Just a guy doing my best to get by. Trying not to get sucked into negative thinking or drama on here if I can help it. PhD candidate so expect to see me complain about gradschool now and then.
Every batkid when working with other hero team: hypercompetent, generally very serious, 100% professional (to the degree of being a little annoying) and well put together, foolproof plans that predict enemy movements 100 steps in advance,
It's a little thing, but I appreciate that Final Fantasy VII Remake/Rebirth actually acknowledges how badly Cloud is unwittingly gaslighting Tifa this time around. The whole "this guy clearly has intimate knowledge of the Incident, including stuff only someone who personally witnessed it could possibly know, but I was there too and I genuinely don't remember him being present" business has gotta fuck with a person's sense of perspective, and the original game barely touches on it at all.
I'm currently reading "Genderqueer" by Maia Kobabe for one of my university classes on Queer Embodiment, and found this little gem. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Morpheus helping out a questioning genderqueer person on their journey to self-discovery sounds about right!
Now and then I go "maybe it's all in my head, maybe I'm not disabled, maybe I'm somehow faking it."
Then I go onto campus to mark my students practical work with one crutch instead of two, and end up staggering and falling on the way to the bus cause my legs have decided "fuck you".
