The Twin Fantasy remake is good.
Come at me, Lenin
How do we get Lenin to listen to Car Seat Headrest?
Unironically this
I actually really like the way that the Chevron breaks up the stripes of the rainbow. However, a better designed flag would make the chevron a single color.
Before he died, Gilbert Baker suggested adding a lavender stripe for Diversity to the rainbow flag. I say make the Chevron a single lavender color.
In lieu of that though, I like the progress flag in the way that I like the flag of Maryland. It's so bad it loops back around to being charming.
If I want good queer flag design, I'll go to the bi, trans, and intersex flags. Most everything else is garbage tbh. For a group of people stereotyped as having an eye for aesthetics, we're garbage at flags.
Love me some Milt Jackson! The soft tones of that vibraphone are great for background music while studying
He's low key got the Charlie Kirk, 'face to small for head "thing going on
He's a cop, and that's cringe.
Meanwhile, the other half of Resident Evil 2 features a pretty woman who shoots big guns and protects a little girl, and she's not a cop. That's way hotter than cop Leon with his boyband haircut.
Also, as an aside, there's an old book on Wicca from the 70s called A Witch's Bible by Janet and Stewart Farrar, which at one point encourages readers to study Marxism and Dialectical Materialism, because the underlying spiritual philosophy of witchcraft is very dialectical. And I think that's pretty cool

Slice of Life/Drama
Wandering Son - it's a manga/anime about a group of queer middle school kids as they navigate growing up. The plot principally revolves around friends Nitori Suichi, a trans girl, and Takatsuki Yoshino, a trans boy. Though there are other trans characters that come in and out of the story.
They're mostly represented quite well. Especially in the anime. The manga has some notable stumbles however, that should be known about going in.
Mild spoiler >!Yuki, an older trans woman who acts as a mentor to the kids, and her husband, get uncomfortably touchy-feely with the kids when they're first introduced in the manga. This gets course corrected pretty quickly in the manga thankfully, and isn't present at all in the anime adaptation!<
Major spoiler >!In the Manga, Takatsuki is shown at the very end to no longer consider themselves trans. The text implies Takatsuki isn't actually cis, but is instead in the midst of an evolution in how they conceive of their gender, which us left open to interpretation. However, it's handled poorly and doesn't really land very well, and is known to be alienating to some trans masc readers. Again, this isn't an issue in the anime!<
But Wandering Son is the piece of media that ultimately convinced me that I need to transition. So I've got a huge soft spot for it
The notion that human beings are separate and apart from the natural world is colonialist nonsense.
The gameplay mechanic of... Turn based RPGs?
Hello fellow Gamers, gather round to hear my rambling thoughts about a cheesy videogame from 25 years ago!
When I was about 12 years old, circa 2010, a friend of mine dug out an old n64, and a few games, and one of those games was Resident Evil 2.
For those who haven't played this charmingly bad game from 1998, in the midst of this gory, violent, and gritty (by 1998 standards) game, you come across a little girl named Sherry, and you have to escort her around.
Sherry is simultaneously the most interesting character in the entire game, and also the most annoying. And among the reasons she is annoying, are the segments where you have to play as her.
Now, when I was a kid, when a game asked me to pick a gender, I would always pick boy, because I felt like I had to. But when I played these Sherry segments, this was the first time I had played as a girl in a video game, that I could conceivably relate to in some way.
I wasn't having fun, really... These segments are god awful to play. But they did awaken something in me. I was like, ".......You mean I get to be the little girl???"
I wanted to be her so bad! This didn't crack my egg, and I quickly buried all of these feelings once I finished the game. But it's definitely a thing I look back on and think "oh the signs were always there.
Anyway, this post is mostly just an excuse to get people to talk to me about my Trans Sherry headcanons.
Also, ask me my opinions on the RE2 remake. I just finished it!
Yeah, I'm a gamer
What do you want to know about them?
