i bring more women kissing to your TL

an illustration by Spindle of the characters Asimov (on the right), a half-elf with white hair tied up in a bun, and wearing a blue dress (with yellow accents and a red stripe on the bottom), sitting and kissing Ottilie (on the left), a human with short brown hair tied up in a small bun, wearing a green cardigan (with orange circles print, and white trim), white underwear, and black thighhighs (appearing green due to the tones of the art). She's in front of Asi and leaning on her, kissing back. The kiss is tongue-style

Excellent, thank you. Truly doing god's work.

Now to wait an hour and a chunk for daily reset so I can do the Reliquary again, get that achievement, and be done with Siren's Landing.

Sorin: *makes a promise*
Sorin: *breaks promise*
Nahiri: "What the fuck, bro"
Sorin: *locks her up for a thousand years about it*
Nahiri: *is upset*
Sorin: "See, the real victim here is men."

There's definitely nuance to 'X did nothing wrong', because yes definitely, Nahiri was absolutely dicked over, first by Sorin, and then by the writers portraying her the way they did.

But also half the Warcraft fanbase insists that Garrosh 'Literally Orc Hitler' Hellscream "did nothing wrong".

No you see he's a hot brooding vampire guy. Those can't ever be anything but precious misunderstood baby meow meows!

(I may or may not be venting about the Astarion fandom here)

Sadly, we don't live in a world where 'designer vagina' *could* have that connotation. We live in one that likes to make trans women feel like they're monsters for trying to exist.

I think it's funny that this cover for Tempest Rising makes the lady in the back look like she's the main villain or something.

This is Lt. Jelena Melnik. She's your ops officer if you play the Dynasty campaign. Gives your intel. Believes in the cause, but mostly there to do her job. Nice lady.

I *hate* the term 'designer vagina'. Makes it sound like a luxury purchase, rather than a barrier many trans people have to overcome before they can start living a happy life.

I didn't spend two weeks before my surgery in a state of constant anxiety, and three months after in agony for a luxury.

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men.
Studio executives, so many people.
After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her.
What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill

I'm not saying Amy Chen is why I'm trans but I'm not saying she's innocent either.

You ever try to sleep but suddenly you're thinking about how as a kid you went to visit your bestie and played Time Splitters Future Perfect together but they were player 1 so you played the supporting characters and two of those were women which you were okay with for reasons beyond you at the time

I can't believe they somehow found an angle that's even less flattering than an all the other angles.
