I get in theory why people complain about het ships or whatever, I get wanting to watch queer media I really do, but I guess where y’all lose me is like. I saw some asshole on a post about Sinners complaining it was “hetslop”—this person was specifically doing so while also claiming Remmick was a queer character and thus they were justified in caring more about him than the Black protagonists. which is a whole other disgusting can of worms that has been well addressed by others at this point. but even in the absence of that part of the argument, like, no, i actually don’t think that a hunger for queer stories is an especially good excuse to deride and dismiss a piece of landmark Black filmmaking, especially as a non-Black person. I have a post that’s been going around encouraging folks to engage with more Native stories and characters, and I had someone come onto that post saying in the tags that they’d need these stories to be queer in order to care. and I just think that, you know, sucks! like obviously as a queer Native I also want to see more of those stories too. but idk how else to put it other than to say that Black people and people of color shouldn’t have to be like you in order for you to care about our narratives and experiences. and I think some of y’all are using this disdain for heterosexuality as a cover for your unexamined racial biases. it’s not okay to be racist to people just because those people happen to be straight, and you continue to be white before you are queer.

[ndnbutch]

on an even more basic level than that, also, I simply just think some of y’all NEED to learn how to interact with media and storytelling without ships and fandom in mind. like if not being able to write fic about two men kissing is genuinely going to be a dealbreaker for you I think that’s actually something you need to work on within yourself because at that point I think you’re no longer really interacting with art and themes and narrative so much as just kind of playing with toys. which is, like, fine I guess. have fun. but it wouldn’t kill you to disengage from that from time to time. especially if would allow you to actually appreciate rich and deeply moving cultural stories from communities of color that you desperately need to learn how to see as human

Undertale spoilers

:////////////:

I don’t really blame anyone who wants to keep their True Pacifist ending, or who don’t even want to think about the genocide route, but I do think there’s something beautiful in it that’s worth exploration beyond ‘woah epic boss battles.’ I think a big part of the games themes rely on the struggle between empathy and determination, how in a world where you *can* do anything, the question becomes whether or not you *should.* TP is a tough route to take on, but emotionally and narratively I found it kind of easy. It’s easy to be determined when you marry that feeling to being right.

But geno is the route that I think actually tests a player’s determination, where the game’s interrogates you out of what you want from the story and why. It’s pitting the two best parts of us as humans, our ability to push through awfulness and our ability to see others as worthy of respect and consideration, against each other. And it asks us which one we value more as individuals and from our stories.

To be clear, I don’t think the beauty comes from *completing* a genocide run. In a lot of ways I think abandoned Geno —> TP is one of the most narratively satisfying ways to end a game. I just think that it’s the struggle and seeing it play out on screen that I believe makes the game such an instant classic.

This took too much time.

They got married :D

It's interesting how the Knight/Ghost has a way of securing their nail on their back when they're not using it, but Hornet is always holding her needle.

I'm sure this says something about their respective characters, but I can't quite put the essay together

No pockets :(
