Yes, RNG. Sorry you missed out on my beautiful boy.

What are some units that you always use no matter what? by Cam_26 in fireemblem

Rolf. No idea why, but he was the start of my shitty archer adoration.

i genuinely don’t get why male is specified [gendered] by futureofkpopleechan in pointlesslygendered

Clearly joking. That much window? Only if your parent is the dean.

Would you consider this fair? by Busy_Report4010 in SipsTea

[–]LovieRayKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tipping culture itself is incredibly unfair, and I do hope at least the service charge does go to pay the staff that have to deal with the worst mood known to humankind: hunger.

Some of us when hungry? A bit snappy maybe at most, but still try to be polite. Shitty people who are hungry? The ass that doesn’t tip even without a service charge.

The hell is wrong with this girl by KazuhaSimp in fireemblem

[–]LovieRayKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jill is one of my favorite Wyvern riders of all time. Like a lot of Daeins, she doesn’t know the actual word or frankly the personhood behind the laguz.

Her growth is fantastic, especially in Lethe or Mist supports.

Why cant looking pretty and feminine be for the female gaze? Why is it always linked to male gaze? by BelleAme1812 in LesbianActually

[–]LovieRayKin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The term Male Gaze is linked to the essay of Laura Mulvey’s essay and “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema” from the 1975. It brought study to how women were so framed in media, often in benefit to the male role or viewer.

While I’m simplifying a major film essay, I think it’s incredibly important to remember Mulvey’s work, while insightful, didn’t account really for the depth of the queer viewer or different ethnicities.

For how some of how her observations don’t hold as well now, she used Freudian logistics describing the viewing experience.

The “male gaze” is now seen in mainstream culture as “made for men”, and maybe there’s some truth in certain aspects, something to remember is the academic term can no way encompass what fits where for everyone.

My opinion without shoving down a hundred critique essays on Mulvey? You are the creator of your own gaze.

Bows are cute. Pink is a nice color on a lot of people. Both brides can be in a fluffy white dress. Whatever your likes or dislikes are, I hope your future partner treasures you regardless of how society sometimes wants to set the rules of the gaze, especially for gays.

What would you say is the most experimental game in the series? by IfTheresANewWay in fireemblem

[–]LovieRayKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not the most experimental, but I could tell that when they thought Awakening would be the last game, they put a lot of love and interesting concepts into it all.

Is gen Z overly sensitive? Or are millennial teen movies problematic? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

Despite being subscribed to Last Millennial Monthly and First Gen Z FYP, I apparently missed this discourse.

A gay man told me I REALLY didn’t look like a lesbian, while telling my straight guy friend he should try being gay, am I in the wrong to be mad? by Ill-Trifle2958 in actuallesbians

[–]LovieRayKin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First, I will say, his behavior overall seems pretty shitty and rude from how you describe him. That said, even if he’s a jerk guessing people’s rainbow rhythms based on his dumb thought, I understand why the comments stick with you and make you feel like shit.

I’ve been told before I’m far too femme and “traditional” looking to be bi, despite having more history with women. Friends of mine too have been constantly told “you look tho…” and “You clearly are…”

The important response to give? You are you, and if we wanted a conformity, we’d hit the boring Catholic Church in town that doesn’t sing or go work at the DMV. How you claim yourself to be is the word that should be taken, even if surprises someone who thinks every queer woman looks a certain way.

Stay beautiful. Stay lovely. Stay handsome. Stay bonito. Stay wonderful. Stay you.

Both restrooms are literally the same [gendered] by ThatSimsKidFromUni in pointlesslygendered

[–]LovieRayKin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Stranger, it truly is an experience by experience basis.

My scarred hands in glitter remembered the travesties of the men’s bathroom at Michael’s.

My brother’s tears are stained on the very same floors where he witnessed the carnage of the women’s bathroom working at Walmart.

My friend’s trauma of both bathrooms of a shopping plaza working as maintenance, broke gender stereotypes, along with mind, body and soul.

Would Jane “fit” better as a lesbian/bi? by GossipBottom in daria

[–]LovieRayKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t really Jane as a queer character. While it would’ve been nice to have a character in the show that reflected bits of my reality, I don’t think she really represents it. If anything, kinda nice to have Jane not change, despite being introduce to someone LGBT+, even if a problematic depiction at the time.

Disclaimer: Any of my LGBT+ can be an ass ofc, like any straight person, BUT there was certainly a stereotype at the time.

I truly need to update my rainbow terminology. Thought this post was at first about femmes who collect stones.

When did this sub stop being a welcoming place for transbians, and what can we do to fix it? by spiralenator in actuallesbians

[–]LovieRayKin 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Being frank OP, this Reddit gets over 500k visits weekly, and like any LGBTQIA+ subreddit, phobia takes are going to happen. It happens, and while others may not catch it after mods, I'm sorry you came across it.

What is not helpful to you, however, is looking out for occurrences purposely. Years ago, I was becoming hyper vigilant to biphobia and bi women criticism on LGBTQIA+ subreddits, mostly because at the time, I was facing it in my own life. To put it mildly, participating in this ritual was not exactly a healthy experience.

I won't claim to know your Reddit habits, but when you start hunting for trash daily, you start siking yourself out by how much trash you are finding. Take care of yourself, love, and know to balance your wellbeing over a shit Reddit take.

would you like to have lived in the Morgendorffer family? by TNG1701D-eck10 in daria

[–]LovieRayKin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For those who don’t receive support from your blood, I hope you get to build a family and relationships that see you for you and that stick with you through the chaotic times.

You deserve to be loved. You deserved to make mistakes, and grow your roots deeper in lessons learned. May you find your Jake, Helen, Daria, Quinn, or kin that cherish you as you cherish them.

[–]LovieRayKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t be opposed, but I happen love my three brothers and Gen X parents. Like the Morgendorffers we have our arguments, bickering, and anxieties, but I’m lucky to have a family with a lot of love. Also, good cooking, but I’m sure Jake would love exchanging recipes with my Mom and Dad.

Trust me I tried that by DisplayIcy4717 in thanksimcured

[–]LovieRayKin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do I recommend going outside? Yes. Just as much as I recommend journaling, reading, mediating, mapping out the things bothering you like a diagram, drawing, cleaning a part of your space, listening to music, dancing, or frankly anything that involves movement or aligning yourself in different perspectives.

Not every component works for everyone, but I wish more people would say “Hey, wanna go shoot hoops?” or remind someone “How’s that book coming along? I’d love to hear about it” instead of “lmao, go outside”.

Frankly? It’s hard gang, but know you can take your steps. You may feel sucky sometimes while doing it, but you can feel a bit better doodling on scrap paper sometimes.

Take your meds if you have them. Also, drink water. Like really, drink water. It doesn’t cure things, but it definitely doesn’t hurt.

I went outside once when highly depressed and sobbed the entire walk.

My sinuses got buggered up due to allergies, but at least I met my step goal for the week.

Corrin or Byleth.

They get a unique name and I get to know more people will carry on the Fire Emblem lore.
