sometimes i remember gillion, despite being considered the party’s tank, in actuality has barely any more health than jay does and the reason he’s considered the “tank” is less bc he has more health than the rest and more bc he shoves himself in the way between everyone else and his friends to protect them and i

[fizzyorange-v2]

now I could be remembering this wrong. So forgive me if I am but.

every now and then I remember there was literally a brief period of time where jay actually had More health than Gil did. ​and when it was made apparent in a rolled bizly and condi could barely believe it (and holy fuck neither could I) bc they swore down that gillion took so much damage, surely more than that HP would allow, that in both their (and presumably their characters minds) Gillion was a tank, a health shield, extremely strong/difficult to down. Because that’s how he was so consistently and confidently behaving (and definitely how charlie was playing him).

And Charlie Slimecicle (that motherfucker) just chuckled like, nah. i only act like i still have lots of health to spare. majority of the time gillion’s kicking about under 10 HP in battle. the point is to take as many hits for you guys as possible. and hopefully make the enemy believe I’m the biggest threat/the strongest so they’ll leave chip and jay alone. He also went on to point out that (especially compared to the other two) gillion does go down a lot in combat through out the campaign. it’s just never usually much of a big deal bc jay has her healing too (and once back up gillion is adept at functioning very efficiently in battle at extremely low health—)

They genuinely couldn’t believe he had so little health. Neither could I.

I know from more recent rolled’s that his HP has definitely gone way up since and is now significantly more than Jay’s (so he can be an even better meat shield I’m sure) but I don’t think I’ll ever emotionally recover from the fact that. that gillion was just SO gung-ho and self sacrificingly reckless that he had everyone CONVINCED that he had a huge health bar when truthfully he spent most of the time always on extremely low HP and just never ever let it show, always acted like he could take another blow, another twenty, without any apparent fear at all. even when he was truthfully always one bad roll from going down. and none of the other characters ever even thought about telling him to stop shoving himself in front of them every single battle, never told him to stop taking every hit he could for them, nor admonish him for always getting the big bad to target him— because just from the way he acted alone, they’d assumed he was so much stronger than he actually was. He acted like he could take it, so they all believed he could.

And I imagine that’s exactly how Gillion wanted it.

It absolutely takes years of training to master fighting confidently even when on the brink of collapse, swinging your sword with precision even through unbelievable amounts of pain. So confidently and so convincingly not even your closest allies — your friends, your family — can tell you’re hurt. And I imagine it also takes years of a very different yet very similar type of training to come to believe that all you are is what you’re worth, and that all you’re worth is what you can give. And that it’s his duty to give and sacrifice and give and bleed and give and give and give until everything he has in him is gone and even then to keep giving more that you don’t have but somehow give anyway.

It would take years of training to make someone believe it was their duty to give until their body gave out.

But if there’s nothing else we know about Gillion goddamn Tidestrider, we can be sure of one fucking thing;

He’s had a lifetime of training already.

I often see posts about curating your own online experience that make the point, “content creators aren’t your parents.” And, yes, that is absolutely true! And I try not to be like “as a parent,“ but as a parent…

EVEN PARENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO ENCOURAGE RESPONSIBLE READING/VIEWING BEHAVIOR. NOT filter everything ahead of time for their kid.

When my kiddo was 5, his pediatrician was asking him the usual Well Child Visit questions (“What are your favorite foods? What do you do to get your body moving? Do you know what to do if you get lost in a public place?” Etc.) and she asked, “What do you do if you see something on TV that scares or upsets you?”

I piped up like, “Oh, he doesn’t watch TV without one of us in the room,” which was true at the time and is still largely true now. She said, “Yes, but that won’t always be the case, so make sure you’re talking to him about what to do if he sees something that upsets him.”

So we started talking to him about that, and the answer is simple: “Turn it off or leave the room, and talk to someone you trust about what you saw and what you’re feeling.”

The answer is NOT “Ask your parents to make sure you never see anything upsetting again,” because that’s just not possible — and ultimately that would be doing the kid a disservice, since sooner or later he’s going to be out in the world where we can’t control what he watches or reads. That doesn’t mean we don’t try to make sure he’s watching/reading age-appropriate stuff, it just means that’s not the only safeguard he has — and that’s a good thing.

So yes, content creators aren’t your parents and aren’t responsible for making sure you never see anything you don’t like — but also, your own parents should have taught you what to do when that happens. So if they didn’t, take it from me, your internet mom:

Turn it off.

Walk away.

Talk to someone you trust about how you’re feeling.

And leave the person who created the thing that upset you alone.

The Trump Administration is Testing Conversion Therapy By Medically Experimenting on Trans People in Prisons

The Bureau of Prisons is subjecting trans people to conversion therapy and denying them care with the goal of helping them "recover." It's t

Please read and share this, it affects everyone within our community, and if anyone has any further sources to add, including ways we can push back, please do.

Here is a link to the Federal Document signed this past February 19th.

5260.01 Management of Inmates with Gender Dysphoria

This policy, signed by Bureau of Prisons Director Billy Marshall, outlines how federal prisons will treat gender dysphoria from now on. It u

This is just conversion therapy, just straight up conversion therapy. This is human experimentation trying to "cure" being transgender that the US Government is enacting on captives in federal prisons who do not have the rights to protect themselves and cannot fight back against it. It is utterly inhumane.

Not to mention that black Americans end up disproportionately incarcerated in US prisons and this will certainly be an extension of a long history of the US government committing human experimentation on black lives and bodies.

Alongside this, I need everyone to be very aware that if even a portion of these cases are marked as 'resolved', if the US Gov can manufacture some kind of statistic that these methods "work," it could very well become a mandated policy for treating gender dysphoria across the US. Not just in prisons, but any kind of government custody and potentially in psychiatric inpatient care, and potential extensions beyond that into the life of the general public.

Although what may be most effective would be to make it so that many trans people end up either within government or psychiatric custody, where their rights are directly denied from them in a situation they are defenseless against- just like this. And this will effect firstly those most vulnerable in our population, those impoverished, unhoused, severely mentally ill/disabled, immigrants, and the many black trans americans and other trans people of color who fall into these categories, especially.

But beyond this being a testing ground for broader society, the situation this will/is enacting on trans inmates matters right now and needs to be heard and spoken out against.

Sometimes a guy in a fanfiction has the ability to read someone's gaze with the same level of detail a wine taster can taste the wine

[reptile-ruler]

"He glared at him with anger in his eyes, but behind that longing and sorrow over things left unsaid, a subtle but desperate yearning for things to be different, and with just a hint of roasted nuts right at the end."

we've all heard about the male gaze in media, but we've yet to explore the equally important sommelier gaze
