Reblog If You’d Be Okay If Your Friend Came Out As Transgender

((IM SORRY, THIS MADE ME LAUGH TOO FUCKING HARD-

About a week ago I posted this.

I’ve been getting horrible messages like this in my ask for months, including:

and my personal favorite

After getting the message saying “Just go kill yourself” I was completely done dealing with this person’s horrible messages and replied with just an “Okay.” and logged off tumblr.

About a week later I logged back on with 17 messages in my ask, most of them from the anon. I scrolled down and at first when I logged off, the anon messaged me things like

I scrolled up more and all of a sudden they started sending me more and more messages like

This was extremely surprising to me. I thought “After all those horrible messages you sent to me for MONTHS about hating me and wanting me dead, you say ‘sorry’ and that you ‘cant be responsible for someone’s suicide’?”

But I guess the lesson goes like this:

DONT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN

Okay, so, now that I’ve had time to calm down and think instead of just freaking out, I’d like to actually talk about what I liked in season two.

All of the sibling relationships. All of them. Soren and Claudia’s and Callem and Ezran’s relationship were just so impactful and made me so so emotional. But also Sarai and Amaya. While we didn’t see a lot of them together, I think we was obvious from what we did see just how much they cared for each other. Speaking of witch-

SARAI. She was everything I’d hoped she would be and more. God, I love her personality, her voice, and most of all her relationship with her family. She really cared about them and her people and it showed. She was amazing.

And AMAYA. MY WIFE. She’s such a badass, I love her so fucking much. I want her to step on me ugh- But really, her fight scenes were amazing.

The humor. While I will admit the comedy in the show is quite... corny, I’d say, I still love it so much. Like, that parrot is the funniest thing ever, don’t fight me on this.

All of the magic we got to see was so exciting for me. I love it a lot, and I loved getting to see more of it.

Aside from his relationship with Ezran, I loved Callum this season. I love Ezran too, of course, but Callum and scenes involving Callum are what really made me emotional. Plus, I really enjoyed getting to watch his struggle as he tried to learn who he was. It was pretty relatable to me personally.

I LOVE AARAVOS. He’s horrible, and I love him. His design is beautiful, his voice is beautiful, and he’s a genuinely compelling character. I can’t wait to learn more of his backstory.

And I loved Lujanne. She was not at all what I was expecting, but she was so endearing. She was a goofy, sweet, grandma who I enjoyed every minute of seeing.

I was not offended by the queer death, and I’m very happy about that. I was a little miffed at most, but I feel that they handled it pretty well.

The music and voice acting was great as always, absolutely no complaints there.

And last but not least, DRAGONS. I fucking love dragons man, I cannot wait to see even more of them.

I know this isn’t the best written and most in depth list of good things about the season, but I just had to share because I really really love this show so far. Thanks to everyone who actually read this far.

Skip Google for Research

As Google has worked to overtake the internet, its search algorithm has not just gotten worse.  It has been designed to prioritize advertisers and popular pages often times excluding pages and content that better matches your search terms 

As a writer in need of information for my stories, I find this unacceptable.  As a proponent of availability of information so the populace can actually educate itself, it is unforgivable.

Below is a concise list of useful research sites compiled by Edward Clark over on Facebook. I was familiar with some, but not all of these.

⁂

Google is so powerful that it “hides” other search systems from us. We just don’t know the existence of most of them. Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information. Keep a list of sites you never heard of.

www.refseek.com - Academic Resource Search. More than a billion sources: encyclopedia, monographies, magazines.

www.worldcat.org - a search for the contents of 20 thousand worldwide libraries. Find out where lies the nearest rare book you need.

Fuck Nintendo here how to emulate every FE game pre-Switch :

FE1-2 : https://www.mesen.ca/ for the NES emulator, https://www.romhacking.net/translations/6087/ FE1 EN fantranslation, https://forums.serenesforest.net/topic/97653-fe-gaiden-updated-namesfont-patch/ FE2 fantranslation It the NES, your computer can emulate it trust me

FE3-4-5 https://www.snes9x.com/ for the SNES emulator https://www.romhacking.net/games/303/, for the FE3 fantranslation (note that it use the European names) https://forums.serenesforest.net/topic/63676-fe4-translation-patch-open-beta-v7/ for the FE4 fantranslation, https://feuniverse.us/t/fe4-complete-fire-emblem-genealogy-of-the-holy-war-spanish-translation/27551 for the spanish fan translation https://forums.serenesforest.net/topic/90189-fe5-lil-manster-%E2%80%93-translation-and-quality-of-life-patch-for-thracia-776/, for the FE5 fantranslation. There is also a completed spanish version SNES9x was first released in 20th century, your computer can run it

FE6-7-8 https://mgba.io/ for the GBA emulator https://forums.serenesforest.net/topic/41095-fe6-localization-patch-v121-full-localization-with-new-features-including-support-conversation-reader/ for the FE6 fantranslation You can run mgba trust me again

FE9-10 https://dolphin-emu.org/ for the Gamecube/Wii emulator Dolphin is more demanding (but still very resonable), especially if you want to run the games on higher resolution. I recommend checking out the recommend specs and trying it out on your machine

FE11-12 Either DeSmuME or MelonDS for the DS emulator. MelonDS run better but require firmware files https://github.com/R-YaTian/DSiEnhanced_Translation_Revision/tree/main/FE12 for the FE12 fantranslation

3DS games Citra was an accidental victim of Yuzu going down so your best bet is to grab it from one of it fork, like here https://github.com/PabloMK7/citra. It require a strong computer to run it, and my experience is that it doesn't run the FE games very well. Another option is to simply hack your 3DS if you have one

For obvious reason I can't link the roms themself but they are easy to find, like on a certain subreddit that start with R
