@Felthry OH Valkyria Chronicles. I highly recommend it as a fun game series (1 and 4 at least, 2 and 3 are PSP titles and I can't comment on them)

Just like.... very japanese writing. <_<

re: VC4 spoilers (fridging) 

@mawr the game has 'squad stories' for the non-main character cast of the squad and there's a decent number of queer folks in that roster. I'm hoping at least one of those will be some wholesome gay content to make up for the heartstab this has been.

re: VC4 spoilers (actually +, also VC1 spoilers?) 

The DLC. The only character from VC1 that's still the same voice is Isara (my bae)

I mean... Rosie and Alecia are definitely the same voice actors as before but holy shit they forgot how to do the voice for the characters.

So, in 1, there's a very 'd-day landing' style mission where Isara comes through with smoke rounds for the tank that make it survivable. 4 takes place at the same time, and the DLC event is before this mission chronologically.

I was really worried when 4's explosive scientist mortar operator Riley and Isara talked. I was expecting the game to be Isara asking for suggestions on what to do and Riley being the brains on it.

Nope! Riley is astounded at the concept and compliments Isara on it. The only flaw? A valve shape. That's all Isara was missing. Fuck yes thank you, let our awesome technician savant stay as cool as she was in VC1 thank you.

VC4 spoilers (fridging) 

Hey guys, thanks for giving us an actually kinda cute gay npc that (at least by japanese writing) feels kinda oka-....wait.

Oh no. I see what we're doing.

So for context: the base you're all in is attacked, squads scatter. End up going through a mountain range to regroup with promised reinforcements from home.

player squad finds and successfully attacks a large enemy supply base (multiple trains travel through during the mission) and restock on drastically low supplies.

Arrive at the rendezvous? All the other squads are dead save the lesbian and her crush (and commanding officer)

Well, sort of. The lesbian is mortally wounded, so the player sqaud all get to stand around and watch the touching goodbye.

And then we have like 10 minutes of cutscenes focused on the officer being deeply upset by the loss of her (HEAVILY implied) lover and squad.... and blames the player squad. Who were slowed by the fucking heavy damage to enemy infrastructure along the way. And who would have died in the assault they'd been holding off too.

OH.

AND THEN the fucking reinforcements show up.

The game fridges the lesbian, in a snowy field, blames the player for not being fast enough (you can't change it) and then the people actually at fault show up to welcoming fanfare.

Fuck I like the game but this whole collection of scenes HURT.

re: possibly problematic sexuality take? 

@minty_da I mean, my only male long lasting character is firmly male in his indenity but like.... one of the most consistently fem-coded characters I have D:

re: possibly problematic sexuality take? 

@weykent ohno, oh shit, have I evolved in my queerness past being able to unironically us the 'lesbiab' meme?

(slightly) modified K-Flay lyrics, been thinking about it A LOT. 

So when I say I love you I want to mean it;
Cause I've said a lot of things that I don't mean;
And when I say I want to I want to mean it;
Cause it's hard to say yes to 'bout anything;

@distressedegg I kinda want this post refined down a bit on a cross stitch.

"draw dicks like one would draw hands,
different for everyone."

public speaking? (++) 

I may be an anxious pile of grabage, but give me 3 minutes to warm up and some loosely prepared ideas and I'll be fine on stage.

But like oh gods don't look at me, in the 5-10 minutes before I go up I can't be reminded I exist.

re: social anxiety, guuhhh brain, conventions (- but maybe some +?) 

@IrisKalmia @distressedegg
I guess my general attitude of "fuck it I've never talked so openly about the queer porn I draw, welcome to a trash witch's ted talk" kinda helped <_<

social anxiety, guuhhh brain, conventions (- but maybe some +?) 

Thinking about that time I was on a con panel for drawing dragons and only showed up with some sharks and kobolds to show off. With some mead in one hand and an energy drink in another.

Panel had one of those rapey sidescroller beat em up fighting games too? As like the first entry?

And somehow people liked me with my no dragons and anxiety??????????????

The fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck?

Trashpost, checkmate flatworlders 

The earth is closeted queer, that's why the horizon LOOKS straight until you go the distance to find the truth.

@Motodrachen I never know how to feel about blunt, straight forward and perfectly correct answers to questions that feel rhetorical when asking them.

Shower done, food, then let's see if I can handle the day.

Straight people being straight, 76 

@Efi oh I got the vibe they say that about every queer character. You know. That sorta thing.
