Maybe this is a hot take but the gendered segregation of bloodsports is just as pants-on-head ridiculous as the gendered segregation of any other sport.
Like. This is a fucking game. Two boxers fighting one another in a ring are two gamers playing a game together. I cannot stress the extent to which boxing, MMA, et al are games created and pursued primarily for idle amusement. Just because the game is happening in a ring as opposed to on a pitch doesn't make it less of a game. We are Playing Toys when we glove up and clobber each other. It is For Fun. They're dangerous games, to be sure, but the danger is the chief source of amusement for the participants and the audience. The boxers wouldn't be boxing if they hated boxing.
"If we did co-ed boxing there would be Men Beating Up Women 😡" Last time I checked a fight requires at least 2 active participants unless you're just beating up on yourself alone like Edward Norton in that movie. And as I said above, I presume nobody would pursue a career in boxing if they didn't like doing the boxing.
And moreover, maybe I'm just a hashtag 90s kid but I grew up being constantly innundated with messages about how girls are just as tough as boys and can do anything boys can do. "Fight like a girl" was an inescapably popular slogan. And it was all very nice and heartwarming and inspirational. So I take serious umbrage with the notion that competing in a co-ed fight league equates to "men beating up women" because, here in the real world, the women would lay out the men just as often as the reverse, and this implicit assumption that women are by majority soft, delicate, helpless creatures simply unfit for participation in physical culture has got to be one of the least feminist things I've ever heard.
Fighting (and weightlifting) would be some of the easiest sports to convert into a co-ed model cause they already have weight classes within the gender segregated versions to keep the sports fair. It really wouldn't be that hard to just combine the two halves into one thing. And this is also what prevents the thing that everyone is so scared of happening from happening. You wouldn't get a massive mountain of a man beating up a tiny woman in co-ed boxing, because they'd be in two different weight classes. If the massive mountain of a man were to fight a woman, he'd be fighting a massive mountain of a woman, and if a the tiny woman were to fight a man, she'd be fighting a tiny man. Thats how these sports already work. (This is also why the argument against letting trans people compete in the gendered categories matching their identities falls flat, people think if you let a trans woman compete in womens boxing that she'd dominate all her opponents, when in reality she'd be in the weight category that ensures her opponents give her fair fights. But that's a different conversation)
The real reason most sports, including fighting, are gender segregated, isn't because men would automatically dominate, quite the opposite actually, it's because the men would not win every single time and would lose to women more often than one would assume. And because our patriarchal society devalues anything women are good at, sports as a whole would be devalued. And that devaluing of womens work, talents, interests, and accomplishments is the real problem that needs to be addressed
Kris and Susie would be drift compatible because they are just synced up like that, theirs is the one in a million bond that clicks on instant to the point of nearly-justified overconfidence in their abilities; give them too much time and one of them (kris) is following in Yancy's footsteps.
Kris and Noelle would be drift compatible with some work and readjustment, getting to learn and relearn each other, find the similarities and what's changed, but there would always be that little bit of hesitation caused by the gulf of time, never fully crossable, linked good and solid but never fully.
Susie and Noelle would be very drift compatible but terrible as a jaeger pilot team (at least without serious work that in the world of pacrim, there just isn't time for) because I don't think either of them would be able to focus on doing the fight, both would be so terrified of the possibility that the other comes to harm- Susie externally mucking up their actions, Noelle internally mucking up their thoughts.
Krusielle together, however would form a brilliant drift. Kris the leader and mind, calming their partners and directing them onwards; Noelle the driving heart, the reason to keep going, to fight a hurricane and win; Susie the fierce muscle, bridging the gaps between broken connection out of sheer will, the determination.
Immediately started getting ahead of myself in the notes lol, so i'm writing a whole au now.
Ralsei is the jaeger/shatterdome ai, like Glados but with more of a personality. Berdly is the chuck hansen and Rudy is the herc- not his dad but definitely a mentor. Carol is Stacker (extremely stressed about her husband piloting but her logic overrides her emotions) and the kaijus are titans.
Timeline is thusly- world-renowned, recordbreaking sibling duo Kris and Asriel deploying in Hero Hyper, alongside the also-world-renowned, also-recordbreaking sibling duo Noelle and December deploying in Punk Angel, fight and lose against the first known cat 3 Titan, codenamed Jester. Kris is severely injured, Dess is killed, Punk Angel is destroyed (Noelle survived because Dess forced her into an escape pod) and Asriel has to retire from the jaeger program due to the strain of piloting Hero Hyper back to base with Kris unconscious. Upon realising what happened, Kris also retires, while Noelle throws herself harder into whatever she can (maybe piloting alongside Catti for a time, fine bond but nothing special), feeling like she could have saved Dess if her sister hadn't sacrificed herself first.
Five years later, Noelle and a new defence force recruit Susie (with Mako's backstory, Carol saved her but is more pragmatic than Stacker, for better or worse) have formed a sudden and intense bond, and Carol permits them to try drifting. Their sims go extraordinarily well, but on their first and only deployment together alone, it's a pyrrhic victory at best. A double event strikes, codenames Wires and Mantle. Susie and Noelle freak out, Catti and Jockington are killed and their jaeger Shooter Occult is destroyed, leaving Sharp Blazer to finish things off, Berdly getting badly hurt in the process. Two titans defeated, in exchange for a jaeger and effectively five pilots.
Enter Kris Dreemurr. Rediscovered by their now-head-technician brother, they are brought in as the shatterdome's last hope. First they test with Susie, and click to a near-perfect degree. But both of them know what happened last time they piloted like that. So Noelle, then. The bond's good and sturdy, effective enough; but that's not the level they need to be at. For sealing the breach to work, good has to be great. Carol bars any other pilots from suiting up, and prepares to pilot with her husband for the suicide mission.
It's Susie's Idea, of course. Refit a jaeger for three people. They don't sim it to test- they fight, instead. 1 versus 1 versus 1, and all three of them win. Noelle's found the people who'll listen to her as equals. Susie's found people strong enough to be vulnerable with. For Kris, neither woman's a replacement for Asriel. No one could be. But they have to admit to themself and their brother; Noelle and Susie are just as good. (Asriel agrees.)
Any two of them alone, the jagged edges would just scrape. But all three is smooth as butter.
Sharp Blazer and the rechristened Rude Anthem step out to battle codenames King and Queen, both categories four. Midway through, the first cat-5, codenamed Knight, joins the battle. Sharp Blazer is carrying the nuke. Noelle gets to say goodbye to her parents. None of them get to the escape pods until Rude Anthem is falling into the breach mid-detonation. All of them survive.
Oh and the scientists are your pick of Burgerpants x Blue Ears, Undalphys or (extremely platonic and divorced) Toriel & Asgore, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Being asexual and racist is embarassing as fuck. Being racist at all is obviously embarassing as fuck but the amount of racism and especially antiblackness i have been seeing from asexuals recently is obscene.
One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.
And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.
Edit: why are you all too scared to repost this. Cmon. Be vocal about being against racism
white ppl will steal every aesthetic from black culture and then call it something so stupid like bo derek braids instead of box braids or hasbin hotel core instead of black southern dandism. yall will bend over backwards to call my culture barbaric/scary just to drool over the aesthetic the moment no actual black people are involved (21 pilots vs actual reggae). And if ur white/nonblack reading this just reblog. I dont need any comments talking about how not racist you are + speaking up over actual black people.

I really, really love Susie and Noelle's scenes during the Holiday Manor segments of chapter 4. Not just in a yuri sense, but specifically because there's this little meta game being done with Susie, Dess, and her memory + how it's preserved and like... the Idea Of Undertale in our perception as an audience.
Deltarune is "A game you can play after you complete Undertale", right? Toby calls it that himself. It is steeped in the expectations we have from that game. Its characters. Its plot points. Its motifs. The impact it had on us as a story, both from the audience's perspective AND from the creator's. Back when chapter 1 first came out, Toby talked about his anxieties regarding this new project, and being unable to "make us feel what we felt with Undertale".
Watsonianly, in Deltarune's story, there is this insanely intricate web of small town drama and trauma and history between Hometown's residents.
...and in barges Susie.
Susie who is the new girl. Susie who doesn't know anyone. Susie who has no respect or attachment to the "mythology" of Hometown, both in a religious sense and in the sense of the history of the people who live there.
Susie who, in the manor, says she "never played the original dragon blazers". Only Dragon Blazers 2.
To me she feels like a sort of implicit allegory for the new Deltarune fan? The one with ZERO attachment to Undertale. Because they never played it or because they played it afterwards. The one experiencing THIS story for its OWN sake.
She's unshackled by the core theme of nostalgia that binds every other character, because the objects that inspire it in Kris or Noelle or Hometown as a whole, they mean nothing to her. They hold no sacredness, no significance. So she tramples over them. A sort of desecration through cluelessness.
Which is EXACTLY what she does with Dess' memory! With her room, kept perfectly still and unchanged in the years since she disappeared, her guitar shoved in the closet to gather dust.
These are objects that MEAN something, that hold an incredible significance, to Noelle and to Carol and what and who they lost. They're something that (presumably) Carol preserved in an obsessive need to hold onto everything left of her daughter.
And it stagnates. It's frozen. It's no less dead, just because it is preserved.
...and it's precisely by desecrating that reverence that Susie is able to breathe new life into it. To create new connections with Noelle. To quite literally Make Art.
Waltzing into Dess' time-frozen room, not giving a fuck, plopping down against her bed waiting for us to make noise. You can see Noelle warn her to leave the room untouched, but she follows her shortly after. The ice melts.
Later, grabbing the guitar. playing it (badly!) but playing it for the first time in actual years. Making Noelle laugh. Reminding her of her sister.
It... kinda reminds me of the reverence we as an audience have for Undertale as the original source material.
Think about it. Didn't Toby have to calm everyone down when he released chapter 1 and reassure us that playing Deltarune would leave the ending we got for undertale untouched? Because people would be preventing themselves from interfacing and experiencing and CONNECTING with a new story, with a new piece of art, out of fear of it affecting... the one they'd already experienced. the one in the past, the one they'd already finished and closed and left to sit untouched on their desktops ever since.
This aspect of Susie is the thematic beating heart of chapter 4. It's the potential, the fire Gerson sees burning in her eyes.
And it ties back to Susie's own trauma and abuse and her being forcefully cast as the villain. Someone bad, broken, not good enough. Someone who should keep her nose out of things outside of her range.
Her confrontation with Carol when she snatches the guitar from her hands... sure she might not know the history/the context/the """sacred texts""", and that CAN isolate her and negatively affect her ability to navigate the social situations in Hometown (and allegorically her artistic output. she can't play the guitar, the piano, or write all that well), but she HAS value. Her perspective has value just by virtue of being new, original, revolutionary, her own, something SHE and only she can bring to the table. And those can improve through practice, dedication, and support. Ralsei himself, while well intentioned, makes the same mistake by shutting her healing skills down.
Total knowledge and reverence for Dess' memory and the past has frozen the Holiday family (and Hometown as a whole) in the past. It's locked them in stasis. they know how things were. they know how things "should be". they cannot deviate. every week they worship a prophecy that dictates their past, present and future.
"Only then will the worlds will be SAVED". But should that really be the goal...? When you save a game, you preserve the things you've already done in it. The only thing you can do is overwrite it or start again. It's an inherently cryogenic process.
...In the game MOTHER 3, The Dragon is a mythological creature slumbering under the crust of the earth, kept in its sleep through 7 magic needles. The needles can only be removed by someone who knows the move PK Love, when its power is needed. Once the last needle is removed, the Dragon will follow the heart of this person, good or bad, by bringing on the apocalypse and destroying the world.
proud victim of the tumblr accent. it's fading out of public consciousness as the tik tok accent takes precedence; a linguistic evolution that makes the tumblr accent 85% funnier to unsuspecting civilians. it's like releasing a disease on a non-inoculated population. coughing baby versus hydrogen bomb.

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”
Generally my husband and I sleep in separate rooms anyway, because as a standup comedian his schedule is much later than mine; but, it's currently way too hot for two people in one room.
Yesterday I tried to buy a fan, but they're obviously sold out. I mentioned to Steff that I might try sleeping downstairs last night, since our living room is several degrees cooler than the rest of the house. And then, suddenly, at bed time, he ran away to the study, and I heard the sound of Enthusiastic But Dyspraxic Rummaging, and I had enough time to think "Oh no, there will Consequences" and then SUDDENLY, Tumblrs, SUDDENLY there he was triumphantly holding up an actual fucking desk fan.
(To my knowledge we have never owned a desk fan.)
And he was like "I remembered! :D We own this! :D :D :D"
And I was like. Since when.
And he was like "Since years! I got it for an Edinburgh show years ago when it was roasting hot in the room, and at the end of the run no one wanted to take it back. So I did. And now you can use it tonight! :D :D"
"But, don't you want to use it?" I said, baffled, and he gave me a solemn look.
"I love you more than I want to be comfortable," he said.
So I think I need to marry him again.
(This morning I discovered that there were indeed Consequences to the study.)
