Today, on: Wierdly wholesome things in the shop!

My master tech (the one I'm apprenticed to) who is a 70 smth year old white guy, heard some of the other techs making transphobic jokes and told them to knock it off, He then looked at me and gave this adorable little reassuring smile

Thanks, J. You're the best <3

All aspec folks:

I'm atomoromantic and I've only felt attraction towards a girl, which made me think I'm inclined sapphic, but I'm also graysexual and these attractions happened towards very specific man (only two) and the girl mentioned before, so, do you have any ideas about what I may be? I know I don't need to label myself, but my autistic ass likes labels. (I also feel very unconfortable when I think about sex or feel sexual attraction, so it confuses me even more)

Great. I am dying from demons

First thing you see after you zoom in is how you die

How you dying 👀

Yeah, I still don't like Arlecchino.

Yes, they has reasons to do what they does. Yes, they has a traumatic past and is an abuse survivor. Yes, they took in many of the kids from incredibly dangerous situations, including Lyney and Lynette. Yes, they hate Dottore and his experiments.

And they still is a bad person.

First of all, they is a war criminal. That can already be a very good reason for someone to not be a good person (it's not a reason for a character to not be likable, I like Tartaglia for example). Second, they is literally raising child soldiers and spies, which is very fucked up. Third, abuse happens in many different ways, just because they is not like the original Knave it does not mean they is not an abuse perpetrator. And, fourth, the House of the Hearth is a cult. During the entire quest I was very schoked about how fucking brainwashed all the member were, and how those trying to break free would literally be killed. And, no, like Arlecchino said, they didn't live in the end because they had their memories wiped and turned completely different people, so there would be no risk of them telling anyone the "dark secrets" of the House of the Hearth. Also, even though the quest really wanted to make me see Alrecchino in a positive light, I can't stand someone who is willing to kill those they says as their children (yes, they was willing to kill the "traitors"). And many people can assure you that many times, abusers and manipulators can grow fond of you, even when they are activelly choosing to hurt you (ask most people with abusive parents. Many times, the parents "loved" or thought they loved them and still did all they did)

Arlecchino is incredibly well-written and complex, I'm not saying they is not. They is an amazing character while being a terrible person and an abusive parent.

There is a subtitle above the man's hand that says, white letters in black background: "As long as you're learning, you're not failing". End of description]
