#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #tulu xuanwu #Something about changing the action sequence to something gentle is hilarious to me. #The lesson here is “Be nice to turtles. They are gentle creatures. And many are very endangered.” #don't get me wrong here; I love this scene a lot. LWJ's string technique is one of my favoyrite things. #We do get a fair amount of LWJ fighting but I always loved how the theme of strings comes into play. #There is actually a lot to unpack with LWJ being associate with 'strings'. #The musicianship: Of dedication and rigor in one's practice. #The tension between following along a path or composing your own way forwards (playing what has been written vs composing) #A string is a tightly coiled/taunt entity; The same tension that makes it sing so beautifully can be it's downfall if pushed too hard. #And as a non-musical string - something that binds. Be it to his sect and family or how he binds his fate to WWX - #LWJ cannot exist without his binds. It is not something which ties him down though. It keeps him together. #And he himself *is* a bind. He 'ties wwx down' in ways that are initially negatively viewed ('come to gusu' - feels like: come be trapped) #But later it is shown how (despite being introduced as a free spirit) WWX truly wants to be bound to something and someone. #Marriage is a bind he wants. He wants to be tied and grounded by LWJ. #It's starting to sound like innuendo. Let's call his fondness for being literally tied up smart thematic writing. #Finally. Sex scenes that are important to the plot and characters

Katniss actually said that if not for the existence of the Games and Panem's shitty state in general, that she, at 17 years old, could possibly be married and pregnant. Full-on teen mothering it with her dandelion in the spring if Panem could chill out for a sec and stop killing children. And then she proceeded to fantasize about Peeta and his child safe in the meadow. This thought alone gave her one of three nights of restful sleep without drugs post-Games during the series (the other two being when she was in Peeta's arms).

And yet when the Games did end permanently and Katniss indeed went ahead and married/committed to Peeta and had a family with him at about 30 years old, some people still did a surprise Pikachu face and complained it was out of character.

WHAT MORE DID SHE HAVE TO DO TO FORESHADOW THE ENDING?

#quote for those who want it: #(in reference to Peeta's baby bomb) #Isn't it the thing I dreaded most about the wedding about the future-the loss of my children to the Games? #And it could be true now couldn't it? #If I hadn't spent my life building up layers of defenses until I recoil at even the suggestion of marriage or a family? #(only change is the commas are taken out b/c tags) #girl basically acknowledged her trauma and said without it she could be married and pregnant at 17 that is WILD #having a secret toasting and then having sex with peeta (as this was the “it” she was referring to) #the hunger games #katniss everdeen #peeta mellark #everlark #catching fire

I have mixed feelings about Tim but I genuinely respect him for at least being honest about this (x)

#my post #911 abc #911 fox #911 #buddie #tim minear #tuck #I really really want Buddie to happen like most of us #but the entertainment space is very vulnerable #Buck being bi was SO monumental but even still we have NO idea how that will impact ratings and what not #same sex marriage wasn't even legal in all 50 states a *decade* ago #a LOT of people are still homophobic #this could help change that yes #this could help attract more viewers too #but we don't know that #if we are able to sustain and GROW the viewership of the show we are more likely to get buddie #and also #I'd rather have a show runner who straight up says hey it's okay that you ship it have at it #than a show runner who is condescending towards its fans #because there are a LOT of them

i’m sorry for not being here and celebrating the reunion but i’m really disgusted and sad about my country’s same sex marriage voting results today.. six years of trying for nothing. more than 70% of czech people want equal marriage, yet there are majority of homophobic politicians who say no because it “goes against their beliefs”.

really considering moving somewhere where i can actually get married after being with someone for 7 years. all i have are the same duties and paying taxes like everyone else but being told i’m not worthy of a marriage and should be happy with partnership

#we’ve had civil partnerships for 16 years now #and still #no change #i thought i wouldn’t be sad because i kinda expected it but still #we also don’t even have adoption rights #same sex marriage #czech republic

Aquí No Hay Quien Viva is a Spanish comedy show from twenty years ago where they had a main gay couple and one of the guys had to leave the show for a while so they said his character got fired and had to move to London. He eventually came back to the show but meanwhile, instead of immediately getting him a new boyfriend (they did get him one later, though they didn't last), the other guy got a new roommate. The roommate turned out to be a lesbian, they became best friends and since she wanted to be a mom, the gay guy was her donor and also decided he was also going to be the official dad and raise the kid with her. Thus the baby had a gay dad and a lesbian mom. Then the dude who moved to London came back and got back together with the dad and they even got married in the last season, and the mom ended up dating the hottest woman in the show who realized she was a lesbian after they got drunk and slept together in Benidorm. So the kid now had two gay dads and two gay moms. And my head hurt when I watched this shit the first time.

#the show is old and a lot of things haven't aged well #but you gotta acknowledge it changed how Spaniards saw gay people and actually helped legalize same-sex marriage and adoption #also where the fuck are you gonna see a plot like this one #aqui no hay quien viva #anhqv

so, i’ve been putting off writing this post for a while, telling myself that i didn’t really need to do it and everything would turn out fine but honestly. some of the asks i’ve been getting recently have been very upsetting to me personally and they’re sort of mounting up in my inbox and making it feel not very pleasant so i thought i’d just. get this post out of the way...

since the demo was released i’ve been getting an increasing number of asks that seem as though they’re designed to try and push me away from including polyam options in the game or attempt to try and goad me into admitting that the ROs prefer monogamy and consider any polyam relationships “lesser” than “proper” monogamous relationships.

this has ranged from direct criticism of my characters (”don’t you think it’s unfair that Lithiana won’t give up sleeping around and become monogamous if mc is romancing her”) to what i’m sure are intended to be subtle attempts at manipulation (”don’t you think it would be Healthier for [RO] if they were monogamous so that they could Know that mc Truly loves them and Only them and they’d be so much happier in that kind of relationship”) to attempting to shame other players for being happy about polyam options being included.

that last bunch really, really hurt me. i get a not insignificant amount of asks from people being happy that polyam options are included or that they simply won’t be shamed for being promiscuous but i’ve gradually. stopped answering these because i almost always get an ask shortly afterwards that reads something like “i do [rephrasing of something that was mentioned in the original ask] ONLY with [their favourite RO who i won’t drag into this], because i’m a GOOD LOVER ;)” and it feels like absolute crap, every time. (and of course tumblr being tumblr blocking this anon ask sender simply doesn’t work, because Webbed Site  🙄)

i’ve seen authors get backlash for including (and especially Adding) polyam routes and readers getting possessive over “their” ROs but i never realised people were just as mad about the. idea that other players could be doing non-monogamous things elsewhere and not being shamed for it. and that... really boggles my mind and saddens me a lot.

to the what i assume to be minority of people for whom stuff other players are doing is apparently a problem, i hope you can understand that other players being polyamorous doesn’t affect your playthrough of the game in any way, and there’s no need to just. be mean to them about it. and if you’re actually mad simply because people aren’t ashamed of being polyamorous well... that’s pretty cruel, i have to say, and we probably wouldn’t get along if we knew each other, because i’m also polyamorous. i’d appreciate it if you’d stop trying to use me as a platform to shame other polyam people, and maybe just unfollow if it bothers you so much.

to the people who have sent asks that mention or talk about monogamy in a sensible non-judgy way who may have noticed me not answering them - i’m sorry, i haven’t felt like answering these for a bit due to the other batch of asks and me feeling icky at the idea of galvanising the other group despite there being nothing wrong with your asks in particular. i’ll probably keep them in my inbox and maybe answer them in a while if this dies down.

to everyone else, thank you for supporting me and i’m sorry to have to talk about this but it’s really been bugging me recently lmao. i appreciate each and every one of you that Isn’t sending me these asks lmfao<3

#posts from the mortal world #long post. #sigh... will anyone read this who knows. i know it's long but Man. i had a lot to say i guess #anyway none of this has changed my stance on anything. Obviously. it's just making the blog an unpleasant task for me #i think this is one thing the people sending these kinds of asks don't get #you're more likely to cause an author to give up on a game than. comply with your demands lmfao #edit: I TALKED SO MUCH I FORGOT TO BRING UP THE PERSON WHO SAID THEY WERE 'HORRIFIED' BY CASUAL SEX OUTSIDE A RELATIONSHIP #buddy if you're horrified by sex outside the bounds of christian marriage why are you playing a game about demons #😭 please...

walk with me here. sarah angelo & alice colletti jennifer’s body moment of “you’re killing people!” / “no. i’m killing boys!”

#ok? OK ⁉️ #ARE Y’ALL WALKING WITH ME ? #sarah who grew up with alice (alice is a few years younger but since she was the only other girl they were forced to play together) #and sarah wanted to be rough and wanted to be ‘one of the boys’ so to speak #like she wanted to be involved in the family. was mad when she wasn’t taken seriously #alice wants to be a Good Girl. goes to mass every sunday. says her prayers. she’s smart n march is ensuring that she gets away frm this life #but also . alice has a MASSIVE crush on sarah #sarah who was her first kiss. sarah who was like ‘well if you’re gonna go off to school and change the world- #- you should at least know how to kiss so you can get you a rich husband’ #and therefore teaches alice to kiss. more than once. in more than a couple ways #because two girls kissing is not against the rules. it doesn’t count. it’s not sex before marriage bc two girls can’t have sex . right ? #and so anyway . alice is in love with sarah and she’s naive . and sarah is a ‘bad girl’ and march begs alice to stay away from her #bc sarah is starting to help the family in some petty crimes. sarah can drink and handle liquor. sarah enjoys being around men. #sarah’s HURT people before. and alice who doesn’t get it who will never get it #i’d like ‘sarah! you’re KILLING people!!’ and sarah who smiles as she’s washing the blood from her hands is like #‘no.. i’m killin’ boys.. :)’ #sarah marino #sarah angelo #alice colletti #mde #mafia definitive edition #post: personal

Btw the hearing on gay marriage in the indian supreme court is currently ongoing and one of the arguments against marriage equality is that love and affection are not the basis of heterosexual marriage so same sex marriage can't be demanded on those grounds 🫡

#india #lmao #i dont really want to talk about this bcs i have v little hope of anything changing even if they allow same sex marriages which i doubt #but its kinda funny how much theyre shitting on straight marriages lmfao

[propalahramota]

“A baby platypus was discovered in the Royal National Park less than a year after 10 were reintroduced to the area, marking the end of a half-century local extinction.

so cool that my shithole fucking country voted against ceasefire in palestine:)

#i genuinely like living here #but the state of politics is absolutely horrible and the country does anything to piss me the fuck off #assholes keep arguin that we cant have same sex marriage #because the word for marriage 'manželství' is made up of 'man' and 'woman' roots (it fucking isnt) #you cant legally change your sex marker on documents unless you get castrated #you have to hopelessly watch as the state television casually supports israel #and you are called an antisemite if youre propalestine #love love love

Man, having hope and believing there's good and kindness within people just keeps getting harder and harder...

Sanemi & Giyuu were about 16-17 when they both individually went on an undercover mission in the Kaze no Kuni capital city, they henged/disguised as fake personas Kazura (vaguely derived from kaze, wind) and Nakuu ('to lose')

Kazura is supposed to be darker skinned + two-toned eyes like that of Kazan no Kuni descendants & is sensible and confident but lazy, Nakuu has a hairstyle + facial shape from Mizu no Kuni & an outgoing enthusiastic and pretty sly personality

Giyuu put some particular effort into his disguise and really got into the character he was playing up, he also had fun with it where he could- and thats how he met Kazura. i dont have or really want specifics of why where how or such bc it ruins the imaginative bit of it ig? but while they were on the mission they were meeting up, they both knew the other was disguised but neither pried about it. they fell in love a bit, however it means, but as Nakuu's namesake they were never going to last. it was a mission and when it was done they would leave for home and never meet again.

but then they did :)

at 19 sanemi and giyuu had a political marriage arranged(forced) by Kyogo being a greedy fuck and wanting more trade from the Tomioka, in both the Happy & Broken marriage paths giyuu's the one who notices sanemi acting the same way as kazura in some ways and realizes the two are one in the same. In the Happy marriage its a thought that brings a smile to his face and a jest about how they fell in love twice, in the Broken marriage its only twice the heartbreak after the apathy sanemi regards him with and the loneliness that consumes him

I love that the straight men incorrectly read the divorce rate of lesbians is 70% and they're like "hmn must not be men causing most divorce it's obvious women just suck" when in actuality it's 70% of all same sex divorces are lesbians and I think it's somewhere closer to a 14% divorce rate for married lesbian couples.

#however marriage is relatively new for same sex couples #so I'm sure if we give it at least 10 years of being legal #maybe it'll change #straight men do you even like women at all? #like faceless vagina aside #do you like women?

You know it kind of sucks to see discourse about whether or not me and people like me should exist. Like just the fact that it's even a question in the first place sucks.

#ramblings of an arrow #I really need to make more friends that just arent christian at this point #like I still love my religious friends very much #but the fact that its an actual question being asked and that the majority answer is no like SUCKS dude #like holy shit and yall wonder why ppl leave the churh in droves #why there are so few queer christians #like its so fucking difficult to exist in a space where your right to exist is up for debate #its exhausting #like even if you arent outright saying it you make it so obvious you dont want ppl like me around #that the fact that I exist is either abhorrent or just too awkward to acknowledge #also sorry not sorry that my marriage is healthier that all but like 2 christian marriages ive ever seen #my lesbian ass is better at having a healthy loving marriage and good sex than most of you will ever be #youre gonna look at me and tell me that its wrong? really?? #can you look me in the eye as you treat my existence as something to be ignored or spoken about in hushed tones #oh hide your children I might corrupt them because I exist being a loving caring adoring spouse to my wife #you dont like to talk about us or acknowledge us unless its to debate our right to be #as if that should even be a fucking question in the first place #im sorry i just.... this gets exhausting sometimes #im not gonna apologize for existing or try to hide the parts of me that make you uncomfortable #I am queer as hell I am a dyke I am a faggot I am a tranny and thats not gonna change no matter what you want #I adore my wife she adores me and I never felt this level of deep abiding compassionate love in christian spaces #your love comes with strings attached even though I know you want to believe it doesnt
