My Two Moods are Gay and Anxious

I would like exactly thirteen and a half snom. Not in a 'cut it in half' way but in a 'make it approximately half a snom less without implied snom abuse' way

its so awkward when people ask me why i dropped out and i have to be like "inadequate disability support" bc no one wants to hear this. they're always like i thought they had to provide that though isn't it the law? girl you might want to sit down i have some bad news about the litigation-based enforcement of the americans with disabilities act

Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep really did all that. Imagine living in a place called the Land of Departure for as long as you can remember. You’re not allowed to leave, by the way. Okay, maybe you can leave, but ONLY if the adults think you’re Capable and Reliable and Good enough. You can try to leave anyway, but your surrogate father’s going to kill you when you get back. So have fun either 1) being constantly monitored by the Good One who cannot possibly comprehend what it is like to be rejected so completely from one’s home and family OR 2) being the Good One and having to keep appeasing authority while also making sure your friends are Good and Safe enough for your collective surrogate father to consider not killing them (which is probably impossible). Oh, and if you somehow end up successfully killing your surrogate father, you just get possessed. The killing helps cause the possession in some way. I think.

I need to replay bbs to further solidify this, but man the parentification of Aqua by Eraqus and by extension the writers sure does get me sometimes, it's patronizing to Terra and Ven to be sure but also serves to further alienate her from them while she's trying to appease Eraqus. I think it could've been handled well but it was unfortunately a manifestation of the writers' casual sexism rather than an attempt at saying anything about the sentiments and unexamined assumptions that lead to situations like that. Kh has a problem with that in general, but I think bbs is the most blatant about it largely because Aqua is the first female protag that's actually playable in the main story mode rather than a side quest sort of deal like Xion and Larxene in Days. You're in the driver's seat this time and MAN the view ain't so great.

I know myself well enough to know I would not be very good at fanbiding and that would mainly frustrate me, so while I love fan binding and admire those who do it, I've never dabbled.

@copperbadge were you looking for the Goncharov novel ?
