"Who would want to kill the thing that makes maps like this?"

Baru would. Because she would never share this world with Tain Hu. She would never point from a ship's mast and say, See that mountain? I've named it for you.

i started reading book 3 of masquerade very recently but i'm still devastated about the monster baru cormorant. some notes about this piece under the cut!

[auramgold]

i love that this web serial that so so so many people i know were impacted by to a similar degree to fucking Homestuck is apparently published on the most generic wordpress site known to man

[auramgold]

this looks like a website i'm gonna get a virus on searching for some obscure mod patch for abandonware from 2003 not the place i go to find apparently some of the most important webfiction known to mankind

[rozecrest]

reading baru cormorant is like [recontextualization] [recontextualization] [gay sex] [recontextualization]

I only enforce your precedent. This is the world you chose to live in.

[queeranarchism]

If safety in your ideal society is entirely based on care by networks of affinity, and does not provide care for people who are not liked by anybody, then your society is actually even worse than the situation we are in now.

Pissing off people close to you or over-exhausting your social network or isolating yourself is often an inherent part of many mental health problems, addictions, etc. By the time people need care the most, they have often lost all their networks of affinity, and with some bad luck, any of us could find ourselves in that situation.

There has to be unconditional care available for the more unlikable of us, or there isn't really a safety net for any of us.

Please don't go to church because of me haha

[wolfythewitch]

Go to church if you want to genuinely explore that, it's cool if you do. But how I interact with religion/faith as someone who's been very hurt by it, lives in a country where you're essentially born into it and have it affect your daily life, and someone who's just genuinely interested in it and believes in it makes it very complicated. I'll be the first to state that the institution is not good and I am very critical of organized religion and the church as a whole. It has caused irreparable damage to millions of people. This isn't to discourage anyone who has genuinely found themselves wanting to explore that part of their life, just know that my art isn't quite an endorsement of it haha. Do your own research, if you can. Find good people. You know yourself and your values more than anyone else, listen to your head and heart. What I post does not quite encapsulate all I believe/feel about Christianity, or the sheer influence it has in so many things

Did I mention that I recently started watching Mobile Suit Gundam?

Thinking about how well Worm handles disability, especially compared to most other things in its genre. The way lifelong injuries are treated as a normal part of being a cape. The fact that Taylor is blind for awhile and it's not treated as a tragedy, and how when it's healed by scapegoat it's not treated as some sort of redemptive miracle, but just a thing that happened. Defiant's wounds still being something that effects him even though he has tinker magitech. Kid Wind having adhd and being helped by meds but then having to go off them due to side effects. Taylor seeing paralysis as a fate worse then death being seen as a her thing and not an objective fact (and probably being from trauma during the leviathan fight). Genesis's disability being something the people around her care about a lot more then her. Labyrinth and Bitch both being basically neurodivergent from their powers (labyrinth being essentially high support needs, and Bitch being essentially low support needs) with both being able to live fulfilling lives with people who care about them (also that scene with someone trying to baby talk Bitch near the end really hit home for me).

Also, Dragon, despite not being literally disabled is a very good disability allegory. People who don't know she's a machine often think she's disabled. The way her father put so many constraints on her because he didn't trust her, because of what she was. The way so many human characters see her right to live as something up for debate. The way Saint calls Defiant's attraction to her a fetish because he can only comprehend someone loving her as being some strange abnormality. The fact that teacher thinks it's ok to put constrains on her basically because he physically can. Defiant and her being intimate by testing how well they can feel sensations. Even just the way Saint talks about her not being able to truly feel emotion, but saying she tricked herself into doing so, is reminiscent of how some people talk about people with Cluster B disorders. And beyond that, the fact that all of the people who dehumanize her are framed as unquestionably in the wrong. Hell, she had a trigger event so even the eldritch horrors affirm her personhood.

I realize the discussion of Dragon was longer then I planned. But yeah, worm has much better disability rep then anything else I've seen in the superhero genre (probably because it's written by a disabled author).

Also I'm pretty sure you have to be neurodivergent to read a 1,672,617 word long internet book about the sociopolitical ramifications of superpowers. /j

I just realized I’ve survived everything I’ve ever encountered in life. I have a 100% survival rate. I’m fucking nailing it.

how to express my love for lesbian nuns in ways that people don't misconstrue as support for the catholic church

[transmortifried]

i think it's cool when women cheat on their husband (Christ) with their sister (fellow nun)
