I know its been a while but Bad keeps bringing it up and i wasnt here back then so i wanted to talk about the happy pills proposal.
You could see that happening as this nice happy positive thing. Because in his moment of happiness what Forever needed to be truely happy was marrying Bad. Because thats what deep down would make him happy.
But thats not how i watched it (i literally cried).
Because everything was perfect. It was the perfect romantic setting. A field of perfect beautiful rose bushes. On a perfectly nice bench. The prefect place to get asked the perfect question by the perfect guy. Forevers perfect blond hair was falling down his back. His perfect white suit was spotless. A perfect unwavering smile plastered on his face. And perfectly dead eyes of someone Bad couldnt recognize. Everything was perfect just like the federation would love it. And thats why Bad hates every part of this. Thats why it breaks his heart. Because thats not his Forever sitting in front of him. Its not Forever confessing his love. Its just an empty shell of ghe men he loves being puppetiered by the federation. The organization that has to ruin everything. Even a moment that was suposed to be just theirs.
And thats why i think it was one of the most tragic 4halo moment ever.

I’m thinking again about Astarions sexuality and how I've seen some people (to be fair, just a few) talk about it. Mainly, people pointing out his flamboyant behavior, and that us as players are learning more about his past male lovers than female ones and basically all these things for some people pointing to him being gay or at least not interested in women in the same way he is in men. And him only being a romance option regardless of gender, because, well, all companions are and he is therefore just "playersexual", only showing interest in female player characters because he has to, because of the game mechanics.
I think what really rubs me the wrong way about this topic is that it echoes the kind of things bi/pan people (speaking as a bisexual woman myself) find themselves dealing with irl. Whether through some form of internalized biphobia or from the outside through other people's comments. Of course this is about a fictional character so it’s not like he has any feelings that could be hurt. But when i see people tallying up how often he mentions men vs. how often he mentions women it really reminds me of a way of thinking I sometimes fall into in regards to my own sexuality. This is definitely just an internalized response and not something I actually believe when I truly think about it for a second, but I know these patterns of thought very well. Of observing my own behavior. How often do I find which gender attractive? Am I attracted "enough" to women? Do I talk about men's attractiveness too often? Is it the other way around? Am I only saying this woman is attractive to prove something to myself? I literally have a girlfriend and my attitude towards mine or other's sexual orientation is generally a huge big "whatever, I don't care". And I still have a passing thought like that from time to time.
So seeing people talk about a fictional character in this way really sends home how many people (whether consciously or unconsciously) see attraction as some sort of equation, you can solve, where in the end you get a result of either gay or straight.

finding it hard to articulate this but i think the exclusion and othering of trans women thats so rampant on this site stems from the like, 10 year old idea that tumblr is a site only mentally ill women use, and then that idea sort of shifted as everyone started transitioning and now the image of an average tumblr user is like. a nonbinary/transmasc person . and then everyone started hating everyone who wasnt in that in-group

anyways what you missed in my few days of absence:
1. company christmas function on friday. i served and also got really drunk. did some banger relationship counseling (while drunk). 3 ppl told me i was serving, 2 said they thought i was really cool. finally asked the guy from IT why the fuck he keeps wearing an ahegao sweater to work (he thinks its funny because nobody who could stop him knows what it is)
2. chrimmas (the 24th). was fine. i slept until noon when i was woken up for lunch.
3. post-chrimmas (the 25th). extended family visited (including my beloved cousin). my social battery was still kinda wiped out so i spent 11 hours playing fire emblem 7 instead of interacting with guests
4. today i coined a new insider between my siblings and i, a momentous occasion as always (it a line from ep2 of ofmd's german dub)
5. my brother confirmed that, were i to purchase all of ofmd in german, he would watch it with me again. this is an absolute win. i might actually do it. what other gems may this dub hide? besides 'oh sie sind recht geschickt 😧' that is.
