I feel like for as much as Assassin’s Creed supposedly caters to a male audience, the devs really have the heterosexual female gaze down to a T. I mean, come on:

We’ve got the softest man in the American Revolution Ratonhake:ton Connor Kenway

Pretty boy extraordinaire Arno Dorian

Bisexual jackass with a heart of gold Jacob Frye

Jayadeep “Your Daughter Calls Me Daddy Too” Mir

The absolute gall of this man Bayek of Siwa

And of course loveable idiot bisexual Alexios

Bonus: James Kidd, who for our purposes I am counting because hot damn if I didn’t fall head over heels in love

Like IMAGINE thinking this series is supposed to be for cishet gamer dudes. The men in these games drink so much respect women juice and honestly hell yeah Ubisoft, keep making shitty games as long as your characters stay this pretty.

“I think about dying, but I don’t want to die. Not even close. In fact, my problem is the complete opposite. I want to live, I want to escape. I feel trapped and bored and claustrophobic. There’s so much to see and so much to do but I somehow still find myself doing nothing at all. I’m still here, in this metaphorical bubble of existence and I can’t quite figure out what the hell I’m doing or how to get out of it.”

— Matty Healy

one has no right to call oneself a Duke without the proper lands and titles.,. thou petty province of Bourbon is little more than a collection of stables and farmes.. hardly but a barony! Nay! Thou are but a countess.. learn thy lesson, wench.

Man grows a few extra legs and a shell overnight – worries about being late to work the next morning

an important thing about the metamorphosis is that gregor is still fully conscious, mentally very human, and capable of speech at the beginning of the story. it is only after he is treated exclusively as an insect, as something to hide, as a tragedy that destroyed gregor samsa rather than being the same, living, person, and accepts all of this, that he loses the last vestiges of his personhood.

could he have continued to live if he was allowed the privilege of being seen as human despite his superficial appearance and utility to capital? should he have been treated with respect despite his permament disfigurement and inability to work? the answer is yes. but rarely are the real people who undergo such a debilitating change, the human beings who are locked away and starved and dehumanized by the family and society who are supposed to care for them, shown such decency. franz kafka certainly was not.

I comissioned the amazing @wormchildart for this picture, and look at what an amazing job he did! He put so much passion into this very obscure portrait for me. 20/10 would recommend.

Protect weird girls. Ya know…. the ones that used to make up intricate games on the playground about ghosts and saving the world. The ones that used to have a whole BOX of fucking rolly pollies and worms. Those girls that used to have mason jars FULL of fucking god knows WHAT on their mother’s back porch. Protect… girls. Girls that daydream too much. Girls that could go out to Walmart dressed in cow girl boots, and a faux fur coat. Girls that invent whole other worlds in their heads. Girls that love too much. Girls that don’t love quite enough. Girls that don’t look, or sound the way society expects them to. Loud girls. Quiet girls. Angry girls. Sad girls. Support girls being themselves, and being unapologetic about it. The ones that get labeled “weird” for simply existing and being brave enough to not dim themselves down, just because society tells them, too. The girls that never lost their magic once they grew up. Support weird girls.

And yes, this does include trans girls.

Today, on my birthday and the anniversary of the legalization of same-sex marriage in the US, I just want to remind people that Pride is not about buying from corporations that have monetized our symbols and slogans. Pride is about recognizing the millions of queer individuals whose identities have been censored for an intolerant society, who have been imprisoned, who have been tortured, and who have been killed. Pride is about finally celebrating these men, women, and non-binary folks for who and what they are, and for mourning their loss. Pride is about realizing that LGBTQ children and adults still suffer today, and for being grateful that suffering has lessened in certain parts of the world, but that the fight is not over. Don't give your money to a corporation that adopts a rainbow for a month. They didn't fight for us.
