I think I've only seen one other person point this out so far, but it feels really disgusting that there aren't any warnings about what's in episode 9 in the leaked episode or in any of the places where you can get the movie tickets. Or even if there is a warning planned to be added at the beginning for when the movie comes out it still feels really scummy to not bring up any trigger warnings until after people who could potentially be triggered have bought tickets and go and see it.
And i really don't want fans to go "oh but it's not for kids, it's for adults it doesn't need a trigger warning the trailer already showed it was gonna be distressing!!!" Cause that is not what i mean, i mean with the whole sexual coercion scene with gangle. Cause i have genuinely already seen two people who saw the leaks make posts mentioning getting heavily affected by that scene, and if that's just two people reacting to the leaked clips i genuinely feel scared for what's gonna happen to people who are equally as easily triggered by stuff like that who actually go out to see the movie in theaters. It's not "giving out spoilers" to add a basic warning that there's gonna be a sexual coercion scene, it's literally just common sense.
guys im soooo excited to see real raora in concert!!!! and everyone else!!! im not gonna buy in person tickets but we WILL be watching serendipity on livestream both days and its going to be so cool :D
we saw connect the world in person as well as grimoire so as awesome as it would be to see serendipity in person too i think it's better to watch this one on streaming, but i still look forward to it so much >:O this will also be the first concert we see with advent and justice. everyone's gonna do so great and i heard rumors of ina performing bad apple... i wonder what raora is going to sing... and ccgg... and biboo...
now that we know the leaks are most definitely not fake (we never really thought they were, but sort of held out a little bit of subconscious hope) i'm honestly a little scared of seeing it.
99% of it will be fine (albeit badly written), and i'm glad i know what's going to happen, but the weird jax/gangle sexual harassment thing is. really going to trigger me. gangle is our favorite character and someone we relate to a lot, and being around themes of sexual assault, however graphic or not, is going to be really upsetting.
we're seeing it with a friend and again most of the finale will be tolerable so we're going to go see it anyway, i'm just worried for how we'll react to that one scene. as well as the unintentionally super dark ending of the abstractions just being stuck in an aquarium forever--as a person with psychosis who can often feel trapped while agitated or disoriented, it's not going to make us feel great.
can anyone who's seen it in theatres already tell us if there's a warning beforehand? i understand it might have been omitted from the leaks (and i forget if there is one since we just skimmed the portuguese dub), but if there's just no warning for sa or suicide at the beginning that just feels. really irresponsible. again i don't know if there is or not so i'd like someone who saw it in theatres to confirm.
this is a little venty, but i've been having a lot of strong issues around sex lately, and i've spent most of today curled up on the sofa trying not to feel gross after some difficulties yesterday. one could argue i should just stay away/be kept away from front, but that solution is tenuous at best since i can get triggered out easily, and having a cdd makes control of symptoms difficult. i'll try. i'm just nervous. and i feel really gross that gooseworx decided to add these things in when they served literally no purpose except to make jax more of an asshole and to make an alleged "happy ending."
edit: oh, and the strangling scene. that's another one we're really not looking forward to since it's very graphic and i get squeamish around that. episode 8 was fine for me because the violence was incredibly cartoonish and impossible, but literally just being choked out is going to be pretty disturbing. eugh. it lasts a while, right? this is going to be awesomeeee...
Something that maybe some people with out a CDD might not get about get about them is truly how covert switches can be. And I don't just mean the switches themselves but afterwards, people often expect the new fronting alter to be confused and maybe you'll hear a "where am I?" or a " Who are you?" If it's a part you haven't met. But that'd of course be very obvious and quite often dangerous and the disorder is about protection.
I've switched out in a house I as an alter haven't been to before and while my emotional side is very disorientated and a little anxious logically I know where I am and that we have been here before even if it doesn't feel it. And I just have to roll with it, mask act as though nothing has happened. The confusion and fear is there but I can't show it.
this is an appreciation post for my aroace queerplatonic girlfriend. i love her so much and i would like to tell all aroace people that you are valid whether or not you want to be in a relationship or qpr or anything like that. i am so very happy to be in a queerplatonic relationship with her and she makes me feel so loved and happy.
it’s nice to be in a relationship where we both love the way we love and it’s fine, she loves me nonromantically and i love her romantically and it works well and we spend so much time together and i’ve always been happy to have her around. i love her and all the cuddles and little forehead kisses and collapsing on the couch watching youtube together and all the time we get just enjoying each others company.
i hope every aroace person on this planet, especially those in systems who might have different experiences with sexuality, feels valid about who they are. whether romance/sex repulsed or not i love you and you deserve the type of love you want.
and to ithaa, i could spend forever with you. and i hope i do. and i hope everyone has a very very very good pride month.
