Clashing forces

This is a blog for my Fan-Fiction story, Clashing Forces. Zaria Saijtoir has a hard enough time suriving in the Empire run Galaxy with out adding rebels into the mix. But Zaria may not have a choice as her fate clashes with a group of Rebels. I will also be posting other Star wars Stories when I feel like it.

ppl seem to do this thing in fandoms where theyll take a character whos inherently kind and trusting of people and then they make the fanon version of them ignorant or innocent to certain things by default and i dont like it

[pezpenser205]

what about the characters who know the dangers of loving and trusting but do it anyway out of strength? what about the ones that know more than anyone about what heartbreak people can cause, and love quickly and wholly because they dont want anyone to feel unloved and discarded ever again? what about them?

To be completely fair, authors of transhuman sci-fi aren’t 100% to blame for being oblivious to cyberpunk’s critique of the corporatisation of bodily autonomy – cyberpunk authors did a lot of that all on their own.

There’s a great deal of post-cyberpunk lit that wants to retain the chrome angst as an aesthetic trapping, but doesn’t want to engage with the politics that spawned it, so it scrubs those politics out and replaces “being augmented diminishes your humanity because now Elon Musk owns your left arm” with “being augmented diminishes your humanity because, like, prosthetics damage your soul“.

When transhuman lit came along and started taking shots at cyberpunk’s subtextual luddism, it wasn’t setting up a strawman: it was reacting against what post-cyberpunk lit had willingly done to itself in pursuit of mass-market appeal.

I think part of it was also that people were making games, like Shadowrun.

If you wanted to play as a cyborg, you’d get bonuses to your abilities, but the game rules had to balance it out so not everyone would play them. So they got a limitation somewhere else that was explained as cyber-crazy, or whatever.

It’s like the D&D thing where wizards can’t wear armor or use swords, and how that led a lot of fantasy writers never to give their wizards a badass blade, even though Tolkien, granddaddy of the way we write wizards at all, gave a cool sword to Gandalf.

What started as “making sure there’s still a reason to play as a fleshling” became A Trope About Tech Scary.

In a spaceship, there is usually no gravity, except for the occasions where there is all the gravity (or at least G-force).

In a boat, there is usually gravity in one direction, except for the occasions where gravity changes rapidly.

Me: "We haven't met Delirium yet, and I'm excited, because Tori Amos is a perfect inspiration for... anyone."

Friend:

"I like the implication that Neil Gaiman is now GOING to find an actress specifically to piss this guy off to play Delirium."

the kind of gay representation i want from marvel is simple. i want to hear a grindr noise from bucky’s phone while he and sam are staking a place out and sam is like come ON dude

[spiritsflame]

this and the stakeout is in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Bucky pulls out his phone like he’s about to swipe right on Greg-the-Henchman, mostly to fuck with Sam.

Meanwhile, Greg-the-Henchman, showing off this hot match he just made and his buddy Jake-the-Henchman, who is more up to date on the briefings, just “...Is that the winter soldier.’

and there is a single moment. before they both remember that grindr is proximity based.  “Oh FUCK we gotta GO!”
