LGBTQ+ folk what was your gender/sexuality pipeline?

this happens like five times in game

oh yeah i had a fucked up dream about animal crossing where they released a new game and one of the features that was added in response to the criticism that the villagers were too bland in new horizons was that each villager had a personal quest you could do to learn more about them as individuals and it would usually be something pretty heartfelt but simple bevause there's like 400 of those cunts to account for. but i was doing gaston's quest and his quest was that he needed to have a drink delivered to him as fast as possible. like you literally only had 10 seconds to find him to deliver him this drink. if you delivered it in time he would just be like "oh thanks i really needed that" and all would be good. but if you failed to find him in time the next time you interacted with him he would literally fucking kill himself by drinking bleach in front of you with the game screen turning to static and then showing close ups of him slowly dying and choking and in agony. and them for the next day everybody would be "shame what happened to gaston :(" but would never comment on what the fuck happened and would move on the day after that. tje game would act like he just moved away. i've never even had gaston in any of my animal crossing towns in any of the games so idek why my dream singled him out to have this fucked up event?? i have no opinions on this guy i forget he exists most of the time??? and he fucking looks like this

process commentary :3

苗木君ごめんなさい…

Sayaka Miki is a character whose, depending on who you ask, either her primary or secondary role, is walking the path of a volatile teenage girl who does not understand the way the world works, much less one involving magic, and denied grace from others because of her reactive nature. Of course it is relatable that a character who needs an abundance of understanding and compassion is also one who harshly rejects it; there was no tangible way for Sayaka to accept such a gesture when she was cornered by her own ideals and afraid of the ensuing shame with admittance that she is Wrong. Because things that are wrong to Sayaka cannot be written off as “okay”.

In any case, it’s self-loathing for her failures as a protective figure, a concept incompatible with her prior grasp on goodness, power, and responsibility. The vilification of her character as an unnecessarily angry girl due to heartbreak is not wholly inaccurate, but does not cover the underlying problems she carries as presented by the narrative. Most of her issues are birthed from her clinging to what is most acceptable to others, but her actions do not reflect these qualities, and she was never taught how to reconcile this dichotomy in herself, far too entrenched by her perception that the world of potential and magic she admired so deeply has betrayed her, and when magic isn’t enough to solve problems and they come in physical forms of people frowning upon her methods, I do not think there was ever a chance she could have properly internalised all those aspects together.

Some people are actually ashamed or bashful to admit that they find such a character relatable because of her flaws, but these flaws are realistic precisely as they are unacceptable by others in this world. Trying to be an exceptional human when you keep stumbling, both in actions and words, pretending to be someone you are not - that is why the mermaid returns to the sea.
