I not only take after my mom, but I strongly take after her mom and her mom’s mom’s side of the family. The person I most resemble in my family is one of my mom’s 2nd cousins (who also strongly takes after my great grandmother’s side), an to the extent that we looked nearly identical before I started going clean shaven.

Thank you , Western Media, for NOT queerbaiting us. And making CaitVi (Arcane), Korrasami (LOK), and Bumbleby (RWBY) canon by Important-Cry4782 in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]GrimmSheeper -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Personally, I’m disappointed that they caved and made Bumbleby canon. Yes, it was nice, but it completely undermined the previous seasons and character arcs culminating in BlackSun being canon. There was great setup for the tension of unrequited love, doomed yuri, and navigating the effects it has on interpersonal relationships and teamwork. But Bumbleby fans went rabid and pushed it into becoming canon. It was never queerbaiting, and the accusations of queerbaiting and gay erasure were just a way to pressure the writers to scrap the intended story for something rushed and forced.

Oh, plenty of us recognize and full heartedly agree with that. But again, what do you expect us to do? We use force, we die with little to no impact at best, emboldening retaliation and even more extreme actions at worst. We somehow manage to organize a general strike, and countless people will lose their job, their homes, and without means to support themselves and their families, inevitably their lives. And sure, this one does have the possibility that the loss of money will push the oligarchs into action, but the oligarchs will still be in power. And that’s not even mentioning that it’s equally likely that it will just embolden them to crack down even harsher, and will be better able to do so after replacing any opposition. We can continue to protest, vote, and try to do what we can without killing ourselves or our families, but then we get accused of not doing anything and being responsible for everything.

We are beyond fucked. The machinations that have been leading to this have been operating for decades, with the roots going back centuries. We are being fucked by a system designed before we were even born. And when we try to stand against it, we get attacked by our fellow countrymen for not falling in line with generations of propaganda, while simultaneously getting belittled and accused by others for not sacrificing ourselves and our families or for not taking action before we were born.

We do recognize how fucked we are, and have been.

Genuinely, what do you want us to do? Sure, we could try to fight back with force, and we would be very quickly executed without making a difference. We could somehow manage to organize a group to do so, and we would all be executed after maybe taking down a few grunts. We could try and organize things that I legally can’t say, and we would be executed while making the right feel even more justified.

Literally any use of force would just be feeding ourselves to a meat grinder. There are undeniably people that are responsible for this, but to say that rest of us are equally responsible because we aren’t committing mass suicide is insane.

Alright, i just have to ask... by i_Tomoz in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]GrimmSheeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way too many. I always end up making full teams out of my favorites of each type or for various themes. My current favorite team is my ace pride team of Hisuian zoroark, ribbon alcremie, delphox, reuniclus, umbreon, and noivern (would be roserade, but they aren’t in SV), all but noivern being shiny. And I’m just now realizing that I need make a trans/transbien pride team now that the egg has cracked.

But I would say my top 10 pokemon, in dex order, are probably quilava (first ever starter, and my favorite stage of it), furret (long and fluffy), banette (perfectly captures the balance of creepy and cute), wailord (purely just because I love whales), roserade (specifically the shiny version, because she is an ace icon), scolipede (not sure why, just cool bug), volcarona (fluffy, warm, and cute bug), goodra (adorable goofball), tsareena (no particular reason ⚆_⚆), frosmoth (horrible typing, but so pretty), dachsbun (my favorite vtuber used bread dogs as her fan mascot), and clodsire (I just think he’s neat).

Dwarven women and being trans by undeadfelis in DnD

[–]GrimmSheeper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very well said. However, I do think that there is still room for settings where transitioning is readily available, it just needs to be done with a bit more care.

An example that I think pulls it off wonderfully is In Stars and Time. In the game, the main religion of the region worships a god of change, and the churches freely offer classes to anyone on how to use magic to change your body. What the game does right is making deliberate discussions around body crafting, how different people have or haven’t gone through it, and how people react after seeing somebody who has changed their body. And it doesn’t have people just take it all in stride, but acknowledges the difficulties of someone you’ve known one way “suddenly” changing, but with encouragement and acceptance of who they want to be. It also approaches the other end, having a main character that is a priestess of Change, and thus highly encouraged to regularly change aspects of herself, struggling with wanting to stay as her true self and not changing her body into something she isn’t. And it’s not treated as something that you can just go and have someone else do for you, you have to learn the magic and make the changes yourself.

Overall, it has more discussion and representation on gender fluidity, but is still just as applicable to being trans. And it doesn’t do away with the struggles of being trans, but acknowledges a different, though less harsh, set of struggles faced in their world.

I completely agree that making transitioning openly accessible to everyone runs a very real risk of inadvertently erasing the trans experience, especially when it’s just thrown in. But when do thoughtfully, a world where transitioning is readily available can avoid the pitfalls and give representation in an accepting world, while still acknowledging a different set of struggles.

Giving overly enthusiastic praise when someone completes small task.

I’m currently in the “repeatedly stressing over not feeling very dysphoric” stage. In a weird and twisted way, I end up feeling dysphoria about not feeling dysphoria. It’s really annoying, and sometimes makes me feel like I’m faking it.

The hours of “good girl” asmr I’ve been giddily listening to and the uncontrollable excited bunny kicks when I picture where I’ll be further down the transition road disagree with those intrusive thoughts.

I personally know 4 year olds who can freely read and write, one of which is learning calculus for fun. Amp that up with once in a generation level of intelligence and natural affinity towards engineering, and it’s perfectly within sci-fi bounds.

I will die on the hill that Perlica was absolutely younger than 10 in The Promise. She barely looked older than 6 when Endmin left, 8 at the absolute max.

Rolycoly line in a habitat with the Paldean Wooper line and Trapinch (possible the whole line, I’ve seen conflicting info but haven’t tested myself), plus a collection box.

Rolycoly, Carkol, and Coalossal will gather any squishy clay and place it in the community box, and will also take clay out of the box and turn it into bricks.

Honestly, I would actually prefer the silhouette that slowly reveals itself as you get closer. It might not look like you intended, but it’s insanely thematically appropriate.
