there's something so good about a character who hasn't had enough comfort and warmth in their life and now has weird complicated kinda sexual feelings about being treated with actual basic respect and dignity and they feel like an awful gross pervert for it. i like those wires getting crossed

My mind is all a mess just thinking about Kana6 I cant even form a proper rant omg

There was just so many things that made me so emotional that it overpowers my logic side of my brain

First of all THE 4KOMA!? THAT- AHRHR3IEHRBFB it perfectly captured how Kanade values her mom so much, and also that Kanamom thought Kanade so many things that she still holds to her heart god it kills me

Another thing is that KANAGRANNY IS OFFICIALLY THE BEST SIDE CHARACTER IN THE WHOLE GAME! HER AND KANAMOM BOTH WISHING FOR THE SAME THING OMG IT KILLS ME

ALSO THE CARDS HELLO!? BEAUTIFUL OMG THE BEST KANADE CARD SET EVER!! THE THEME, THE COLORS, THE SYMBOLISM!? ITS JUST AHDHDUDHD

God- also Kanade admitting that she's afraid to loose Niigo and that she cares so much about them, also probably one of the reason as to why she's so hesitant to think about her own future, about what happens next when she finally saves Mafuyu only wanting to focus on the present for now and using her usual excuse to push away her own feelings (hmm that sounds very simillar dont you think so as well?... almost like how Mizuki in the very beginning of the game was so hesitant to tell her secret because she was afraid of loosing n25, only focusing on the present and only recently having discovered what she wants to do in the future)

Kanade is afraid. Afterall what good is a savior when there is nothing there left to save, she said it herself that once she saved Mafuyu, she'll probably go back to how things were before she met all of them, yet we can see that when she thought about it, she felt.. cold. A furthur proof that she got attached to them

Also the fact that this event focused more on her, her doubts and problems despite her not acknowledging it herself and wants to focus more on Mafuyu just keeps hinting furthur that her "illusion" is starting to crack.

She's afraid of loosing her place. Almost like how all of them stated that Mafumom and Mafuyu are both afraid to loose their place as family

(This probably doesn't make much sense cause god my mind is a mess)

When trans women are mocked and made into jokes in the media, I get very upset, and I am often told “Kay, you can’t go through life getting offended every time someone makes a joke.” And I sputter and object but they don’t hear me. So I want to be clear for once, about why the jokes make me angry.

I learned to hate myself for being transgender before I knew I was transgender. I laughed at the jokes in stand up comedy routines, and prime time sitcoms, and animated comedy shows, and in the movies, and in books, and in games, laughing at trans women for existing, about “men in dresses”, about people who “got their dicks chopped off”, and I learned to think that was worthy of ridicule.

And then a day came when I felt a pang of envy at what my female classmates were wearing and I repressed it, and felt guilty, and a day where I felt incomplete because I had no breasts and I repressed it and I felt disgusting And a day when I realized the only images of romance that made me feel anything showed two women together and I repressed it and I felt like a monster And a day when I realized I felt sick when I looked at myself in the mirror after every shower before work and couldn’t bear to look at my own face, and I hated myself. And then there came a day when I hated myself so much, and I thought I could never understand why, and so I just wanted it all to end. And it was just a miracle that I swerved my car back into my lane in time.

And all of it started with a joke that I heard on TV, and then kept hearing from all the voices from the ether, over and over and over, worming an idea into my mind before I was old enough to realize I was absorbing it, the idea that a man in a dress is funny, and that changing your body parts makes you a freak, and that women who have penises instead of vaginas are liars and hurt men. And they’re still making these jokes. And somewhere out there right now, just like all those years ago, there is a little girl in a t-shirt and cargo shorts with buzzed off hair watching the TV, hearing that joke and absorbing it without knowing it, who will someday have to pry herself apart to tear it out of her head, just like I did.

That is, if she doesn’t kill herself first.

I know this is a really heavy post but if you read it and you appreciated it, I’d appreciate it in return if you reblogged it. This is really important to me and I want people to read it and understand it. Thank you.

being told i have to drop a course to leave room for my final-year project 😭

disclaimer: short stories lit/writing is a lot of work (and i like my "no beta we die like men" ficlets tyvm), masculinity studies already has a lot of writing, queer studies has open-note exams and requires paying attention in class; the latter courses require more reflective thinking. (course scheduling/timing is a whole other issue.)
(* parental pressure to get a good grade in project for postgrad's sake, is not allowed to take a gap year or a taught postgrad degree)
(i can technically also drop conservation bio and/or intro to environmental science, but majoring in bio = i want to keep those around, and i need to take at least 3 courses in general for semester requirements)

fantasy is when currency is referred to as "gold" and sci fi is when currency is referred to as "credits"

I've been thinking about some headcanons of Sonic and Tail's younger years, I like the idea that Uncle chuck had been around for Sonic from infancy and raised him until he unfortunetly passed when Sonic was 11. Then having thorough abandoment issues but doing a spectacular job of not showing it Sonic latches on to the first other abandoned person he meets which is Tails, who has a whole other heep of issue from being deemed a freak cuz of his twin tails and scary development of intelligence.

Tails really thought this hyperactive speedster hedgehog was gonna leave him and then suddenly its 5 years later and they're pratically inseperable
