No but you gotta understand part of what makes Sonny Boy such a good coming of age narrative is that things just happen. The world doesn't explain itself or really even make sense, and you can't change that. It's a choice to accept this and keep moving forward, or to stay static and never know. That's what coming of age stories are about.

If there were a place that shone brighter than the place you’re at, would you want to go see it? Or would you stay where you are and just keep staring at it?

A dandelion, I guess

Then you’re just like me!

"I would never-"

You would if you were tired enough. You would if you were hungry enough. You would if your mind and body had been worn down enough, through pain or disease or toil or violent struggle. You might if you were put on the wrong medicine, or you got the wrong kind of head injury, or you were forced to choose between someone else and yourself. You might if your livelihood was staked on it, or all your hopes and dreams. You might if you didn't know what else to do, if it's what you were taught or if nobody taught you anything else.

I have not been worn down in most of these ways. I have lived a remarkably privileged life. But I have been worn down in some ways. And they were enough to teach me that in the wrong circumstances, any of us can become someone we don't want to be. It's worth keeping that in mind.

wait, WHAT happened on the wiki precisely?

to cut a long story short; the hollow knight wiki has decided to replace the pronouns of pretty much every single canonically nonbinary character in silksong (and i do mean nonbinary as in they are literally textually referred to with they/them in-game) with either she/her or he/him. this decision is based on secondhand reports from an unnamed translator who supposedly has access to the design document team cherry used to officially designate the gender of every character. it's important to note that

nobody besides the wiki admins knows who this translator is (or if they're even legally allowed to distribute this information)

nobody outside the wiki admins is able to verify this translator, or the existence of the list they're sourcing

the wiki admins continue to insist the translations used in this unpublished, unverified, and very likely actively illegal list take significant priority over what's directly stated multiple times in the published game

the wiki admins refuse to explain why they believe any of this nonsense, or why they thought this was a good idea to begin with

this pronoun fuckery has not happened with any other character. only the members of the cast who explicitly go by they/them have had their pages changed to use different pronouns according to the admin's obviously comically dubious sources.

many people, including myself, have attempted to voice our complaints to the admins for some time now. they have yet to reverse the changes, or apologize for pulling any of this bullshit.

if you want even more context, you can see their official ""explanation"" here. that link also includes a very excellent reblog with screenshots proving exactly why the wiki administrative team is full of shit. the notes go into even further detail on the matter.

I think parents don't understand how punishing a child isn't for when they make you upset, it's for when they do something wrong. Like, you don't just punish them for stress relief, it's so they can learn right from wrong.

So if your kid learns, for example, that helping mom make dinner = getting in the way, but not helping = being lazy, but asking if mom needs help = being annoying and asking stupid questions, then you have basically trained a person to see the only option that doesn't lead to scolding as 'hide and don't be thought of until dinner is done'. So now what relationship is your kid going to have with cooking or cleaning or chores in general? How is that going to affect them as an adult?

If there is no right answer regarding the things that bother a parent, then your kid is going to associate those things with being punished no matter what they do. If talking during a car ride is bad and annoying, but being quiet and staring out the window is bad and disrespectful, then what are they going to do every time they're in the car with you but count every word they say? If texting is suspicious, but why don't they have friends, but going out with people is irresponsible, but why don't they ever leave their room, but their friends are all bad influences, but why did they stop hanging out with them, they were nice kids, then what are you even doing?

If playing video games is lazy, going outside is unsafe, playing is ignoring chores and doing chores is being in the way, then YOU'VE CREATED A CHILD WHO'S LEARNED THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID BEING SCOLDED IS TO DISAPPEAR WHENEVER YOU'RE IN A BAD MOOD! You've created a person who is hardwired to feel guilty no matter what they choose to do. You turned them into a confrontation ninja, who can vanish as soon as a hard conversation enters the picture. You've trained a person to disregard why rules exist and instead focus on who they can placate and suck up to in order to make the rules change. Because to them, rules and punishments are just who gets on the bosses nerves at the wrong time.
