it's crazy how once you notice how literally everything centres men all the time you will never be able to enjoy anything properly ever again

[dykieran]

this show is about men this movie is about men this game is meant to be played as a man these characters are men so they're intrinsically more likeable than their bitchy women counterparts this show is about women but they're all for men to look at this movie is about a woman but there's a guy there as well to make it more palatable for General Audience (men) this fandom is all about this one man what do you mean you don't like men. what about this man you must like him!!! he's like a woman to me! and by that i mean i headcanon him as a trans man because im #queeringit and him being a trans man basically means Woman Lite right? so i basically do care about women! and going on e makes you like men and going on t makes you like men and being a lesbian means you still have to have a himbo man friend and you HAVE to read this book! it's about a man

the funniest part of seeing someone start reading through asoiaf is watching them organically land on asking "why doesn't everybody just... destroy the iron islands"

this comment on the star detective precure transformation sequence is so unhinged people get so mad when a girl makes any sort of expression at all

[porcelain-dollbones]

these are the "unnecessary mean expressions" they are referring to btw

i stream the new episode weekly for several friends and every time the henshin starts we gasp "the bad brats???" and when the sequence gets to this moment we all excitedly shout "on my way to do A LOT of harm to civilians"

there are many people who like to walk into a ttrpg having invented a blorbo in their mind and have the ttrpg to give them the tools to realize that blorbo and all the best to them i am so thoroughly not one of those people. give me a playbook that prescribes a very specific narrative role. give me a pregen character i have to play as. give me a dozen big stupid tables to roll up a guy on. give me some god damn lifepaths !

[txttletale]

cast me as though in a play and then allow me the tools to make the role my own!

[natoapologistblocker]

I love games that let me make a blorbo, the most blorbo-friendly in my experience being games like Chronicles of Darkness/Vampire: The Masquerade/anything by White Wolf Publishing really, but the problem with blorbo-based chargen is that some people really play only one kind of blorbo, and the game allows them to make that same blorbo over and over, so you end up with no variety whatsoever. And I know this is easily solved by “play with other people,” but really, when your only choice for TTRPG mates is strangers online, it doesn’t work that way. But on the other hand, playbook/narrative-style games like PbtA can feel too deterministic sometimes. Honestly, the sweet spot is something in between: a life-path-style chargen with a portion of the character being built manually, à la The Witcher

[meshugenist]

also blorbism tends to result in characters who are partially or wholly disconnected from the setting, making roleplay miserably difficult and stilited

[natoapologistblocker]

This is very true. This usually happens when someone has a blorbo they've been obsessed with for a while and saw the game as an opportunity to plug them in with no regard for plot or context

im so tired of horror youtube man

dont trace reference images. dont even LOOK at reference images. in fact, don't ever look at anything that exists in the world, in person or in photos or in videos, even when you're not drawing, because you will still be able to use the memories of what something looks like as a reference when you're drawing it later. yes that includes yourself. destroy all the mirrors in your house. don't look down at your hands or feet. don't look. close your eyes. close them tight. forget everything. it's okay, embrace the darkness. just forget.

[txttletale]

at some point it became a very common talking point that science fiction and fantasy ought to Represent Trans People and that exploring Weird Gender Shit without also depicting characters who are legibly transgender in Normal Ways is passé. and honestlyyyy i don't care give me a hundred more male characters possessed by female ghosts or nonbinary robots or whatever. literally what is the point of the scifi fantasy genre if you cannot connect to the fantastical

[txttletale]

if i wanted to read about people being transgender without a wizard being involved i would open my tumblr dash. Representation will kill the reader she needs a guy who accidentally downloaded the memories of a woman on the CyberLine and can't tell them apart from his own to live

If no one likes my post, I kill it. I’ll probably put this one down later too. It’s a cruel world.

new vampiyah, Clara, the 1450s watcher salubri. my lovely angry little lady

basic gist is she was born to a wealthy family in verona, and as smart and well-read as she was, she dug her heel into one too many people's foot to be considered suitable for marriage. she joined a convent, and somehow got more argumentative and temperamental. since being embraced and going through some *events*, she's moved to venice to aid in the anarch revolts.
