Fishing in the Forest
Very important.
i had a very illuminating conversation with a guy about 10 years younger than me that really put this change into perspective, which is this:
i have a very distinct memory, in my childhood, of the moment of my disillusionment. i believed that grown-ups knew what they were doing, and that the things that seemed so obvious to me had to be obvious to them, too (things like DON’T GO TO WAR IN IRAQ, for example). i believed that, and had that belief pulled out from under me, so my disillusionment comes with a sense of betrayal.
a mere 10 years younger than me, this guy has no such moment or memory. he never believed grown-ups were fundamentally competent, or good, or reasonable. he never lived in a world where things didn’t feel constantly careening wildly out of control. there’s no betrayal in his sense that the government has failed him - of course it has, it was always going to. he doesn’t remember a time pre-bush, or pre-9/11, or pre-iraq war. this is just what the world has always looked like for him. so it’s not really a sense of “disillusionment,” actually - his generation never had any illusions to lose. they’ve just been in this world so long it’s all they’ve ever known.

this… is an incredible cosplay. like this looks like a costume design for what the live action could have been.
“admit it! you think i’m funny!” Geralt does think he is hilarious
That design document predated the decision to exclude gay relationships in the game. Its pages described a web of social interactions, in which every kind of romantic relationship was permitted. That week, Barrett confounded the expectations of his disbelieving boss. He successfully wrote the basic code for social interactions, including same-sex relationships.
“In hindsight, I probably should have questioned the design,” Barrett, who is gay, said. “But the design felt right, so I just implemented it. Later, Will Wright stopped by my desk,” Barrett said. “He told me that liked the social interactions, and that he was glad to see that same-sex support was back in the game.” Nobody on the team questioned Barrett’s work. “They just pretty much ignored it,” he said. “After a while, everyone was just used to the design being there. It was widely expected that E.A. would just kill it, anyway.”
In early 1999, before E.A. had a chance to kill the design, Barrett was asked to create a demo of the game to be shown at E3. The demo would consist of three scenes from the game. These were to be so-called on-rails scenes—not a true, live simulation but one that was preplanned, and which would shake out the same way each time it was played, in order to show the game in its best light.
One of the scenes was a wedding between two Sims characters. “I had run out of time before E3, and there were so many Sims attending the wedding that I didn’t have time to put them all on rails,” Barrett said.
On the first day of the show, the game’s producers, Kana Ryan and Chris Trottier, watched in disbelief as two of the female Sims attending the virtual wedding leaned in and began to passionately kiss. They had, during the live simulation, fallen in love.
TIL i learned that the team behind The Sims had originally decided to leave same-sex relationships out of the game until a newbie on the team by the name of Patrick J. Barrett III coded all basic interactions of the game due to one of his senior team members being on vacation, TIL Barrett unknowingly had been given an old design document and everyone just assumed someone else had reversed their previous decision and rolled with it, and TIL that all that plus a rushed demo led to the team’s presentation at that year’s E3 featuring an unplanned lesbian kiss
Mortal Kombat has the best characters because literally none of them feel like they belong in the same genre. The main trio is a monk, an army girl and an actor. There’s ninjas and gods and sorcerers and cyborgs and a guy with knives in his hands and a blind samurai and an immortal cowboy and a naked bug lady and an Aztec war god. The keeper of time is some bald chick voiced by Jennifer Hale. There’s a character who’s literally just a cop like not even a cop who has incredible martial arts skills or anything just a completely average cop who just got pulled into this. His power is Gun and he once defeated a big four armed fire breathing tiger monster using only the power of Gun.
Mortal Kombat really captures the feeling of a bunch of kids making their toys fight

This is illegally sweet.
Also the form of estrogen they prescribed trans women in the 90s, Premarin, looked like this.
And lest there be any remaining doubt.. remember the blue pill? The pill Neo could have taken to forget the truth, bury his troubles and go back to living a normal life, without fearing a system that wanted to destroy him? The pill that was easy, perhaps cowardly according to some, but comfortable? Here’s Prozac.
For a trans woman in the 90s, where the choice was be safe, suppress, cope, and pretend everything is still how it was, or embrace the danger, accept the truth, realize your full potential, and transition into a world that still thinks you’re a joke and would rather have you dead…. well. The metaphor is pretty fucking clear.
Y’all
Lana came out as a woman after Speed Racer in 2008, and Lily eight years later after the release of Jupiter Ascending (2016), so if you see original home copies of the Matrix (pre-2008), they are referred to as the Wachowski Brothers on it. It was a branding thing, like the Coen Brothers. That’s how they were called, because they were still presenting as male to the industry and the industry sold them as a creative unit.
I remember after Lana came out, the boxes switched to calling them just The Wachowskis, so I imagine now it’s the Wachowski Sisters.
So, yes, they’ve always been sisters, but if you didn’t know that, it’s not your fault. It’s been a long process and I’m glad they did it on their terms in their time.
Before Lily came out but after Lana did they were often credited as The Wachowskis siblings. So some places may still refer to them as such.
I was actually unaware that Lily was also trans so thank you for that info!
the mermaid and the lighthouse keeper its on redbubble too!! it looks real cute on a tote bag or a throw pillow check it out!
