Peter Sketches

it's like. the episode where buck kisses a man for the first time is about eddie and his friendship with eddie. and the subsequent episode dealing with the fallout, which is also the last episode to do any meaningful exploration into his sexuality, is also about eddie. the only non-comedic coming out scene he gets is with eddie. and this is not even good! this is not a ship win! i would so much rather this storyline be afforded the weight it deserves. I don't think it should be about anyone but him, even if there are feelings there. and then he does nothing for the rest of season seven. he starts eight with the perfect opportunity to explore this newfound label of his (friction with known and established bigot gerard) and then he just. doesn't do any of that. and they proceed to make every other storyline this season (!!!) with the exception of an unserious halloween sl. about eddie and his relationship with eddie. they refuse to dedicate any screentime to his actual romantic relationship and have them break up because of perceived romantic tension between him and eddie. and then they end the season with no change in their friendship, no new insights, just a waste of time. as a shipper I'm annoyed by the lack of follow through, yes, but I'm more annoyed that they let their desire to bait their fans prevent them from doing any meaningful plotline with the ideas they were actually willing to commit to. and if i didn't ship them i would probably be even more pissed, but to have that discussion starts with admitting that 1) this is blatant and obvious bait. and 2) the show's inability to commit to or face the obvious undertones of their own writing is actively harming the queer representation that is present. pretending as though queer fans don't have a right to be pissed about that, not just Buck's storylines these past seasons but Hen's as well, is helping no one but the network.

I've been itching to draw Coco in one of her special outfits for so long 🤧 something about the fashion in this manga I swear....

DIVA OFF IF YOU WILL

I think origin-discourse is stupid.

I’ve known I was plural for 4 years now. In the “real world” (If there is such a thing) I am afraid. I never speak about it outside closed doors. I have never met another system irl. I long, desperately, clawing at the floor with wet eyes begging the gods that someone like me is out there.

This is a large terror. All encompassing. Plurality is my whole life, yet it’s impossible to talk about it in the world. It’s not safe. Never was.

So - what. What? What if the first system I meet is anti-endo? What if we have different opinions on this discourse?

Do you understand how small this is? It’s such a small trait in the grand scheme of things. I do not care if you’re pro- or anti-endo. I care that you’re alive and here. No one cares about your origin! No one gives a shit! You’re stuck in an echo chamber! Stop hating others to feel safety!

WE ARE NOT OPPRESSED BECAUSE OF HOW WE FORMED. WE ARE OPPRESSED BECAUSE WE ARE DIFFERENT, PERIOD.

i've seen quite a bit of confusion about this, so let me attempt to clear things up :

empathy is the ability to feel somebody's emotions as though they are affecting you personally. for example, somebody tells you "my dog died last night!" -> you now feel as though you've lost a pet personally -> you feel grief and sadness just like the other person. not everyone has empathy. it's a trait some people develop and others don't. some have high empathy, some have low empathy, some (like me) have none.

sympathy is the ability to understand and care about somebody else's struggles, even if you don't feel them yourself. so, somebody tells you their dog died -> you realize how this affects them emotionally -> you care about this person, and are upset that they are suffering. not everyone has sympathy either! it's a scale, just like empathy.

compassion is doing something to relieve another person's suffering or make them feel better. somebody tells you their dog died -> you don't want them to remain upset -> you come up with ways to help them feel better, like offering comfort and distractions, or other forms of support. compassion is a learned trait, not something you can be born with like empathy or sympathy. anyone can learn to be compassionate, although some may struggle more with it than others; it's a skill, just like anything else.

however, none of these are required to be a good person. that's a choice you make on your own accord. i hope this clears things up!
