#shouting into the void at this point

[razumdars]

Imagine if Cazador was introduced mid Act 1, and throughout the rest of the game repeatedly toyed with and tormented Astarion. Imagine if he consistently used his powers to control, manipulate, and torture Astarion throughout the game while dangling the prospect of his freedom above him like a carrot. Imagine if you weren't even able to kill Cazador and he just randomly hung out in your camp right next to Astarion for the entirety of Act 3. Imagine if the game devs just made repeated jokes about how hot and fuckable Cazador was and insisted that Astarion MUST secretly want to fuck his abuser. That would suck, right? It would be pretty scummy actually, wouldn't it?

Why is it ok when it's done with Wyll's abuser then? Why is the white man's abuser treated with an appropriate amount of weight, but the black man's abuser is reduced to the "sexy demon lady" that Wyll should be "grateful" is treating him like a dog? Can you imagine if people said that about Astarion and Cazador? There would be riots if someone even jokingly suggested Astarion should be grateful for being dominated by Cazador.

Please offer the black character the same modicum of decency you're offering the white characters.

Dear Boston, I still love you even if this fucking show doesn’t. You didn’t deserve what you got in this finale.

#i will get some coherent thoughts down at some point #but the way boston was made to grovel only to be rejected and alone in the end #while everyone else was easily forgiven for their mistakes #is gross and will never ever sit right with me #oh i am mad #only friends the series #only friends boston #thai bl #shan shouts into the void

This voting period really just feels like im watching a bunch of people force a gay man back in the closet

I know thats not people's intentions but literally how else is he going to take this guilty vote. "I just don't want him to think his lying was okay" he doesn't! And he's not going to think that! He's actively trying to stop lying! All guiltying him will do is tell him he should have kept lying and continuing his relationship!!

"I just want him to have some kind of consequence for what he's done" Was Hinako literally dying not enough??? Sure, he didn't love her, but he still LIKED her. They were friends, they lived together, he married her because he WANTED to love her! He is literally drowning in guilt because of her death, I think he's had enough consequences by now. He might not be wearing his ring anymore, but he still carries it with him, he is very clearly still grieving her death.

"Innocent votes have no effect on him" Yes they will!! It didn't do anything last time because we forgave him for the wrong reasons and because he absolutely hates himself. Assuming we're right about him being gay, which I'm pretty confident we are, having his 'true' self validated rather than his fake one will 100% have a bigger effect on him this time. Guiltying him will only make his self-hate worse and show him that only his false self is forgivable, so he should keep lying to be accepted.

I know most people's intentions are not to make him keep lying, but regardless of whatever intention you have, it doesn't matter how you want him to take it, you can not ignore how he will actually take it.

#milgram #kazui mukuhara #this was just meant to be a mini-rant but it turned semi serious so im maintagging :< #ik im just shouting into the void at this point but watching his vote go down is stressing me out;; #as always feel free to tell me im wrong ♡ i would love to talk to someone who wants to guilty him #ive seen a few ppl mention the album art as a reason to guilty him as well #i dont have too much to say on that but milgram also pushed us to forgive kotoko and look how that went #just because they're potentially trying to push us to guilty him doesn't mean thats the 'correct' option

i do not know where i saw the take that acofaf character choices were 2/3 poignant parallels for queer experience and 1/3 hot mess bird drama as a treat -- but i didn’t need confirmation from chirp that she was in love with a woman (not forgetting squak and theodore in EP TWO) to know that the lords of the wing have had equally queer stories from the start. they are trying to please a disapproving patriarch. they are searching for marital matches that will not benefit them individually. they are notorious for being messy, promiscuous and shit-stirring. they are to jumping through hoops to stay true to themselves behind closed doors. they are hiding big secrets. up to now they were even keeping things from each other. and they are balancing all that with tireless maneuvering that results in a mature, hospitable reputation. idk that sounds outrageously -- and loudly -- queer to me.

anyway there are layers and layers upon closets in the vastness of the queer experience. not all those stories are about coming out.

sometimes they’re about arriving fashionably late on an ostrich-chariot pulled by doves.

#and you thought a show about fairies was only fractionally gay #these stories aren't even parallels they're actual gay fey #a court of fey and flowers #acofaf spoilers #acofaf #dimension 20 #dimension 20 spoilers #idk i'm just shouting into the void #we can't expect everyone to be out of the closet in the same way that we can't expect everyone to be in the closet #for a bunch of queers we sure do love to pigeonhole ourselves #omg a bird reference #there's no correct way to be queer #that's the whole point #maybe this won't make sense later but that's fine and also gay of me

i sort of understand why a lot of the ratgrinders are doing it. kipperlilly is a regular freak and she hates it, oisin inhereted some sort of evil from his grandma, ivy just Came Like That. the ones i'm a little shaky on are ruben and mary ann. ruben i feel like he mightve been peer pressured into it. he was just coming into bardness and wanted to be cool (bc all bards are cool, duh). and mary ann... who can really say? maybe under all that stone cold indifference she's just a follower. her rage is inauthentic. maybe she's so full of emotion she can't express any of them.

Feeling spicy but the post is going around again so Im going to say this on main. Installing an extension to autogenerate fic comments is so stupid. Just leaving kudos is fine if you don't have anything to say. Why would I want to read a comment you put absolutely no thought into. At least type "cool fic I liked it" with your own hands or something.

Like not like anyone would know, necessarily, but the idea of it is so dumb to me. I genuinely don't understand the culture around AO3 comments being seen as a social expection of reading a fic and not like... something you do when you actually have something to say and want to interact with the author about it.

#Salem shouts into the void #Youre just making up social rules when you really dont have to #Also why do kudos mean nothing to you the whole point is someone saying they liked your fic w a button

one thing about byan is that they love to playfight, they looooove to wrestle. roughhousing is by far one of their favourite ways to have fun with friends, and it's honestly a fairly affectionate act of theirs? the only downside is that someone usually ends up hurt at some point bc byan gets carried away and doesn't always have the best grasp of their own strength :/

#they will also be v put out if they 'lose' bc they're forever too competitive for their own good 😔 #unless they're LETTING you win anyway. but u'll always know bc they'll make a point of informing u that this has happened smh #shouting about my little freak into the void to distract myself don't mind me #tho... this is also a hc I've had for a loooong time & never really posted about so #about time I tossed it out there ig lmao #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ headcanon ⋮ danger in the fabric of this thing i made.

[disregardandfelicity]

it bothers me sooo much that this is how they lay down to sleep. what kind of poses are these! why not get under the blankets! this looks so deeply uncomfortable. i know they're vampires but do vampires not want to get snuggly and warm! not even with each other just in the giant bed they're stiffly posed on top of!!!

#iwtv #interview with the vampire #ive already complained at length about this to tini #moving on to shouting it into the void #also i lightened the shot but it is fully dark they are going to sleep at this point not chatting

Fandom really really really needs to get with the program that trans mascs exist as like both a concept in the first place and the as like real people who actually exist

How the fuck. Do people. Think. Trans men don't count as mpreg?!? It's the one scenario that is actually not only possible in real life but happens regularly!

And. If. Your first??? Explanation for why a guy could have a vagina is that it's omegaverse? Or magic? Or that in an au of Mulan where a girl dresses up as a guy... but the canon character is a guy... you jump to omegaverse rather than Trans guy. That is literally the easiest explanation here.

Like. Please. I.m begging you. Realize trans mascs exist.

Also while I'm at it. Where are the trans people in omegaverse stories????? Like this is supposedly a genre for deconstructing gender and playing with it but it really just seems like a way to dive headfirst into biologic essentialism and completely ignore that trans people exist? (Because trans tags and omegaverse tags seem to have like no overlap.) (Although the intersex tag sees plenty of use with omegaverse but I'm guessing that is a fetishistic hot mess given the other rampant problems I've noticed and general awareness that intersex topics aren't handled well by society in general)

Like. Idk. I just. The fact trans men and mascs are just like apparently lower on the thoughts that occur to writers for why a "girl" would be dressed as a guy, why a guy could be pregnant or have a vagina than magic or gender essentialism: the au. Is just.
