IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)

On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!

Do you love transgenders?

Do you love communism?

Do you love queer romance?

Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?

Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?

Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?

All of the answers should be: YES I DO ~~or else I WILL BAN YOU~~

Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY

The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists pigmask-off , Zionists hamas-base (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) lenin-dont-laugh in Bosporus, and the monarchs gui-trans of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.

On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union soviet-chad is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain left-unity-4 )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human bridget-disco , Shimmi kbity-how (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran transshork-happy (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.

First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist three-heads-thinking leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home chad-stalin , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. specter

As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...

And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.

Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands

All are Communists steban

All serve the Union USSR

All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism comrade-stoic

but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt

Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?

Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

FIND OUT HERE: https://unjustdepths.com/

please do or else I will pout incessantly

just try it pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase i need to talk to someone about it after Cromalin went AFK

(I miss her, she was a real one)

Finished Nevada yesterday.

Returned the Hannah Arendt book for Who's Afraid of Gender. Which was what I actually wanted but it was under women's studies, instead of philosophy with Judith's other books. This time I asked the attendant if they had it.

Orange book is next on my list.

Do we have a trans media recommendation thread btw? I read the gender accelerationist manifesto, fucking trans women, watched I saw the TV glow, and now Nevada.

I've really romanticized the idea of those COVID pods people had during the pandemic.

more on that, I guessLike, a group of people committed to coexisting peacefully with one another and actively keeping each other involved? Planning activities and checking in with one another? Consistent contact with the same humans? Struggling together, sharing in the human experience? Hot damn. Too bad it was the end of the world.

Most people my age seem to still be with their Pod Group thing from this time. Like they chose their forever friends and now they all post about how they go to wine tours or on top of mountains or something. And I'm just stuck on the outside, wondering why people who haven't thought about me in years still weigh on my mind.

Overwatch is an annoying game because you can be doing great and then your team just decides to play like shit the last 3 minutes and you lose.

OH SHIT ONE GOT THROUGHUh is gender transgression a privilege? Like as in doing transgressive things, standing out in public Idk.

Okay so like Probably Not, but this keeps gnawing at my brain. If you are part of other marginalised groups, I feel like doing gender transgression (visibly) becomes way way more dangerous in our hellworld, Idk. I know this is probably me shamefully showing my ass, someone tell me what to read about this pls.

[โ€“] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

spoilerI see where you're coming from with this. But it's probably more appropriately wrapped up in like white privilege than gender transgression privilege. Cause, black cis women don't always conform to white femininity standards (for example) and they get thrown in the gender transgression bucket and they aren't even close to attempting to transgress gender norms, they're just living. Same could go for butch lesbians, I guess, it's not hard to figure out who is "acceptable" to the hegemonic culture and allowed to be more butch.

But it's not like people need an excuse to oppress the marginalized, it's right in there in the name already - they're actively being marginalized right now.

I hate this book the first three chapters are good but then it becomes trash

Also

I HATE MECHAS

I HATE MECHAS

and the one scene about the authors fantasies of violently murdering strawman anarchists... just eww

[โ€“] m532@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago (24 children)

And now to why I hate mechas: They represent individualism.

A submarine, for example, or a tank, is piloted by multiple people. Collectivism. Together strong. A mecha being stronger than a submarine is Great Man Theory personified.

Oh did I mention that the villains have shitty cannon fodder mechas that can't do shit? It's power levels again. The important main character mechas can kill dozens of cannon fodder mechas, and they'll never get hit by cannon fodder mechas, only by the important main character ones of course.
