When the rwby trailers came out I thought they were masterpieces and I wanted to cosplay Ruby but then the actual show came out and I got through three or four episodes and was so disappointed I couldn’t keep going
Look, i'm shitting on edgelord assimilationists, robot kinnies and people who are sexually attracted to computers are clearly not my target here.
@00dani @AudreyJune wait shit i actually want this, fuck, oh no

“Why don't you write about women? my mother asked me. I don't know how, I said. A stupid answer, but an honest one. I did not know how to write about women - very few of us did - because I thought that what men had written about women was the truth, was the true way to write about women. And I couldn't.”
- Ursula LeGuin, “The Fisherwoman’s Daughter”
someone make a new history series that's just reenacting every time in history colonizers got owned. an episode where captain cook gets murdered set to mama mia. a reenactment of the alamo but santa anna is the good guy and every time a slave owner gets killed it gets faster. custer's last stand but every time a white dude gets killed there's airhorns
@autistikai yeah, but I never shut the fuck up about the overwhelming mono nature of the bourgeoisie happily worked against it, that's kind of a self decaying one as it suits me, all are true
@autistikai WOW, you are such a niche piece of art to ever be for another century. 🇿🇼 😭🚩🚩
the demon with the holy sword
story idea based on some conversation with @vyr
a demon who was sent to corrupt a little outpost of the church finds a paladin who easily saw through her disguise... only to ask her for help with the fact that she's lesbian/trans/both. so they talk (and do more than talk), and live in this uneasy truce. the demon doesn't try to corrupt things *too* much, and the paladin doesn't reveal who she is.
then, one day, the paladin is gone. the demon asks around in her mortal disguise for what happened, and discovers that the paladin's been discovered by the church, shipped off to be 'corrected'/tried/executed.
but, somehow, her sword was left behind. and the demon takes it up, and its enchantments of light yield to her. and the demon reflects on something the paladin told her: that unlike most of the holy swords, hers was special. it only kills monsters. she draws it across the back of her hand, experimentally. no blood.
but oh, does it draw blood from those that stand between her and her journey to rescue the paladin.
but not the paladin herself, during their confrontation. she'd been broken, twisted against herself, made to believe she was a monster that could only find salvation in destruction. but when the demon brings her sword to her neck, nothing happens. not even the slightest scratch. and the demon implores her to *remember*, to remember what they shared, the love they had. to remember that she's not a monster.
and the impossibly-bright halo shatters, the searing armor fades, and the paladin collapses in to the arms of the demon, of the only person who ever truly knew her.
and together, they find their freedom.
a bug, not a feature.
