do you ever look at someone and just know? your whole body is drawn to them and it’s fucking magnetic and addicting and you can’t look away from them. and your whole body feels hot and sweaty and about to burst when you see them and talk and joke with them? but you do look away, because you’re supposed to be committed to someone else and you deprive yourself from the truth because why the fuck would you get what you want? that does not happen in this timeline. eventually you decide to live more honestly, cut the excess weight and continue on and keep repeating yourself hot priest’s words, “it’ll pass” but then it just doesn’t
cas: dean, i need to warn you, i ran out of my meds yesterday so i may be a little… eccentric.
dean: oh i’m sure you’re over exaggerating! it’ll be fine, sweetheart.
[several hours later]
cas: and i just don’t understand why the jedi don’t allow them to fall in love? it’s not a systemic problem, anakin was just taken into the program too late. obi-wan could totally have a wife - or a husband, that would be so cool, but the movies are not from a great time frame for representation - wait, isn’t obi-wan canonically bisexual or did i stumble upon fake news again?
dean, absolutely enthralled: i’m going to be so honest, i don’t know, but let’s say i commit enough credit card fraud for us to afford to film prequels. will you be the time-period inaccurate husband to my obi-wan?
sam, not amused: cas, when your meds are back in stock, can you grab some for dean too?
I need to talk about Minecraft AU for a sec and how the difference between our world and their world makes for some of the most humorous but also interesting differences in how people act about certain subjects.
Like the trans thing right. Steve and Rana are both trans I've talked about that before. And neither of them are on hormone replacement or anything (there is an in universe explanation as to why Steve has a beard though I promise I can talk about that if anyone wants) but like that's fine bc it literally Doesn't Matter to them or anyone else.
Like as spawned players they already don't have any pre-existing gender roles or ideas of what something "should" be so gender and presentation is what they make of it and there's no real solid idea in anyone's mind about how a "boy" or "girl" behaves or looks like. These are labels that exist but they barely mean anything.
It also helps that any preexisting culture that WOULD have ideas of this was almost entirely destroyed like 5000 years ago (thanks Groda) so it matters even less than it already did.
And its funny bc the only two people alive from that era, White Eyes and Groda also just don't care. Groda maybe asks why Rana's voice sounds deeper once and nearly gets torn apart by Alex bc of it (Rana isn't offended or anything she just has a defensive girlfriend), bc she doesn't really understand because she never experienced anything like this first hand but very quickly comes to understand it and accept it.
And on the other hand White Eyes is just like "I've seen weirder things than this" which yeah. Yeah honestly I think the person who was previously one with the undead would not care about gender in the grand scheme of things.
And then u have Kai which I've joked before that they may as well have been spawned in nonbinary. They rlly just said "I'm not really anything" and everyone was like yeah makes sense I vibe with it. Good for u.
Steve and Rana are both fairly open about having been the opposite genders previously (because that's how they view their experiences and that's valid!) and don't really shy away from the subject but also never really have much reason to talk about it since there's rarely a need to. In the modern day pretty much everyone who met them had met them post-transition. Even Alex had met them just before Steve started growing in his beard.
The only people who ever knew them as Adam and Eve were Efe and Sunny but they never really thought it was weird or anything. Like the weirdest part to them was Steve saying he got his epiphany from seeing some guy in the distance on a foggy day who looked vaguely like him but that's its own subject manner that they aren't going to pry on.
Also Steve did DIY top "surgery" previously with a sword but we aren't going to talk about how messy that was for everyone involved.
THANKYOU!!!! I AM BEYOND ELATED TO FINALLY BE FREE. my school was from ages THREE TO EIGHTEEN.

colleis personality functionally being left to the ether because her webtoon iteration is at such fundamental odds with her game iteration that any attempts to temper between the two just range so dramatically
u know i just had an article pop up abt a movie w martin freeman & jenna ortega where they are in a teacher/student relationship and the article was martin freeman being like ppl shouldn’t complain abt the age gap it’s fine and he is 52 and she is 21 (31 yr gap) and the movie depicts a clearly toxic dynamic given the power imbalance between a teacher and student as well as between a young girl and a well over middle aged man and so many of the comments were like who cares abt age gaps?? and if the genders were reversed no one would care!!! and there are so many things that bother me abt this situation but i dont see how ppl cannot see the inherent predatory nature of a relationship like that between someone who has been an adult for 3 yrs vs someone who has been an adult for 34 yrs. and i don’t just mean the movie i think everyone excluding jenna involved in that movie is sick. how is martin freeman personally comfortable kissing and i’m assuming having sex scenes w since the movie was R rated (checked and there is at least a scene where they undress while making out presumably to have sex after) w a girl that is so much younger than him? like yeah of course he doesn’t see the issue if he was ok taking the role in the first place. and i feel so bad for jenna bc i feel like no one is looking out for her if they are putting her in movies like this. she is not an up and coming actress who needed to take this role (which would have been just as bad btw) she could have simply not been in this movie. no one is protecting her from these types of roles and that is so sad tbh. there is also just no need for these types of movies like what is the point? there is nothing to it besides normalizing these age gaps that are predatory to young women and girls and feeding into male fantasies of having sex w a girl barely overage when they are 30 yrs older than them. AND it encourages men to harass young women under the impression that they will find them attractive no matter how much ppl insist it won’t bc the male ego is stronger than anything in this world. they can pretend all they want oh it’s fine bc she’s an adult! but a girl being just above the age of legal adulthood does not make her being in a relationship w man 30 yrs older than her not predatory. and if the movie is not abt how disgusting it is (it isn’t) then there is no need to be making the movie. i think martin freeman should be taken out back for being in this movie on god. disgusting! also just ftr if the genders were reversed ppl WOULD care actually. esp bc there is no young woman to sexualize. hate that argument more than anything.
It fell on him, the obligation to continue the creation of destructive yet, obedient creatures. The ends justified the means, and if the means meant falling apart at the seams, then so be it. And so, his father’s puppets regularly fell apart without ever owning a dream. And he wondered, how could his father ever control their strings, when he too, had no control of his own? The boy’s heart never hardened while observing his father work but then...
Then he saw his uncle go. He saw him go, he saw him go, he saw him go, and the boy's gentle heart went cold.
anon you have no idea what kind of pandoras box youre opening when you say ALL of them. … but since you ASKED,
lacktwo is such. an interesting character to me. not because he’s particularly well written (infact I believe the opposite) (COUGH who said that) but because he’s surrounded by so many Implications that bw2… does not get into. at all. like all of the reveals and info drops about lacktwo feel like they were only put there in order to get a shocked reaction from the reader and then they like.. expect us to just Move On from that bombshell. I guess.
like its crazy how lacktwos backstory is shown to us by like. lacktwo traumadumping it onto whitwo. and I wouldnt Mind backstories being shown this way IF LACKTWOS BACKSTORY WASNT FUCKING BATSHIT INSANE? like in his retelling lacktwo says that 1. he was orphaned as an infant (implying his parents died) 2. he was protected by interpol In A Crime Scene (which. was probably the one his parents died in why would he be there otherwise) 3. he was taken in by interpol (as an infant) and trained under them (AS AN INFANT?) and continues to work for them to this day 4. interpol’s main method of teaching him how emotions work was a manual. on emotions? A MANUAL? and 5. his entire moral code was molded by someone in interpol. that moral code happening to exactly align with interpol’s mission. peculiar..
and then after he drops 5 consecutive bombs it is Never. brought up again. Not once! WHAT? WHY? you cant just SAY this guy is BASICALLY a child soldier who interpol has honed into a perfect asset for their own purposes and NOT FUCKING TALK ABOUT IT???
oh and dont get me Started on the implications of magician’s direct involvement with interpol. during the beginning of the arc magician is established as a contact that lacktwo has outside of interpol, who works with him in exchange for lacktwo giving him a backdoor into interpols database or whatever. sure! that seems reasonable enough… but then at the very end of the arc. magician is revealed not only to be directly working with interpol but IS A MEMBER OF INTERPOL? atleast thats what the codename heavily implies! now. why does magician need a backdoor from lacktwo IF HE WOULD ALREADY HAVE ACCESS TO IT and WHY IS HE LYING TO LACKTWO (and looker) ABOUT NOT BEING AFFILIATED WITH INTERPOL. FOR WHAT REASON? even the ONE contact lacktwo seems to have that isnt under interpol IS ACTUALLY UNDER INTERPOL. WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? WH
and magicians meeting with the head of interpol does not make them look ANY less suspicious. why would Any morally upstanding organization feel the need to experiment (and they say EXPERIMENT) on one of their assets by Fake Firing them to see if they would continue on with their assigned mission despite no longer being affiliated anymore. For What Reason.
and then guess what! since that revealed at the end of the arc WE DONT GET INTO THAT. and guess what!!! WE HAVE NEVER SEEN THEM AGAIN. well we see lacktwo (as colress) very very briefly in alola but we are just left Completely hanging on that plot thread . what are they planning with him?? GET HIM OUT OF THERE
