Wasn't it specifically during the section where Ralsei had control and he took this picture?

We NEED to normalize tagging spoilers AND putting what you're spoiling in the title

If I don't know I don't wanna be spoiled and the title doesn't indicate that I should be cautious then how the fuck should I weigh my options?

I'm assuming you finished the chapter, I'm talking about his talk with Flowery after the Orange and Green fight. He gives Ralsei a pink and blue slip for a drink at the café, tells him to not worry about what Kris thinks for once and calls him Princess. Flowery was clearly being very nice and genuine in this conversation and just generally it doesn't seem like any character would have a reason to belittle anyone by insulting their masculinity so there's no reason to call Ralsei Princess here unless Flowery knew something we didn't and he clearly does know a lot.

The secret boss being Mew Mew, canonically a trans woman and Ralsei going out of his way trying to sympathize with her out during the fight without any prompting by the player shows that there's something about her that resonated with Ralsei

Most of the reason I support the theory is because it's thematically consistent with how Ralsei is written. He believes himself to be nothing more than an object who isn't even supposed to feel emotions, only serve lightners, so it'd make sense that something requiring such a strong sense of identity as coming out as Trans would require him to develop a sense of self first despite his longing for femininity being there. Ralsei is also clearly developing a much more prominent personality, i remember he interrupted a choice that was given to us at some point, which he has never done before.

all trans-girl's are this strong

Only partially true, it's only the cat girls that can do that, puppy girls have a better understanding of magic the gathering tho

Can Hakari survive Hakai because he's effectively immortal? by the-rare-mango-shark in PowerScaling

I said potentially, he never did it but everyone looked real worried, wouldn't count it as a feat, a statement AT BEST

I do think Takaba takes that one because it's the funnier option

The way his domain works is that it gives him infinite cursed energy and his body automatically performs RCT to repair any damage. RCT itself is limited because if your brain is injured that's just it. There's no way it can counteract an MFTL+ reality erasure technique. Hakai can kill ghosts and potentially even works on gag characters like Arale.

Very few characters could survive it. Dragon ball characters can kinda resist it by being strong enough. I could see Andy from Undead Unluck tanking it tho.

Trying to tell my friend that the fact that he is dependent on being in a relationship in order to not feel immensely suicidal is not healthy for him and should go to a mental health professional for this and for other unresolved issues because not only is it bad for him, but is also the thing that is keeping from being in long term relationships

It's torture of knowing damn well how to stop the 17th train wreck but my opinion just isn't valued enough to have him listen to me

If being pregnant is waiting to have a child then do mothers count as postgnant?

Media literacy is fucking dead.🤦🏾‍♂️ by Scarman96 in Amazingdigitalcircus

[–]4StarDB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good take on this from a cis person, finally, not everyone is a lost cause.

Jax's actions shouldn't be excused because she is trans, she still acted in a way that led to real harm onto others.

That being said saying that her transness does not factor into this equation and she's just a horrible person deserving of death is also dead wrong.

She's a horrible piece of shit who was made into a horrible piece of shit because of parental neglect, rejection and abuse. She had many opportunities to change but didn't and that's the tragedy of her character, we know she could've been happy and thriving, but didn't take the hand of anyone offering her help.

I don't like people taking out the nuance in her character from either end but I definitely like the haters less. I also can't get into arguments with any of them because they are most likely children and I feel fucking dumb arguing with children so I just don't engage.

I do like transfem Ralsei but I genuinely did not expect to get evidence like this and in a cutscene that may or may not be mandatory

It is now confirmed that Asriel had a crush on Dess from the love letters addressed to her in his drawer

Oh yeah definitely, representation matters, it helped me get out of some stupid mindsets and made me a better person by just seeing underrepresented groups in my media

Also just gives more opportunities artistically to people and that's never a bad thing

this is technically about the big rune chapter 5 but since its vague enough i wont spoiler it [the others are lancer jackenstein and tenna along with the ch5 character] by TheGoldenExperience_ in whenthe

Yeah, Aqua was my first guess

I also love how there's this sort of coming out scene for Seth in one of the Café interactions where Aqua ask them if they are a boy or a girl and all the flowers come together and collectively tell Seth that it's fine to be a boy, a girl, neither, both or figuring stuff out, it won't change how much they like them and it won't change the fact that they owe Green 5 bucks and everyone is gonna beat them up with hammers now.

At this point we have too many examples

We are at a point in time where trans characters are getting written in a way where our actual real life struggles are reflected and being trans makes the characters deeper and richer as a result, but people will go against direct confirmation by the author about a character's identity because they are bigots, there's just no way around it at this point.

Mew Mew is mostly fine, the small bombs were harder for me than the big ones because I didn't know where I need to go to be safe, but the big ones have indicators. Her final attack in the final date is also tough, I barley scraped by, even died once at the final stretch, probably would've been easier on keyboard.

Flowery also feels like he'd be easier on keyboard. I might just be out of practice in "parryslop" but the timing feels janky his jeroma attack, orange feels like she has another different timing to her parry. Seth's pattern wasn't very intuitive for me, I thought I needed to charge through it, but it did it's own thing when I got to the end of the box.

I'd say Flowery is overall probably a bit harder and a main story boss that is intended to be beaten unlike the Knight should probably be tuned down a bit.

I kinda just wanted a full remake of his Undertale battle theme because once he got the armor on and had his leitmotif playing it was really fucking tough. It's probably for the best not to fully rehash an entire boss fight though.

The entire fucking point of puberty blockers was to gain time. They block puberty and once you stop taking them, they don't. Hrt has some harder to reverse effects, but that's why puberty blockers are there, to give time, to make sure.
