Click here to support Aaron's Top Surgery Fundraiser

This surgery, the next step in my transition, is very important to me and necessary for my mental and emotional health as I continue to struggle with body related gender dysphoria. The surgery will be carried out by Dr. Charles Garramone in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Dr. Garramone does not accept...

I wanted to share this again. I had my phone consult with Garramone today and I can’t describe how excited I am to be finally taking this step. I am bending over backwards to get the money together and make this happen. It is my hope that I’ll be able to call Garramone back and save a date for my surgery by the end of the month, to be completed by New Years, but I need your help (and a little luck) to do that.

Hey everyone, I know I’ve been MIA on this blog for quite some time now. Most of that is due to a loss of muse in addition to a general ramping up of activity IRL (from work to other things). Anyways, I just wanted to share this here and see if I could get some signal boosts. No obligation, of course, but it would really help me out!

[overwatchers-rp]

aight y’all so I’m finally doing a thing that I think is a long time coming.... I’m moving my widowmaker blog to a mainblog!! :D

This comes with a URL change as well, so I hope to see you all over there and I hope it doesn’t confuse anyone too much!!

they’re just not that into you: tumblr rp edition

So we need to talk about things, we do.

I keep seeing people complaining about feeling ignored. And some weeks I feel ignored, too. And sometimes I talk to people who have tried to say ‘no thank you, I’m not interested’ in 546378 different ways, and people take that as ‘I need to be more creative and persistent’.

It’s time we were honest;

Sometimes, an RPer is just not that into you.

They are begging for threads when it’s their turn on replies. They have a wishlist but they turn you down when you ask. Communication has drawn to a halt. You start every message with ‘hi sorry to bother you’. You nudge them repeatedly and they are unresponsive.

… they are just not that into you.

Here are some reasons why this might be the case:

You’re trying to write yourself into their background and it doesn’t work well with their headcanons.

Your writing styles are just unmeshy things. Oil. Water. Bam.

They don’t agree with some aspect of they way you play your character (and this doesn’t make you wrong; just incompatible). <– especially canons tbh. We all see them differently. Which is great.

They don’t mesh with some aspect of the way you run your blog generally - more ooc than they are comfortable with, too much negativity about fandoms, characters, ships or people, too many photos of your stamp collection.

Your styles clash. One of you likes heavy formatting and structure and the other likes things plain.

What you initially discussed is not unfolding right for them.

They just don’t feel it.

They have a lot of threads and they don’t want to cut down on others for one they’re lukewarm about.

None of these things are likely to be the case:

They hate you.

They think you suck.

This is NOT about ‘quality’ (i hate that word being used around here). It’s about compatibility.

Let me ask you… can you really enjoy a thread knowing you had to harass someone into it? I doubt it.

I am not talking about people who take a little longer than usual to reply, because our lives fluctuate. Or people who have long breaks (hooray, they have lives!). I mean when someone is around a lot and it’s just a constant impasse. Or your messages never get answered.

This does not mean you are a bad RPer. This means one thing: You are not compatible with the other writer.  That is all, and it doesn’t reflect badly on you, or on them.

If someone goes on a date and it flops, we don’t blame them, right? And they can still be friends, or civil, or leave on okay terms.

This is a huge world. Really there are thousands of us. It sucks when someone you want to RP with just doesn’t seem that interested. But someone else will be interested. Stop chasing people who aren’t. It will be easier for you both.

Author problems: trying to write characters who are smarter than you are

concept: lenily wedding event

your goal is to escort the payload (tracer, in a fancy suit) to the church in kings row.  you have three minutes to do this.

you have to shoot obstacles (boxes, parked cars, paint cans, flowerpots, etc) out of the way 

if anything gets on tracer’s suit, you lose five seconds off the clock

(if you have a reaper on ur team, he can fix the suit)

you can actually enter the church and look around. there is a gift table/signature book piled high with presents and cards from everyone, including the talon trio, the junkers, etc.  

 you have to drop tracer off at the beginning of the aisle and find seats before the timer runs out

at the end of the match there is an unskippable cutscene made in the quality of the canon shorts of them exchanging vows and kissing, even if the timer runs out.

the only difference is that at the beginning of a losing game cutscene, tracer apologizes for being late and emily reassures her that shes just glad her beautiful bride made it on time (and also tracer’s suit and hair are kind of messy)

after they kiss, the whole audience goes wild and starts shooting their guns off inside the church.  mccree is holding his hat in front of his face and pretending like hes not crying.  zarya picks up the happy couple and parades them around on her shoulders.  winston gets a big hug from both of them

 the brides run out the door hand in hand into a biplane parked outside with cans tied to the back and a “just married” sign

honestly the tracer voice line doesn’t mean shit to me at this point

before overwatch even came out last may they were promising “multiple lgbt heroes”. fast forward seven months and we get tracer, in a comic, not even the main game, kissing her girlfriend. later in an interview, also not in the game, she gets confirmed to be a lesbian.

and then fast forward six more months and we finally get a voice line mentioning her girlfriend that’s so vague that anyone who hasn’t read the comic isn’t going to know who emily is. “i wonder if i’ll have time to visit emily”

without context, emily could be anyone from an old friend to a sister to a fucking pet

for the uprising event we got widow and her dead husband’s wedding picture as a spray and ana and fareeha’s unnamed father holding baby fareeha and cooing. what a great opportunity for a spray with tracer and emily together!

no it’s a postcard of her flying slipstream

and when valentines day came no lines about emily in the ptr, only some shoehorned in gency. they aren’t even canonically together and they’ve gotten more dialogue about their “relationship” than tracer and her canon gf

blizzard is trying to be very careful but it’s so fucking transparent why the only confirmation was in the comic and interviews, and the only canon in game dialogue is a super vague mention of someone named emily.

and still only one of the “multiple” lgbt heroes a year after we were promised multiple? i’ll believe it when i see it but you guy s are giving blizzard too much when they’re giving you nothing

its important in storytelling to let the viewer come to their own understanding of what happened sometimes
