As a trans woman you can generally expect not to be believed about most things: The legal processes you've navigated, effects you've had from transition care, what you had for breakfast, and so on.
But there's one major exception, which is when you're clearly joking.
If you say something like "I'm going to forcefem Richard Nixon for his crimes", you will be subjected to a person who fully and entirely believes that:
You possess the infrastructure and resources necessary to operate a real life forcefemming dungeon sophisticated enough to forcefem not just any captive, but a US President
You intend to wield the power of this forcefem dungeon over political disagreements, and are taking active steps to do so
Your intended target is Richard Nixon, famously a corpse who has been dead for 30 glorious, Nixonless years, and you are apparently going to be able to put him in a state that would be receptive to forcefemming, which is generally understood to require a subject who is alive
Despite the evidence that you are a necromancer with substantial kidnapping abilities, you are receptive to being informed, in a strongly worded post of concern, that necromantic forcefem is immoral.
And once they've caught you in your dastardly scheme, they will not relent at attempts to clarify
Thinking bout the differences between fem!light and fem!L. Light would do all the culturally expected things: the long hair, the makeup (but not too much because ‘that’s trashy’), modest skirts. All that shit. She performs hegemonic femininity to a tee
And then L would just be the exact same. She’s exactly the same as canon L. And light would HATE her for it. Because lights femininity would just be another mask for her but L doesn’t play that one specific game.
I’m unwell
even if L successfully solved the kira case and had Light executed, lets be real, he wouldn’t last that long. For the sheer fact that nothing would ever be an interesting as Light Yagami ever again. Even in s platonic angle, L is a detective first and foremost because it cures his boredom- once he’s had a taste of something that un-boring, do you really think he could go back to the same old cases? Even the most interesting of secret plots could never compare to Kira, to Light. He would spend the rest of his energy searching for someone on his level again, someone to make things interesting- always to no avail. He couldn’t go on after the Kira case.
49) wow... a real talent
THANK YOU! what hurt the most was the complete disregard of the main overarching conflict of arcane: Piltover/Zaun. what happened to the inequality we were shown? it didn't go away because they had to team up and fight the big bad. also, even though I appreciated the Jayce and Viktor conflict (except for the "you don't need to cure your illness!" part), they completely centered the show around them and pushed Vi and Jinx to the side. also, Mel's magic arc made no sense for her character, and they left the Black Rose arc kinda unresolved? quick bullet points of the other shit that didn't make sense:
• Vi being ok with gassing the Lanes
• Caitlyn never facing repercussions for her actions
• Jinx's hallucinations almost completely going away
• we never find out what happens to Ekko's tree
• the entire Vander/Warwick thing
• Zaunites wearing enforcer uniforms during the last episode??? (seriously what the fuck)
• Maddie's betrayal (just bc ppl didn't like that she slept w Caitlyn doesn't mean it was foreshadowing)
• Jinx leaving Piltover by faking her death (especially since she tried to kill herself like earlier that day) + Caitlyn not telling Vi she's alive?? also how this leaves Ekko w a bad ending even though he literally saved the world
arcane season 2 review: nobody’s motivation made any sense. the animation was incredible. I don’t care what anyone says, the imagine dragons soundtrack rules. I wish these people would stop saying stuff like “desperation is the gateway to oblivion”, that literally doesn’t mean anything. was really funny when that one guy said “your disease made you beautiful, you didn’t need a cure” to the guy with fantasy tuberculosis. loved when the lesbians kissed. loved when the gay men did a madoka magica. the flashbacks of young silco with long hair made the entire shit script worth it.
cha cha real scared
