Me now: HOW THE FUCK DO I DO THE HELMET MASK COMBO JESUS.

First of all, this provides a great example of how a lot of gender essentialist discourse has a hard time dealing with trans people. If you say that “Boys are X and Girls are Y” then you’re going to leave a lot of trans people very very confused, especially as they’re trying to sort things out - and especially if they are X’s for somethings and Y’s for others.

But additionally, I do have a question here that I’m really confused about.

Someone in the notes posted: “i think the point here is that straight/bi men and wlw look entirely differently at women, and wlw feel predatory for their desires, while men do not.”

And I guess I really don’t understand what that difference is. I mean, yes, I know plenty of wlw who feel predatory for their desires, and there are plenty of men who do not. But for me, it’s less about whether or not I’m being predatory, but whether or not I’m going to get read that way specifically because I do not pass. Sure, I might be safe within my own head, but IDK. I still get worried about related with other women because I’m trans and just... weeee~

Aliza is very much a morning person: smiling brightly, bouncing around making breakfast while being chatty, everything that makes us caffeine-dependent sleep-deprived late risers want to punch the world.  She loves to make breakfast if she’s allowed (for some reason Josephine find it somewhat improper) and will happily sit and chatter and watch people eat her handiwork (she would have eaten already, you see, because she was up so damned early).

Isadora is not a morning person.  She needs several cups of tea before she’s willing to talk to people, and it’s really best to allow her that tea before trying to force her.  At breakfast, she’s quiet and more focused on the food than on conversation.

Aliza - Cullen.  He was sweet, and their relationship is sweet (if a little bland), and it’s the “happy ending” canon that I needed personally the first time I played the game.

Briar - Solas.  There was no other option for her; she would never romance a non-elf and Sera was far too flighty for her.  She needed someone serious and also I played Trespasser beforehand and by then I craved the angst.

Oren - Dorian.  These two precious boys <333

Basira - Blackwall.  Basira is a brick wall herself and it was nice to see someone wiggle under that and then betray her.

Isadora - Josephine.  More sweet sweetness.  Isadora is a perfect lady and Josephine only deserves the best.

Eulila - Sera.  I just ship Sera/dwarves for some reason

Geordie - Cassandra.  I ship Cassandra/squealing man with mage arms who needs her protection.

Claudia - Iron Bull.  Girl needs herself a good dom.  They argue a lot, or rather, Claudia tries to argue like she always does and Bull coaxes her into sex or drinking instead.
