what they don't tell you about hadestown is that orpheus and eurydice are not the main characters. neither are persephone and hades. or hermes. or the fates. the main character is whoever in the band is playing the trombone because holy fuck

The Left Eye is in the NonBinary Coded Games Showcase!

As July 14th is International Nonbinary People's Day, I'm absolutely chuffed to announce that The Left Eye is part of the Non-Binary Coded Showcase over on Steam (as well as being a meaty 30% off right now!)

As lead writer, I've been out as trans and non-binary (in a country that doesn't legally aknowledge non-binary identities) for thirteen years this summer. A lot of the themes of The Left Eye were shaped and informed specifically by my experiences of trans-masculinity, the tension between going stealth and being seen for who you are, and the struggle to try and live truthfully when you don't legally exist.

...Explored via the metaphor of a bunch of scheming, murderous, Queer con-artist criminals who fall a bit to in love with their own tall tales. Obviously.

So if this sounds like your kind of story (or you'd like to support some cool non-binary art by a trans led, all queer creative team), then grab a copy of The Left Eye now! Or check out the rest of the showcase, for a load of really cool games by a heap of non-binary talent!

(This showcase is how I found out that loads of indie games I love were made by non-binary comrades xxx)

sometimes someone I follow falls victim to severe Character delirium to the point where they stop even saying the character's name and just refer to them by an epithet like some kind of malevolent entity whom they don't wish to accidentally summon, so if the sickness sets in quickly enough and I don't pay close attention for a week I'm just Never going to figure Who this bastard haunting my friend Actually Is. and I'll spend months scrolling my dash occasionally seeing appeals to "that fucking horse" or "my evil grub."

Every time OP dances, her parrot flies along with her. OP says she never trained it on purpose and her parrot just loves doing this naturally. Sometimes it’ll just hop right onto her face. (cr 月下郭城)

No longer allowed to help my dad in the garden because i picked up the shovel and he saw “a gleeful and cruel darkness in my eyes”

functionally suicidal character saying “I would die for you” to their significant other and its like. I get the sentiment, honey, but if a hot dog vendor told me he’d sell hot dogs for me, I wouldn’t feel very moved now would I

[maseratus]

Now a functionally suicidal character saying “I will live for you”. Now that’s a dynamic I can sink my teeth into.

[mousidy]

now how about a functionally suicidal character saying "I will sell hot dogs for you"

Hotdog vender lays down their life to protect their suicidal partner, who then takes over the hotdog stand to carry on their memory...

honestly fandom has ruined me because now any time i'm in the desert and i see two vast and trunkless legs of stone or a half-sunk shattered visage i'm like "omg just like in Ozymandias" and its like come on girl not every half-sunk shattered visage is Ozymandias

It’s too hot to give a fuck that the prime minister resigned…again

This is almost better than finding out new info through the supernatural meme

im not saying we shouldn't be calling out hypocrisy but i do think it's important to be aware of what i call the Two Different Guys Fallacy. and that's that whenever you're thinking to yourself, oh how come X group claim they want this thing but also support that other incompatible thing. take a moment to stop and consider whether it could just be Two Different Guys that think each thing
