Meeting your idol
Heavenly Father, when the weight of the world feels too much, help me remember that You carry it all with ease. Teach me to rest in You. Amen.
Boy do I get the feeling
"why can't they just be friends?" but not in the homophobic way, in the "the fandom claims a show/book/movie that has open queer characters and relationships is queerbaiting because their favorite ship isn't canon and I'm sick and tired of it" way
I shouldn’t have to explain this but apparently i have to cause tumblr likes being tumblr
Naotos desire to be a man doesn’t stem from internalized transphobia it stems from her desire to be taken seriously in a male dominated workspace and none of this is my interpretation this is information the game literally gives us ourselves
And saying that she is “struggling with internalized transphobia” because a trans person can “see it” doesn’t mean it automatically becomes canon
Now does this mean trans people can’t relate to any of naotos struggles no of course not in fact it’s understandable for trans people to relate to her struggles however disregarding the entire reasons why she wanted to become a man and the point her arc was trying to make in place of the headcanon you project onto her character is frustrating
Kamen goes into this subject better than I can
seeing trans naoto discourse on twitter has made me realise how many cis persona fans are just oblivious because they’ll say he’s a woman under the guise of ‘he says it in the game’ and say that people calling him trans haven’t played the game but literally every trans person can see that he is struggling with a LOT of internalised transphobia. and sure maybe that wasn’t the writer’s intentions with him but thats how a lot of us see him because we’ve been through it ourselves. we see ourselves in this character and maybe it’s just ignorance on a lot of cis people’s part (which i can’t exactly blame them for) but some people get so horribly transphobic about it and its unnecessary
SEES go somewhere look how happy they are
After seeing the reactions to the script Changes in sxsg alongside the hate for Ian Flynn I’m convinced this fandom has rocks for brains
“It’ll be interesting seeing all the people joining Sonic Frontiers experiencing Ian Flynn’s writing and experiencing the people who think he can do no wrong.” Ian Flynn’s the best writer Sonic has had officially in a long goddamn time and it drives me nuts how people have this ridiculous hate boner against him for things that are 90% decisions that someone above him forced onto him (Archie Editorial and now SEGA themselves) and 10% things he himself admits he failed at as if he’s someone with Penders’ level of ego.
