i realize reactivating this blog is gouache but my twitter doesn’t have a ton of followers and I wanted to get the word out on something

me and my girlfriend have been planning on moving for a couple years now and we think we’re gonna finally be able to do it this year thanks to some fortunate circumstances. however money for both of us is really tight; between my student debt and moving costs in general.

while I’m not asking for sight unseen donations, we both would appreciate it if you checked my patreon for my writing or her sideblog where she discusses exactly how the american government works.

if you DO want to donate to me directly w/o patreon because you are possibly nicest person ever, my paypal is [email protected].

[thegovernmentalist]

I am pleased to announce that you can now support The Governmentalist on Patreon!

Do you ever wish that you had learned more about government in school?

Do you want to get involved in the political process, but don’t know the first thing about politics?

Do you wish there was someone you could ask things like “what is a Superdelegate?” or “how on earth do caucuses work?”

I’m here to help.

The Governmentalist is a weekly column where I answer your questions about government, civics, elections, and the American political process. I make an effort to examine current events not just from the modern perspective, but in their historical context. Here are just a few examples:

“How are Supreme Court Justices nominated?”

“Why are major parties so worried about third-party candidates?”

“If Donald Trump gets elected, is there a way to remove him from office?”

Your support will help me create content that is detailed, comprehensive, and most importantly, fun to read. I have a degree in Political Science from Colorado State University (go Rams!) and while I don’t know everything about government - who could! - I know enough to get started on just about any question you might have, and diligent research and strong written communication skills will get us the rest of the way!

Thank you so much for your consideration! Together, we can defog the political process - one question at a time.

[bunnymagia]

Y’all, I’m completely bowled over by the amount of support that I’ve already received from this community. This project is an important and fun part of my life, and I hope that it’s helping you, too.

If you want to support this project, please consider supporting it on Patreon - but if you can’t, then helping me spread the word would be amazing, too. Thank you all so much!

this is my girlfriend and shes a) quite good and b) we’re trying to save up to live together so it’d be nice if you’re interested in this at all to pledge some money. honk honk

Come See Heroine Problem at Sakura Con 2016!

Sorry about that radio silence, everyone! As promised, I’ve been super busy preparing for Sakura Con, which is coming up in just two days! This weekend, I’ll have not one, not two, but three panels, all about women in anime. They are:

More than Strong Female Characters: Women-Driven Anime will be the first up on Friday at 2:00. Join me and Jared, editor of Heroine Problem, as we discuss what goes into making a great woman-driven show.

If you’re curious about some real-life women behind some excellent (and some terrible) shows, come see my panel about Female Anime Directors on Friday at 9:00 pm. I will be joined by my friend Michelle, who knows way more than I do!

Finally, I will be flying solo on Saturday at 2:15 as I discuss abusive relationships at You Only Hurt the One You Love: Mechanics of Abuse in Shoujo Manga. This was probably the hardest one to put together and definitely the most important of the group.

Come if you can, and make sure you come say hello while you’re at it. If you can’t, I’ll have audio/transcripts posted in not too long.

REMEMBER WHEN I SAID THIS WAS COMING

WELL IT’S HERE

GO READ IT!!!!

[dinheac]

this blog is defunct

I’m opting out of personal engagement on tumblr from here on out. My reason for this is basically that I feel less comfortable and safe on this site than I have literally anywhere else. I feel like I am being pushed and encouraged into politics I don’t agree with, I feel awful for feeling any amount of attraction to men, and I have to constantly deal with reblogs of people who are immensely shitty people all on the fence of not breaking solidarity lines. 

Seriously, I’m tired of seeing Neo-Marxist word salad from a person that doesn’t go outside and treats the people in their home being held as commandments. I’m tired of feeling like I need to be ready to pounce on my trans men friends at any time because they are Male and the Enemy. I’m tired of being accused of being insular because I don’t want to harbor and keep someone who only wished emotional harm on me. Every new day is a new commendation for either being too gay or too straight from each side and it fucking sucks, lol. 

This whole site is awful and I encourage any queer people reading to make friends outside of it because the atmosphere surrounding discourse in here stinks like shit and can be found elsewhere on the internet. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t my big reveal as gamergate person or w/e, I’m just dead tired and angry at feeling guilty for things that are completely and wholly outside my control. 

I’m going to keep up my Final Fantasy blog, and I’m not going to link it here. You can probably find it if you look for it, I guess. If you have me on my new skype feel free to ask for it. 

I’m still hilariously poor and struggling with transition, so if you want to help me out, my paypal is at [email protected]. I promise you all of the money that goes into that account is for bills and food; I know a few people are probably weirded out by me posting a lot of video game shit when I constantly keep on about how poor I am, but my Final Fantasy sub is paid for by a group of really kind friends and it’s one of the few things that keeps me sane.

Thank you for reading, I hope you are well.

Minfilia is not my favorite character but man do I get pretty fed up with the commentary surrounding her. Reddit’s favorite “haha I can’t remember her name so I just call her ‘tits’“ is a big one, followed by the usual “I don’t know how to criticize the writing so I talk about wanting to graphically murder the character because I find her kinda boring” stuff.

[expostninja]

See, Minfilia isn’t my favorite either, but I think she gets way too little respect for her role in the story, which is enormously important.  Far too many players think of her just as That Lady Who Calls You A Bunch, completely ignoring and forgetting that Minfilia is the main reason why nearly everything in the main story comes together and why people have any tools to protect themselves against Ascians and Garlean invasions.

As it stands, she’s basically the one person that the Grand Company leaders listen to and respect universally, the only person who knows how to talk to three different nations and convince them to work together.  We see that Alphinaud really can’t - the name of Louisoix commands some inherited respect, but when push comes to shove he doesn’t know how to deal with the individual nations in a way that could be considered respectful, and as a result he winds up with support only so long as his goals align with those of the leaders.

Not so with Minfilia.  She knows how to ask for help from these people, and more importantly when to ask.  All of her efforts are turned to coping with threats too big and far-reaching for the average Eorzean or even the national leaders to think about.  Ascians are literally the most ancient malevolent force on the planet that anyone knows of, and Minfilia turns all of her contacts and resources into figuring out how to fight and destroy one of them, something that should be impossible.

And she does it.

There’s a reason why everyone in the story treats Minfilia with such reverence - because she’s a leader, one of the only people actually capable of leading without the weight of a nation or an army.  The ending of 2.55′s storyline throws it into stark relief, because she even knows when her safety is a detriment to the safety of others.  She’s as good a leader as anyone could hope to have.  So if you want to make fun of her fashion sense, be aware that you’re making fun of a woman who has long since earned the right to dress however the hell she wants.

(And yeah, her outfit is a whole other issue by rights, but calling her ridiculous because of it involves missing the point so thoroughly that you may as well be in orbit.)
