jokes jokes this is all jokes. and an aBS reference. and implied ender x achilles. and doesnt happen in the actual basic school plot

[clinical-nerd]

valentine's (enders game) actor is also gwen stacy's (into/across the spiderverse) voice actor and i think that's pretty neat

[clinical-nerd]

[endersgame]

[achillesperceiver]

locke x peter???????? Involve me straight away.

[clinical-nerd]

fem4butch enemies to lovers valentine x demosthenes was also a major hit

[clinical-nerd]

peter: ok i think im ready to tell you

theresa: i know you're homosexual

peter: dad's cheating on you. he has two gay dating apps on his phone

theresa: oh. eh. guess you got it from somewhere

[clinical-nerd]

i know bonzo hated petra, but it was honestly kinda funny to see him put up a rule to not walk into the soldier barracks when petra was changing. yeah, respect that woman and her privacy in a male dominated space!! what a polite young man. even put her bed up in front with the toon leaders because she was just that good of a soldier

[clinical-nerd]

yeah tumblr i do really think i would just LOVE that post this shad guy made just yesterday

not sure when or why i followed this man, though. he does seem to be in a cycle of just refreshing the page twenty times within a single minute just to see one new post. but hey maybe i just have to be open minded

[achillesperceiver]

pick your poison

[achillesperceiver]

I wish i drew things that mattered

EVERYONE in the speaker saga is QUEER and/or TRANS. speaker wiggin is a TRANSFEM HE/HIM LESBIAN. novinha is OMNISEXUAL with fem preference. olhado is TRANSMASC DEMIBOY . miro is "20 bucks is 20 bucks" BICURIOUS. grego is URANIC GENDERQUEER.

[clinical-nerd]

suriyawong is a trans man. sorry at least one of the enderverse guys have to fall under the transmasc umbrella. and its suri. i dont make the rules. dont shoot the messenger

i've expressed before how i disliked virlomi's character arc in shadow of the giant before (i think), but i've never really expanded on it. so

SOTG spoilers ahead. obviously

none of this is organized very well i just needed to get my thoughts out

i did really like her character in SOTH. it was nice seeing a brown character who's story didn't revolve around their religion (👀), but their culture was still relevant to the story at least somewhat. i wouldn't be able to tell how i feel about her character in EiE bc i havent finished the book

hey did you see the (👀) yeah did you see that did you did you like

i strongly disliked how she was pushed down into "delusional religious brown woman desperate for a husband who needs a man to come put her in her place" just to push forward the plot. there were so many different ways to go about her role in the story that would fit much better with the plot. hindus and muslims have had numerous different conflicts in history regarding territory and religion, why not use those to connect virlomi and alai? doesn't seem like osc was adverse to historical references given the amount of times hitler, napolean, and alexander the great were mentioned throughout the series.

i dont see why virlomi would need a husband to gain more control, especially when it's not shown that any of the male characters (besides suriyawong) have even considered the idea. it just seems weird and continues the trend of female leads getting into relationships that make no sense to their character otherwise (cough, petra) the scene with her and peter in the cabin added nothing to the story and just felt really awkward.

her ending up with alai for unity could have been half decent, but it really fell flat, especially with the lack of expansion on how divided the hindu and muslim people are in the setting. it could've been better even if just virlomi and alai's feelings about the relationship were more shown.

im glad she got with suriyawong in the end of it, i think he's a pretty good man and i prefer him over any of the other contenders virlomi could've ended up with. that being said, i think having him just somehow "fix" virlomi after only a few months to a year (? forgot how long it was srry) is just really odd and the pacing is off. would've liked to see more of their journey together as virlomi healed, but alas, they're gone forever.

ok that's all thx

trying to find a bonzo fic where he's not shipped with ender AND relevant knowing i've read all 3

[achillesperceiver]

[clinical-nerd]

au where ender isnt ender and he's called andy or tommy or something and he doesnt make the cut off for battle school but he ends up as a burnt out honors kid who grows up relatively normal compared to canon ender. or as normal as you can turn out to be in the wiggin household or whatever
