Hey gang no meme with this one but hot question for the Limbus gang- Why am I still seeing people he/him-ing Dante

Where did you people come from? Has the plot not been clear enough for you?

no but like deadass

I've legit reached a point seeing some NEW posts (I won't name names) where I'm like "Oh ok cool theor- Ah- they used "He" for Dante- oh ok this person's opinions are now 100% invalid, moving on"

legit why are we still doing this- Even NPCs meeting them for the first time use they/them for them-

AND IF EVEN THEIR ENEMIES DON'T MISGENDER THEM, YOU GUYS SHOULDN'T EITHER

Also if you pull the "Oh, well they cant remember their gender but may have had one before their memory loss so I'm using he/him because of what they used to be" card?

1- You don't know that they started as a guy- they could have even been a woman- who knows- we only hear ticking- Also you know what, even Faust, WHO CLAIMS TO KNOW WHO THEY WERE BEFORE, at least to a degree, ALSO uses they/them for them, so checkmate

2- A character/person doesn't NEED to have a reason/memory loss to be nonbinary- They could very well have been NB even BEFORE the memory loss- Its not like its uncommon in canon- I could be remembering wrong but I think like. most of the Wonderlab gang was only referred to by they/them- most of them looked pretty fem- still they/them though. (At least the translation I read)

3- I'm beating you to death with hammers

#Legit its not that hard #Literally its in every dialogue thing regarding them #The game has NEVER used he/him #sorry for going on a warpath but like. the game has been out long enough for you guys to grow a brain #Just use the correct pronouns for Dante and I don't have to beat you with hammers #Its that simple #limbus company #lcb #dante lcb #People already seem to like my Limbus posts so this is a decent enough reason to use my platform for it ig

okay so a large part of my issue with halsin is that his character feels inconsistent, right. like larian wanted him to be a wise older man mentor character but then they wanted him to be fuckable, and they wanted him to be a nontraditional/nonmonogamous romance, so they made him sexually experienced and confident and casual, but he's also a romance option, so he talks about having Feelings for the player character. and then he needed to be a quest-giver, so he needed to ask for help. and what we ended up with is "guy who up and abandoned his responsibilities at the first chance of adventure, got captured and needed rescuing, makes all sorts of comments about his sexual experience but loses all self control and wildshapes at the first glimpse of ass, tells you he has feelings for you to get you in bed then leaves at the end of the game, and makes inappropriately sexual comments abt the sexual abuse victim if you're romancing him" - all of which reads as an uncomfortable, unlikeable mess of a guy.

halsin suffers from a lack of focus - he's neither a full romance on the level of the origin companions, nor is he a fling or sub-romance; he got more care and attention than wyll, in some ways, but the writing is flaky and weak and makes him look, frankly, like an incompetent, immature manchild. the bear scene is grossly pubescent (it should've been player choice to initiate that, not have it dropped on you that if he gets too horny there's a risk he'll CAST A SPELL and turn into a literal animal. by mistake. and if that's his reaction to seeing tits what's gonna happen when he cums) and the way he pushes for astarion to join you if you tell him you're in a relationship feels wildly inappropriate.

I know halsin has a history of sexual abuse himself (and I've seen good analyses/critiques of the way that's handled) but again I find it weird that finding out about that is locked behind not just a sex scene but a threesome+ scene - the writers really wanted to drive home that This Guy Fucks to the point where he comes across as pushy, and his trauma is reduced to background noise in a scene where he is essentially a sex object. he is simultaneously objectified by the writers, and in-universe by himself and those around him, but instead of exploring that we're just supposed to go with it; likewise, his lack of commitment and emotional immaturity aren't problems in and of themselves, but it feels like the writers aren't aware that that's the character they've written, and so these things are never appropriately addressed, and his arc and romance don't match up with the other characters' stories about growth and development.

not rly sure where I'm going with this, but it bothers me!! I think it's a nasty mix of the writers' intentions at a cross purpose with the push for fanservice, and the whole thing leaves a sour taste in my mouth t b h.

#ig I wish they'd diverted more of those resources to wyll and left halsin as a simple fling option or smth #I have many meaner things I could say about him but this post isn't about that #it kinda makes me sad. scarred up beefy older elf man should've been my guy but instead I kind of can't stand him:/ #this post was much longer with fix its but I cut them out bc I got bored lol #bg3 #and like. I wish they'd treated him Better he makes me uncomfortable and I find it difficult to empathise with him but. yeah he should've #got more development and better treatment

So who’s gonna write the fic where new Marshal IG-11 keeps seeing a mandalorian and his son out and about in town and knows he’s never met them before but can’t help but feel like maybe he has. Sometimes he catches the mandalorian staring at him (lots of people stare at IG, it’s not every day you see an assassin droid turned lawman) but he never approaches and always turns tail and disappears if IG comes near him. He’s never done anything outright against the law, so IG has no real business with him, aside from the illogical nagging feeling that he’s forgotten something important and the mandalorian is involved somehow.

The mandalorian’s son always looks sad when he sees him. IG has no idea what species the child is or what his name might be but he finds he knows the sound of his laughter. The feel of a long soft green ear in IG’s hand. The choked sound of a seriously injured man, resisting medical care to preserve his honor. The same choked sound, overlaid with sorrow, as the man tries to rationalize away what they all know has to happen. A sense of calm as the self-destruct timer enters the single digits.

His memory circuit is freshly wiped, but there are ghosts in the machine that persist.

#my friend just made me realize IG will retain his rebuilt personality but not his memories #a new memory circuit means he won’t remember Din and Grogu #(something in him still does) #sometimes bonds transcend simple things like memory and death #IG doesn’t remember his death but he thinks the mandalorian might #the mandalorian #the mandalorian spoilers #IG-11 #mine #I’m very sleepy and emotional bye

When I contemplate the physical spaces that articulate the letters 'I love you' in a written text, I may be led to think about other spaces, for example the space that lies between 'you' in the text and you in my life.

I have a problem.

Further evidence:

#me: I avoid drawing racesuits bcs they're too complicated and I don't really know how to draw them. #Also me: constantly draws one of the most overcomplicated designs ever #and i also am constantly in the depths of researching 18th century clothing #atp maybe i just have zero interest in race suits #(tbf it's honestly less the level of detail. but more all the sponsor names and lack of freedom in drawing them) #(yknow one solid design that you cant really deviate from. i dont have a lot of interest in drawing that type of thing) #(but i will do it for chibis! much more simple) #also there was chibis ive drawn as well but they dont fit #ive mostly draw peak era vettonso cause duh #but ig id really like to draw matador versions of all their eras i think that would be a lot of fun #its fun to put these in a gif together #see how ive evolved at both drawing matadors but also painting #but god i still think i really like that renault one the best...... #its just tough to beat. and its crazy cause i went into that w just. zero experience #and ive leveled up since then but it has this energy i enjoy so much and i just rly love how i drew his face ah... #but do tell me if you so wish which one you like best?? #catie.rambling.txt #matador au #catie.art.

Help I'm thinking about how good it would have been if they didn't reunite Din and Grogu in a random episode of a spinoff, disrupting the outcome of two seasons of development, and instead started s3 with Din without Grogu. And then, still ended it with Din officially adopting Grogu.

It would have been so impactful!! From absence to reunion to family.

Imagine when Din bathes in the waters at the start of the season. He thinks that will fix everything. Only he still doesn't feel right. Something is still missing.

(It's Grogu.)

#instead we got din wanting ig-11 back #which !? was not necessary even if the ig-12 thing was funny in ch 23 #the concept of the show is so simple they can do better #the mandalorian #flythepost

[birdricks]

late night insane post i rlly think birdrick appeals to me partly bc of the alien nature of their relationship… and specifically in how bp kind of bridges the gap between them but in many other ways theyre completely different

#smth smth queer…. smth smth gender… idk #often thinking abt simple anatomical differences in alien relationships #and like haha the obvious stuff. but moreso even simple stuff like. ears. feathers. organs. #this is also just me persoanlly finding it fun to wonder abt bps anatomy like … how much is bird vs human #(my personal hc is he is Mosttlyyy bird. the human appearance is just superficial and like. a coincidence ig) #LIKEEEE. how they r each fascinated by each other for the most simple things. like despite their bodies both being considered unconventional #the separation from the others culture allows them to see past it and just see each other as. wonderful #WHATEVER MAN. my brain is in a crazy weird place rn #being able to be within urself and ur body completely free from ur usual societal expectations… WHATEVER!!!! #ummmmm Anyway! if rick gave bp a piercing where do u reckon it wld be #oh oops dropped a hc. in my mind bp is considered very plain and bland looking by bird culture. which also makes it more sweet for rick to b #be so enthralled by him #ok goodnighytttttt. going to um. idk. keep trying to stay sane

Yes I agree that you should just let people enjoy things but people Not enjoying your thing isn’t actually stopping you from enjoying it. Like I totally get it, I also don’t enjoy people dunking on my favorite things. So I don’t look at reviews for my favorite things that are just calling them bad unless they’re making like serious criticisms of certain kinds of content (as in like, if somebody is pointing out how smth is offensive to a demographic of people, I want to know. But if they’re just saying the plot sucks because xyz writing stuff then I’m probably out). I’m still allowed to enjoy that thing even if somebody thinks it sucks. There’s a chance I even agree with them on some parts and I’m still enjoying it. And sometimes letting people enjoy things is letting people enjoy long negative reviews of the thing you personally enjoy. You’re allowed to think fourth wing is the greatest book ever written, I don’t care if it’s your most beloved book of all time, that’s your right. But I’m allowed to sit down and listen to six different people who read it tell me why it and the author sucks so bad because that’s what I enjoy.

#inspired by how many book reviewers I listen to #who constantly get told ‘just let people enjoy things’ #when they’re just giving their honest opinion of a book they read #like great news! you can still enjoy it! they are not personally ripping the book from your hands and setting it ablaze! #just don’t watch the video. it’s that simple #I know I’ve mentioned that book like multiple times on this blog #it’s because I still cannot believe how big it got #but hey people can read whatever they want #it’s not my time being wasted ig
