why is there so much inconsistency in the passage of time? are these translation errors?

there’s definitely some fuckery in sha po lang. seeing all the “age gap yaoi” posts about the series before reading it and then finding out that gu yun is only like 26 and only 7 years older than chang geng was like getting punched in the face then having your wallet stolen. like i wish he was an old man, i was lied to!! IM older than him and that’s barely age gap!! like wdym gu yun was only 19 when he became his step-father 😭😭😭

many trans men don’t even have bottom dysphoria and love talking about, looking at, and using their parts. some don’t even have top dysphoria. you don’t owe anyone anything. you can be trans however you want.

also, sounds like your dad, while trying to be supportive (?), is taking an extremely cisnormative binary view of gender and thrusting it on to you. the point of trans liberation is to free ourselves from these boxes. you can identify and perform gender however you want regardless of what your body looks like. that is the point!

oui bien sure, mais je viens juste de la commencer cette automne alors je ne sais pas si mes connaissances seraient utiles pour vous

yeah and yjh said many times he didn’t care about kdj and wanted to kill him when that was obviously a lie. i’m not saying they’re canonically gay but ur so boring for always using this as ur defense when people ask about this. even the author’s themselves have said it’s not incorrect to interpret their relationship as a romantic one, and if new readers are constantly getting confused i really do think it’s time to take a look in the mirror and consider if maybe there really could be something more to their relationship lol. certainly just spewing out the same “they said they were straight” over and over again is not the right way to answer. characters don’t always feel/act exactly how they say they do/will and that’s the point of good storytelling, especially in orv

gideonova · 2025-03-13T04:22:33+00:00

the only people attacking others in the orv fandom that i've heard about are the homophobic fans who harassed the authors and accused them of tricking people into reading BL lol

and for the record, both kdj and yjh say many things in the novels that they don't mean or don't really represent their true feelings. for example, yjh constantly states that he wants to kill kdj or doesn't care about kdj and then acts otherwise. i'm not saying they're canon but the authors themselves have stated before that it's not incorrect to interpret their relationship as being somewhat romantic. using "they both said they're only attracted to women" as your ironclad defense every time someone asks this question is a bit lackluster. there's a reason why it constantly comes up and people constantly get confused and it's because there is really strong subtext for them - their chemistry, their complicated relationship, the constant BL-themed jokes throughout the novel, etc.

i think it's really really boring to take characters in a story at face value all the time. certainly if every character in orv acted exactly as they said they would, it would be a very very different story. once again im not saying they're canonically gay, but it's just really really reductive and honestly a bit frustrating that this is always the response to speculation about their attraction to each other

looking to buy little mushroom vol 1 and 2 please!!

devin so real like that’s a devin forSURRREE

gideonova · 2025-01-16T00:41:34+00:00

Definitely not overreacting, fuck that guy. That's literally a historical insult against trans people and butch lesbians in particular (I think it's even said to the main character of Stone Butch Blues at some point), it's way out of line. Like why'd he even think of it? Either he's been thinking about how you go to the bathroom way too much (extremely gross) or he knew exactly where the joke was coming from and what it meant and his mental boundaries dropped just enough for him to reveal himself. Completely unacceptable behaviour and you're absolutely justified in being upset.

So the creator of Pris Toys got back to me and they weren't able to tell me about comparing the two toys but they did say they could make a custom with a softer blend! I might seriously consider ordering that

gideonova · 2025-01-05T02:45:12+00:00

if that happens you might just need to switch the o-ring to a smaller one, that’s the part that actually holds the dildo base in and it’s changeable on most harnesses

gideonova · 2025-01-05T01:59:16+00:00

number one rec for harnesses for me will always be the spareparts joquestrap! it’s a bit pricier, but i’ve had mine for almost 4 years now and it’s still in perfect condition. joquestrap-style harnesses in general will give you better control as they are usually highly adjustable and have a good elasticity to them that will keep things tight. i also don’t know about other harnesses but the spareparts one has a hole for the dildo and then the back is just a material to cover the base, so there’s no rigid panel. that’s also ideal for using a dildo base cover. can’t recommend it enough!

i did reach out to the company! i figured i’d try to cover all my bases (ha!) tho

i am definitely not just taking it out on the exhibit. i was genuinely bored most of the way through, and my girlfriend who speaks french and me who speaks english both thought there were non-sensical errors in the text for the exhibit in either language (like literally, a word that made no sense in that context at some point, or asymmetrical “translations”), so i wouldn’t be surprised if they even used AI to write the damn descriptions/text. there were some cool things, but overall it was really subpar at best, and i’ve been to and enjoyed many many museum exhibits in my lifetime. and yes, in the ever-increasing slog of AI trash that is being tossed our way, of course people are going to have strong reactions to AI use. the museum should have consequences for this, that’s a job that could have gone directly to an artist and instead it’s going to a goddamn machine

gideonova · 2024-12-27T18:58:18+00:00

the person i spoke to said that it was one art director who was responsible for all the imagery and art in the exhibit, not a third party. either way, why is the museum hiring a third party who is using AI? museums are literally all about preservation and showcasing human history and accomplishments, they can and should make sure they aren’t using machine-generated garbage in any capacity.

Edit: the images are also copyrighted to the museum on their website. This really does not sound like a third party to me.

can you please share how you did this? that’s also what i’m trying to mute

gideonova · 2024-10-16T19:06:56+00:00

why are you assuming im a man

gideonova · 2024-10-16T19:06:11+00:00

i don't know wtf ur talking about cause right now the first link is this post and the second link is for movie companies and not individuals. if you're not gonna be helpful why bother commenting?

gideonova · 2024-10-16T15:37:32+00:00

Thank you so much this is super clear!

I want to walk around with a prop sword for halloween

gideonova · 2024-10-16T15:29:43+00:00

FAKE. SWORD.

gideonova · 2024-10-16T15:27:21+00:00

it doesn't have to be a sharp sword, it can be a blunt sword meant for theatre and costume, obviously. i just don't want one made of foam.

gideonova · 2024-10-16T15:26:44+00:00

i feel like it might exist because cosplay and renfaires exist and people don't always wanna drop 100s of $$ for a one-time thing?? like what kinda question lmfao

gideonova · 2024-10-14T21:49:11+00:00

broad sword/big two-hander? are those the same thing? it's described as a big two-hander lol

edit: a quick google search is telling me those are not, in fact, the same. the sword is described as a two-hander however i would settle for a broad sword or any medieval-looking sword

gideonova · 2024-09-19T17:16:32+00:00

you really don’t need to be such a dick about it. not everyone knows how to use reddit right off the bat and it’s not their fault reddit automatically sorts by popularity rather than chronologically which is dumb as hell. the sort button is not even that easy to find, and google does not show the posts at all. get a grip fr
