#tw: rant

[boring-kid-in-the-internet]

Being a masc (/being trans in general) with transphobic family who doesn't want you to wear pants for school can get humiliating. Cuz youd meet a masc person with hairiest arms and legs and yet youd see them wearing a fucking above the knee pencil skirt with the deepest frown against mankind

(Okay lemme just rant for a second:)

(Even if they bring Valko back, I don't even know if I want to play anymore. I love the game and characters, Sylus has been a deep comfort character for me and a character who existed when I've really needed it, but the fact that Infold is basically at the whims of a corrupted government ruins it for me. As apparently, the government is now threatening to shut down Infold because of very bad accidental references and Valko quote "threatening Chinese sensibilities".

I shouldn't have to worry about the content I want from a game never happening or characters I love having to be watered down or taken down because a country I don't even fucking live in wants to tell developers what to do.

This is exactly why, for as much as I complain about Hoyoverse too, they left mainland China and moved to a neighboring country under a different name to avoid the government breathing down this necks. Notice how since then, female characters are even more "scandalous" than Mona was during the controversy?

Infold has options and they NEED to pick one:

-Make the game mainland China only. If you don't care about your global fans, don't bother expanding if you clearly don't view them as financially important.

-Move their offices / business structure OUT OF MAINLAND. Hoyoverse did this successfully and have not had the government breathing down their necks since.

-Bring back Valko for global ONLY and make an entirely different character in the same position fit China's "standards". Even keep the same animations and concepts, just make them easily swappable! Chinese games have done this before, Legend of the Phoenix has units/companions that are US release only.

Cause pretending Valko never existed isn't solving fucking anything and frankly, no one will EVER trust this company again if they ever release another game. Here I thought the story retcons in Nikki were bad enough...)

TW/CW: vent, rant, mentions of transphobia, being labelled as transphobic

Please read this Pastebin for a post I'm too afraid to put into an actual Tumblr post. This is actually important, and it's something that's been biting at me for quite some time.

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

tw: swearing and rant about genshin

I’m so mad. I’m legit so mad.

Where the fuck is Pierro. The DIRECTOR of the Fatui. The possibly wisest SAGE OF KHANREIAH??!!

So you’re telling me we aren’t even going to see him, Hoyo? You’re not even gonna give us false hope like you did with Capitano, Hoyo? We’re supposed to sing praises when you toss us four completely out of nowhere male characters to distract us with, Hoyo? Just so you can give them nonexistent lore relevance, or worse, make them relevant for more than one patch, and give them mediocre fanservice, Hoyo? Just tell me he’s getting killed off, Hoyo . Or has already somehow mysteriously died.

Somehow PULCINELLA has more screen time and hope for playability/relevance. (No hate to Pulcinella fans, in fact I’m happy for you.) 

Tell me, hoyo, where the fuck is Pierro? 

Where the fuck is Pierro, the last straw I have before I quit your godforsaken, tone-deaf, goonbait, gambling, shitty-ass graphics, shitty-ass ‘oh we’re making the deus ex machina the power of friendship for the 543254674576647545765647 time!’ story, shitty-ass game, once and for-fucking all? 

Where the fuck is Pierro, Hoyo?

Nikdy nepotkávejte své hrdiny, protože pak o půl roku později budete projíždět místy, kde jste je potkali, a uvědomíte si, že pokud si vás daný člověk pamatuje (malá šance), tak si vás pamatuje jako největšího kokota na planetě, a budete se za to nesnášet.

I’m a ASOIAF book loyalist as much as the next person. I generally didn’t agree with the changes made in S2. I think Ryan Condal and Sarah Hess are off their rocker. I think GRRM needs to be given more say over this project and my heart hurts how much he’s been shunned from HOTD.

HOWEVER, if an episode is good. I am going to enjoy it. Sorry, last night’s episode was enjoyable for me. I really liked how they did the battle of the gullet. Yes, I would have preferred the book accurate battle but I’m like a hungry dog happy with scraps from the table at this point. I also really enjoy the Rhaena/Nettles storyline more than I thought I would. I enjoyed the weird ass scene between Alicent and Aemond.

At the end of the day I want this show to succeed because the actors deserve it. They bring life to these characters and also, because I love the bones of this story. I’m so sick of seeing posts of people putting down the people who are trying to enjoy the show. I’m not talking about healthy discourse or being unhappy with how something was done but people who genuinely cannot get over the fact that this show is unfortunately going to go four seasons and wasn’t shelved after the drama surrounding the beginning of the second season.

Gabriella is very fucking annoying and not in a character way but in a ‘she’s terribly written’ way. She’s flat as fuck and one note as fuck and I don’t want to hear how it’s because we’re only seeing her through Lestat’s eyes or whatever the excuse of the week is because we’ve had MALE antagonists in the past who have a fraction of the screen time but still more personality and depth. Tom fucking Anderson was more well rounded

I have little hope that the writing for women is going to improve in this season but the writers need to get their fucking act together for season 4 and what and WHO comes next. They’re going to have a lot of women in this world soon so they better start learning how to fucking write them

I'm broken. I've always known it but I've ignored it. I just feel fragile like I could shatter at any moment.

Everyone hurts us, and I feel the pain. I get close to people and it gets me hurt. Makes me spiral and feel like I did something wrong that is unfixable

I know I'm to broken to love, to unstable and fragile to have a real relationship.

But sometimes I wish I wasn't. I wish I could function like a normal person.

I wish I could be loved.
