~*~So Said the Stars~*~ Update 3

This game starts immediately after the ending of Halfway to Infinity and lets you lead both Taylor and T2 to some definition of home, hopefully, whatever you three define it to be.

sosaidthestars.neocities.org ^^^ That's the game!

I’d love to hear your thoughts and any bugs that you find! The game will have one more update, once I learn how to do some intricate coding so you can have a conversation/debate with Taylor and T2. There are audio issues with the autoplay that I'm aware of but I haven't found a way to fix them. Try restarting your browser if you have any issues and make sure cookies (for saving) and autoplay are enabled.

baja blast sheep have you any wool

Yes sir, yes sir, gamer fuel

nice

“you should be at the club” i should be by the sea. i should be in the mountains. i should be awestruck and rendered speechless by the majesty of the natural world. if you even care

tbh it doesn't rly hurt teenagers to incorrectly id as ace like... what's the worst than could happen? they don't have sex till they're older?? lol

"ohh but it'll take them longer to realize they're actually gay" i know my experiences aren't universal but like. if i wasn't ready to face my lesbianism then i was Not Ready, you could've eliminated every other label in existence and i still wouldn't have accepted it. if anything, the ability to try out different labels helped me learn about myself, explore the community, and accept that maybe not being straight wasn't so bad.

also lots of people identify as bi before realizing they are gay, lots of people identify as gay before realizing they're bi, lots of people identify as gay before realizing they're trans, etc etc etc!!! exploring and getting it wrong is a necessary part of the process!!! why is it so different for aroace identities?????

I finished Minish Cap today

I'm kind of at a point where the "queer spaces" i feel safest in are the ones that have a pet cishet dude or two hanging around

When a space cares a lot about making sure its members are queer enough to participate, you get a space that aggressively polices the queerness of its members. There's no way around that, it's pretty much tautologically true. Only by paradoxically not actually caring if you're queer or not can a group really accept the full range of what queerness can look like.

Also, a space that has room for a cis straight guy who means well and wants the best for his friends has two crucial things going for it.

1) it has space for people who are learning and might fuck up a bit while they figure things out, and that learning process is probably not so godawful and unpleasant that a guy with other prospects would have to be a fool not to go find some nicer friends. This is nice because it is very difficult to personally embody the entire alphabet at once, and learning how to be good allies to one another is a crucial part of queer solidarity. It's nice for that process not to be painful.

2) it has space for people who aren't yet willing to or comfortable with presenting an externally queer label to continue to exist and soak up the queer vibes and information, which means it's welcoming to actual questioning people rather than the theory of questioning people. Probably it therefore has more interest in actually doing things rather than hierarchy politics.

3) it's probably not a radfem tar pit interested in weaponising you against people they've decided to hate in a social smear war that benefits nobody and nothing but their need for a power trip

Furry spaces and other vrchat social subculture spaces are the same. An affirmatively actually good scene will have mostly subculture members, but then also some anime women (or fully combat armored types, or catboys, etc). If I go to a club scene and it’s ALL club scene types, that’s a bad scene; there should be one to three furries there also. Furries, the same; there should be at least one human dude in full, anonymizing tacticool gear, or a couple of lipglossed anime bitches, or some sullen mallgoth kids, or something. just chilling.

Places that are fully one type of person, you have no idea if they’re tolerant or not. When they’re cheerfully tolerating a few outliers, you know.

I used to be part of the good kind of furry group, and losing that was one of the hardest things about moving away. Our group photos included Tacticool Guy, Steampunk Girl, normie parents making friends while chaperoning teenage members, physically disabled group members whose presence dictated where the photos were taken, first attempts at fursuit heads including one or two made of cardboard, and a whole lot of people who looked like any random on the street except that I only ever knew them by fursona name.

And, hilariously, some of them thought I was the token cishet.

leave your laundry on the floor for them

Someone once brought up that valid point in the tags when reblogging that post one day and I felt like being a butt about it, I hope you'll forgive me

(...But also to add on this: I'm not even asking for general audiences media, any mainstream media where sex is present and OK (GOD KNOWS there's a ton of those too) would do to begin with, ohwull)

I brought Minish Cap Link back just so he could best Vaati in Connect Four 🔥

2009 deviantArt artists telling you to fill an entire layer with neon green and place it behind your lineart to check if there's any unwanted stray lines or unfilled pixels were the elderly sages at the end of the spirit path atop a secluded mountaintop you reached just as the sun was setting

dream job is to be that one rotted hand that bursts out of the grave to snatch some stupid idiot by the ankles and pull them under the earth

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this video for weeks, it's bewitched me body and soul.
