i DO believe that a good writer can make mischaracterization work. oh there's a character who doesn't normally cry? figure it out!! dissect the character. make the situation cryable for them. make that character cry ugly tears even if it goes against their very nature. YOU CAN MAKE IT WORK!!!

TRUE! Just know that the only reason you've never seen me do this is because I'm nice :)
people on here are always saying “we NEED a story where the art of storytelling is abandoned” like ugh literary devices are soo annoying like that wouldn’t happen in real life that only happened to further the story (why is there story in my story) why would orpheus turn around when he was explicitly told not to why would icarus fly so close to the sun romeo&juliet catcher in the rye why are they so earnest why pour your heart and soul into anything why bother why cant all art be quippy logical monotony like my marvel movies there’s a void in my heart bc i refused to fill it and the curtains were blue
“i hate poetry its so pretentious” but then you reblog a quote or a throwaway line and say “why does this go so hard” you are desperate for poetry you are starved for it and u dont even realise you’re hungry
For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.
Happy pride month to her and her exclusively
she made a comic about the experience on twitter
happy pride
An Update from back in October I'm surprised wasn't added to this post. lol
huge fan of when characters love each other and are closely bonded in an explicitly nonromantic way. however ☝️ i am very much not a huge fan of what happens when characters like this are introduced to fandom
environmental storytelling
I was in a long-term relationship that fell apart partially because I was ace and my partner was very much not, and every time we looked for relationship help we got told that I was the problem. Not just that a significant mismatch in sexual desire could be a problem in a relationship, but that it was My Fault, Specifically, for not being willing to suck it up and have a bunch of sex I didn't want. To my ex's credit, he cared about consent much more than any of the professionals we talked to and refused to pressure me even when my (lesbian, billed as progressive and pro-LGBT) therapist was actively telling him to.
But it meant that we had absolutely no help or support when we were trying to work on the relationship in ways that *did* value my autonomy. There's basically no advice for people who want to try to make a relationship where there's a big desire gap work that isn't "well you should just have sex anyway" or "just break up lol". And that sucks!
Sometimes breaking up is necessary, and that's what ended up happening with us because there were other reasons we worked better as friends, but there *should* be better frameworks for discussing what people want and need that don't automatically assume that one partner's feelings are automatically more important or valuable than the other's.
I was dating someone who wanted to be accommodating and work with me to figure things out but lacked the EQ to do so in any effective way. It was my first relationship and I was still figuring out what being ace meant for me. It’s been eight or nine years, but I still remember very clearly the moment I realized we’d been approaching the entire discussion as if my orientation was the problem to be solved, and that it would be equally as valid to say that hers was.
She was significantly less impressed with this revelation than I was, but I tried to hold on to it ever since (although obviously the real problem wasn’t either one of us, but the mismatch and the lack of tools to deal with it). I think it’s super important to remember that we aren’t the ones in the wrong while our theoretical partners are the ones in the right. I was surprised by how much I’d internalized the assumption and I don’t think I’m the only one.
The other frustrating aspect of this is allo relationships will often have periods of time where libido does not match (I'm not derailing and this will swing back to asexual people)
Just after giving birth, during a family crisis, during a mental health episode, during health problems, during stressful periods at work
There are a lot of times when one person is horned up and raring to go and the other has no interest
And the solution often presented is that the person who is going through something should just put out because they are the problem instead of like...finding ways to engage in non sexual intimacy to reaffirm closeness
An asexual person is going to get 10x the amount of pressure and blame put on them and no advice on how non-sexual intimacy can help their relationships and if they get that at all it will only be to sell it as a bridge to sex they don't want.
I really hate the selling of intimacy as only equaling or facilitating sex. Intimacy comes in many forms and should be explored more by every couple as a non sexual act. And it the given importance it deserves. In fact I would argue if we as a society put more value on non sexual intimacy more relationships would be happier and healthier
And asexual people would stop getting shit for being themselves.
Love and support trans women forever and ever and ever and ever

i like when fiction treats love as a more complicated force and not something that is inherently pure or redemptive. portray it as flawed and complex as any other human impulse. give me love as prejudice, love as possessive stasis, love as addiction, love as blindness, etc.
at that, i find it disingenuous to frame it as “if the person hurt you they could not have loved you. that is not love.” just not a productive definition of the word to me

Kiki Can Do Baking!
June 14, 2026
Baking is something that brings me alot of joy, so as part of an effort to set help set consistent work schedules for myself and also focus more on the endeavors i care about the most, I've decided to try and dedicate every Sunday to baking something. And then I thought, hey, might as well blog about it!
According to our "holiday every day" calendar, June 14 was Cupcake Day. So I made chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter buttercream frosting (I really just want to call it peanut buttercream)!
The cupcakes turned out quite nice, though i wish they had a stronger chocolate flavor. I'm willing to guess it might just be the quality of my cocoa powder (store brand, and it's a bit old). Still, very yummy even if not very chocolate-y.
I also had an opportunity to do a bit of chemistry, as the recipe called for buttermilk but I didn't have any hand. A splash of white vinegar in a half cup of soy milk turned out to be a perfect substitute!
The frosting gave me quite a bit of trouble. I didn't think it would be too complicated considering it was only four ingredients (peanut butter, powdered sugar, milk, and non-peanut butter). It was going fine until I was supposed to "beat it until light and fluffy" and it just seized up on me and became a big dense mess. I tried adding a skosh more milk to soften it up, but that just made it...a big dense mess covered in milk. Had to throw it out! 😭
Fortunately the second attempt yielded much better results! I've never really piped frosting before and it took a little to get the hang of it, but on the whole I'm very pleased with how it came together.
I've also recently gotten into sourdough! I got a starter from a really neat little local bakery, and once I got it properly set up I used it to make pizza dough for dinner!
I was nervous as hell making this because I was worried I'd somehow fuck it up, but it actually ended up being very straightforward and came together quite nicely! Had a delicious tang to it. I think this will definitely be my go-to pizza dough recipe going forward!
I personally loved Electronic Gaming Monthly saying that 9/11 was the 4th most important event to happen in 2001 for gaming.
Page 28 of this issue talks about games that were delayed and/or were changed to remove the Twin Towers. Near the end it notes that entertainment "often mirrors the hot or cold-war climate of a nation" and how Muslims and Arab-Americans are being attacked.
And also Resident Evil Zero will be Gamecube exclusive and the release of Xbox is being delayed by a week.
not to be mean but you just know that some ships only get popular because of a widespread (and totally ooc) fanon interpretation of one or both characters
