"NAVSPECWAR"

ODSTs often have trouble forming smooth working relationships with Spartans, to say nothing of keeping up with them in the field.

Petty Officer First Class Cody-121 and Sergeant Miguel Kiesling are an unlikely exception.

@churchyaoi's OCs are really fun and wonderful and I love them so obviously I had to play dolls with them in Blender and here we ARE

these bitches gay happy pride month!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Jobless behavior” when referring to people who are absolutely deranged on the internet is so far removed from reality like I guarantee you most people who are obsessively unhinged have a job that is driving them to become absolutely insane because they are miserable and likely don’t have the energy to do much outside of whatever outlet they’re using to take their frustrations out on the internet. Employed behavior

Hey guys, my opponent just fused their entire side of the board into a gestalt entity, which is currently dissecting and calcifying my pieces such that they fit into its twisted vision of an eternal, perfect state of the universe. What's the best counter in this situation?

my wife and i like to torture each other when we lay down for bed at night by tickling or poking each other. as a deterrent we’ve created an entity called “The Bird” which will attack you as a way to show we’re no longer comfortable with whatevers happening. we’ll say “The Bird is coming” or “The Bird is going to get you” instead of “hey stop doing that” then we peck each other with our hands. here’s a visual to help

you cannot talk about the homophobic murder of jonathan joss without including in the conversation that he is indigenous.

american indian men are at the 2nd highest risk of death by murder compared to all other ethnic groups. in their lifetimes, 82% of native men report having experienced domestic violence. yet the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are non-natives (88% of native men and 92% of native women who reported violence said their attacker was non-native). what’s more, tribal governments are often stymied in their attempts to bring justice against non-natives, meaning that many of these cases go unresolved.

this was an intersectional attack. the fact that he is indigenous matters, even if the motivation was homophobic, because it made him even more vulnerable and disposable in the eyes of his killer.

as always, look into MMIWP to learn more, and speak up for us. miigwetch, take care

Spartans from Halo are probably agender: a mini-thesis I thought way too much about

hi happy pride month I have thoughts on Spartans and gender that I have coalesced after many months of being influenced by my insane (affectionate) halo friends and I would like to share.

Spartans, specifically Spartan-IIs and Spartan-IIIs, are for the most part probably agender.

Spartans, as Halo lore presents them, were raised and trained in an environment that is insanely far removed from any real exposure to normal social roles/dynamics. There are countless social experiences and expectations they never had because it was never a priority.

These are people who grew up understanding themselves as sacrifices already made, as weapons against the insurrection and later the Covenant. The "social experiences and expectations" they had took the shape of fireteams, chains of command, and tactical exercises.

This is the 26th century and I'm assuming that being queer/trans is so unremarkable that most terminology to describe it is considered archaic, and also that gender politics are very loosey goosey, but people are still using standard masculine and feminine pronouns for each other, so I think it's safe to assume that in Halo, gender as a social construct remains alive and well. Thus, labeling yourself as any gender means something about yourself and the social role you're trying to play.

For Spartans, gender is one part of a social world full of expectations, context, and shared understandings that are completely meaningless to them. These are boxes they never learned how to and thus cannot fit into.

If gender is a social role you play, the role they fill is Spartan.

This probably doesn't look like much for most of them from the outside; "agender" isn't a gender identity they're actively assuming, it's a total lack of curiosity about any of it. It doesn't matter to them. It's not what they're for. There is other shit they have to worry about.

Most of them use whatever pronouns people have always used for them. John-117, for example, uses he/him because... that's just what everyone has used for him forever? Consciously changing that or questioning it would be really weird and uncomfortable for him. For almost any Spartan, for that matter; these are people who have completely subsumed themselves into being weapons in service of a much larger cause. Interrogating personal identity or who they feel like they "really are" outside of the only thing they think really matters about themselves is going to be SUPER uncomfortable.

Do not ask a Spartan to "man up" or "act like a lady". That would require them to understand things they have long since accepted are not for them.

This is fine; this doesn't make them broken or less human. They like what they are, there's job satisfaction in it.

They're just being the only thing they know how to be, the same as anybody else.

So you are telling me, according to the San Antonio Police Department, its not a hate crime when you:

- threaten to burn a gay couple’s house down for two years and openly calling them slurs

- actually do burn down the house

- kill their dog and place it’s skull and harness on top of the couple’s mailbox for them to see

- shoot and kill one of them while they are crying over seeing their murdered dog’s remains while you are also calling them homophobic slurs

During both Pride and Indigenous History Month nonetheless.

Rest In Peace Jonathan Joss.
