Last month I caught Covid, and right at the start of my symptoms I saw this post. For the next 8ish days, I was HAUNTED by this song. It played on a loop in my head for hours. I would wake up in the middle of the night covered in sweat singing ββ¦mixed with Zach Galifianakisβ as it bounced around in my virus-addled brain. It was literally inescapable.
Anyway as soon as that ended, the Morbin Time memes started so you can imagine how that went for me, who would be deliriously sick for another 5 days.

the statement: "a legal theory was proposed in which trans women could be targeted without violating the Constitution because other women and other trans people are excluded from our specific oppression, which suggests that transmisogyny is real and that transmisogyny affected and exempted are meaningful categories for analysis of our material conditions."
the response: "you are sowing divisions in our community by saying this. everyone has to get on board to fix things, which will only happen if you stop bringing this up. you are crazy, paranoid, and confused and the more you talk about your problems, the more we'll blame you for the violence that's done to you."
the smug condescension of a man who, upset that his privilege has been identified, asserts his male privilege knowing that a fair number of people will hop on board the "trans women are paranoid and divisive" train rather than interrogating their own biases and coming to the defense of more vulnerable members of their community.
the cherry on top was the tags, where he addressed the transfem he reblogged by name and said "I'm disappointed in you" as if she had done something wrong by sharing a post about her specific oppression. it's genuinely gross how trans women are treated so poorly so casually. how dare we speak?
And the original statement is really intersectionality 101.
In Crenshaw's original paper, the literal first example was a company that fired all the black women but successfully argued in court that it wasn't discrimination on gender or race because they kept the black men and the white women.
Changing the context from black women to trans women doesn't fundamentally change the applicability of intersectional theory, even while the specifics of the oppression may change a lot.
T girl Ralsei T boy Noel call us the Transgender Siblings
helpful "nice" love interest type character with catastrophic self worth issues who struggles with agency and the roles that are imposed on them and that people expect them to live up to, heavily gendered titles (the prince from the dark/the girl next door). literally trapped by their role in the prophecy. you get it. i get it. we all get it.

partially-managed mental illness is so fucking funny i'll be sitting around doing my job and suddenly think "wow i hate myself" and immediately get confused because, like, that's not TRUE! i love myself so much. who are you to talk to me like that
Iβve had this thought in my head for a long while now that, after the Roaring/Final Tragedy, the latter half of chapter seven would feature the characters breaking the game itself and travelling through chapters in order to write a new ending and save Kris (and perhaps Dess by extension).Β
And after chapter fiveβs weird route ended with Kris and Noelle breaking the game in another way, I then had the thoughtβ¦ βWellβ¦what if these two Noelles crossed paths?β
Alt text for this comic under the read more:
Page 1
Panel 1 - In a largely empty, completely grayscale-looking approximation of Hometown, a choppy, pixel door outlined in the DEVICE color green appears. Through it, thereβs signs of the gameβs layer existing outside of the game itself. Three figures look through the door: Susie, Noelle and Ralsei, all in different forms of their dark world selves. Susie has become a full dragon, with horns, wings and a much longer tail. Her eyes glow red from the soul. Ralsei is now fully femme presenting, in a green dress, and with their scarf turned into a pink ribbon. She holds up a magic flame to light their way. Noelle is still in her white robes, but now with small glowing angel wings at her back, and a golden halo resembling an eye with six points. All of them look shocked and confused.
Title: MAKE or BREAK
Panel 3 - In a reverse shot, we see the other side of the door, into the empty grayscale landscape. The area is dotted with red tears in reality where the dark world peeks through, black and red lines in contrast to the boring grayscale town. Two other figures look back at the three that have spotted them: Kris and Noelle on the weird route. Noelle looks darker, bedraggled, her hair tangled and wet. She is in her light world outfit, except for her right arm, which seems permanently stuck with the arm and robed sleeve of her dark world self. Kris scuffles along the ground without really walking, arms hanging limp, their body almost completely dull gray and black. A dimmed soul can be seen through cracks in their chest. They donβt even seem to be an actual person anymore, and are just dragging behind Noelle like a convenient carrying case for the soul. Noelle looks back through the door with equal shock and confusion.Β
Page 2
Panel 1 - A medium close-up as weird route (WR) Noelle falls to her knees with a FWUMP. She catches herself forward with her hands.
Panel 2 - Side view of WR Noelle as she leans forward, her hair covering much of her face, her body shaking. Behind her, the hollowed out Kris stands silently. βI donβtβ¦donβt understand it!β WR Noelle says.
Panel 3 - Upshot as WR Noelle stares down at her hands, which are veined red from using the soul so much. Sheβs still shaking. βIβm strong enough!β she says, her face contorted in anger and confusion. βIβve been strong enough to do the IMPOSSIBLE!β
Panel 4 - Wider shot as she looks back up at the other three from the normal route, who all hover above the ground, looking down at her with pity and horror. WR Kris still slumps beside her. βSo how is thatβ¦still not enoughβ¦to win against YOU?β WR Noelle cries, looking specifically at normal route (NR) Noelle, who whisps away the last snowflakes of a spell. Theyβve just finished a fight, and WR Noelle lost.
Panel 5 - Downshot as WR Noelle remains on her hands and knees, glaring up at NR Noelle hovering over her. NR Noelleβs wings and halo can be seen from the back. WR Noelle finishes, βWhen all YOU didβ¦was stay on track?!β
Page 3
Inset panel of NR Noelle holding up a hand and looking off to the side, as if trying to fish out a good response. βWellβ¦I DID get to be a final boss,β she says. βIt seems likeβ¦you skipped all that?β
Panel 1 - In comparison between Noelleβs statements, we see an image of what might have happened on the normal route. Dragon Susie faces off against an enormous boss that seems to be the Angel and Noelle combined into one being. Itβs difficult to see the entire creature, but it has enormous angel wings, concentric golden rings around the head sporting snowflake-like spikes, shining silver armor, and a mess of feathers and antlers protruding from the head. Susie attacks the boss with bright green fire breath; the same color as her healing magic.
Panel 2 - In contrast, in the weird route, Noelle and Kris traverse the landscape, spotted with tears into the dark world. In both spaces, Lightners and Darkners are left frozen in ice by Noelleβs power. At first Noelle is in her dark world outfit, but as they progress the ability for her to change her appearance breaks, and only one sleeve is left of her robe. The two seem stuck in an endless loop of breaking things and freezing things to get stronger.
Panel 3 - Mid shot of WR Noelle as she searches for a response to this. βBut then, that just meansβ¦β
Panel 4 - She finds her response and shoots back, βThat you still LOST!β She glares back up at her angelic counterpart.
Panel 5 - Inset panel of NR Noelle looking a little confused at the accusation. β...What? Of course I did,β she says.
Panel 6 - βWhatβsβ¦the other option?β she continues.βThat I kept winning, and holding on to that power, and never going anywhere else? Just being STUCK there, forever?β After the final battle, dragon Susie helps a restored Noelle to her feet, tears streaming down her face. Giant feathers drift down around them, showing that the angel form was defeated.Β Β
Page 4
Panel 1 - Wide shot as the normal route gang face weird route Noelle and Kris. The landscape is still grayscale, broken and empty; all of the people in it frozen and dead. β...Like you are now?β NR Noelle suggests sadly.Β
Panel 2 - Mid shot of WR Noelle, with WR Kris still hovering in the background. WR Noelle sneers, clutching her chest and pointing up at her counterpart. βDonβt act so smug! You should KNOWβ¦we were trapped there!β
Panel 3 - Side view of WR Noelle as she clutches the sides of her head, expression angry and desperate. βIn that town, in thatβ¦story, that LIFE!β she cries. βWe had to get out!!β
Panel 4 - Side view of NR Noelle as she looks down at her weird route self with sadness. She responds, βOf course I understand. Iβm you.β
Panel 5 - Full shot of normal route Susie, Noelle and Ralsei, all looking hurt and pitying as they hover over the scene. Noelle closes her eyes and clutches her hands to her chest, genuinely distressed. βIβm justβ¦Iβm so, so sorry, thatβ¦that thing, made you believeβ¦β
Panel 6 - Closeup on just Noelle as she looks on with pity. She finishes, β...that the only way out was to hurt yourself.β
Panel 7 - Extreme close up on WR Noelle as she looks off to the side, not wanting to meet NR Noelleβs gaze. She does not want to accept there may have been other options. βNo, Iβ¦I had toβ¦β she says.
Page 5
Panel 1 - Full shot of Noelle and Susie looking on with sadness. Susie speaks up, flaring her wings up, and pulling her hands to her chest. βDonβt you get it?! We STILL got free!β she says, her expression pained at seeing Noelle like this. βIβm going to CHANGE it, for all of us!β
Panel 2 - Side view of Susie as she looks down at WR Noelle, still clutching her chest. Tears prick at the corners of her eye. βYouβ¦didnβt have to do that to yourselfβ¦and to Kris!...β
Panel 3 - Mid shot on WR Noelle as she screams back, βYou donβt even KNOW what Kris did to ME!β Behind her, WR Kris says and does nothing.
Panel 4 - Ralsei speaks up, extending a hand towards the unmoving Kris. βIs that even Kris anymore?β she cries.Β
Panel 5 - Ralsei still reaches a hand towards WR Kris, but they do not move and react. Whatever person was there seems to be completely gone now.Β
Panel 6 - Full shot of NR Noelle, Susie and Ralsei still facing down WR Noelle. WR Noelleβs antlers frame the three of them in the foreground. βYou broke the boundary so much earlier than we didβ¦β NR Noelle says. β...Did you never figure outβ¦WHAT had changed Kris?β
Panel 7 - βWhat was giving you that power?β A flashback scene to the weird route in chapter four, where Kris equips the thorn ring back onto Noelle. The shot just focuses on their hands, and the thorn being placed against Noelleβs finger.
Page 6
Panel 1 - Focus on NR Noelle as she looks off to the side, looking disturbed. Her halo eye follows her line of sight. βYou know what the worst part about all this is?β she says. βThe thing that really makes my fur stand on end?β
Panel 2-3 - A large panel showing both sides of the story: in the top one we see the end of the weird route in chapter five, with Noelle and Kris sinking upside-down into the bottom of the lake. The water is green and dark, except for the light of the soul starting to shine between them. In the bottom one we see the end of the normal route, with a multitude of dark fountains filling the skies around Castle Town. Kris lies injured and bleeding out, their right hand gone, and a dark hole in their chest. A mix between blood and strange, chopping darkness pours out of their wounds; theyβre in mortal danger. Above them, Ralsei in their dress tries to keep them stable with her healing magic. Noelle reaches upward with her own powerful magic, and dragon Susie blasts at the worldβs barrier with her fire breath. The two sides mirror each other, both breaking through reality.Β
NR Noelle says, βItβs knowing that the thing that did this to youβ¦and to Krisβ¦ And the thing thatβs now helping us SAVE Krisβ¦ Theyβre probably the same person.β
Panel 4 - A repeat of panel one, with NR Noelle looking back towards her counterpart. She almost has a wry, knowing smile on her face. βI meanβ¦thatβs what WEβD do, right? Try everything, even the messed-up options. See how things break.βΒ
Page 7
Panel 1 - Full shot as WR Noelle slumps further to the side, her expression blank. WR Kris stands silently behind her, while NR Noelle still stands in the foreground. Itβs all starting to his WR Noelle; understanding is coming to her.Β
Panel 2 - Slightly closer in on WR Noelle as she leans to the side. A weary smile creeps across one side of her face as she looks to the side. βI see. Thatβs how it is,β she says.
Panel 3 - Closer on WR Noelleβs face as she looks back at her counterpart. Sheβs smiling, but itβs not a happy oneβ¦more resigned. βSo Iβm the broken one, huh?β
Panel 4 - Mid shot of NR Noelle as she looks down, clutching her hands to her chest again, eyes closed. βIβm sorry. Iβm so sorry.β She seems to be genuinely grieving for her other self.
Panel 5 - The grief does not reach WR Noelle, who just looks down at the thorn ring on her right hand with a resigned smile. βDonβt be. I donβt regret it,β she says. βI still got to see thingsβ¦got to DO things, that you never will.β
Panel 6 - Downshot of NR Noelle and Ralsei. She looks over at Ralsei as they put a hand on her shoulder, and hold their head with their other hand. βPlease. Letβs just go. I canβt stand it here. I canβt stand itβ¦I canβtβ¦β she says, looking genuinely distressed.
Panel 7 - βThereβs nothing here we can help Kris with.β Ralsei finishes. Meanwhile, WR Kris continues to slump in the air, saying and doing nothing. Whatever Kris was here is long gone.
Panel 8 - Mid shot of Noelle and Susie, as Noelle turns to face Susie. βYeah. Itβsβ¦gettinβ antsy again,β Susie says, clutching her stomach with one hand. They all seem ready to leave.
Page 8
Panel 1 - Wide shot as the normal route trio head back into the green-colored door they entered from, back into the DEVICE layer. WR Noelle watches them turn to leave from the foreground.Β
Panel 2 - βWAIT! I knowβ¦arenβt you going to do it?β WR Noelle calls after them, her expression now more manic.
Panel 3 - Full shot of WR Noelle still on the ground, with Kris slumped behind her. NR Noelle stands in the foreground, just her arm visible. βI know that you can!β WR cries, pointing a hand up at NR Noelle.
Panel 4 - Extreme closeup on NR Noelleβs face. Her eyes look haunted. β...I donβt want to,β she says.
Panel 5 - A repeat of panel 3, with NR Noelleβs arm in the foreground, and WR Noelle on the ground, looking up at her. Her expression is still manic; she wants to get in the last word. βBut you HAVE to,β she says. βWe always did end up having to delete those glitched pets, right? So turn and face me. I want to SEE you do it.β
Panel 6 - Closer in on WR Noelle as she holds her hands up, her smile twisted, still clinging to that feeling of impossible power. βI want us BOTH to know how it FEELS!β
Panels 7-8 - A closeup of NR Noelle, facing away from the camera. She then turns her head slightly to look back at her weird route self, her expression now colder.Β
Page 9
Panel 1 - Full shot as Noelle turns back, just in front of the opening theyβve come through. Susie and Ralsei, on the other side of the opening and back into the middle layer, both look back with sadness. WR Noelle has asked for a final word from NR Noelle, and will receive it. βThereβsβ¦one more thing. You didnβt lose because I was a final boss, or anything like that,β NR Noelle says.
Panel 2 - Mid shot as NR Noelle turns back to fully face WR Noelle in the foreground. She starts to raise a hand. βYou lost because your power came from the thing in Kris.β
Panel 3 - βThe one playing this all out,β she continues. βSoβ¦what happens to your power when itβs NOT playing?β
The panel shows an extreme closeup on WR Noelleβs face, with a focus on her eyes. All of the challenging smile in her expression is gone, and instead, thereβs only a dawning horror. She only now understands what has happened.
Panel 4 - Upshot as NR Noelle stands over her, raising her right hand to her head. Magic starts to gather around the ring at her finger. Noelle is cast largely in shadow, her expression grave. Her full power is now about to be unleashed, and it terrifies both of them. βIβm sorry it never gave you the chance to realize itβ¦but we never needed it,β she says. βWeβve always been strong enough.β
Page 10
Panel 1 - In an extreme close up on Noelleβs hand, she gives a little flick of her finger, dragging magic with it. Itβs clear now that sheβs wearing the Gilded Rose ring.
Panel 2 - In the DEVICE layer, the weird route file is erased.Β

Sorry we really went from free the nipple, take back the night, slut walks, and ending gender/sex segregation in sports being fucking milquetoast feminism 101 concepts to fucking girl dinner and "I just worry about fairness if we let trans girls play against cis ones" and "it was right of that woman to call the cops on a black man for existing near here in public during the day time because men are all violent monsters" and "radical feminism isn't transphobic we just need to kill all men including trans ones those oppressive traitors" and I will legit never be able to be normal about it. What the FUCK happened. I'd say I wonder what the feminists of my youth would say about this but I'm one and lemme tell ya I want to throw up. Go fucking read bell hooks or do something else useful please because all of this learned helplessness, gender essentialism, and transphobia dressed up as feminism is actively holding us back.
hey do u mind if I fetishize you. What why are you upset I'm doing it wokely and gayly. No you don't understand I'm objectifying you empowering style. You should be grateful someone like you is getting this attention like you shouldn't be looking a gift horse in the mouth with what you've got going on. Why are you mad
wish we could talk about feminism or especially transfeminism without feeling crazy. because its not crazy. but whenever we talk about it we feel like we're putting on our tinfoil hats and ranting on the streets.
we can't even say "i hate men" without having to explain TO OTHER WOMEN that no, we don't hate every individual man on the planet, we hate the class man and the system men made for themselves that dominates the place we live in. in the same way that we have to tell other women that misandry is not a systemic force, and hating what men as a class of people and the patriarchy they made does not a misandrist make
and then WE feel bad because we made others uncomfortable by talking about injustice!
Its absolutely insane how much backsliding the public consciousness has intentionally done over the last couple years alone in regards to feminism. Like, all of these things were basic feminist concepts that most people anywhere left of center understood and accepted as late as 2024. Y'all remember the "would you rather encounter a strange man in the woods or a bear" question? That whole thing happened just two fucking years ago!

Every day tumblr users get closer and closer to saying you can only be trans in a god honouring way.
Edit: my problem is with the comparison and trying to rate people's transness and who's more transgressive. If you attempt to turn this into a trans guys vs trans girls post you are missing the point.
This is what white supremacy looks like in the trans community. Genuinely.
These screenshots are literally just white supremacist, right wing talking points about conformity to the status quo being more "transgressive" than people who actually transgress social norms. It's quite literally no different than Christians, MAGA, the right wing, etc. thinking they're the ones who are actually oppressed despite engaging with ideas, values, and presentations that have actually been the ruling class status quo for centuries. It's all taken from the same self victimization playbook.
It's especially clear with the 4chan language mixed in that is just white supremacist incel shit, "gigastacy", "mog", "aura" β that's incel forum channer language that's infiltrated broader internet vernacular and it doesn't matter if the OOPs here are actually explicitly 4chan using white supremacists. They're still engaging with 4chan white supremacist language, behavior, and beliefs.
racism runs so deeply in people that if you call it out you are calling out them, and instead of sitting down and examining their own racism they lash out at you for being sooo meansies to them. you don't even have to be talking about anyone's racist behavior in particular because it makes racists so uncomfortable they will come forward themselves and act like you're targeting them specifically. it's okay when they do it because they're doing it in the correct way, in the nice way! they don't mean it like that. in fact they're actually being progressive. you're the cruel one for acting like their racist behavior is racist. you're the problem if you're bothered by their comfort racism. you're the bitchy colored person who makes eeeverything about racism when it so clearly isn't. i'm fucking sick of this.
