Just want to appreciate this angry, scared, feral, Losing It™ look without thinking about what is about to happen in front of him…

#seriously though this scene was the most powerful in terms of how incredibly well Xiao Zhan played Wei Wuxian #he’s feral and losing what fragile control he managed to scrape back #because that bastard is standing between him and his family #and wei wuxian has always done everything short of directly killing himself for his family #but because of what happened that day in that place#his path could never lead anywhere but the cliffs of nightless #this is the moment wei wuxian died #it just took his body a while to catch up (via it-begins-with-rain)

#wwx#the scene in nightless where he gets shot in the chest and just looks down at the arrow..#he doesnt have a core to make him more durable that really should’ve killed him#but..necromancer animating his own corpse#hes dead already his body just has yet to catch up  (via @niehuaisangsfan)

i’m gonna repeat this until the end of time but BEST translation of wei wuxian surviving all the shit he managed to live through is because he’s a necromancer animating his own corpse

I’m having a re-read of Pratchett books, because it’s been too long. About a decade and a half too long, actually.  And so, Men At Arms… If you recall, the issue is that ‘dwarves don’t really have genders’. Except it’s more like ‘you can be any gender you like as long as it’s male’ and ‘you can do everything the men do as long as you only do what the men do’.

Which, you know, is quite a way to put the Problem with Gender.

So Cheery the dwarf goes to the city, with her male pronouns because all dwarves are men, and is encouraged to embrace her femininity by a coworker who isn’t fooled by the beard. By the way, she helps Cheery be as feminine as she likes without insisting she must shave. Or take off the helmet. They’re important, because she’s a dwarf, yes. Intersectionality explained via fictional humanoid species, hello. 

The support is gentle and matter-of-factly. Paraphrasing: ‘when one finally decides to shout out to the world about who they really are, it’s comforting to know they can do it in a whisper’

Because yes thank fuck for allies who just say ‘Okay. How do I help?’ and don’t demand that you prove yourself dramatically.

So I am reading Cheery’s ‘coming out’ as something rather more relevant right now, and very much appreciative of Pterry’s ability to write it that way. 

Thing is, I wouldn’t put it past him, but I can’t actually say if he had any trans or similar real life thing in mind when he wrote this. It seems like you could write it TODAY and have it considered a revelation of progressive metaphor.

But it’s even better this way? Because it doesn’t matter, he’s just writing from the idea that Cheery is due respect and acceptance and that’s it. That’s literally all it is. 

He’s writing, as always, that a person deserves respect. And people who can’t understand that may, to paraphrase again, ‘have a problem with their heads. they may have them stuck up their bums.’

group chats with people who aren't your friends are so stressful every time i send a message i have to triple check it to make sure it was what i meant something normal like "yea i can make the dinner" or "that's so funny" and not an accidental misstext like an itemized list with links of all the porn ive consumed in my entire life + a suicide note + a love confession
