It's very interesting the gendered double-edged sword of being believed about pain. People assumed to be cis men are supposed to tough out pain, repress it, tamp it down. You're not allowed to react to pain because it's a weakness. You're not that hurt, and even if you are, you cannot show it. But then people assumed to be cis women are supposedly weaker, so if you react to pain it's a sign that you're reacting to a lower threshold of pain. You're not that hurt, you're just a woman.

And it's wild because men and women both, cis and trans alike, are so convinced that they are the only ones not believed about pain, not allowed to express certain emotions.

When disability is a connected factor, then there is even greater disbelief, backlash, lack of patience. When mental health is a factor, there is an even greater assumption of low tolerance or delusion. When race is a connected factor, then suddenly Black people are meant to have a higher pain tolerance, so they are allowed to suffer more. Self-medication is expected in some areas, and forbidden in others. Access through financial means is a barrier to care.

There's so many layers to the concept of "I'm not allowed to react to my suffering" that are all true, but every time there is someone making gendered arguments of "UNLIKE MY OPPOSITE" I have to call bullshit. Cis men and women do it to each other, they do it to trans people, trans people do it to each other, and to cis people.

Everyone's pain is being ignored, no one's needs are being met, because we are participating in a hierarchical system that tries to imply inherent superiority, and if anything dampens your assumed superiority then you're weak, and if you can do anything to challenge your assumed weakness then you're a threat.

well that’s it. doomsday is coming. i’ve been slacking on my checklist, need to get back to it lol

btw remember that home generates individual pokemon trackers SERVER SIDE which will make it extremely difficult if not impossible for anyone to develop a method to do bank -> home transfers after this shutdown. you will NOT be able to just emulate a transfer with hacking tools after this. miracles can happen but absolutely assume that this is a permanent change and get any transfers you need done BEFORE the deadline. you should NOT rely on believing that there will be some way to do this after the deadline

My fav thing about The Damned is how they look like members of 4 completely unrelated bands who accidentally walked in on the same photoshoot

[vinceaddams]

Yup.

Ice beam is low-key a sauceless "standard" move for its type

[catboybiologist]

Earthquake? That is THE ground move. The ground quakes beneath you.

Surf? A giant wave of water that your pokemon can ride. A thunderous tide. Invokes the ocean.

Thunderbolt? Arcing flashes of electricity zap you.

Flamethrower? Fire breath, fire throwing, an arc of propelled flame is classic.

Ice beam? It's a beam. Of ice. Could've been a gust of frigid wind, or a frost incursion, or being entombed in a glacial slab, but noooooo it's a beam. Of ice.

[kittycatwhore]

miscellaneous zelame archives: slayers wonderful edition

archiving here since I couldn't find collected screenshots anywhere else. Slayers Wonderful, the series's final videogame, has more zelame than NEXT. not only do we get Zel turbo-yearning (my favorite), we also have exchanges like this:

...and more...

...plus the FMVs we all knew and loved long before they were ever translated, like the rescue and the resulting dinner date with goblin meat:

and of course the most legendary zelame of all:

not to mention he's the one carrying her back to the inn in the scene referenced at the top of this post

who do we have to thank? there are just two story credits: the more junior role, scenario arranger Mizuho Yoshioka; and the overall story supervisor, some guy named Hajime Kanzaka. seriously though Kanzaka may have been pitched various scenes and dialogue that he oversaw, edited, and fine-tuned to make sure they were in line with his vision, or he may have done much of the work himself like he did with Aqualord, which was also intended for a videogame

kanzaka has said he's bad at romance and he clearly never intended it in the novels. but given how much zelame he supervised and approved throughout other continuities, one wonders if he always made someone else do it or whether he wrote some and had guidelines of his own. for all we know he was like "first off, she likes that man in women's clothing, so write that down"

Here's an idea about why kids are so anxious and depressed all the time...the environments kids are in most of the time are very stressful and don't fulfill their needs for play, rest, proper variety of foods, positive social opportunities, and freedom from fear pain punishment etc

[headspace-hotel]

Like everyone with any basic understanding of animal welfare knows that if you put an animal in an enclosure that is too crowded, without hiding spots, with no freedom to move around, no ability to avoid harsh and stressful stimuli, and scare it by shouting at it and punishing it, the animal will become stressed and start chewing its own fur off or hurting itself or become sick or unable to eat...

But we expect human children to grow up in these conditions and literally blame them when they develop the exact type of problems that any creature under those conditions would

what i’ve learned in my life is if someone is treating you poorly and youre asking yourself “what magic words can I use to make this person treat me with basic respect,” those words don’t exist and they never will.

There is no drug on earth that can replicate the absolute euphoria of hitting a writing flow state at 2:00 AM. You aren’t even typing anymore. You are a vessel. You are a channel for the gods. The characters are speaking directly into your brain and you’re just the stenographer trying to keep up. You feel like you could fight a bear. You feel like you invented the alphabet
