so cool that a bunch of losers on here screamed at me for weeks bc I said the word detransition has transphobic connotations and now prageru is publishing ads on twitter about #detrans stories uwu

#this is not new to be clear detrans as a word has had this baggage for a very long time and is used widely by the press #but this is again a case of sheltered internet bubble behaviour that does not interact with the cis world as it exists in real life

[dimiclaudeblaigan]

nah but like

they're "seiros lapdogs" because they're fighting back against the people who attacked them completely unprovoked??? also because it so happens that thales is at garreg mach so they have to go there to reclaim the area to defeat him???

i just hate this because it's just perpetuating things about faerghus and its people that just aren't true. it frames it like they jumped into the war willingly for the church and that they're only here for the church. like nah buddy, it's not faerghus' fault you're out here fighting to protect thales and ludwig.

it also is batshit to me how he and leopold are fighting to stop faerghus from advancing but like... they know what's happening to the empire and that edelgard isn't even calling the shots anymore, yet they still stupidly fight for the very person who is literally razing their country and burning their villages. they know the empire is in shambles and that the kingdom isn't targeting them and is specifically aiming for gm to get it back from who? thales; who, mind, at this point is in his real form and not posing as arundel anymore. everything is laid out plainly, but they still act like faerghus is the bad guy.

but yeah, okay. faerghus BaD for defending themselves, fighting back, finding out who is behind all the puppeteering and heading to take him out. sure, that makes them seiros lapdogs. like what are you, an agarthan mouthpiece??? may as well be like yeah you go retreat and leave you agarthan lapdog. if they don't realize it's Someone Else in charge of course, then ludwig lapdog works fine too.

and it sucks because other than this shit, i like waldemar just fine as a character. it's just like, it feels like they forced someone to have to stick in that final faerghus BaD insult before the grand finale so they just randomly picked someone to remind us that faerghus is Always Wrong as long as they continue to fight back and prevent being attacked in the future.

waldemar here is just basically ag caspar. fighting and risking his life for thales, who is destroying the empire and basically holding the emperor hostage. if the writing here had any decent plot points, they would've all stopped and have been like hey wait, shouldn't we be fighting to get our emperor back? why are we stopping these guys from killing the people who are destroying this country?

and like, they literally went from siding with ludwig during the insurrection to siding with edelgard in this timeline to... jumping immediately back to ludwig as soon as he was at the top of the food chain (thales notwithstanding). as soon as the person in charge changes, they jump ship immediately; then of course get mad that the people they attacked are coming after them... and fighting them as they defend the very people who are letting adrestia become a literal, physical ruin.

it really just tells me that these people don't care about adrestia itself, but status, power and wealth. they don't care about the country itself as long as they're doing well. that's like, the only thing i can get from still fighting with/for ludwig/thales. the fact that they just fight for ludwig again as soon as edelgard is out of commission is also pretty gross to me. they have no loyalty at all.

and it's like, i want to like waldermar and leopold, but they come across as just selfish, entitled and only there for their own asses to be covered. and i get that - that is a realistic take on politicians, but the fact that the game regularly loops back around to faerghus BaD despite that and despite portraying these people as opportunistically selfish is like... what are they even trying to write??

#DCB Three Hopes Run #ah yes. the hours i wait for to post this stuff. #it's like whenever i finally find an adrestian character i like they have them spew some bs like this #or in ferdie's case i loved him and hopes made him another edelgard simp instead of like #the one person around her who contested her views and BLATANTLY OUTRIGHT told her "you're wrong'' #but ofc yes edelgardwash him bc that's too extreme in a fodlan game #and in this case with waldemar it's not EVEN edelgard. it's just ''faerghus evil for trying to retake gm'' #''we attacked gm and won so it's OURS now the ppl who lived there first don't matter anymore'' #''what do you mean it's being held by a threat to all of us? no such thing only you are a threat'' #literally like they either killed off the adrestians offscreen or made them stupid as fuck just to have you #fight named characters. like if leopold KNOWS all of this then why is he STILL fighting and acting like it's for adrestia #when his actions in that moment were actively HARMING adrestia? #but yet somehow it like I said loops back to faerghus bad... but yet the writing in general #does portray faerghus as doing the right thing... and then has other characters insist they're bad #and so much so like they're purposely shoving it in your face TO believe it #it's like saying someone helped save a village from destruction and protected all the children in a safe shelter #but a bunch of characters say those ppl are evil and it keeps pressing and pushing that statement OVER and over #like rly what are you trying to write with this? i love ag but the last few chapters are just like #wow how dare you try to kill ludwig the one true future of adrestia who is being puppeteered by thales. like. okay.

that post abt supergirl actresses gay kissing and thinking of moving back to bumfuck ohio is gonna literally stay with me forever

#looking at the kisses from shelter tv show like ohhhh they're counting to 10 in their heads pressing their lips together #and the first thought i always have is oh they're thinking of moving back to bumfuck ohio

the monthly Seven Seas January Reader Survey is where i vent my unrealistic manga licenses only for them to always announce an isekai, yaoi, or cat manga

#personal #me crying: ikoku nikki... ikokku nikki..? #i also want all saints street tamen de gushi your letter and the no. 6 novel #and now The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All i guess. Handsome girl and sheltered girl for the walmart version fghdsfjds #i'd say the summer hikaru died's LN but that'd probably go to yen press... idk if it'd be the same for no. 6 with the novel :( #i dont think i have obscure wishes tho. idk how some of these other isekai get published

I have a new son! His name’s Cooper. He’s a 4 month old Hound mix someone found wandering around an abandoned house. His favorite activity right now is… sleepin’ and nappin’ 😴

#his second favorite activity is chewing everything in my house #including my tv remote #which is why I can now turn my tv off by pressing mute 😂 #the shelter said he’s very quiet and hates toys #both are lies lmaooo

[caluski]

i keep thinking about that video clip where doctors and nurses from one bombed hospital walk into another, being welcomed by their staff and all. genuinely cannot even imagine what it must be like. kind of lost count of how many hospitals and clinics and ambulances have been targeted by now and to see quotes from doctors on twitter like, "this is the obvious choice for me, this is what i wanted to do and this is what im sticking to"... just crazy

#similar goes to press because of how much theyre targeted now too. like that one clip of the reporter still standing in front of the camera #after one bomb struck nearby and only running back to join others in the shelter after the second explosion sounds #pogaduchy

one of my favorite things in fantasy and sci fi is when the setting of the work is in some ways absolutely better than our current setup which makes you go "god i wish i lived in this world" but as the story progresses you realize that the setting is also shittier than our current world in another, highly specific way that then makes you have to go "well maybe i can deal with this if it means not having to work to survive" or something similar

#sye's babbles #my current project ive been working on is like #in the setting magic can be used to infinitely produce and destroy any physical resource #so there's no food/water/shelter/medical scarcity driving up prices #BUT #since the internet and tv and shit is still a thing #and since the economy is driven by labor instead of scarcity #that means that the social media panopticon and celebrity culture is so much fuckign worse there than it is in our world #people's lives are commodified for social media and fame CONSTANTLY #it is INESCAPABLE #you can instantly generate yourself a whole meal at the press of a button! #you can get absolutely free healthcare! #you can pay very little to get access to shelter! #but gods fucking help you if you want some fucking privacy

thinking abt byler with their dog watching a movie on the couch all snuggled up in some blankets (plural, bc will hogs them & leaves mike to freeze to death [will rejects these slanderous claims, says mike's being a big baby]).. their dog's got its head in mike's lap and his feet against will's ribs in the weirdest most endearing position ever that cannot possibly be comfortable And Yet. mike scratches n rubs the little mongrel's chest n asks him if he's enjoying their boys night. This Is Real n True

#mike didn't exactly Want the dog as much as will did bc he never had any mammal pets growing up #but will was rly determined to keep going to the shelter until they found their match #n this one totally fucking like . imprinted on will or smth mike SWEARS bc he was so so sooooo happy to see will #it's a little joke between them at first tht its will's dog n mike loves how much it loves will bc even though he Knows #theyre safe and okay and everything is Fine and Normal now #he still has tht underlying thread of fear n nervousness in him tht this little ball of fur soothes n unspools #and he says its will's dog but oh man.... tht thing LOVES mike #presses its snout against his calf when he's all stressed n brings him his favorite toy when the vibes are off and cuddles with him etc #the duffers got rid of chester without a word and now im determined to keep his spirit alive #u r real to ME chester u will always be Real n live on in my gay heart ..... #love writing tags on mobile bc i cant see shit re what i jus wrote so i jus have to hope n pray i was coherent . anyway <3

Claire Rousay - Everything Perfect Is Already Here from: Claire Rousay - Everything Perfect Is Already Here (Shelter Press, 2022)

rousay builds a fluid landscape around the acoustic contributions of Alex Cunningham (violin), Mari Maurice (electronics and violin), Marilu Donovan (harp), and Theodore Cale Schafer (piano), whose respective melodies weave gently in and out, sometimes steady, sometimes aching, sometimes receding altogether in deference to less overtly musical sounds. That is, percussive texture in the form of unvarnished samples and field recordings: the rattle and rustle and the stops and starts of life unfurling, voices sharing memories nearly out of reach, doors closing, wind against a microphone. Everything comes from somewhere in particular, possessing the veneer of the diaristic, but sound’s provenance is secondary here and so these details become tangled and fused. On this release I hear such details not as individual ornaments or stories but the collective architecture of the greater composition. It’s an architecture that is not quite formed and thus full of openings out to the world unfolding. (Bandcamp)

For the last season and a half or so, there have been Fallout Shelter signs popping up in the background all over the place. Tonight I finally got a good screenshot of one.

#perry mason #oh the 1960s #apparently the brent building is also a shelter #it's funny because i've been noticing these signs more and more in real life lately too #i just moved to a new city #and i live in a pretty historic part of town #and most of the buildings around our apartment are old shelters #i wouldn't be surprised if ours was once too #they just took down the signs because it's residential now compared to the municipal buildings around us #also this is the first time i've noticed that the press now includes television reporters with mics #time is passing on the show

Might bring banni to the snow day event if it's at the warm lodge. They struggle with crowds and loud noises and flee at the first sign of conflict, so something really chill would be excellent exposure therapy of sorts. Also everyone deserves to see them

#it's gotta be the warmer lodges though because they will have a medical emergency without shelter #likely to just lurk on the edges from inside the lodge and listen in #maybe interact with people's pets #btw they have a stutter. cope #i do mean it though if someone so much as raises their voice at banni it might trigger fight or flight #and they can't think in crowds esp loud ones + bright lights can be a problem #listen. listen. they have severe ptsd and are autistic and bipolar. without medication + robust support system they just aren't prepared- #-for most social functions. thus their prior exclusion #all of that said it's not even guaranteed I'll bring them! but they need more friends and some gentle acclimation #and again. if there is a fight they will probably tuck tail and run so I'll have to swap characters. delicate territory #also i trust you all but nonetheless don't you (general) DARE think i ramp it up or dont know what I'm talking about #have you ever been possessed with the uncontrollable drive to disappear #have you ever noticed tension and had all rational thought shut off and ran and ran until you were huddled somewhere totally lost #have you ever been pressed in by a crowd and suddenly needed to scream and hide #if you answered no to any of these. then you simply will not get it
