FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU

SECOND... I apologize, I have the brain of a gold fish or probably a hamster sitting by the hamster wheel eating fandom stuff and forgot that I have a tumblr. 🤣🤣🤣

If you are still here with me this is for you, have some Belchael. 💛✨️

[asrabounding]

looks like I missed a step. What's Hellbent? Also welcome back? /hopeful?

Thank you for asking! Hellbent is a new game on Dorian by the brand new studio @magicshop-games (if you liked the writing in Modern Arcana, Love Me Dead and the art of Romancing The Pirate, Slashfic, this is for you)

You (MC) barely survive a sacrificial ritual by a shady cult and end up caught in ancient drama between two angels and two demons, each determined to lead you down the path of devotion… or corruption.

Uriel: your guardian angel

Mephisto: master of deals

Michael: divine justice

Belial: keeper of secrets

I am pretty much retired from everything fandom so I will only be reposting occasionally, so if this looks like your cup of tea, go and follow @magicshop-games to keep up with it!

Sweet nothings

Characters from @magicshop-games Hellbent on Dorian!

athena and aphrodite know EXACTLY what matters and that is HEROIC BIMBOFICATION!

[pirateprincessjess]

My favorite part of this post is that it implies Fred is the one saying “FUCK” because we know who typically says the other 4 things

[notaplaceofhonour]

which makes sense as he’s the one who actually legally owns it

oh my god thank you for the second perspective, it honestly makes me feel way less stressed about this image, you have no idea

[smimon]

Here’s the second image again since it somehow disappeared in reblogs

[girlnextvore]

this sims 2 ad has like such deep gay energy to it. Like this feels like queer history to me

[bingomann]

[hoodiegal]

The funny thing is that it wasn't even an intentional stance taking. They just forgot to code a check to make sure characters genders "matched", resulting in that characters could get into relationships regardless of gender.

[fungaljungal]

What the hell are you talking about? They didn't forget anything. A programmer for the sims 1 was a gay man who programmed gay relationships into the game and they kept adding it back, intentionally, in each game.

[json-derulo]

Actually, you’re both correct. It was an accident and a deliberate decision by one gay developer:

“During The Sims’s protracted development, the team had debated whether to permit same-sex relationships in the game. If this digital petri dish was to accurately model all aspects of human life, from work to play and love, it was natural that it would facilitate gay relationships. But there was also fear about how such a feature might adversely affect the game. “No other game had facilitated same-sex relationships before—at least, to this extent—and some people figured that maybe we weren’t the ideal ones to be first, as this was a game that E.A. really didn’t want to begin with,” Barret told me. “It felt to me like a fear thing.” After going back and forth for several months, the team finally decided to leave same-sex relationships out of the game code.

When Barrett joined the company, in October, 1998, he was unaware of the decision. A fortnight into his new job, he found himself with nothing to do when his supervisor, the game’s lead programmer, Jamie Doornbos, took a short vacation. Jim Mackraz, Barrett’s boss, needed a task to occupy his new employee, and he handed Barrett a document that outlined how social interactions in the game would work; the underlying rules for the game’s A.I. that would dictate how the characters would dynamically interact with one another. “He didn’t think I could handle it with Jamie off on vacation, but he figured that at least I’d be out of his hair,” Barrett told me. “Neither he nor I realized that he’d given me an old design document to work from.”

That design document predated the decision to exclude gay relationships in the game. Its pages described a web of social interactions, in which every kind of romantic relationship was permitted. That week, Barrett confounded the expectations of his disbelieving boss. He successfully wrote the basic code for social interactions, including same-sex relationships. “In hindsight, I probably should have questioned the design,” Barrett, who is gay, said. “But the design felt right, so I just implemented it. Later, Will Wright stopped by my desk,” Barrett said. “He told me that liked the social interactions, and that he was glad to see that same-sex support was back in the game.” Nobody on the team questioned Barrett’s work. “They just pretty much ignored it,” he said. “After a while, everyone was just used to the design being there. It was widely expected that E.A. would just kill it, anyway.”

In early 1999, before E.A. had a chance to kill the design, Barrett was asked to create a demo of the game to be shown at E3. The demo would consist of three scenes from the game. These were to be so-called on-rails scenes—not a true, live simulation but one that was preplanned, and which would shake out the same way each time it was played, in order to show the game in its best light. One of the scenes was a wedding between two Sims characters. “I had run out of time before E3, and there were so many Sims attending the wedding that I didn’t have time to put them all on rails,” Barrett said.

On the first day of the show, the game’s producers, Kana Ryan and Chris Trottier, watched in disbelief as two of the female Sims attending the virtual wedding leaned in and began to passionately kiss. They had, during the live simulation, fallen in love. Moreover, they had chosen this moment to express their affection, in front of a live audience of assorted press.”

[this-is-varsexism-transphobia]

I've noticed that there is a massive lack of understanding in the community about what sex/gender-affirming procedures exist for varsex (intersex, ersex, dysex, transsex) and genderqueer/transgender people.

So, for the sake of awareness, here is a very brief rundown of what sex/gender reassignment surgeries exist:

Vaginoplasty: The (re)construction of a vaginal canal. The depth and width of the canal is semi-customizable, and depends on what tissue you decide to use for its creation.

Vulvoplasty: The (re)construction of the outer vulva (labia, clitoris, etc.) When this is done on a penis, the patient can choose whether or not they wish to place the labia atop/above/below the scrotum, or to turn the scrotum itself into labia.

Phallus-Preserving Vaginoplasty/PPV: A vaginoplasty on someone who has a penis or clitorophallus, which preserves the phallus while creating a vagina beneath it. Can also become a phallus preserving vulvoplasty, if labia and a clitoris are crafted beneath the phallus.

Metoidioplasty: The release of a clitoris that has been enlarged by androgens (clitoromegaly), either from HRT or from an intersex variation. The ligaments that hold the clitoris down are cut, allowing it to point upwards when erect. If this is done without any other alterations to the genitals, it is known as a Simple-Release Metoidioplasty. If other alterations are desired, the person can choose to create a scrotum (and choose if they desire testicular implants), can choose to have the vagina removed (if one is present), and can choose to move the urethra to the tip of the phallus (unless the individual already had clitoris-placed epispadias.)

Phalloplasty: The (re)construction of a penis. When done to someone with a pre-existing phallus, the person can choose whether or not they want the phallus buried within the newly crafted penis (leaving the person with only one phallus), or if they want to create the penis separately above the pre-existing phallus (leaving the person with two phalluses.) If they have a vagina, they may choose to preserve the vagina (Vagina-Preserving Phalloplasty/VPP), or have it removed. A person can choose whether or not they want their newly crafted penis to have glans, a scrotum (with or without testicular implants), or the urethra moved to the tip.

Nullification: The removal of the genitals, leaving a mostly-smooth space behind. A person can choose to keep the pleasure nerves and have them buried beneath the skin, or have them removed. If they have a pre-existing vagina, they may choose whether or not they wish to remove it.

Penectomy/Clitoroidectomy: The removal of a phallus.

Labiaplasty: The creation, removal, or reshaping of the labia.

Circumcision/Hoodectomy: The removal of the foreskin/clitoral hood.

Dorsal Slit/Ventril Slit: The creation of a slit within the foreskin.

Urethroplasty: The (re)construction of the urethra, possibly moving it to a new location.

Perineal Urethrostomy: The opening of a urethra on the perineum. This procedure can be essential to the preservation of the genital nerves for people with certain intersex variations, such as some cases of urethral agenesis or urethral hypoplasia.

Phallus Splitting: The splitting of a phallus (typically a penis) in half. This could be the entire phallus split in half (creating two separate penises), or just the glans.

Genital Beading: The insertion of beads within the shaft of a phallus, or within the labia. These beads could be of any shape (circular, square, stars, etc).

Hysterectomy/Uterectomy: The removal of part or all of the uterus.

Uteroplasty/Hysteroplasty/Metroplasty: The merging of two halves of a uterus/two uteruses, done to those who have bicornuate uterus, septate uterus, or uterus didelphys (septate type, bicornuate type, and complete type.)

Cervical (Re)construction: The (re)construction of a cervix, often done due to cervical damage or for intersex people who have cervical agenesis, cervical hypoplasia, or cervical duplication.

Trachelectomy: The removal of part or all of the cervix.

Prostatectomy: The removal of part or all of the prostate.

Gonadectomy: The removal of a gonad (ovary, testicle, ovoteste.) Oophorectomy refers to the removal of an ovary, and Orchiectomy refers to the removal of a teste.

Orchiopexy: A procedure to move the teste/ovoteste into the genital area of an intersex person with cryptorchidism.

Vastectomy: A procedure to snip the vas deferens, in order to halt fertility. This procedure may or may not be reversible.

Tubal Ligation: A procedure to tie or snip the fallopian tubes, in order to halt fertility. This procedure may or may not be reversible.

Salpingectomy: A procedure to remove a fallopian tube.

Mastectomy: The removal of a breast.

Breast Reduction: The removal of some breast tissue, reducing its size.

Nipple Reduction: The removal of some of the nipple, reducing its size.

Nipple Excision: The removal of a nipple.

Areola Reduction: The removal of some of the areola, reducing it's size.

Nipple (Re)construction: The (re)construction of the nipple.

Mammaplasty: The creation or reshaping of the breast. Breast Augmentation is a subset of this, describing a procedure done to increase the size of breasts. Mastopexy/Breast Lift is a subset of this, describing the lift of saggy breasts.

Tracheal Shave: The shaving of the Adam's apple, reducing its size.

Feminizing Laryngoplasty: The shaving of the vocal chords, increasing the pitch of the voice, as well as potentially reducing the size of the Adam's apple.
