Fates is something. I have not touched Birthright or Revelation, but Conquest genuinely has some of the best maps in the entire series, coupled with Fates' really good mechanics. The story and characters are a lot to be desired, but Conquest makes up for it in gameplay easily.
I definitely hear that about conquest, and it's probably the Fates game I'd be most interested to play. Revelation probably isn't a realistic option without emulating anyways, but I still have a 3DS and finding a cartridge of either Fates game isn't that hard of expensive, so I could see picking up one or both eventually. It's just not high on the list of priorities. But if I was going to play one, it'd probably be conquest. I hear you functionally side with the "villains" of the overarching narrative too, so even if the story's kind of bad, there's at least something fun about that. I hear birthright has the slightly better story though, and I do like the japanese aesthetic, so...idk. Maybe someday I'll play through both.
can men stop romanticizing their pain and injuries and actually take care of themselves. for five minutes.
She had shut her mind off to me for some time then. And so I was left to revisit old haunts, desperate for connection. "Claudia, come home. I know I hurt you. I know I can make it right again."

Edited to add: Since a lot of people are reblogging this original post, I'm adding the updated version I did that incorporates the intersex circle...
I know intersex people are still getting excluded in a lot of LGBTQIA+ spaces (let alone wider society) and I think it's crucial to show this group is included in the statement that we all deserve equal rights.
the more i talk w/ leftist friends the more i start to realize that they think culture is only defined by food or "traditional" (i.e. "ethnic") garb and nothing else
mentioned how white americans do in fact have a common culture and they genuinely thought i was joking. culture isnt something only granted to the Cool People of Color. just feels like among progressive groups there's this dichotomy created in which only the virtuous oppressed minorities have culture and anyone who is privileged some sort of void cultureless being
When I visited Chicago, the very first thing to weird me out from the airport was… how almost everywhere had revolving doors.
I’m Australian. Sure, we do have those doors, but the vast majority of places in Sydney are automatic sliding doors or old-fashioned manual push/pulls because we don’t need to block out the cold and wind the same way here.
So every day I experienced a culture clash with something as basic as what doors were normal for me.
Americans who say they don’t have a culture are plagued with defaultism beyond belief. Culture isn’t just made up of costumes and language and the largest stuff, it’s constructed of a billion small things you do every day that you never even consider could be different because that’s just “normal” to your daily life. No one has no culture just because they’re not adhering to the biggest markers they can consciously recognise.
Yes, I have these saved for exactly this reason.
At this point, I truly think that MAGA are just like... anti-fun.
They don't like our rainbows, they don't like cosplay or costumes, they don't like cultural festivals.
Like... fun for them has very strict rules. Like it can't be too outlandish, it has to be about the country or have religion attached to it somehow, there's an itinerary. Like... the Freedom 250 thing has a baptism pool. The fun has to be a specific way or its out of line.
I'm in a picture with my friends, having fun at a parade in our dance costumes (which no one seems to complain about when they're on a stage) and they're like... "freak show," "lunatics," etc... and its like... yes? And?
Its a parade, youre supposed to provide a spectacle or you end up like the Christmas parade we were too queer to be in. (It was a requirement by the organizers to have the float themed around the birth of christ somehow. It was the saddest parade ever and I dont know why i wanted to be in it so bad.)
I bring my colorful flow props to everything. People spit on me, tell me im going to hell, preach at me while im just vibing. Like they see all the fun im having and have a visceral reaction to it. Like... how dare I make my lifestyle look fun and carefree in front of the impressionable youths? (My lifestyle is fun and carefree! I have a life that I love outside of my sexuality, but I also love being out and queer.)
A comment thats going to stick with me for awhile was 'i don't care if they're gay, but why do they have to be weird?'
And like... i am weird, yeah. For sure! But children's media for most of my young years was about embracing weirdness, so i figured it was okay. Plus, performers are often weird.
Im having fun in a way that doesn't fall into the three acceptable categories of fun: faith, country, or family.
And its like... I wonder if there's a correlation between MAGA and certain rules-based symptoms, you know?
Protestantism.
the ruler is hosting festivities in the capital while the nation collapses, and heretics have caused a schism in the catholic church. i love living in the middle ages.
we even have a The Plague
I'm getting pretty close to having played every fire emblem game that's been released in the west. there's a couple that still elude me, most notably being radiant dawn because I don't have access to a wii (or emulator. I'm pretty sure a wii emulator would cause my computer to explode.)
but so far we've played Blazing Blade, Sacred Stones, Path of Radiance, Awakening, Echoes, Three Houses, and now Engage. I'm admittedly not super motivated to grab Fates or Shadow Dragon, but maybe someday.
My top three right now are probably Three Houses, Path of Radiance, and Sacred Stones. And honestly? The 3DS games are the bottom two for me right now. The older GBA games are simple, streamlined, and easy to dive into. And the Switch titles are more complex, but make up for it in diversity of unit/team builds, characters, and story (at least in Three Houses' case.) But the 3DS games? Kind of have the worst of both. Mid stories, only okay characters, and mechanics that bog down the gameplay. Or in Echoes' case, a good story but really terrible maps and a deeply annoying class change system.
I still remember how much I wanted to play Sacred Stones when I was a kid, but I never got it. And while I think I'd have found the game frustrating as a ten-year-old with the permadeath system, little me was onto something. She knew I'd like these games. And she was right- this is quickly becoming a top tier nintendo franchise for me. Like it might be right behind Pokemon and Zelda.
thinking about coptic mummy paintings and weeping
like. i know these people
These were produced from around the time of the Roman annexation of Egypt in the late 1st century BC to around the Christianization of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century CE.
They were a continuation of the Egyptian tradition of funerary masks but rather than sculpting them and making them of precious metals, they began painting these lifelike portraits.
It’s hotly debated whether this is an example of Greco-Roman realist style imposed on their subjects, or a home grown Egyptian development of their own ancient tradition. Those who say it’s more Egyptian than Roman point out that there’s no surviving paintings in the rest of the Roman Empire that were this realistic. Those who say it’s more Roman than Egyptian point out the arid climate left these portraits intact, and beleive the others in the rest of the empire were lost.
Personally I think you can call them Egyptian because these people, whether of Roman or ancient Egyptian descent, are still the ancestors of the modern Egyptians today.
Despite the realism you can see a slight exaggeration of the eyes, smoothing of the skin and inclusion of certain important objects around the subject’s head. It’s a pattern that would get more and more pronounced until it became the style of Byzantine iconography in the Orthodox Christian Church

this might be the first 4th of july in a long time where I haven't even seen silly joke posts about it on my dash. the vibes are really that bad huh.
why is it so hot. why is it so hot. I am being punished.
I'm having my first 24/7 dom/sub relationship with the entirety of the fucking sun
Possibly my spiciest take is that it's actually good to have people you respect and like that have some dogshit takes.
I think part of what is making young people lonelier, in discussing why they're increasingly isolated, is that they're so afraid of meeting someone who doesn't hold their same beliefs, and instead of being just core beliefs it is kinda ancillary shit.
It's actually okay to disagree even on social topics! Even on some political ones! But I mean, online you can start with "i love this mutual but they have a really bad/uninformed opinion about x media"
I know this is IMMEDIATELY going to be taken in bad faith, and yes babygirl, you are so right, I DO want you to go make best friends with both the KKK grand wizard AND your nearest nazi leader.
But seriously, as someone who has spent two decades doing community organization: finding ways to connect with different people is so so so important. There are people i follow here who ate 80% smart and their brain falls out of their head 20% of the time and that is GOOD FOR MY MENTAL ECOSYSTEM AND GOOD FOR LEARNING HOW TO BE A PERSON
LET'S ALL GO PISS ON THE POOR
It’s also good to assume you probably are the friend whose brain falls out 20% of the time.
We all have blind spots, assumptions, and dogshit take from time to time. They can’t all be winners.
i need to get off tumblr i’m at the aquarium admiring the fish and my brain goes “posts that make you want to get in the water” what are you talking about. these are live fish in the room with you. what post.

Does anyone know what to do about the temperature and also the prices
