hiiii :)

i feel like whenever people discuss hatsune mikus age its always either "hatsune miku is literally 16 you cant treat her like an adult" or "hatsune miku is a piece of software with no thoughts or feelings you can do whatever" but never the imo more interesting "hatsune miku is a marketing mascot designed to be a virtual idol, what does it say about the idol industry that the people involved considered 16 to be the perfect age to assign her. why do so many vtubers played by adult women have 16 on their profile. why are so many idol anime about highschoolers. can we talk about the contexts and implications please please please please-"

and this isnt a "japan bad lol" thing theres so many characters out there who are functionally treated as adults but designated to be in their late teens. i think the oldest (official) disney princess is like. 21. its a feature of how society at large treats 16-25 as the only viable window of attractiveness yknow. the dicaprio problem. its everywhere once you look for it unfortunately and even characters i love are not exempt from reflecting the bias.

We gotta start calling it a sex change again to remind everybody you can change your sex

Obviously the old narrative/misconception about "having The Surgery" was uh. Stupid lol. The common refrain was "which one?" to emphasize transition doesn't work like that. But now we're living in "sex is an immutable Natural Fact" world and it's like well no actually. You're somehow wronger about how trans people's bodies work than you were before. There is no singular The Surgery because "sex" is made up of several different traits, nearly all of which are changeable, through surgery or hormones or even just exercising different muscle groups to change their appearance. "Buh chromosomes" you don't know what a chromosome is

artemis iii crew getting announced tomorrow everyone say your goodbyes to ryan gosling

one thing that absolutely murdered me reading phm was how after grace n rocky separate and head towards to their respective planets, for ages afterwards grace sets aside a brief period each day where he kills the engines on the hail mary so he can fire up the petrovascope and look back at the IR light from rocky's ship. and he does this so consistently that after the taumoeba-burrowing-through-xenonite crisis, he still knows roughly where Rocky's at and that his ship was still functional up until pretty recently, because he's been checking on him every day 😭
