At precisely 13:50 on September 11, 1973, Gen. Javier Palacios sent a succinct message of six words from the Presidential Palace of La Moneda in Santiago de Chile to his superiors in the [USA] Armed Forces who had, that very morning, launched a coup d’état against the democratically elected government of President Salvador Allende.

Misión cumplida. Moneda tomada. Presidente muerto.

“Mission accomplished. La Moneda has been secured. The president is dead.”

Text: Main character says that discrimination is bad. Narrative insists that people should all be treated with respect.

Subtext: [the only queer people in-story are portrayed as unpleasant people and antagonistic to the main characters. The main antagonist is a 'psycho lesbian' archetype]

My reading: The author is a hypocrite and an asshole.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Okay, this is it. The big reveal. The final answers at the end of the road.

Tomorrow I mark my tenth year on this site and fandom. I started watching the series and reading the fics a bit before the date, but joining here marks a nice date to remember anyways.

Well, that. In about seven days (don't ask me about hours), it's going to be one decade since I joined this site, was reading avidly and writing obsessively, sleep hours be dammed.

I have nothing prepared for the occasion, though. Maybe I'll publish the sketchbooks for the unfinished stories. Or the ones for the ones I never got around writing. IDK.

Are there any queer friendly groups in this site?

I just saw a couple of threads on a couple of groups (no need to bring too much attention to those) that ended up brimming with queerphobia in general and transphobia in particular. And I'm tired. I may have come out fairly recently (two-three years now?), but I've seen enough queerphobia in my life for the rest of it.

I can't wait to watch this movie. It looks pretty funny, but also with something to say. Kinda like the Lego Movie, and has Will Ferrell too. Good sign.

The could have used Barbie Girl by Aqua through the entire trailer but held onto it until the last moment. I think they know what they're doing.

Okay, cards on the table, I feel this trailer finally hit the "too gory" threshold for me, and I really hope the actual game isn't as focused on the gorn as the trailer.

But with that said, Mileena got confirmed right off the gate, so I'm not gonna complain either.

She was an amazing companion and I'm really going to miss her.

Disney, ordinarily, fuck you, but also, good luck against the nazi. Go fuck yourselves.
