@typhlosion i still think my favorite thing is the word for "ankles" (足首)

足 - foot
首 - neck

in japanese, ankles are "foot necks"

all the stats, movelists, pokedex data, and everything else has been brought into the game, and they replace the squirtle line

the unfortunate part about that is that most of the moves these very good pokemon learn are not actually in gen 1, so it's a little hard to use them

i did give them mega punch and mega kick though!

...and finally, samurott!

...and dewott!

since most of the work went into the spritework, here is what oshawott looks like:

this is actually playable btw! you just need to compile it~

(oshawott day is march 10th every year, which it currently is in japan)

i finished the first version of pokemon blue: oshawott edition in time for oshawott day!

@Motodrachen i agree that the stigma for autism is bad and that a lot of benefits autism gives people are overlooked, but i feel like running with the idea that there's a small subset of humanity that's superior to the rest from an evolutionary standpoint is, well, not exactly great

@Feufochmar they are very, very close, so i wouldn't be surprised if they were rendered exactly the same on most things

@rufflebat thank you. that means a lot to me

i guess i am be a bit self-exclusionary, aren't i?

i know that if i saw someone else with my opinion, i would probably tell them that they deserve happiness too--but i think i have a double-standard for myself because i don't want to step on the toes of anyone who has actual "real" problems that i can't begin to understand because of my relative privilege

it feels like i'm trying to show respect by lowering the value of my problems, but i guess it also hurts others in my position because i'm basically saying that their problems aren't worth it either by extension, huh?

i mean, i'm actually demi, and possibly pan (i haven't experienced enough sexual attraction to be sure) but i also kind of convince myself that because i pass as "likely cishet", that i have no real perspective on the problems of other groups, so the fact that my kink actually affects my happiness more than my entire sexuality identity does is just a "wrong thing i'm feeling" that's lowkey problematic to other aces

this means that even discussing my own feelings feels problematic, because something seems to be a bigger deal to me personally, which feels like an extremely disrespectful comparison, or i'm downplaying the problems of people who are in my position

older picture, but i really enjoy these diapers..!

@rufflebat yeah, this does make sense, especially considering how sexuality is distinct from sex

like, hugging an SO, or even having one to begin with are a part of sexuality--but they aren't sex itself, and there's a real hetronormative status quo about what sexuality is "acceptable" in public

but i feel like these discussions are about sexuality as a whole instead of specifically "sex acts" which i feel many people think kinks specifically are

actually, this is part of why i was trying to differentiate kinks from sex itself--especially since, for me, they aren't related at all

they only ever become related by *my* own combinative efforts, when i very specifically link my kinks to lewd ideas intentionally because it seems like it would be fun--but that's not what i'm thinking most of the time i'm living this way

and that's why i wanted to talk about consent specifically; because sexuality is visible by default, but sex *acts* should always require consent--which means when people consider kinks lewd things, I would never want to overstep the bounds of consent without explicit permission

kink-positivity affects my happiness very directly

but what exactly ARE kinks? and do they even slightly deserve the compassion i wish others had for them?

i don't want to equate this to any marginalized group because that seems extremely disrespectful, but i'd be lying if i said i wasn't at least a little jealous of efforts to protect them, and wish that my own predicaments had some level of support too

but i'm worried that feeling isn't justifiable
