what is it with Deltarune setting my maternal instincts off like CRAZY every couple chapters? first it was Lancer and now there’s Aqua. I’m gonna cry

have you seen it?

now you have!

It's really quite shocking just how much of my writing style was shaped by Animorphs and Animorphs specifically.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

"Wow Derin the way you pendulum swing between horror and humour and pepper banter in with the really desperate action is" yeah that's from Animorphs. "You have a real focus on group dynamics and the interpersonal relationships between the protagonists are so central" Animorphs again. "Your near-obsessive focus on metamorphosis and how straightforwardly you describe biological gore makes it really visceral" you should read Animorphs. "Derin why are your characters constantly eating each other" let me introduce you to a fun children's scifi series called Animorphs.

I confess that after the first tweet my mind automatically went to the notion that the orc would be hired as a gym teacher. perhaps I have some deep thinking to do

god forbid Black women have fun

[gothhabiba]

Black woman invents or popularises a phrase -> it enters the vernacular and circulates widely amongst Black and nonblack people -> people removed from the phrase's initial context read it too literally, do not interpret it with sensitivity, assume that the ideas expressed when people use it are shallow / "over"-sexualised / problematic in some way or another that mirrors their feelings about Black people as a whole -> there is a backlash where a supposedly more 'thoughtful,' 'subversive,' etc. alternative to the initial phrase is offered, implying that the initial phrase contained none of that complexity within it to begin with -> rinse & repeat

can I fucking help you, my liege

[ouroborosorder]

this fucking sucks. I got soul-bonded to a living weapon who takes the form of a beautiful girl. But she has no fucking joie de vivre about it. I keep trying to do combined dramatic attack cries but she’s all like. “No that’s embarrassing” and “just kill him, don’t waste time.” she won’t even let me name her finishing move. I think she only has a finishing move because it’s just a reliable path of least resistance. This fucking sucks

[nongunktional]

i do think the negative interpretations of "im probably nonbinary but i have a job right now" are kind of reaching. it's obviously a waste of time to theorize the op's intended meaning, so instead i think it's better to recognize how the phrase can be a useful framing device to criticize how much of a fucking hassle it is to get gendered correctly. "but i have a job" e.g. will face discrimination that could threaten livelihood; e.g. don't have the mental bandwidth to explain gender to others; e.g. don't have the time and energy for the soul-searching necessary to confirm. all three of these are labor issues. yes you could interpret it as "but being nonbinary isn't important enough to worry about", despite that being a blatantly bad-faith read. it's more useful to interpret it as "but being publicly nonbinary requires a lot of social effort that, in many cultural contexts, will create more problems that you can't afford to deal with". like cmon it's a really good jumping off point for productive conversations about queer labor rights

You are stuck as a soldier in this historical war

(this is a magical universe where people who wouldn't usually be able to fight would. so you can all suffer.)

How are you doing?

good somehow

not to be mean but it’s always kind of funny when someone voices a complaint along the lines of “I went to the movie theater to see a popular children’s’ movie and there were too many children in the theater.” it’s a shame there’s literally no way to understand what could have lead to this outcome

this guy doesn't even know his gunk from his slime. if he was a true slimehead instead of some two-ounce solvent jockey off the street, he'd know sludge at a glance.

[gandalfsbignaturals]

learning to notice an absence of people of color is crazy. you start seeing it everywhere. ill see a random pic of characters or people or whatever and be like "these are all white people. why"

[gandalfsbignaturals]

all the babies in those baby youtube video memes. humanized character posts. like. its the little innocent shit. and like, the people making those baby memes probably arent seeking out white babies. maybe theyre just easier to find. but why are they easier to find? a complicated question, surely... but you know what it probably comes down to. someone, somewhere, maybe a lot of someones in a lot of places, made a choice. maybe knowingly, maybe not. but they made a choice. it starts to make you feel like a conspiracy theorist!!

[gandalfsbignaturals]

its really funny that after 2 months this post is still making racists come into my askbox treating me like im a horrible person for pointing out that sometimes people of color are excluded from things in visible and offputting ways. cry about it
