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)

Last week my partner was exposed to covid, so I dipped into my savings and got us a treat while we were isolating. I purchased a copy of borderlands 3 and a second controller. The game arrived today with no disc in the case, and the controller has been sitting in a postal distribution centre a 10 minute drive from my house for five days.

It's been a really long time since I got burnt by ebay, this sucks.

off topic and a little sadI really hate this vague feeling of being a burden. This has always been something I've struggled with. There really doesn't have to be a reason I feel that way, I just do.

musings on gender, patriarchy, and womanhood as it relates to meSo I have this thing. This problem, maybe, idk if it's bad enough to be considered a problem but maybe it's a problem. I... don't know what to claim for myself?

Like I'm a nebulous genderqueer nonbinary trans thing, very much not a woman, very much not a man. I'm definitely trans, but every time I use the word "transmasc" I wince a little inside because it sort of technically describes me, but I don't feel transmasc, if that makes any sense. And I know there are many feminine transmasc people, and it doesn't make them less transmasc (a struggle over "validity" isn't my problem here) โ€” but I don't feel like them, either?

And because I spent so long trying to disassociate myself from womanhood, because I internally don't feel like one, I kind of feel like I don't have the right to claim experiences of misogyny and sexism? I have never been a woman, I socially transitioned as nonbinary when I was sixteen, so I've never experienced what it's like to be an adult woman. I look like a woman to a lot of people, but my internal experience is so not "woman" that it's hard to register if people are being sexist to me or whatever. (Add onto the fact that I'm autistic, and it's even worse; I literally cannot read people's bad intentions.)

But I don't feel like a man either? My "passing" goal is to just be able to wear really femme clothes while not getting immediately read as as a cishet lady. Nothing about "manhood" appeals to me, and honestly, very little about even just the vague performance of "masculinity" (female masculinity included) appeals to me either. I want testosterone because I want a body that I like better and I want to stop getting read as a girl all the time. That's about it.

So I'm in this bind โ€” because I feel so disconnected from every aspect of the binary, even the more queer, complex manifestations of masculinity/femininity as they appear in queer communities, I feel like I can't claim anything? Like, for example, I'm very anti-patriarchy, I would consider myself a feminist. But I don't feel comfortable identifying with the effects of patriarchy, even though I know that I am not free from said effects, because I feel like... I'd be stepping over womens' voices as someone who is not a woman? And yet I also don't feel comfortable calling out men from the perspective of being another man? I feel like these are all very silly, unserious thoughts. But they are my thoughts.

There's more ways this manifests, but I'm going to stop here for now. In a lot of ways I feel like being nonbinary and trans has made me worse at understanding gender, rather than better at it. I'm no End Of Gender punk or anything, I know I'm still very much enmeshed within our current gender system, but I feel like I'm in this liminal state where I have no idea from which positionality I should critique it. I guess the positionality of a weird disconnected nonbinary person? There's this term "transneutral", maybe that applies?

When I used to spend a lot of time on tumblr, I actually liked calling myself tme, because it was a way to signify that I was not oppressed by transmisogyny while also not having to identify myself as transmasc. But I think that's a tumblr thing, and now that I don't spend time there anymore I don't know what terms to use...

Oh my fuckin god, does hand-editing pixel art in Windows 7's MS Paint ever take me back. Goddamn.

This 960x480 image is 2x scaled apparently, so four Paint pixels to one image pixel. The inscrutable mysteries of Paint.............

E: You can see the end result in my banner. It is from Fallow, I had to alter it some. Hexbear makes the aspect ratio skinnier as you zoom out, so a low res window or high Windows scaling looks best.

It's not the kind of thing we'll ever have to really countenance, at least our lifetimes, but I do wonder if we should terraform Mars or other moons at all instead of preserve them as they are. The technical feasibility notwithstanding, as purely a matter of what is "right." Also, if we could terraform Mars we should probably focus on re-terraforming Earth lol get those GHG back to pre industrial levels and re-wilding and recreating natural environments.

Not really related at all, but I remember passing by the Colleseum a while ago. They were doing repairs and renovations. And I thought it was so strange that instead of building it back to what it was when it was newer they were preserving it so that it looked like ruins still. Like a facsimile of ruins. But why preserve it at all if you want it to look like ruins? It'll continue to ruin, maybe we should think of it like a grand patina and that one day it will no longer be with us.
