torn between genuinely feeling that this story will be stronger if i show a bit of restraint with the in your face horror and awfulness, and the fact that Vinetta is possibly the most tortureable character i have ever imagined i want to wring her like a wet cloth

making the situation worse for herself by being an asshole for no reason to everyone around her world champion

adopting a puppygirl and she's so excited thinking we're gonna have sex but in actuality i just need her to give myself an excuse to walk to the dog park and flirt with the other puppygirl owners there

ok so last time this had mixed results. however. what if i did it again.

several spoonfuls of nutella straight from the jar is good for the mir. mir will certainly not regret eating several spoonfuls of nutella straight from the jar.

god i've just been like. the most depressed the last bit, but roommate moves in next week and i'm starting to get things properly set up so. hopefully i'll be back to normal mir activities soon enough instead of wallowing

i NEED to write but also my brain is fucking sludge recently and every time i sit down at my laptop i start crying

i really hate the bullshit tropes-based book marketing nonsense but i also think that using it Obviously Incorrectly is like. the funniest shit ever.

Bird of Prey is an age gap enemies to lovers yuri about fighting imperialism :) with autistic and asexual representation :)

i'm not a mecha girlie at all (I liked g witch, which is the extent of my engagement with the genre) but it's really funny when people are like "um what if there was a normal mech story" where the subtext is they heard about mechsploitation and thought "nah fuck that tranny shit"

Wait this is a good thing tho? Like, a huge complaint of the past 5 or so years is that a bunch of learning resources are sequestered into discord servers instead of being searchable like forums etc were.

This post is unavailable.

If it were closed servers it'd be a different story but it only applying to public, discoverable servers basically just serves to make a bunch of information that *should* be searchable easier to find.

Public discords should be searchable because everything should be searchable and we shouldn't have proprietary platforms at all but that's another story

*sees a normal average cis woman* I understand now! Gender is a fraud! A fiction enforced by fascists and religions and marketing companies to control us! Nobody lives up to feminine ideals! *sees a tgirl pretending to be a puppy* That's a woman tho. Why's that bitch so fucking womanly???

(you should read it btw. underdiscussed angle on the closeted tgirl experience imo. as someone for whom "i wish i was a woman" was secondary to "i wish i was a lesbian", it very much articulated things i recognized)

So I saw a comment on Reddit and had to write an essay about it "You can be a girl if you want to" is useless if you don't know what wanting to be a girl looks like. If lesbians make you sad, read this one

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

Incredible gender difference in voting intention in Brazil.

underdiscussed good thing about GW2 that I really hope they continue in GW3 is having a strong player character. I know it gives you less roleplay potential, but it the things it allows them to do with the story are just so much more compelling.

you couldn't do "yeah your character is burnt the fuck out of being a hero and has to deal with an admirer trying to destroy the universe on her behalf" in a game where the player character doesn't have a well written personality

anyway. VoE was one of the best storylines GW2 has ever done and the Commander's characterization was a big part of that.

the archetypal MMO protagonist is a blank slate who watches the important characters do things, and that lets you insert whatever into them, but it also means they never feel like A Character.

Yes, mother-in-law, you can invite yourself to stay with us for an entire week at an incredibly inconvenient time And I will command your daughter to kneel and feed her dog treats after she finishes polishing my boots in front of you Sorry, I d̶o̶n̶'̶t̶ make the rules.

working on chapter 2 and I really need to come up with some default term Astringer can use to dismiss *checks notes* everyone who isn't her, because I'm getting dangerously close to having her sincerely use the word "normies"

there's literally nothing hotter than a girl who's just been humiliated beyond recovery nevertheless standing up, smoothing down her uniform, and dutifully returning to her post

the fact that she'll never *stay* at rock bottom is exactly what makes it fun to force her back down again and again and again and again and
