That extremely trans experience where you can end up taking a Community Elder role in conversations to people twice your age.
@lioness As an ace person I'm getting a novel joy in being the height of corruption kink
@niss Saaaaame
@Moot Someone linked me to https://cohost.org/trans-mom/post/4525080-ceo-of-tumblr-just-t which goes into it
@Moot I know, right?
It's like playing a mystery game every time some new big event takes over tumblr discourse
@Leucrotta yes, absolutely
@Vordus Yeah! I wasn't sure on it at first (when it was heavy on Iron Man/Strange) but as the game branched out it really pulled me in.

@lioness "cladistically debated early triassic archosauriform"
@suricrasia This blog has a lot of good posts about the shittiness of ABA. It's probably not stuff that's news to you >< but sometimes it's affirming to find stuff like that.
@Moot nooo now I miss Blaseball again 😭
Film adaptations: She can be a tragic woobie played by a 20yr old
Me: ...No. Not like that.
Jin Yong: This martial arts crone is a villain with a tragic past that twisted her to vengeance and evil
Me: She should be the protagonist, she has done nothing wrong and I stan this queen 100%
(this has happened multiple times in this series now)
The two core flavours of wuxia:
- The cycle of violence in the martial world is so tragic
- The cycle of violence in the martial world is so silly
Your particular enjoyment will vary wildly based on how much you enjoy weird-ass magical wuxia fights vs how much you can stomach the Song nationalism/filial piety bits.
But if that tradeoff works out then you get a cast of some of the most theatrical wacky characters getting into escalatingly ridiculous setpiece gimmicks, sitcom hijinks and competitions.
I'm really enjoying reading Legend of the Condor Heroes. After like, watching a *lot* of 60s-modern wuxia media, it's where a lot of the recurring beats seem to come from (or, been popularised by).
It is nothing like Lord of the Rings, but I can see why that specific comparison gets made in terms of cultural impact.
@Vordus What does it need power for? (genuinely curious, I only know the 'like a blindfold, but.. a bit comfier' sort)
@anne I poked around the Steam Forum, and it looks like you can resize dialogue, but not UI or descriptions on items/etc.
The Thunderbolt Fantasy films have backstage bloopers & just wide angle shots showing performers yeeting a puppet across the set for a leap or something, and it's so good
All movies should have either a blooper reel or a full-cast singalong at the end of the film
