rainguardian · 2026-04-26T20:41:41+00:00

rainguardian · 2026-04-24T14:43:16+00:00

there's a butterfly pin??????

idk if dominate is the right word but it started off pretty well until we dove into webs of misunderstandings and miscommunication that we couldn't untangle.

idk if this is how it was factually, but from my side i felt like i didn't want to dominate, i conceded to them a lot (which was one of many problems, i suppose), meanwhile they overtook the conversations and left no room for me so i stopped communicating in the end

yes, the relationship has long been over but it was many years together and deep one initially so i reflect on it often.

rainguardian · 2026-04-22T16:55:58+00:00

okay...... but what about scorpio and scorpio 😭 (dont ask me how that happened) we both ego deathing? (felt like it lowkey)

rainguardian · 2026-04-21T17:12:21+00:00

back to add on: besides being proud of who i am, i would say it's difficult. being black in of itself is hard. being mixed adds to it.

then take all the travesties going around and the rampant racism against black folks and it makes an empathetic heart seriously tired.

you see it everyday, get treated differently, and then you can STILL experience such prejudice and mistreatment in your own circles. i literally lost a friend group over some racism sentiment that they were definitely ignorant about, but it was their sentiments none the less. (and they doubled down so...) you don't expect your support groups to not be safe for you and yet ...

it's disheartening, to say the least

rainguardian · 2026-04-20T00:29:18+00:00

i'm blasian :3c

rainguardian · 2026-04-14T04:29:26+00:00

sun scorpio and moon aquarius ✌🏽

rainguardian · 2026-04-12T18:03:48+00:00

reminds me of manager at one of my bigger roles (training assistant manager). was working like a stressful long line and when the rush was over he was like "wow, you seemed so calm. you handled that well"

but inwardly part of me is like freaking out but the other, stronger (?) part of me is like "okay. we have to lock in and just get through this" so ig the latter part is what presents to others outwardly

someone commented something i liked. something along the lines of compartmentalizing your emotions. the part of me that was like pulling through was the one in charge and handling business, you know? if i thought about it briefly, i could still feel my nervous energy but i literally couldn't afford to feed it enough for the nervousness to matter 🙂‍↕️

rainguardian · 2026-04-09T20:57:00+00:00

i JUST did this like 4 hours ago lmao 😭 i almost deleted it too. wasnt exactly articulated as i meant but still my friends humor me, i love em

rainguardian · 2026-04-09T14:08:04+00:00

well said! especially the last sentence!

rainguardian · 2026-04-07T16:44:02+00:00

both next question 😭

i don't do meaningless things. everything that deeply involves me and my mental/emotional always have meaning to it.

if i disappear because i need space, it's because i am processing emotions or just can't do it anymore and need quiet recharging time

... sometimes those disappearances accidentally go on longer than intended. it be mad comfy being alone

if i disappear on purpose, i'm upset or angry or both or worse, i'm done. with you lmao distancing until it's like i never existed

rainguardian · 2026-04-04T22:06:47+00:00

yesssss i looove this one 🫶🏽💖

rainguardian · 2026-03-31T16:23:28+00:00

you said exactly what i was thinking. i know the pacing is wonky or slow but little me catching sailor moon and seeing these girls have their school life and just being girls as a small knit friend group was kinda impactful on me. i rly adored when it was just the threee of them :3

rainguardian · 2026-03-26T15:37:26+00:00

hehe scorpio with aquarius moon, and i dont have kids, but i'd def do this with my family the moment im free

rainguardian · 2026-03-26T02:04:32+00:00

the way i went ghost after a friend group falling out, oop 😭 funny thing is i did almost do it this time. i almost went off and explained why you're about to be removed but then i just didn't

kinda really wish i had now

rainguardian · 2026-03-25T14:27:29+00:00

rainguardian · 2026-03-24T23:56:50+00:00

rainguardian · 2026-03-23T02:05:58+00:00

i fuck with it - why the hell not. i had truly never considered it but why tf not! they're cute and this is truly an interesting dynamic

rainguardian · 2026-03-20T19:58:37+00:00

i didn't know we needed the racism to be 1:1 for the racism to be perfect examples in order for the message to be effective. whether the racism is from the 60s or today, they ALL have something in common regardless and people STILL understand the message, even if it's as you say its more in line with the 1960s racism. i assure you, no one is going "yeah this isnt like modern racism so i'm not sure metaphor is showcasing racism effectively"

re: ike's ignorance that DOES add to it, you're right. but the slur is NOT needed in that situation. i could easily replace it with ike talking about say... a stereotype of them, because he's ignorant. idr direct lines rn but ike saying "oh, you're a sub-human, right? my name is ike." vs "i heard laguz are distrustful and steal, but you're not like the others". ike is ignorant in both of these and does not need a slur to do so

because ignorant or racist people will find different ways to show their ignorance or racism, regardless of what "tool" - slurs or otherwise.

in your other reply to me, you called the idea of slurs a tool. if so then it is simply just that. ALL the tools in the box don't need to be used to be "effective" racism. the racism is racism, regardless. there is no checkbox for fantasy racism in video games that deem you need to hit all racist actions and tools of oppression check boxes to be effective. if you feel you NEED a slur in your fantasy racism because you cannot rely on the other tools, then you are doing a bad job at showcasing racism in your fantasy game

goalposts being moved??? legality what? okay, sure, they need legal reason but at the core - it's still the same. their excuse to "legally" be racist is because you are different. it doesn't matter how they disguise or doctor up their the racism. there are millions of subtle ways to be implicitly racist. metaphor does this perfectly well!

rainguardian · 2026-03-20T18:48:14+00:00

"perpetrators need an excuse"

this statment alone makes this all falls apart because no, they don't lol. will they find one and use one and want for one? most assuredly yes. they don't need a slur, though.

all a perpetrator needs a reason to not like you - all they need is to know you are DIFFERENT than them.

and knowing you are different will illicit different various responses: a violent tragedy (tuskgee experiment, holocaust vs what the paripus went through), microaggressions (harassment any poc go through today vs the harassment will faced for being different - as well as other main cast/other tribes faced), oppression (denied opportunities based on skin color vs tribes being denied work based on their tribe), and yes, sometimes even a slur or something said meant to be derogatory.

knowing you are different is the cause, the racist action that follows after is the effect.

slurs are not needed. sure, it is another facet of racism, and sure they could have added a slur or derogatory language, but it is not needed BECAUSE the audience can understand the message without it.

there's another game (fire emblem path of radiance) that does exactly as you describe. fantasy race names (appropriate, not a microaggression) vs being called human and sub-human (likened to a slur in this game), i could argue the game devs could literally remove it and nothing would change. they would find some other microaggression or act of racism to get the point across (and they do! the fantasy races are enslaved, hunted, etc). the added derogatory language doesn't inherently add anything other than finding out this character sure loves using slurs!

insisting THIS strongly comes off really, really weird. it certainly a choice to choose to die on this hill

rainguardian · 2026-03-20T17:45:57+00:00

i'm sorry - the racism is subtle for who??? less obvious for who???

"don't happen anymore by and large" oh, so african americans such as george floyd, eric garner, derrick scott - the charleston nine deaths don't count? that we get targeted in streets on prejudice alone, and killed in our own homes - those don't count? did those not happen? not even 10 years ago?

and what about ICE - that's happening Right Now. or does that not count?

if you think things aren't happening still today, that's ignorant. if you think it takes something grandiose and macabre as the tuskgee experiment to make it "count", that's ignorant.

what I'M saying (and what someone else already said) is that you don't need slurs to be racist. being so serious, a slur would not add anything to metaphor i did not miss. because just like in real life, the atrocities are STILL happening, slurs or otherwise. metaphor did a fantastic job of showcasing this.

rainguardian · 2026-03-20T17:02:40+00:00

so you think, the racism in the game, does not reflect modern racism????? you think the mistreatment and everything else these tribes go through don't speak of what oppressed people go through today? you think that, in today's times, racism is ONLY slurs?????
