OUT OF CHARACTER . . . So today, I got some news about my mother's health. I don't know how to feel about the subject. Forgive me if I am somewhat scattered more so than normal. I don't know how to feel about this.

“Is it safe to assume then Dazai-sensei, that one among these family and friends is your source of inspiration?”

“Then you would be correct. Naturally, it’s my darling Atsushi who is my most ardent supporter. I have never known writer’s block ever since the beginning of our relationship.”

“A-ah yes, of course. Naturally, as you say.” She clears her throat, “Will Dazai-sensei be working on another book immediately or perhaps take a longer break this time?”

“Hmmm, actually…”

2face didn t nearly destroy the planet to get back at his ex

True.

Yet, I can't imagine Catra outing Adora in a modern AU to ruin her life. That's what Harvey put his object of affection through.

Renee wasn't his ex. He truly loved her, but...

He expressed his love for her in a twisted, forceful manner.

Even Catra wouldn't go this far to make Adora hers. They would simply be enemies, just like in the show.

SWTOR: Disturbing Bug

So because EA/BW is being really extra with this patch, there are reports of a very disturbing visual bug affecting female characters. The bug makes the character’s neck stretch and their head falls to the side, as though they have been beheaded. It has shown up in cut scenes and gameplay.  Someone on YouTube documented it with several characters on Ord Mantell. This is not my video and I will warn that it shows the bug in all its gruesome glory several times. But this person demonstrated the bug occurring several times with different female toons, but not male ones doing the same content.  Another YouTuber (again, not me) documented the bug with a toon who appeared to be clicking a mission objective.  I only play women characters, and I have been through through various areas, such as the Imperial Onderon quests, Section X on both sides and numerous heroics without encountering it. However, it hit SorcSuvia (Sith Inquisitor BT4, Sorcerer) on Ziost so I can confirm it exists.  The bug hit her every single time she scanned the human ashes, but did not affect the other mission tasks at all. I’ll put the screencaps behind a cut because it’s kind of awful. 

I don’t even know how to tell people how to avoid this, and I don’t think anyone has been able to document every single place it happens. I could say that I’m extremely creeped out that this sort of bug, which seems to depict violence against the character and only affects women (or has only been documented to occur with female characters this far) is in the game. 

If this sort of image would be upsetting or triggering to you, please be forewarned that it’s happening in-game right now. 

If you do see the bug, please send a Bug Report to SWTOR, either by using /bug or the customer service window. If you are Preferred or F2P you can let EA/BW know about this by emailing them at [email protected].

Today, someone told me I'm not trans, and probably never was.

An old friend of mine posted that you MUST feel dysphoria, or you're not trans. This old friend is cis, and I felt angry that she was gatekeeping a community that she isn't even a part of. So I commented as such.

A stranger replied to my comment, to call me a moron, to display blatant transphobia, and to condescend to me and explain what dysphoria is. I am a trans man that experiences dysphoria every single day. But this person, this complete stranger made assumptions based on ambiguous wording. They assumed that I'm non-binary (they actually used the phrase "special snowflake non binary tard"), they assumed that my anger at the post was because I personally don't experience gender dysphoria, and then they outright said "you're probably not trans and never were".

Okay, sure. Thank you, stranger on the internet with the anime profile pic, for taking ten minutes out of your day to insult me, condescend to me, and then wholly invalidate my identity. Thank you for taking that time to get to know me.

Honestly? I unfriended someone I've known for almost ten years today, because I suddenly realised that I was not safe in their space. But thank you, stranger, for taking the time to make me feel even worse about my safe space shrinking.

Here's the thing. Who or what someone is, physically or otherwise, is none of your god damn business. Don't assume, don't invalidate, just listen and accept. It's nobody's job to be representative of everyone who shares their gender identity. And it certainly isn't anybody's job to teach you some fucking manners. Shut the fuck up or get smacked the fuck up. It's 2018 and I haven't got time to explain to you all the ways in which you are a dumbass. But hey, I'm glad that at least you had fun.

Fy Catra is worse than Harvey did you forget White Out? She infected Adora with the red crystal wanted to keep her in that drugged state keeping her under control Harvey did not take away Renees free will!

Tearing apart someone's life to force them into choosing you as a lover – regardless of their incompatible sexuality – isn't cool either. Two-Face wasn't giving Renee a choice in the matter.

Both Harvey and Catra hurt people in their own awful ways, but only one of them redeemed herself for good. The other continues to ruin his own life.

I take issue with people who assert that Catra is gonna "revert to her old habits in about a week," even though the show says otherwise. These individuals are ignoring canon facts just as much as the shippers who deny the abusive elements of pre-season 5 Catradora.

Frankly, they're both annoying.

Harvey Dent  & Renee Montoya Moments

“Things have always been weird between him and me.”  — Renee Montoya, Convergence: The Question #1

“She was looking at him, and for another second, he remained distracted. But this time by those brown eyes. The warmth in them. Gilda had, had blue eyes – he remembered. His wife before the accident, and his world splitting into two halves. Gilda’s eyes had been blue. He thought he liked Montoya’s eyes more...”   — Harvey Dent, Batman: No Man’s Land (novel)
