So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)

Reblog to increase sample size!

I believe the categories could be simplified. Austin’s characters are only NPCs during sorties, because during a faction game, Austin is functionally a player. This would make the likes of Exanceaster March a playable character. We could treat all such characters as just “characters” in this way.

But the Blue Channel PCs are a special case. It may make sense to have their own fattsexyperson bracket.

Then you know what could be fun? We can do a final round where the top 4 finalists of blue channel face off against top 4 non blue channel bracket just for the ultimate bragging rights. Could be cool.

Love this by the way. Brnine sweep

as we approach the end of palisade (wow!!) i have a some thoughts that i would like to get hammered out before i start these polls back up

i think this season has three types of characters in it:

PCs. which are thisbe, cori, brnine, phrygian, figure, eclectic, levi, the witch, and whoever jack plays in questlandia, as well as if any new characters like this show up in questlandia

characters controlled primarily by art and jack. general mourning, stargrave elcessor, gentian and his attendants, that cause party that got lost in dust (??? iirc that was basically all jack??), etc. these will be subject to a submission process

NPCs, characters controlled primarily by austin. exenceaster, arbitrage, jesset, gucci, whatever random mech grunt, etc. these will also be subject to a submission process.

now, i think group 2 could reasonably be called either PCs, NPCs, or their own group. personally i dislike grouping them with the PCs as i envision the PCs as the short and easily defined list i provided, but i think other people might really disagree with me on that. im ambivalent between the other two options though, so there's a poll! (at the end of the post)

ive honestly been mulling this over since the season started and haven't formed a strong opinion between being their own things and being NPCs, nor have i kicked my concern that people will be generally disappointed if i call them not-PCs

my main thought for splitting 2 and 3 up is that the gm and the faction game players have different roles in the system, so to some extent their characters have different roles in the story

my main thought for keeping them together is that i don't really want to adjudicate whether characters that get handed off a lot, or even just for key scenes, are type 2 or type 3. this is especially the case for faction game characters that are controlled by sort of, like, table consensus?

so, with that all put of the way

i would LOVE to hear what you think of this. reblogs with your thoughts are heartily encouraged

In this book you focus on the idea of gender as a global ‘phantasm’ – this charged, overdetermined, anxiety- and fear-inducing cluster of fantasies that is being weaponised by the right. How did you go about starting to investigate that? Judith Butler: When I was burned in effigy in Brazil in 2017, I could see people screaming about gender, and they understood ‘gender’ to mean ‘paedophilia.’ And then I heard people in France describing gender as a Jewish intellectual movement imported from the US. This book started because I had to figure out what gender had become. I was naïve. I was stupid. I had no idea that it had become this flash point for right-wing movements throughout the world. So I started doing the work to reconstruct why I was being called a paedophile, and why that woman in the airport wanted to kill me with the trolley. I’m not offering a new theory of gender here; I’m tracking this phantasm’s formation and circulation and how it’s linked to emerging authoritarianism, how it stokes fear to expand state powers. Luckily, I was able to contact a lot of people who translated Gender Trouble in different parts of the world, who were often gender activists and scholars in their own right. They told me about what’s happening in Serbia, what’s happening in Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Russia. So I became a student of gender again. I’ve been out of the field for a while. I stay relatively literate, of course, but I’ve written on war, on ethics, on violence, on nonviolence, on the pandemic… I’m not in gender studies all the time. I had to do a lot of reading.  There’s a lot of focus in the book on how the anti-gender movement has moved across the world in the past few decades, and how it’s inextricable from Catholic doctrine. It was clarifying for me; domestic anti-trans movements in the UK mostly self-identify as secular.  Judith Butler: In the UK, and even in the US, people don’t realise that this anti-gender ideology movement has been going on for some time in the Americas, in central Europe, to a certain degree in Africa, and that it’s arrived in the US by different routes, but it’s arrived without announcing its history. It became clear to me that a lot of the trans-exclusionary feminists didn’t realise where their discourse was coming from. Some of them do; some people who call themselves feminists are aligned with right-wing positions, and it’s confusing, but there it is. There’s an uncomfortable history of fascist feminism in movements like British suffragism, for instance. Judith Butler: Yes, and of racism. But when Putin made clear that he agreed with JK Rowling, she was probably surprised, and she rightly said, ‘no, I don’t want your alliance’, but it was an occasion for her to think about who she’s allying herself with, unwittingly or not. The anti-gender movement was first and foremost a defence of Biblical scripture, and of the idea that God created man and woman, and that the human form exists only in this duality and that without it, the human is destroyed – God’s creation is destroyed. So that morphed, as the Vatican’s doctrine moved into Latin America, into the idea that people who advocate ‘gender’ are forces of destruction who seek to destroy man, woman, the human, civilisation and culture.

PALISADE 45: " Oh I'll kill her if you want. No problem."

Clementine offers Lucia Whitestar, now captured as a war criminal, to General Mourning. Her iconoclasts await her command.

Shoutouts to Art for describing Clem's 'clasts as looking like toddler scribbles. It's my time to shine, baby. Also MEGA huge shoutouts to bird their fantastic cosplay of Clementine that truly inspired Clem's Russian sage "visor" it works so well.

it's so hard for me to see post after post every single day on this website essentially describing why kalvin brnine is the ideal fictional character, and yet knowing how few people actually listen to beloved actual play podcast friends at the table.
