I didn’t even know I had a weird spam post blogged on here (probably by some bot) for about a week. Maybe I should actually stop staring only at the dashboard, and just click a little to the right a bit more often, just to catch when these things happen.
Guess I’m really glad I paid attention that day in internet safety class day to not have the same password for everything <:3c
And all it makes me feel is how cool it would be if a tabletop RPG could seriously be designed for it. iirc, there were some folk on plus4 working on it months ago, trying to figure out how it would work, but I don’t know how far it ever kicked off.
Okay so Hussie is kind of making it into a bigger drama fest than it needs to be, in my opinion.
I love this post. Especially this bit,
It’s just dumb and childish to keep skirting around the issue in some attempt to either make people happy or keep ‘integrity.
I mentally cringed when Hussie gave his fans “permission” to imagine and read his characters however they wanted. Some folk consider this generous for some reason (I suppose not having an interpretation outright dismissed or derided is a plus?), but I wouldn’t be side-eyeing Hussie’s recent posts so much if he stopped trying to say race is a non-issue simply because he doesn’t think it is, and especially if he stopped trying to play “pin the tail on the racist. it sure ain’t me u guise. DEFLECT! DEFLECT!”
And why is it that if someone can only read a character, or all of them, as specifically white is it then racist? Of course a “white personality and lifestyle” isn’t exclusive to caucasians, but it just feels so disingenuous to imply it so passively. May as well pull a J.K. Rowling and never canonize how apparently progressive they are.
Actually.
This whole thing reminds me of the animes to be honest. Like how the stereotypical character design that looks nothing like real person can be seen as Japanese, or caucasian, or whatever depending on who you talk to, and likely where they’re from. Yet the way these characters tend to be written, thanks to cultural cues and nuances, it’s not far from the truth to believe even an alien space princess is actually Japanese, but it’s still fair to say she comes across as a white American.
Been craving scones all week, and I only had enough flour to make a single batch.
It’s okay though.
I will get fat on this batch in order to weather the weather to make a trip to the grocery store for more flour.
How To Train Your…
I am now believing that this is a most excellent crossover that needs to be written.
This is the Co-Main character in my upcoming superhero comic Claire the Flare.
Her names Bulldozer, or BD for short. Her real name is Bethany Doland, she is 65 years old and has superstrength! And yeah, she can kick your butt.
Older lady. Muscles. Older lady with muscles. Older lady superhero.
This is hitting all of the things I like, and also the type of character variety I’d love to see more of in general.

(the first time i saw this clip, i could have sworn that was what i heard)
I have no Walking Dead until February, so I don’t have much to watch this Sunday or the next. And if Once Upon a Time continues to be a terribly executed idea, I’ll have to drop it from my watch list :’(
For now I have to settle for Neverland, which the trailers have basically made me think it’s some kind of Hook/Peter pre-slash. That’s a plus.
Bob Hoskins is also in it. MEGA plus.
The only reason I watch Once Upon a Time is to enjoy the sexual tension between Regina and Emma. It’s there, I know it, and no one can convince me otherwise.
The rest is just filler for an otherwise boring show.
GOD why aren’t Henry’s two moms on screen yet half an hour in.
I’m just gonna point folks to this handy list next time I get tired of defining things over and over and…
About Silencio!
