Alright kids say it with me

My thoughts don’t make me a bad person

My feelings don’t make me a bad person

My thoughts, feelings, and impulses only exist inside my head, and none of it matters unless I act on it

Nobody can see my thoughts or emotions

The only things anyone can see and judge me on are my actions

There’s no such thing as a thought crime

thank u

possession horror where the thing possessing the autistic character causes them to behave in a more neurotypical way. autistic possession horror where the thing inside you is easier to communicate with than you are, the thing inside you doesn’t have a flat affect, the thing inside you doesn’t let your body stim, the thing inside you is how you were told to behave and you can only do it when you are no longer you. autistic possession horror where you will never forget that everyone liked it better than you before they found out something was controlling you. autistic possession horror where they know what’s inside you isn’t you and debate whether it would be easier for everyone to leave you like this anyway. you agree. reblog.

Something I noticed about Mega Man X Dive. The White Day costumes are some sort of tradition in Japan where recipients of Valentine's Day gifts are expected to return them to the giver.

Axl has a White Day costume. X doesn't.

Granted, X doesn't get any special costumes outside of collabs, but let that sink in. Axl is considered more romantically desirable than X.

This actually says a lot about how developers feel about X as a character. They literally tried to replace him with Axl in the past with X7, which would allow him to "pair better" with Zero. Interviews regarding Command Mission's development suggested that the developers found X boring and assumed that the players would get tired of him, so they decided to alter X's personality and design to make him more appealing.... by taking away the element of his personality that made him stand out from the world around him, entirely missing the point of his character. In short, Japanese developers see X as disdainful at best, and mentally weak at worst. It intersects with toxic masculinity and patriarchal frameworks that says a man who is empathetic and mindful of his actions is weak and undesirable. Unlike characters like Zero and Axl who are action ready, and eager for battle. A mindset that Americans would easily go along with as they share some similar ideologies of masculinity as Japan does.

People are quick to say that Dive is good to X because he gets the most costumes, but those costumes are primarily functional, nothing that expresses a semblance of personality. It's a subtle form of dehumanization, even for a character that technically isn't human, and it sends a subtle message that X isn't deserving of love, either platonically or romantic.

Even Vile gets a Halloween costume, and he's one of the most irrelevant characters in all of Mega Man.

Personally, I don't think Collaborative costumes would count as they're essentially different characters rather than alt skins
