My name is Lily and I am a gay nerd who gets obsessed with fictional characters.
She/Her or They/Them pronouns please and thank you. Other pages will be made when I have the motivation.
Kit and Yuyu are my aromates and I love them so so much and also they are much more interesting to follow than I am so I would recommend you do that and also Micha is my girlfriend and probably someday my wife and I love her a whole bunch and you should follow her too!
Just so everyone is aware, the comments on the original video are all from ppl in Korea warning everyone about this guy. He harasses female fans and filters his comments to hide it. He’s counting on foreigners not knowing who he is to get his revenue.
it’s so good that touhou lost word has a player character but the game outright tells you “the player character is female. (this cannot be changed.)” absolutely brilliant move
In Super Mario Sunshine, the fourth episode of Sirena Beach includes a secret course at the end that contains walls with square holes in them. If Mario stands in one of these holes for several seconds, he will suddenly die.
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, there are light fixtures above the entrances to buildings in Fahr Outpost. They are small and relatively far away from the camera, not allowing a closer look at the texture. However, upon zooming in, it is revealed that the lightbulbs use a wooden texture (the same as some of the other wooden objects in the town), likely because that was the most readily available yellow texture for the object designers to use.
me: i just want to watch my favorite shows and movies for free instead of giving my money to like 10 different multi million dollar streaming corporations
the site i’m streaming it from every time i click on literally anything:
Not gonna lie, given that we live in a culture that valorises the willingness to labour without expectation of reward and the stoic acceptance of one’s own death as a necessary sacrifice for the greater good as two of its chief heroic virtues, this whole business of rhapsodising folks who’ve been economically coerced into working dangerous jobs during a pandemic as “heroes” is feeling pretty damn sinister.
Like, it’s not just the emptiness of the gesture – it’s that the situation is very specifically being framed in such a way that any “essential worker” who displays reluctance to put themselves in danger or interest in actually getting paid for the hazardous duties they’re being made to undertake is committing treason against the heroic ideal – and, of course, those who betray the ideals of heroism are the worst sort of villain. It’s basically a rhetorical framework that allows us to hail essential workers as a group as brave heroes, while simultaneously treating essential works as individuals as cowardly scoundrels who deserve to suffer.
You can saying “Fascist” if you want.
Because the “seeking death” and “villainizing anyone unwilling to put their life on the line for the country” thing is literally one of the only things most fascist ideologies share.
Mm. The contemporary resurgence of Fascism definitely has a lot to do with how widespread this sort of thinking is, but let’s not go pretending it’s unique to Fascism. The basic catch-22 of “you’re a hero if you willingly face this peril, but if you don’t you’re a traitor, and the just punishment for treason is being forcibly subjected to the exact same peril whose refusal branded you a villain” is something that crops up in a lot of ideologies, including many ostensibly progressive ones. We don’t get to pre-emptively absolve ourselves just because our politics are anywhere to the left of Hitler’s.
