Bad at tumblr

Esther| they/she|26| Free Palestine Haven't really used this website since like 2018. Made this blog to share my What Happens Next fan content because it's a very tumblry comic.

You gotta make this random trans woman who wrote a thinkpiece your two minutes hate today. No, see, she worded something in an ill-considered way. No, it's actually transfeminist this time because the ill-considered way she worded things comes off as transmisogynistic. Sure she said sorry, but she didn't say sorry in a way that acknowledges the magnitude of the evil she wrought on this world, so you gotta keep sharing screenshots of her harmful statements and saying you don't forgive her for making you read them.

Don't want to put a rando in the tags of someone else's post on blast but this is just homophobia, right? Like, taking every regressive stereotype your bigoted uncle had about gay men in 2005 and sticking "cis" in front of it doesn't make it progressive...

I went and watched the circus cartoon and this came to me

[eatwifing]

After a couple months of procrastinating and getting caught up in other projects, I finally got around to uploading a version of this one with audio descriptions.

[prokopetz]

Since the Kickstarter campaign launched I've bumped into at least a couple of "now funding" roundup posts that have classified Eat God as an OSR game, and I'm not gonna lie, I'd be fascinated to know the reasoning there.

[rampagingpoet]

I was about to joke "It can run B2: Keep on the Borderlands" but actually combining Eat God with The Keep on the Borderlands Is Full of Lies sounds like a perfectly cromulent playset.

[prokopetz]

@nyanifesto replied:

If it's not a) 5e compatibe, b) a "Tactics" game, or c) a "Narrative" game, it's probably closer to OSR than anything else

Releasing what is very obviously a Vampire: The Masquerade clone and labelling it an OSR game.

[epicscizor]

Aren't those Narrative games?

[prokopetz]

Textual bloviating about "storytelling" versus "roleplaying" notwithstanding, Vampire: The Masquerade would typically not be considered a "narrative" game by modern standards, no. Entirely too many things on your character sheet, for a start!

[eatwifing]

I mean, it doesn't help that the guy who coined the term "narrativist" for TTRPGS said VtM and other White Wolf games had "incoherent" design and likened being introduced to the hobby through those games to being the victim of childhood sexual abuse and/or traumatic brain injury.

The thing about "you can massacre everyone on the spot in Skyrim but never get the dialogue option to lick people in the face, despite licking faces being a thing most people strictly speaking can do in a conversation" is not just that the option isn't offered, by the way

It's also that if you did offer that option, Skyrim would be "the weird game where you can lick everyone's faces for no reason". Unlike mass murdering friendly NPCs, which is normalized, the option to lick people's faces registers as a strange thing to include.

[eatwifing]

This is why I don't like the fandom tendency to treat the Soul as identical to the player in Deltarune. The options you CAN choose (and the options you can't) in a video game inevitably provide characterization for the player character. That character's motivations can then be examined like any character in any work of fiction, even though you the audience of that fiction had a role in the outcome.

To bring it back to what the post is about, the Player Character in a combat focused game like Skyrim is someone who addresses the world primarily or at least to a large extent through violence. If the devs told a story about someone who wasn't like that, then they couldn't show off the cool violence simulator they worked so hard on! If you make some NPCs unviolenceable, then your story is about someone with a particular ethical framework they won't violate . If you don't do that, it's about someone who has the potential to be violent towards anyone, who has the thought cross their mind but may decide against it on a whim or out of self-interest. Either way, the player character is a character with character traits and there is no such thing as a blank-slate protagonist.

Team Hussain is another grassroot initiative that I didn't see being shared much around Tumblr. Like other grassroot orgs in Gaza, they're also helping multiple displaced families at the same time.

Urgent Appeal: Support Displaced Families in Gaza

Every day, thousands of displaced families in Gaza face unimaginable hardships. Amid the rubble and ruin, hope survives through your compass

Their X account is here: Hussein_Team

Your contribution is greatly appreciated

This one was pretty short so adding audio descriptions wasn't too bad. Chapter 2 should be similarly easy when I get to it, and 5 is already done. 3 and 4 will likely take more work

[eatwifing]

Made a version of my fandub of What Happens Next Chapter 5 with more consistent audio descriptions for accessibility. I know it's kind of weird to start with the most recent but it was freshest in my mind and thus the easiest to go through and add them. Hopefully I'll get the rest eventually

EDIT: Forgot to insert the video somehow

[eatwifing]

Finally got around to doing the dub for What Happens Next chapter 5

floored upon reread that we only learn about vikki's backstory in you'll all be sorry, e.g. in the last third of the total page count, considering how central her brutalization at the hands of three classmates is to the narrative. we as readers have no particular reason to believe that hunter faced any consequences, legal or otherwise, for having almost beaten his classmate to death. by context clues and his continued presence in the town where they both grew up and where he works, we can assume that he remained in the same high school; from the fact that she sees him in the funeral home a few years later, we can assume that he did not face prison charges and was not ostracized by his family. vikki, on the other hand, was placed into alternative school and subsequently fired.

hunter acts as milo's counterpart on many levels; no responsibility-taking is required of him at all; vikki summarizes it quickly as "he's either sorry or he's not, and i'm pretty sure he's not". his actions are neither criminalised like griffin nor psychiatrized like milo, an unlikable offputting trans person. milo's crime - mutilating an already-dead body under threat of physical harm - is bad enough for his entire life to be upturned and for him to be expected to vanish from public life (physically in the ward, then online); hunter's crime is mundane enough to go undercover until much later, with vikki not being allowed to bring it up earlier or even react to his presence at her own workplace. hunter's (interesting name!) violence is unremarkable, a fact of life, worthy at best of a slap on the wrist. it is in the order of things

[eatwifing]

Chara from undertale is an interesting case where the fandom's tendency to casually spoil every cool reveal is canceled out by its tendency to over-interpret obscure easter eggs while ignoring the text of the game so when you get to that part of the game even if you've been exposed to a lot of the plot through osmosis you still get a neat surprise.

Hello 👋,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Aziz, and I’m reaching out with a heartfelt plea to help my family find safety and reunite with our mother. 😞

The ongoing war in Gaza has torn my family apart. My mother and newborn sister are stranded in Egypt, while I, along with the rest of my sex family members, am trapped in the midst of the genocide in Gaza. We have not only been separated but have also lost our home and are enduring unimaginable hardships. 💔

Your support can make a difference. Whether by reading our story, donating, or sharing our campaign with others, you can help us reunite, find safety, and start anew. 🙏🕊

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for your kindness, compassion, and solidarity during this difficult time. ❤🍉

Hope things turn around soon!

i won’t lie, im not a fan of the increasing suggestion by people that israel is the one controlling the US. you could perhaps suggest that Netanyahu doesn’t care about what the US says but to say that israel is the one controlling us politicians as if most aren’t rabid anti-arab genocidal enthusiasts is just wild. it’s also just anti-Semitic and ignorant of the geopolitical reality at hand

[eatwifing]

The relationship between the US and Israel is kind of like this tweet

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹
