What I've Been Up To The Past 20 Minutes

That’s exactly what I thought about his speech as well!

I mean, Jayce was literally straight up telling Viktor that he was always beautiful to him. With all of his different sides, problems and quirks. Including his disability. Differently than Viktor, I think it’s pretty clear that he never saw Viktor’s disability as anything that made him “lesser” than anyone else. Sure, he wanted to help Viktor “fix” his illness so he could like, LIVE. But he never wanted to turn Viktor into someone non-disabled, he didn’t see the need for it, because Viktor’s disability is simply a part of him, not a problem to “fix” and forget about. Jayce’s entire speech is pretty much a rejection of that the idea of perfection that Viktor seemingly carried with himself for years.

Pretty much “You don’t need to be perfect to be lovable, you don’t need to be perfect for me to love you. Because if you were perfect, you wouldn’t be YOU.”

I don’t often make my own posts, but I’ve been going a little insane about some of the posts I’ve been seeing about Jayce’s speech to Viktor in the finale.

So many people are like “um, Viktor had a terminal illness, how can Jayce tell him he was never broken??? He was DYING??”

And like, yeah. He was. But this isn’t Jayce ignoring that.

He’s acknowledging it by telling Viktor: You aren’t defined by your illness. You might have felt like you were lesser, or broken, or imperfect because of it, but I need you to know that you’re worth just as much as anyone else. And I understand everything you’ve done, because you’ve been hurting. And I love you anyway.

He’s not saying “your illness didn’t matter”. He’s saying “just because you were disabled doesn’t mean you’re worth less”.

I thought it was actually a really beautiful way of tackling the way that people who are disabled or chronically ill are viewed by others, or even by themselves: either defined entirely by their disability/illness, or considered lesser. Or how disabled/ill people are only allowed to be happy and inspirational messages that people can do anything, or they have to be sad figures incapable of anything and only deserving of pity. And this is Jayce saying no, that isn’t all you are. He’s showing Viktor that he sees all of the complexity, and the hurt, and he sees ALL of who Viktor is.

Anyway, I’m tired, and this isn’t all articulated perfectly, but I wanted to throw it out there.

it is truly the best kind <3

mullet obi-wan kenobi is the best thing in this world

Let’s go!

not might. it is <3

hey guys i think music might be love

WE ARE SOOO CLOSE!! SIGN THIS PETITION SO WE CAN GET IT TO HOYOVERSE BEFORE NATLAN COMES OUT!! The erasure and whitewash of the Latin American and places like Nigeria in west Africa culture is undeniably disrespectful. BUT WE AS A PLAYER BASE CAN DO SOMETHING AND EDUCATE HOYOVERSE. A LOT of people use the excuse that “there are light skinned people in ___ culture!” But there are also darker skinned people apart of the culture too, so why not implement that in the game? Before Natlan is released, I implore you, PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION AND THEN EMAIL HOYOVERSE AT genshin_cs@hoyoverse.com

The above pictures are steps on how to send a proper email to hoyoverse asking to fix Natlan!

REBLOG TO SPREAD IT

JUDGE HIM HARDER

the way I relate to this soooo much <3

Gender is so weird guys

I'm one of the girls, I'm a girl's girl and I'll cry if you say I'm not, but I'm not a girl's girl.

I'm also Just Some Guy, y'know? I'm a little weirdo, a freak, a little girl with dirt on his knees and fire in his eyes.

I'm her husband but I'm also her girlfriend.

I'm neither a man nor a woman but a weird recluse writer who lives on the edge of a cliff where its always stormy.

I dress like an alt older brother from an early 2000's movie but also like a 90's lesbian (sometimes it's the same outfit).

In conclusion, labels are weird. I'm a boyfriend and a girlfriend, a husband but not a wife, a girl but not a woman, a guy, a man, a friend.

All that being said, he/him and they/them are still very much my pronouns (never she/her).

Peace and love!!

what if we kissed while the two musical motifs representing our characters overlapped, complimenting each other perfectly

they didn’t even fucking apologize you dipshit

This is fascinating for two reasons.

1. They haven’t actually apologised for anything. She’s pre-emptively rejecting an apology that they have no intention of giving.

2. Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson are extremely well-liked. A lot of people are more attached to them in their roles as they are to the actual characters in the books.

What does JK Rowling gain by coming out with this?
