#we are onto something here

[kota-corner]

THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH??? (Speaking about the Autism and PMDD statistic specifically)

#yall i think my therapist is onto something #im fighting for my life out here with my periods #it honestly makes a lot more sense than bipolar 2 for me. i dont even fit the criteria for bipolar 2!!! #idk why the hospital i was at in april diagnosed me with type *1*(aka the more severe type that includes manic episodes) considering the #psychiatrist talked to me for like twenty minutes as a whole for the five to six days i was even there #and i dont have enough bpd traits to be diagnosed so that's not something we are really considering anymore #autism + trauma + pmdd= kota's very weird mood swings? #premenstrual dysphoric disorder #pmdd #cptsd #autism #actually autistic #mental health #tw: mental illness #tw: periods #reblog #💫donnie text post💫 #💫donnie gets real.tag💫

So at the end of S2E3 when Stede is trying to bring Ed back to life, he's saying "come back to me" and all that stuff. But when he says "I'll never leave you again" and "You're safe" that's clearly in a different voice, right? There's nothing frantic about it, meaning it's a voice over? So it's not something Stede was actually saying to Ed but rather something Ed imagined Stede was saying? I'm not crazy here, right? Have people already talked about this and I just missed all the discourse?

#our flag means death #ofmd #our flag means gay #stede bonnet #edward teach #blackbonnet #gentlebeard #ofmd s2 #i find this so interesting #because it's something we absolutely think stede would say out loud #but he doesn't #so ed is really projecting his deepest desires onto mermaid stede #stede's pounding his fists on ed's chest and desperately pleading with him #and ed's just hearing Stede very calmly be like #“i'm here now babe” #“babe” #“everything's okay babe” #“look at my sick mermaid tail babe” #“now give me my underwater smooches babe”

the thing abt the roman empire trend is it was very funny when it was ppl asking their white cishet husbands/fathers/brothers how much they thought abt it bc it was like. a subtle dig abt how a lot of white cishet men are very obsessed w war in history and nothing else and glorify an era that they saw as hypermasculine and White

like it started out good it started out funny

it got annoying when people started going "omg what's the roman empire For Girls? it's (poetry/bridgerton/ex best friend)"

like no I'm sorry the equivalent For Girls™️ (aka cishet white women as a critique) would be true crime. like in the same way cishet white men think obsessively abt war and hypermasculine periods of history, cishet white women obsess over true crime very unethically despite numerous victims and family of victims talking abt how harmful the true crime community is. they are obsessed with the violent death/rape/torture of people without regard to their real lives or their families. THAT is the "girl roman empire" and it has the same tongue in cheek critique as the og

but noooo we just wanna say War Is For Men and Poetry Is For Women bc the white cishet women missed the joke and just wanted to recreate "girls go to college to get more knowledge boys go to jupiter to get more stupider" but in their 30s

like it's not that serious I know but. I'm autistic and I notice these things lmao.

#frankly im mad bc I was enjoying the roman empire thing it made me chuckle I love making fun of when men are being assholes #but. then it just turned into Gender Roles 2 #and I'm like NOOOO WE WERE ONTO SOMETHING HERE #and ofc like the og joke and criticism didn't even preclude women thinking abt the roman empire #it was specifically like the same way we make fun of men only ever caring abt ww2 in a freak sort of way #but the way it went quickly turned into #why would women think abt the roman empire when they're too busy thinking abt romance #like please god. enough.

Transcription: Zayne's ST "Beginning"

i transcribed Zayne's ST story for meta purposes and thought I would put the transcription here for others to have it if they haven't unlocked it yet/to have it more accessible than it is in game

everything with "Foreseer:" is Zayne speaking directly, anything not attributed is the poem. i did it this way to make it easier to read the poem on its own, since that's what i hope to analyze in the future <3

Foreseer: Shift your gaze elsewhere. Foreseer: Your expression shall not even earn an ounce of my pity. Foreseer: Though it seems a night in the throne room was not enough. Foreseer: Perhaps you desire to be frozen with the wall as your paltry confessional? [Ice SFX] Foreseer: Better to yield now than later. [Page turning SFX] Foreseer: Could you still be interested in what I’m currently reading? Foreseer: …Certainly, ’tis a poem related to Astra. Its descriptions suit you. Foreseer: Would you like to hear it? - A great distance beyond, …. north of ice and snow, Atop the Divine Mountain, When Light pierces through howling blizzards, The divine sing of Destiny’s crest My Emissary devout, Will thou be lost in these celestial halls? Will thou have the courage to wait for Mine words? To unveil thy fate predetermined. - Foreseer: You appear to be fascinated. Foreseer: [Laugh?] Hmph, then don’t speak. - With the frozen kingdom awakened, Greedy ants fall into eternal slumber. The divine rest upon their thrones, Yet hidden daggers lie beneath their robes. Brazen trespasser, Arcticyons sing of thy requiem. Dost thou know where thy stands, Upon white, gleaming bones? - Foreseer: I don’t mind repeating this verse. Consider it a prophesy of your future. Foreseer: Are you frightened? Foreseer: If this is all your courage is capable of, you best forget about the Creatio Protocore. [Page turning SFX] - Traces of destiny like shimmering starlight, Bind people who have never met… - Foreseer: I’ll stop here. The last verse is rather strange. Foreseer: Do you truly wish to strike a deal? Foreseer: You ask far too many questions. [Ice SFX] Foreseer: Must your wild curiosity be satiated? - Celestial Savior, Is thou prepared? To save him from darkness? To be his sanctuary amidst rime and gale, To allow the descent… of miracles once again? - [END] here is the poem in its entirety without interjections just to make it easier to read:

A great distance beyond, …. north of ice and snow, Atop the Divine Mountain, When Light pierces through howling blizzards, The divine sing of Destiny’s crest My Emissary devout, Will thou be lost in these celestial halls? Will thou have the courage to wait for Mine words? To unveil thy fate predetermined. With the frozen kingdom awakened, Greedy ants fall into eternal slumber. The divine rest upon their thrones, Yet hidden daggers lie beneath their robes. Brazen trespasser, Arcticyons sing of thy requiem. Dost thou know where thy stands, Upon white, gleaming bones? Traces of destiny like shimmering starlight, Bind people who have never met… Celestial Savior, Is thou prepared? To save him from darkness?

#i'm so obsessed with this scene that i'm kind of pacing the floors of my apartment thinking about it constantly #i think that it is one of those things we will look back on and think #'wow they foreshadowed this entire zayne plot here thats crazy' #i have some crazy theories i fear #but i think ultimately this scene is very cool in that astra is speaking directly to mc via zayne #and... perhaps i am insane! but. i think that zayne's myth is what starts the entire cycle of death and rebirth #also thinking about that john keats poem they used to introduce zayne #before the game's release btw. insane #but i think this idea of cycles and death and rebirth are really central to his character Somehow #there is also something to be said about mc Not dying in zaynes myth #as opposed to the other two #i think zayne breaks the cycle only to start a new one #getting out my red string but i promise im onto something #anyway um #love and deepspace #lads #lads zayne #zayne love and deepspace #li shen #love and deepspace zayne #foreseer zayne

I lied actually I’m not normal at all

#GrrhrhHRHRG #something something #the puppet of the iterator is the first thing we think of #when i design my iterators I do the puppet first #we don’t talk to pebbles until we reach his puppet #and isn’t that something #a tiny itty bitty sliver (heh) of a fraction of the iterator’s wider self and here we are focusing on it #which is the intent! That’s what it’s there for. but it’s so… ough #like it’s so easy to see moon’s puppet and think of that as the extent #when she’s in reality miles and miles of decaying metal under the sea #(I’m normal abt submerged superstructure) #and it’s like … thinking abt “godlike in comparison” #if iterators are gods #then puppets are their avatars #avatar. a god’s way of interacting with the world #avatar. our way of interfacing with technology #avatar. an iterator’s face. #all but the tiniest fraction meant to represent the whole #isn’t that so …. Hjhdhdh #and like … the way that some iterators clearly project onto their puppet #calling themselves trapped in a box #and like yeah that makes sense #you’re a monolith of metal and flesh and wires and electricity #and you were given an avatar. a face. why wouldn’t you invest yourself into the representation of yourself #kind of like how we might project on our gaming avatars or online personas… I digress #without that avatar—without that Focal Point—would an iterator get lost in their own enormity? #would it be so much easier to think of themselves as Just a machine? #and the other way — w off the string stuff #an avatar is only meant to Represent the higher being behind it #an avatar can never truly contain it

Only Friends End Cards and Chronology

I saw this post in the Only Friends tag and it made me wonder: Are the end cards with the characters chronological to the episode they're attached to? Since I'm tracking them as part of my observations into the narrative frameworks of the show, this is something I wanted to explore. So I went to check them out again.

I absolutely think @jenyifer is onto something with this. We put our heads together and looked at the end cards again; if you look at the clothes each character is wearing, the end cards are NOT chronological.

Episode 1: Mew

Mew is wearing the shirt he wears to the pool party at the hostel in episode 3 and that he has on at the beginning of episode 4 when Ray picks him up. We think this might be pre-pool party at the hostel, waiting for Top to pick him up. Maybe contemplating his relationship...

Episode 2 & 4: Ray

It's a bit hard to see, but we're pretty sure Ray is wearing the bowling shirt from episode 4. Our theory is this is post dropping Sand off with his bike and driving home, maybe thinking about him. Also, Ray is the only repeat so far and it's unclear why.

Episode 3: Nick

As @jenyifer pointed out, Nick is wearing the shirt from episode 5. We're like 90% sure this is the hostel. We don't think it's Sand and Nick's apartment. It's not Boston's house as far as we can tell. We're speculating that this occurs around the same time Mew calls Boston about having sex with Top - Boston is still at the hostel with Nick; we think Nick might be in the other room torturing himself with the sex audio. Then they go to Nick's and have cursed birthday party #1.

Episode 5: Sand

This one also seems to be post episode 4, after picking up his bike at the shop. This is the outfit Sand wore in the record store. Thinking about Ray, maybe?

Episode 6: Top

This one is difficult, LOL, because Top is naked and looks like he might be crying. Having said that, looking behind Top at the window, we do get context possibly - it looks like it's raining. We are tentatively placing this end card with episode 3 because that is the only episode where it has rained and Top would be upset about something. Top is in the bath, potentially crying over sleeping with Boston (which, if we're right, OUCH).

What this seems to mean, is at least so far, episodes 1, 2, and 6 have no correlating end card. It will be interesting to see if we get end cards that go back to those episodes. Episode 3 seems to have two (TopMew), and episode 4 has three (Sand and both of Ray's since Ray's are the same one). Episode 5 has just the one so far.

All of y'all pretending like heterosexual women are the only ones who experience misogyny, or experience the most misogyny, are not (just) being homophobic, you're being misogynistic.

You're denying women's sex based oppression is real or it's severity. So maybe sit down and shut up and realize that we are still women despite the fact that we are not sleeping with men. You have the ability to make the choice not to sleep with men too. It's not an inaction unique to homosexuals.

I will spread any feminist praxis I want, and if it's insulting for me to reiterate the ideals we preach in these spaces because I'm a homosexual then you can go ahead and be insulted. SSA women have just as much claim to these spaces as you do because we are women and these spaces are for fighting misogyny, which we all experience. It's not just for tackling the misogyny y'all are uncomfortable with, it's for tackling all of it. Get with the program, ladies.

#you don't have to like the fact that I sleep with women but you cannot act like I am not a woman #just as much right to be here and to preach the ideals radical feminists hold as you heterosexual women #I don't need to couch my language into something more appealing for you because I don't sleep with men #literally a problem you're choosing to perpetrate onto yourself #no one needs sex to survive nor romance it would be nice if you women would stop acting like they do. #the constant reiteration that women just naturally desire and need a romantic partner is misogyny it's propaganda #lily responds #radical feminism #radfems please touch #terfs please interact #radical feminists please touch #radical feminist #radical feminist theory #radfem lesbian #it doesn't become easier to be a good feminist as a lesbian you just aren't putting in the effort #I know this may come to a shock from you because you only hang out with lesbians in these faces but most women do expect we hold up #the gendered expectation for women and beauty standards just like it's expected of you #all socialized by the patriarchy on how women are supposed to look this doesn't change by being homosexual. we just make the effort not to #these ideas through our community cuz we're radfem homosexuals #maybe try to be less ignorant. that may help you be a better feminist overall

why are people so weird about silence

#like 5 times in the past week it has come up #every time someone walks into the room where i’m working they’re like ‘haha you should turn the radio on’ i don’t want to #i’m the only one in here #was helping another guy set up a machine and he was like ‘you can put your headphones in. i’ve got mine that’s why i’m not talking’ like #cool bro. i didn’t even know it would have been an issue if you hadn’t said something. i think that’s just on you #and at dnd another person was talking about how weird and quiet their tattoo artist is bc she doesn’t talk and i was like #god that sounds IDEAL #why do people assume silence is inherently awkward and uncomfortable. why can’t we just sit and enjoy it #or at least. if you feel those things why do you need to project it onto others #this is why i hate that ppl online will talk about ‘neurodivergent swag’ to mean like. ‘never shuts up’ #if someone wants to talk i’m not going to actively stop them but like. your experiences are not universal

Okay, I'll be serious, promise. I've been saying (and seeing other people say) forever that the sheer level of alpha hate has a lot of anti-black undertones. But I've also seen some of it rooted in being anti-sexualization of children, pageantry, etc. I think a lot of people go way too far with that, not realizing what they're implying, while others gladly use it as an excuse to be anti-black. It depends on context, and as a whole I think well-meaning people should be wiser with their words and try to move away from using terms like "yassify" to describe what they're actually trying to refer to. Because that encourages not only the black alpha simmer hate in general, but also pushes that negative actions towards child sims all onto them, whether that was intentional or not. Really think about the terms you use before you use them, and what you're really trying to say before you post something. Because regardless of intention, words have consequences. Not only for yourself, but for the community that we all are a part of.
