took armand to kiev rus and saw how much armand still loved the family he hadn't seen in years and for a while barely remembered from trauma. also I hope marius explodes into one thousand pieces but that's mostly irrelevant
But this dick isn't supporting terrorism and isn't sympathetic for people who want to ethnically cleanse the middle East funded by the UN?
Lol yes, Karen, you're totally on the right side of history here, you're quoting antisemetic tropes from both the Nazis and the KKK handbooks, and openly calling for ethnically cleansing Jews from Israel which they call "isn't real" or whatever but it's named over 100 times in the Quran, and I've read the xtian bible it's mentioned probably twice that at least. But it isn't real. Sorry it's hard not to laugh at that logic.
most exclusionists have probably never had to ACTUALLY struggle to figure out their identity. like, i mean ACTUALLY struggle. not just being a little confused for a little while but figuring it out without much pain or hassle and after that point not really questioning again. and it fucking shows.
like oh i’m so sorry you spent a month slightly confused over your sexuality or gender, but then you figured it out and that was that. so now you think you’re the fucking end all be all of the queer experience and expect it to be that fucking easy for everyone. good for fucking you.
every night for four years, i was up agonizing over my sexuality. a lot of the times it was so painful i couldn’t breathe, just had to fucking keep going feeling like there was no end in sight to the NOT KNOWING. and some of y’all will truly never ever understand what that feels like but instead of acknowledging that you act like it should just be fucking easy for us.
5 years later, i’m not actually that much closer to figuring any of it out. but i’ve never been happier. you know what helped me get there? realizing that my worth is not dependent upon whether or not i have myself figured out, that i don’t need to have myself figured out in order to move forward with my life. and then, fucking THEN, gender came into the picture and sometimes i feel like i’m right back where i started.
last night, when i was outed to my mom, she was more accepting of my gender identity than most of the people in this “community”. my 60 year old mother who got confused when i said i thought i was a boy because “i thought you were asexual”, still managed to be more comforting and supportive of my journey with gender and sexuality, than any of the exclusionists who’ve come for me on here. my mother, who doesn’t know the difference between a trans man and a trans woman, still was able to tell me that my soul doesn’t change just because my gender might and that i have time to figure it out and don’t need to rush myself, whereas i’ve had hundreds of OTHER QUEER PEOPLE tell me to kill myself for being bi and a lesbian and a boy.
so fuck you. fuck you if you think that you know more about me than i do. fuck you if you think those years i spent in constant questioning agony, don’t matter because i just have to use the definition that makes everyone else comfortable. fuck your exclusionism, fuck your gatekeeping, fuck you forever.
legend has it people can dislike characters for their extremely questionable racist past rather than it having anything to do with which ship is better but you didn't hear it from me
Tbh I never understood the people who get upset at the idea pikmin 4 may be a reboot? I'm not even talking about those who disagree with the idea or otherwise think it isn't a reboot. You're entitled to your opinion. I'm talking about the people who get heated over it. Who insist it would be a terrible choice, that it makes no sense, that Nintendo "clearly" doesn't care about the story if that's the case, and insults anyone who suggests it may be a reboot.
Like... It kinda does make sense, though? The franchise is over 20 years old now and has been put on pause for roughly a decade; the series has a few new writers, old writers could have changed their minds on some things, and that's not even getting into the fact that most people playing Pikmin 4 would be new to the series, and a good chunk of returning players are casuals who may have forgotten certain story details. Hell, I'd argue a decent number of players starting with Pikmin 4 hadn't even been BORN yet when Pikmin 3 was released.
Regardless if you think Pikmin 4 is a reboot, I think it's easy to see why it potentially being one would be a good call on Nintendo's part. It gives them the freedom to do what they want/need to do with the story while not being held back by 10-20 year old details. They'd also get to reverse any more questionable choices, like Pangea Ultima in Pikmin 3.
It gives the story a fresh start. Again, if you think it needed it or that it even is a fresh start is your own call. I just never understood the people who got like... Angry over it, to the point of insulting Nintendo and anyone who thought it may be a reboot over it.
Went to the bookstore today and asked about their mythology section and this frickin guy had the gall to be like "Yeah it's over here, but these are really dense and difficult so let me show you the children's mythology section." I was so baffled I didn't say anything. Normally I would've been very offended, but I couldn't help but laugh because I was like "I've been reading those massive textbook-esque mythology books since I was a literal child as research for my novel, sir. But sure, show me the kid's section, I like reading kids' books too."
I always wonder, when people decide to reply to a character-positive post with hate for that character, what it is they're hoping to accomplish. Do you want the OP to defend their position? Do you somehow think you're going to convince them that the character actually sucks and they'll be like wow, you're so smart, thanks for giving me Correct Opinions. Are you hoping they won't notice and you'll just get to blow off some steam pretending it's into the void instead of on someone's front lawn? What's going through your mind, I wonder?
