chloe... is feeling just fine today

hi im chloe!! (lowercase c important) | she/it/fae, transfem raven ΘΔ | white | 16+ please, this blog doesn't have porn but I'm an adult that blogs about adult things sometimes | I have thoughts about things, this is where those go! | posting about anything I'm thinking far too much about at any given time. lately that's been deltarune and I Hate You, Please Suffer

[chloebangbang]

I'm back, everything's unprivated, and I'm probably staying here for the time being.

That being said! I definitely want to keep backups places so its not a mad struggle to try to get all my friends when this inevitably happens again! so!

Places you can find me:

Discord: mutuals can dm!

Bluesky. I think I hate this website more than anything but its the most stable.

Pillowfort: This website seems nicer for actual blogging but nobody's actually on there. My preferred backup though

and if you're seeing me for the first time (since I guess this is gonna be my pinned): hi! I'm chloe!! (the lowercase c is important!!) I'm a little raven that is using the computer. I write about things. those things are often indie rpgs, but just as often whatever the hell I'm doing at any given time. I like to say a lot of words. saying a lot of words is my favorite thing. listen to me say a lot of words maybe?

[chloebangbang]

now that we're mutuals who are you

im a little bird named chloe with a lowercase c that lives in the computer. sometimes im a catgirl named Autumn but usually im a little bird named chloe that lives in the computer. i write big words about indie rpgs. i play fighting games and melee occasionally. i 100%ed hyrule warriors definitive edition across half a decade for unclear reasons. I've been desperately searching steam, itch, and reddit for "punch-out, but good and not racist" for a couple years. um thats about it i think

little bird word of the day is: disparate

[the-quasar-hero]

Very generally speaking, when you see a black man in a piece of media, be it tv show, movie, video game, etc. there’s something you often see a lot of writers do. To go against the stereotype of black men (and black people in general) being dumb and lazy, you’ll see this black male character being smart and an achiever. 

The Black Nerd. A common character type, the nerd will always be very interested in all things nerdy: science, video games, mathematics, etc. In an continued effort to combat stereotypes, the Black Nerd will be lack athleticism, probably being asthmatic (the nerdiest of conditions). The Black Nerd will dress smartly, suspenders and bow ties. They’ll always talk smart too, using proper English with complex words.

Now, I don’t have a problem with a black character being a nerd, indeed black people are a people; we aren’t all the same and we all have varying personalities. The problem I have is that too often we see a distinct disconnect between Blackness and the Black Nerd. The Black Nerd doesn’t listen to hip hop or rap, only classical music. The Black Nerd only has white friends, the only other black characters are into not nerdy stuff. The Black Nerd never ever uses AAVE at any time in any context.

And again I must say that Black people, not being a monolith, there are no hard fast rules to being Black. I’m more than sure there are Black people like what I’ve described above, I’m not saying it’s impossible; what I’m getting at is that the only Black Nerd we see. There are Black Nerds that play basketball, that bump Kendrick Lamar, and use AAVE since it’s an ever changing dialect. I’m just saying there’s no one way of being a nerd and no one way of being Black.

Well @dumbey, seems we’re in similar boats

[the-quasar-hero]

This ain’t about him, this is about Black/Asian solidarity. Focus.

Being critical of your interests is sooooo fun when you have the critic gene & then you sound kind of insane to the average tv watcher when you're like "this is my favorite show, It's Racist" & then you try to clarify what you mean & get that [Speech (legendary) - FAILURE] "the racism is really interesting though"

[tlirsgender]

[Speech (legendary) - SUCCESS] I find the sociopolitical context of pulpy old sci-fi born circa the civil rights movement really fascinating to analyze especially when it was progressive for its time but still reveals the writers' unexamined biases in the subtext

[sqbr]

Them: So you're saying its bad and I shouldn't watch it?

Me: I mean depends on your tolerance for this type of racism, but like I said it's my favourite show, it def has some great parts if you're up for it.

Them: Oh so it's not racist.

Me: It absolutely is.

Them: So you're saying racism is ok??

Me: No.

the thing is threatening to institutionalize suicidal people doesn't actually scare them out of being suicidal it just means they don't tell anyone when they are getting close

Ummm she's literally sensitive :/

[lady-of-vitreous-sight]

as i see it, it's actually very simple. a lot of coming of age stories with "boy" main characters want to show their main character "struggling to achieve manhood" as part of their arc. however, part of the construction of masculinity is that it is innate and totally natural, to struggle with masculinity in any visible fashion is to have failed already. thus, such main characters, when viewed externally, are easily transmisogynized.

BONUS + alternate version below

All the flower details are doodles from my lecture notes. I have so many pages of them and I think they look really nice, so I scanned them and used them as a background!

Here's an alternate version too bc I can't decide what I liked better

liking midwest emo will allow you to hone the skill of being able to enjoy a song while knowing that the singer is objectively in the wrong in the described situation which later becomes necessary to enjoy about 80% of musical canon after you realize that monogamy is stupid and evil
