As the Black Eagle Strike Force continues to search for a way home, their presence draws a new enemy into the maelstrom of the Frontier Incident—the Bavarian Illuminati!
But the Count of Saint-Germain and her fellow immortals are far from the greatest threat Edelgard von Hresvelg and her comrades face in 21st-century Tokyo—for their meddling has resurrected an ancient threat from the darkest depths of Fodlan's prehistory.

they had no evidence then with the blogs they terminated & they have no evidence now either so ig its always been your blog gets deleted for "any reason or none at all" when they dont like you for being black or transfem
I think "People are always allowed to critique media, even indie media, for things that are lacking, ill thought out, or straight up bigoted" and "You should have reasonable expectations for indie creators capabilities, and really need to manage what you say to actual human beings" are two thought processes that really need to coexist
stealin your tags for a sec here but this is an extremely apt comparison.
because we have people who act like someone making any critique of a piece of media on a tumblr blog is equivalent to harrasment
and then we got the complete opposite of people thinking they can say straight up threats to people directly to their twitter/bluesky accounts
and so we end up in this space of a conversation talking about two different subsets of things that happen, that are not at all equivalent. when, where, and how is so important to keep in mind
As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".
So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:
In medieval culture, an event like a royal christening is not a private party; it’s the public social event of the year. To not invite any person of rank to such an event is a deadly insult.
Maleficent is certainly someone you wouldn’t want at a party, but she’s also someone powerful enough that only a fool would ever dare treat her with such blatant disrespect. The only way the King and Queen could possibly have gotten away with not inviting Maleficent was to not invite any of the fairies at all; inviting the other fairies and excluding her is explicitly taking sides in the conflict between the fairy factions.
Which means they made themselves her sworn enemies, and she responded by treating them as such from then on. If you actually get into analyzing the social dynamics of the scene, it’s very clear that Maleficent was willing to show mercy at first by giving the King and Queen a chance to apologize for their disrespect to her. She doesn’t curse Aurora until after she gives them that chance and they throw it back in her face with further disrespect.
And yeah, if the King and Queen had done the properly respectful thing and invited her, Maleficent would have given Aurora a scary awesome present. Moreover so would the other fairies, because at that point both sides would be using it as an opportunity to show off and one-up each other. What they gave her before Maleficent showed up was basically just trivial party favors by fairy standards.
No more waiting, no more debating, go get your hrt. "I don't know if I'm really trans!" You are. Now go. "I'm scared!" We all were. Now go. "There's a long wait to be seen!" Go get your name on the list then. DIY if you need. "What if my friends don't accept me?" They weren't really your friends. Now go. "What if my spouse doesn't accept me?" Get a divorce. Now go. You do not need to continue to live in agony and depression to pretend to be someone else. Go get your hrt.
and then when they detransition later it will be “no one made you transition. If you were never trans in the first place that’s your own fault. There’s no pressure to transition. It’s not my fault you’re an idiot.” As they move onto the next person they confirm without a doubt is trans and hrt will fix every problem in their lives.
"Detransition" is so extremely rare, and when it happens it's 99% of the time because of lack of money or because bigots are threatening them. "Detransition" as a term is mainly used by anti-LGBT groups and isn't how the vast majority of people who do hrt refer to themselves.
It's been proven time and time and time again, hrt saves lives. Trans people do not just suddenly wake up and take her out of nowhere, we think about and do it. I have been on hrt for 12 years and I will never stop.
Hrt will not "fix every problem" but it will help people gain what they desire. Ant anti LGBT conservative bigots like you are on the wrong side of history. Your lies, your propaganda and your violence will not erase us. You will not scare us from living our lives and being true to ourselves.
People like you are who make places unsafe. You are the problem.
thanks to @pawberri i now have a reference sheet for mousegard, officially making her one of my fursonae! which means technically that every fic i've written in which edelgard von fireemblem gets tf'd into a mouse is retroactively a self-insert fic now 😝
