What Duane think of WAP?

Misses his.

#now i know. what is meant #but uh happy pride duane adelier-#unsounded #duane adelier

you have to understand the ridiculously unlikely chance that is "character who is absurdly your type physically and personality wise has a [????] relative who looks like him and is also absurdly your other type".

#i love two things in this world #murder perverts #and quiet grounded dudes actively deluding themselves morally #both also look like every guy ive ever crushed on in my life #i feel hunted #murkoph #tree murkoph

Every panel we get of Mikaila being so aggressively Duane Adelier's daughter I get ready to backflip off a building /pos

Would you consider Lemon to be Miki's gender-tulpa?

@murkoph is the expert here.

Without time to extensively review the panels, and with the understanding that this is subject to change based on what we learn in Red Cost: yes, but he's quickly nearing the limit on that position as she ages out of being a little girl. His capture by Crescians additionally functions as what we in the business call a castration for Miki, having her tool of social agency and power unceremoniously hacked off.

Still very much working up the nerve to OC post here. For now a vibes sample platter off of his pinterest board.

#he sucks he sucks so bad and has a million siblings #all of whom have names in a lengthy google doc #apologes for the gaiman quote by the by but unfortunately coraline hits at a very specific transgenderism #anyways #a disgustingly not murkoph post #the self indulgence devil sits on my shoulder

If you want my ten cents as the guy who talks about transmasculinity in Unsounded. Its tough with Mikaila obviously because most of the scenes we have from her are when she's little. Kids at that age don't often have very nuanced opinions on gender identity because like so much else in their life its dictated to them by their parents. Its like how a lot of people are religious when they're kids, or root for a certain sports team, not because they spent a lot of time studying their options but because they picked it up from Mom and Dad. That doesn't mean its de facto inauthentic, you can grow up and still root for the Yankees, but when you're little these things are generally handed to you to believe.

She's perched very precariously when we see her as a teenager. The Golden Delight is afforded unusual privileges, but she's NEVER allowed to forget that she's a girl (Lemuel is basically the only one who allows her to finish full sentences, and the threat of sexual violence is never very far from her)

This seems to have contributed to her building some mental walls between her and other women, separating herself mentally from the gendered violence they suffer from her comrades in arms (though, we'll see how that goes with Leysa and her soud friends. Crescian women are their own category to an Aldish girl)

Despite this separation. I've always gotten the sense that Mikaila wants to be allowed to succeed AS herself. Despite her originating "not normal girl" I don't really think there's any authentic shame in who she is or what she wants to do. The barriers between who she wants to be and who she currently is are all external. Contrast her with Sette's self loathing, Sette who has to lie constantly to distance herself from what she fears she is: "girlish", weak, and full of blackberry pie. Mikaila knows she's clever, knows she loves pymary and has a talent for it, its just getting the rest of the world to acknowledge those things aren't exclusive with being a girl. Even if Lem set her up as a Third Option as an absolute last resort (which I don't think he would! It would make her more visible in a way that's dangerous. As he says, he'd rather her be home in skirts than in active danger) I don't think she'd last very long. The performance of masculinity that's expected from those Third Options would be just one more unnatural thing Alderode is demanding of her.

Its early days yet. It might evolve depending on what we see of her in Red Cost. But like I talked about in gender tulpa, there's a difference between girls trying skirting patriarchal constructs in order to achieve a larger goal and "girls" who need an escape from womanhood altogether

In further island antics I decided to stage a Frummagem takeover

I wasn't sold on Ana's and then she opened with this

Yes Ana I think I have heard that about you

Just one big happy family : ) warms the heart

I've had this essay poking at the back of my head about Unsounded's inheritance themes and the utility of child protagonists but I'm wondering if I don't need to start with something on the First Silver's associations with stunted maturity as a reflection Sette's own inability to age.

Obviously there's the first layer metaphor here, that pain and suffering can freeze the victim and the perpetrator in place forever. But I'm also thinking about my speculation about Sette/Khette's "purpose" being a forced maturation into a breeding body for Lady I. On the other side is Starfish, fetishizing her as the forever girl, and Prakhuta, embodying all her terrors that the bad days are bad forever and she'll be their hostage.

Its all unformed mess in my brain right now but. You know. Fork found in kitchen, psychosexual critic found in the titty mention.

#unsounded #a disgustingly not murkoph post #two things of note here though #one is anadyne ripping off her own tits #rendering herself a clean slate for the silver to write over #the other: im really curious if jac is aging #obviously its hard to judge fantasy lion age but every version of him we've seen looks like a young male to me
