Potc is crazy because it spends 90% of its time with wacky pirate shenanigans and then every so often it stops and stares you dead in the eyes and asks what it would take for you to abandon your moral philosophy and at what point the greater good outweighs the individual good and then it goes right back to wacky pirate shenanigans .5 seconds later

trans poc, please i beg of you get transition inspo of people with your ethnicity

i was incredibly dysphoric about my round face and softer features until i started looking at the faces of hispanic men and realized that those features weren’t feminine at all, they were ethnic features white supremacy had conditioned me to see as less masculine

your ethnic features are beautiful, and you do not need to look european to look masculine or feminine

what would rocky be the saint patron of and how would he be canonised you think

i'm going to be a bit of a pedantic fun ruiner and say that rocky just doesn't qualify for sainthood - and that's a good thing. the reason that you can sincerely call grace things like "the patron saint of one-way trips" with a straight face is because he is straight up violently sacrificed (both as a consequence of the project being a suicide mission and in the sense that the induced amnesia strips him of his former identity) and raised up in order to perform a miracle that will save humanity from an apocalyptic event of legitimately biblical proportions. for a cause named after one of the most famous sacrificial religious figures in all of human history, no less. it's an almost absurdly and rather horrifyingly literal take on the prayer for divine intercession "hail mary, full of grace". it's a catholic's wet dream.

rocky is... not that. rocky and his crew were never meant to be on a suicide mission. nobody was supposed to die at all. rocky is, in fact, the sole survivor. there is something to be said of the blip-a, with its intricate, almost unbearably beautiful cathedral-like structure that refracts and radiates light, singing as it soars through the skies, chasing grace playfully and sending him messages across the void as if to say "be not afraid", being evocative of the angelic, and something to be said of the eridian language being made of music; of rocky being able to use this to communicate with an alien megastructure in order to fly through time and space. rocky feeling compelled to fulfil his purpose to the point of spending nearly half a century alone rather than returning home, and push the boundaries of possibility itself to "fix" as much as he can. but rocky isn't an angel, either.

there is, however, something else that is a significant recurring motif in religious mythology and folklore across a variety of cultures throughout human history, but not exclusive to any one of them. something that travels across the universe, enduring the centuries, singing all the while, and brings comfort to those who need it even when they have nothing else left. what do we call a rock in the sky, too blisteringly hot to ever touch even if we could close the immense distance between us, that burns itself up to show us the way home?

a star, of course.

been thinking really hard about beautiful shijie shen yuan and her big, giant, massive, jiggling... heart. she's so kind and sweet and soft and and and

very very important that this shen yuan is also a tranmigrator but was a man in her previous life and she has 0 self awareness. so she's out here like "yes! i am so much happier and feel so much better about my body because binghe would never kill a woman! this is a free pass for me!!!" and then she just never realizes what she actually is. she is somehow still an egg while being in the body she didn't know she always wanted.

These days, lots of public libraries have a "library of things" collection where you can check out kitchen appliances or yard tools or toys, and, as a children's library assistant, the most popular library of things item that I handle regularly is a plastic scepter thingy called like "unicorn princess magic wand". And whenever I check it out I make a big show of looking at the little kid and being like "do you solemnly swear to use your unicorn princess magic powers only for good and never for evil?"

And pretty much without fail, the little kid will get the world's most mischievous grin and go "I'm gonna use it for EVIL!!!"

there's something so deeply dystopian to me how tech companies don't understand that a forced convenience is not a convenience at all. i'm sure autocorrect is helpful for many, but a function that forcibly changes my actual written words and punctuation is taking away my language. photo filters can be nice but i need to choose using them myself or else i have lost the ability to take the picture i want. i don't want a machine to draw or write for me. taking away the option for me to do things manually feels like violence!!!! all this talk of endless opportunity, why are you RESTRICTING me

fun fact about character development by the way. you can make them develop worse.

[duckbunny]

like I mean this very seriously as writing advice. the character should experience events and make decisions that make them different at the end of the story. they should be changed. they do not have to be improved.

they can get worse. they can make decisions of an increasingly terrible nature. they can stop taking risks on kindness. they can discover how much they can get away with. they can find religion, or abandon it, with negative effects on their moral creed. the character has to develop. the character does not have to grow.
