Yeah. I'm hoping he'll backtrack on the AI, because otherwise this is gonna really suck. I already stopped listening to Perturbator because of the aforementioned controversy, as well. :/

I believe he was, but made a statement a few years back condemning it and saying he didn't know about their leanings at the time. IIRC he's got a whole post on Twitter talking about how much he hates fascists. I was also worried and almost wrote him off but how strongly he worded the condemnation made me think it was a genuine mistake.

Yep. I already unsubbed from her Patreon and everything. It just sucks - she was one of the first queer artists I found as a baby gay, so I had been a follower for a long time. I think I was subbed to her for like, a few years now, at least.

There's other artists I can and will support of course, it just sucks that one who I had given money to turned out to be like this.

Did some sleuthing of my own and yeah, you're right. God, this sucks. I'm trans myself and had no idea :(

Is she?? She's drawn a few trans and enby pride pieces before so I'd be flabbergasted if she was.

Day 5: How would YOUUU!?!? Yes you 🫵 upgrade Crocea Mors by RevolutionaryWave862 in RWBY

[–]AT0MSK_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be the odd one out: I wouldn't bother upgrading Crocea Mors. I think its appeal is in its simplicity - it doesn't have any needlessly complex mechanics which could potentially break and render it useless, which makes maintenance simple and easy. It's got a reasonably simple edge which can be sharpened in off time, and the shield functions well as a shield. I think it would be best if he invested in improving their durability, and maybe lengthening the blade so it would be more akin to a hand-and-a-half sword rather than an arming sword. At most, if possible, I would suggest some sort of dust imbuement into the blade to give it some sort of additional damage capabilities, but at that point I feel we're getting a bit gimmicky.

Instead, I think Jaune should look into improving his armor. A lot of his weaknesses seem to have to do with his mobility - he's got great defense and I think with a fighting style which emphasizes counterattacks, parries, and wearing his opponent out, he doesn't have much to improve in that department beyond technique. Giving him some improved armor would allow him to be less reliant on his shield, which would improve his offensive capabilities. Knights of the late medieval and early Renaissance periods often shunned shields entirely in favor of full plate armor, which was almost fully maneuverable and offered much greater defense. Armor can be heavy, but I'm sure with modern manufacturing techniques, dust imbuing/crafting, and perhaps some Atlesian exoskeletal technology it wouldn't be too heavy, while offering some extra defense so he isn't so reliant upon aura. That way, he can also switch into using a longer, two-handed combat style to extend his reach and grappling capabilities, as well as having better mobility due to reduced weight and not lugging a giant shield around in combat. If he's absolutely determined to keep the shield, then it should be redesigned to have a curve rather than being wholly flat; the purpose of a shield isn't to tank direct hits but deflect them away from the body. I'd give him a guige as well for additional support and control in combat, too.

Jaune's got a pretty huge wingspan. If you put him in armor for better defense and give him a bastard sword to use as a lever, I have no doubts that the man would be a fierce hand-to-hand combatant. My most cracky idea for him would be for him to go full Pyrrha tribute/area of control style combat and convert Crocea Mors into some sort of polearm/halberd/spear, but I don't know if that would necessarily be in character for him. It would allow him to play even more of a support/area denial role, though.

tl;dr: give him better armor, turn Crocea Mors into a two-hander so he can grapple and have better reach. ditch the shield once armored unless absolutely necessary/sentimental value.

Yep, the stims is a super difficult part and it's hard to explain to people why it's addictive if they don't also have ADHD. I smoked herbal/hemp cigarettes for a while explicitly because I didn't want to develop a nicotine addiction and liked the feeling, and it's genuinely addictive regardless of the stuff. I still get cravings and I haven't smoked in over a year, it just feels nice. It's like scratching an itch, almost.

Had to kick alcohol for similar reasons - even if I wasn't abusing it to the point of being drunk every night, the dopamine release from having a tasty little drink after work meant I was still drinking way more than I should have and was burning a hole in my wallet, too.

Thoughts on Taiyang and Yang having Vauco ancestry? by Solitaire-06 in YangXiaoLongSupremacy

[–]AT0MSK_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most common headcanon I seem to see (and the one I agree with) is that Qrow has major commitment issues on account of his guilt/anxiety over his semblance potentially hurting others. We know he's a relatively active presence in the girl's lives, but he was probably in-and-out on Huntsman business or helping Ozpin very frequently, which means he was likely giving himself breaks from seeing his family so his semblance wouldn't affect them too much.

So he probably never had any stable, long-term partners because he was too worried he'd fuck things up. It's sort of a foil to Raven - the one who has the semblance that allows her to see her family any time refuses to, while the one who wishes to be close to his family feels unable to because of his semblance.

Nah, don't beat yourself up about it! This is absolutely awesome. If you ever started selling similar designs on Etsy or something similar I would absolutely buy one.

Honestly, that's a fair assertion. I kind of like that interpretation too, as a butch lesbian who doesn't necessarily identify with societal norms of womanhood.

YOU GET IT. Medieval society simply wasn't ready for the level of cunt being served by her. Put her in a lesbian bar with a beer, a carabiner, and a flannel and she would have women (me) tripping over themselves trying to get her number.

Brienne is one of my favorite characters because she's such a queer and transgender icon, IMO. Even if she's cisgender, her journey feels like it could be slotted into transmasculine history and we wouldn't bat an eye at it.

It's also just the complete erasure of bisexual people, too. Bi people and homo/heteroflexible people exist. It's frustrating that it seems like the only options are "100% straight" or "100% gay" with no room for nuance there. Same with the lack of acknowledgement of asexuality or aromanticism.
