untitled goose game works because if i was playing a human person i would still feel terrible for attacking people at random and stealing their possessions even though i know that neither i nor they are real, but since i'm doing all of that as my bastardsona i feel that it is not only my right but my duty to inflict as much havoc and mild vexation as possible on the unsuspecting population of NPCs

human brain: making people's lives harder for no good reason is cruel and wrong

goose brain: no gods no masters no conscience no compassion. only bastard.

Being in a long-term fandom really makes me wish we had like, Fandom Supreme Courts, just so that every time the same stupid discourse rears its ugly head for the umpteenth time in ten years, we can just be like, “Actually this argument was settled in the 2006 Fandom Supreme Court ruling in the case of AngelPotter vs. Xx_goth1c-r0se_xX, so everbody can shut up about it now.” Imagine the wank reduction.

i didn’t know this til i looked up the video on youtube, but this dude is a super cool and accomplished musician! his name is Rushad Eggleston–wikipedia describes him as “an innovative musician who has changed the way the cello is played,“ but according to his personal website he’s a “cello goblin & otherworldly jester currently touring earth”

Okay so like. I’ve got a few things to say so I’ll probably break this post up into 2 parts. If you disagree with what I say that’s fine I can’t force y’all to have common sense but don’t bother arguing because I’ll just block you

Alright

1. A lot of us in the fandom currently were not new to fruits basket before the reboot began. A lot of us are adults who grew up with it and have come back to it now that the story is being done justice. Furuba veterans as we like to say. But because the series is being completely redone, there are kids who are just now discovering furuba due to it not being as relevant in the anime/manga fan spaces as they were growing up. A lot of new furuba fans are young and interacting with older furuba fans. This can be said about every fandom but seeing as this was already a once beloved series years ago I feel as if this especially applies to the furuba fanbase. All of this being said.

‘Furuba veterans’/Adults in the furuba fandom. Y’all have got to be careful with how you’re interacting with these new kids. Because from what I’ve seen it’s already becoming an issue. I had to DM someone who was 26 the other day and inform them that someone who they were going back and forth with asks about nsfw headcanons for kyo//ru, was 15 years old, and it said so in their description. The person profusely apologized, assured me that they had no clue and deleted the asks and I genuinely believe they just didn’t think to check, an honest mistake. But simple mistakes like that can 1. Expose minors to stuff that adults absolutely should not be exposing them to and 2. Get some of y’all in serious trouble no matter your intentions/knowledge. I’m not gonna name this person or put them on blast because they clearly were mistaken and immediately cut all contact with the kid, as one should. But this is only one of many examples of some of these older fans mindlessly discussing straight up p*rnographic materials with kids.

Be more careful.

2. Another messages to my fellow adult furuba fans. STOP treating the series as if it is absolutely immune to any sort of criticism, and yes, that includes criticisms from people who have never watched the series, read the manga, criticisms coming from people who are straight up uncomfortable with furuba as a series. People are allowed to dislike furuba because of the pedophilic and abusive relationships that are romanticized.

A lot of the people who y’all insist on arguing with are minors who are uncomfortable with those types of relationships being portrayed as okay. I don’t think I need to tell you why a grown person going out of their way to tell someone in their teens that they’re wrong to be uncomfortable with a pedophilic relationship being portrayed as romantic, is fucking weird. Furuba has its issues and people are allowed to acknowledge them. Hell, I would never recommend furuba to someone without warning them of these types of themes being prevalent because god knows I had no clue when I first went in and was super grossed out.

Stop telling kids they shouldn’t be uncomfortable with these dynamics or I will personally break your kneecaps. No matter your intentions it looks downright predatory. Get it together.

Okay I’m done

You can’t rebuild a burnt bridge back to it’s original state. You can only keep the strongest remaining elements, and make the rest from scratch. Your relationship is like this- there are pieces you can always rely on. Others, you will need to figure out as if for the first time, no matter how long you think you’ve known already

One of the biggest power moves I have here in the midwest when someone is being racist, sexist, homophobic is that I tell them that I’ll pray for them so that god can grace them with empathy, or that “I feel sorry the devil has made his home in your heart” cause you have not felt joy until you’ve flipped the script on a suburban house mom or an old racist white man.  The joy of watching their face in shock and confusion while they’re called out in Christian Standards the same way they try to cover for their homophobia is amazing.  100% suggest it, at the very least it gets them to shut the fuck up.

Oh to be a gremlin child again. Covered in grass stains and grazes, hair unbrushed with daisies in the knots, no concept of my own physicality, half way up a tree and eating an apple around my missing tooth. To be unabashedly ugly, to be unashamedly hungry, to be healthy and hearty and lean and covered in bruises and full of love and sun warmed strawberries. To feel time stretch forever, only flying when I fall into books. To love summer once more, and her insects and sweat.
