I love the college of winterhold. everyone there is casually deranged and there's like an alarming number of students and staff who threaten you immediately when they meet you. it's always one of the first questlines I do. which makes it even funnier when you get made the arch-mage of the college. I'm level 12 and got through this questline knowing exactly 3 spells. what do you mean you want me to lead the college. this school CANNOT be an accredited institution
A frustrating development with the growing lack of reading comprehension I've personally noticed is an emerging fervor of insisting things aren't canon unless they are explicitly stated beyond all reasonable doubt.
I can not emphasize enough how harmful a mindset this is to have. Yes, it's wonderful to have characters outright say "I'm trans," but to deny a character's identity for not saying that is dangerous.
Plenty of real people prefer not to use specific labels. Historically, people didn't have our modern terms or modes of expression. Many modern cultures don't use these terms, either, and plenty of people within those that do can't safely openly identify.
If the only representation you accept as canon is within modern (and let's be honest, wealthy white able-bodied American) standards, then you are denying yourself and others a huge amount of representation and seriously limiting the media around you.
Looking at Etho with my big ol' eyes. Why do you have a pattern of becoming quickly attached to people who bully you. Yes they're doing it lovingly teasingly jokingly but how is the easiest way to get your attention to be a bit mean to you? Over here leaving mail and statues at Joel's like a cat bringing mice to his doorstep. Stealing from Gem and being in her general vicinity after she roasted you during a boating trip and constantly calls you washed up. The first time you see Cleo in last life you're like heyyy so I bet on you to die first, can you do that for me? and when she rightfully calls you out for being rude you just ask "don't you like that sort of thing?". Not to mention all of limited life followed by secret life. What's up with that. Hey get back here
Pls someone talk to me about the quiet codependence Rust and Marty have, the too-easy domesticity they can fall into. Their constant arguing and moral disagreement and that blends so easily into sharing clothes and a bottle and a home. The open hostility that silently becomes worry when no one else is watching. The implicit, unyielding trust that's never questioned and always counted on, between two people born and living in a world that's punished trust from the beginning.
cant scribble it out bc its too Involved but here's a Laughingstock thought that just feels Right:
im imagining them sitting down and going through a list of pet names to use for each other. like Howdy has a clipboard, Barnaby's sitting across the counter, they're going through the list and striking out the ones that don't work. playfully teasing each other about certain suggestions, losing it over a Bit where they try to call each other the names in the most sickeningly sweet lovey-dovey voices and see who cracks first, mutually making fun of some options, getting flustered when they find one they like. yeah <3
i think its kinda funny how everyone just. plays along w obito's fake identity shticks like .. lol. even KABUTO, who Knows he's not madara and told him that TO HIS FACE still keeps calling him madara ... the zetsus refer to him as "good boy tobi" LOL even when theyre alone at the start of it all .. like when obito gets introduced to the viewer. him and the zetsus deliberate abt whether he can join the akatsuki now after sasori is gone and they just. Call Him That. lol. they call him tobi at some points later as well btw even when sasuke is there who is Supposed to believe that he's madara and i think sasuke does so as well some time later. sasuke just doesnt care asfsfdgfgds but kabuto? i wonder if maybe he's curious ... but maybe he's just like, well, that guy is not gonna tell me who he is anyway. so. better just go along with it like it almost seems like a FAVOR he does him but maybe he also just doesnt want to force the issue. so obito doesnt rip his damn head off
A trans person asking you to respect their pronouns is not the same thing as a cis person not wanting to be called cis.
Like. You are cis if you identify with the gender you were born as.
It's not a slur, it's not just some derogatory word or something, it's an ADJECTIVE to better communicate what someone means.
It's like. Tall and short. You can have short women and you can have tall women.
Theyre both still women! But one is tall and one is short!!!
So saying "I don't know why we can't respect someone when they say they don't want to be called cis" IS SO STUPID.
Cis women who don't wanna be called cis don't want to be called that because they think that only they, cis women, are real women. They'd call a trans woman a trans woman, sure! But then they'd call themselves the "real" women! Like oh my god.
Cis isn't a slur and it's not a bad word. The only people I've seen using the "don't call us cis, we're just women" were transphobes.

Willowpelt sounds SO autistic, it not being funny wraps around into being funny again.
My secret is being so autistic and so surrounded by so many other autistic people that I forget what tismless people even do. Everyone in BB ends up getting a touch of ADHDautism. As a treat.
But yeah when I was jotting it down I realized it too. Like wow, I really hit this one with the autism beam. Me and you, Willy, we will both have adamantine opinions. I cannot condone your hatred of apples but you do have a good point about oak trees.
