it's good to remember that fiona apple said "no hope for women" in a moment of distress when she was young. later on, she said "there is hope for women. we are the hope"

i get why the “i was born gay” line became a thing but on a personal and ontological level its stupid as fuck, its now become counterproductive and essentializing, it is undialectical and it should be retired

[bluerotundas]

It’s so funny to me how straight people treat homosexuality as some intellectual exercise... sorry that my innate sexuality isn’t convenient for your postmodern self-identified consciousness or whatever but “personally and ontologically” i understand myself to be born homosexual and i experience homosexuality as an innate part of my being that was not influenced by any outside factors. throughout history, gay people have understood our sexualities as an innate part of our existence. “Personally and ontologically,” this is consistent with my belief that homosexuality is a natural, morally neutral biological variation that occurs in human beings. “Personally and ontologically,” this is consistent with my first-hand experience that my sexuality cannot be persuaded, changed, altered, unlearned or “unpacked.” “Personally and ontologically,” I find it most accurate to say that I was born gay just as I was born female and born human and I will die that way and nothing in between my birth and death can change those immutable facts about me. The fact is, the only people who find the idea of innate (homo)sexuality “counterproductive” or “essentialist” are those with the goal of changing or delegitimizing homosexuality, of moralizing it, of diminishing it, of legislating it, of eradicating it. I don’t give a shit if some homophobic straight person finds these facts of my being to be “undialectical” honestly this shit is the most vile navel gazing self important STRAIGHT ASS HOMOPHOBIC bullshit I’ve ever read and you should be humiliated that you made this post.

[im-not-an-object-ok]

Straight people act like there's some Secret Gay Conspiracy where we just pretend that we're born gay so the homophobes will feel bad for us or whatever.

Being gay is a natural occurrence, die mad about it op

Reasons that Ubisoft should remaster the first assassin’s Creed game

1 most people want to start a game series with the first game

2 currently the first game is essentially the hardest not due to actual programming but glitches

3 people who want to start the game series may not own an Xbox 360 and are unlikely to want to purchase a second game system to play the game

4 Altair is a beloved character

5 the plot is actually amazing especially considering that it was created in 2007

6 Altair is the only assassin that can bitch slap somebody to death

7 I NEED to see Malik calling Altair a novice in HD

there is not a single person whose mother tongue is actual Latin and yet Harry Potter is trasnslated in Latin… like I’m sure it was just linguists and translators wanting to try something new and fun but like it fascinates me!? like I imagine the pope with his feet on the table, crossed, cup of tea in one hand, the philosopher’s stone in the other…

DO NOT INTERACT WITH @/ACADEMIQUEWILDE

Also known as Fá or Fatih. A Turkish self-proclaiming asexual from the Netherlands who used to run the study discord “Montuosa Academia”. 

[CW: sexual abuse, predatory behavior, use of guilt-tripping to force consent, unusual kinks]

This user has been sexually messaging users in order to exchange payment for pictures of shoes and socks, or just pictures of your feet. If you say no, he continues with coercive attempts to force a ‘yes’. He knowingly interacts and requests these pictures from people below the age of 18, and becomes extremely sexually specific on what exactly he would be doing when viewing these pictures. Part of this kink is wanting to be “exposed” (on his terms) and degraded, so not having consent seems to be exactly what he wants. He has also expressed anti-Semitic rhetoric, frequent love-bombing between bouts of toxic behavior, and deleted his server Montuosa Academia because nobody replied to an attention-seeking apology for 30 minutes. We encourage you to block this individual and reblog this post in order to spread awareness. 

More is documented here (with screenshots): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Onh1PHGFIVssFL3eA6qH_E_L2HxtdJovEQ_mGwU0gGI/edit?usp=sharing

This is not just “tumblr drama”, he has met with several people IRL and has been attempting to meet with even more. According to him, he even admits that people in real life find him uncomfortable to be around. He is a genuine sexual predator and I would suggest not interacting with him. 

If you want more information or you would life to get in contact with old members from Montuosa Academia, please message either seosaimhín#5056 or ladyassassin#7787 on Discord, or message this Tumblr. Stay safe guys.

PLEASE DO NOT INTERACT OR ENGAGE IN WITCH-HUNTING WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL. WE ARE SHARING THE INFORMATION SO HE CAN’T HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO HARASS MORE PEOPLE, BUT WE URGE YOU TO JUST BLOCK AND MOVE ON.

It Lives Within: First Look Teaser Video!! 😱😱

Signal boosts and reblogs are greatly appreciated! Additional questions and comments are under the cut.

Q: Will we be able to choose our character's name or do we have to be named Rowan?

A: You will be able to choose your character's first name, last name, and a nickname! Rowan is just the default name that we use, like Devon and Harper.

Q: And we'll get to customize our MC as well?

A: Yes! We have a fully functioning character customization sequence, which I used to make this MC. Eventually, we want to do a full MC reveal, but for the demo we just chose one of our gorgeous MCs and dressed her to show off the outfits and accessories we've added.

Q: We can play as a guy, right?

A: Yep, and you'll be able to choose your pronouns.

Q: What was that part around 2:56 when it seemed to rewind?

A: I wanted to show that the choice buttons are fully functioning, so I went back to show the different outcomes. No, you will not be able to rewind in the actual game. That's a programmer's privilege 😉

Q: Where will this be released again?

A: Itch.io! We'll do all we can to make it playable online, and will probably also provide download options as well.

Q: Will you be using original soundtracks or just the Choices OST?

A: We'll be using both. We have multiple original tracks prepared, but I haven't had time to write new ones to fit the particular moods of this sequence. So we used the Choices OST and it works great!

Q: What impact will the choices have in this book?

A: Your choices will impact nerve scores, relationship scores, whether or not you find lore docs and collectibles, personality, and the final outcomes—particularly regarding who lives and who dies 😶 In fact, in this opening sequence, the right choice will result in nerve gain. I just haven’t programmed the nerve scoring system yet. This is a demo after all 😅

Q: When does this scene happen?

A: This is from the very beginning! We figured starting right off the bat would result in the least amount of spoilers 😌

If you have any other questions or comments feel free to peruse the FAQ section! If your question isn’t answered, send us an ask!

blessed interaction

[gendercritics]

i’m so tired of the sentiment that we are “in” our bodies. you’re not piloting anything, you’re not a soul inside a vessel, you are your body. “feeling comfortable in your body” as if it’s a space to occupy instead of you?? there’s no “being born in the wrong body,” because you aren’t anything at all without your body. it’s really a religious way of thinking, far removed from science (both material and sociological), which is more “you are what you are due to external and internal factors.”

there’s a post i saw recently that said that cosmetic surgery creates a fragmented sense of the self, and this is really just an extension of that. we are so deep into the patriarchy/makeup culture/capitalism that we see bodies as something to maintain, or improve, or correct. personally, i became a much happier person when i started being able to let go of the anxiety around how i look without altering myself with makeup, shaving, or considering surgery. my body, my face isn’t a shell for my spirit, i’m not a different person when i wear a ball gown vs. sweatpants. neither one of them is better or worse than the other and neither one of them changes me as a person.
