Speaking Of Slowly Dying On Camera

30s, Queer (Lesbian), I love D&D. My brother got me hooked on Critical Role. (She/her)

"Tell me you love me and everything will be fine" "I love you. Everything is going to be more than fine"

"How do you do it?" "There's not really a choice."

There is a part of me that thinks there’s a possible fascinating opening for Bolaire as a character to explore the idea of like. How much are you willing to tolerate or endorse someone whose autonomy requires the destruction of another person’s autonomy? Where do we draw the line of competing needs if one individual’s need causes ongoing harm to a series of people? Do you trust anyone to only perpetuate that harm against “bad” people? Who gets to decide what is morally “bad”?

But I’m also still not convinced the narrative is interested in exploring this deeply and not just sitting in “yeah he takes people’s bodies and imprisons their minds but don’t think about it too hard”.

The only way forward is to stop treating masculinity as synonymous with harmful, monstrous, or dangerous.

[apollosfallen]

There is a fundamental difference between "men are dangerous" (wrong, bioessentialist) and "the patriarchy allows dangerous men to exist unchecked" (true).

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

Bolaire Lathalia can be worn by someone voluntarily. Someone can wear him on purpose. He does not have to trick people into wearing him and take their lives and kill them. He can be worn by volunteers.

We know this. This is an established fact. This is how he worked up until he gained agency.

This is the context in which he kills.

In order to discuss whether or not he's a serial killer, you have to start with the fact that he deliberately chooses murder over pursuing other options, which he does have.

He can be worn by someone who chooses to wear him. He 100% knows this.

A lot of people have done a lot of murder apologia for Bolaire about how he has to do this for survival, but he doesn't. Like, flat out, he doesn't have to kill to continue to exist. He could choose to work with people and find compatible partners who are willing.

He doesn't.

Draw Everything June: Day 1

@adorkastock's Draw Everything June is here again! Hooray! I had a wonderful time doing these last year so I'm going to see if I can rise to the challenge again :)

Kicking off with Murray from the current season of Critical Role. I think it's a fun playful pose for her, but seeing her looking so innocent I immediately assume she's up to something.

Hal had such a satisfying mini arc from the day his brother was executed to less than 2 weeks later.

I am... starting to doubt yanessa's immaculate conception story

I think the reason I still enjoy tumblr is that even though this all still pisses me off, I know that anything that makes me mad on here is 100% earnest. It's not ragebait or engagement farming, y'all are actually just that stupid sometimes
