I intend this blog to be a safe & friendly space for the following groups. If it’s not for whatever reason please (gently) let me know.

  • LGBTQ+ (including microlabels and especially aros who are aplatonic, low/no empathy, and/or loveless)
  • POC/indigenous/etc
  • Neurodivergent (including psychosis, NPD, systems, schizophrenia, etc) (Edit: by this I mean that I won’t rb anything that seems to make fun of hallucinations/systems/etc, not that I guarantee a safe space in terms of triggers. For example, I do try to tag unreality but forget a lot, so if you need that tagged,you may not want to follow.)
  • Jewish ppl
  • Disabled ppl
  • Sex workers
  • Generally people who get shit on for doing/believing something that doesn’t actually hurt anyone (Yes this includes that community, because they’re not actually hurting anyone. No this does not include nazis/terfs/truscum/etc, because they are actually hurting someone. Feel free to send an ask/DM if you’re confused about this)
  • Probably other groups I’m not remembering in this moment

Tl;dr no identity policing, cringe culture, or bigotry here.

Further notes:

  • You’re welcome to interact, but I often use this site when I’m too physically and/or mentally tired to do anything else (especially socialize) so I may not respond.
  • I try to trigger tag (with “tw _____”) and find/make image descriptions but don’t always have the energy.
  • The only guarantees I make are that any images I post myself will have descriptions .
  • I also sometimes rb long posts I didn’t necessarily read all of (but skimmed and thought it seemed fine). Please let me know if terfy/fascist/etc stuff gets on my blog.
  • Edit: Hey new users, if you have no reblogs I will block you because you look like a bot.

a criticism I see of sao is often along the lines of “what’s the message? that video games are better than real life? that being trapped in the game was Good, Actually? that doesn’t apply to real life at all. that’s a useless thought experiment akin to contemplating the ethics of fucking your clone.”

the way the aincrad arc was about how you have to find love and happiness in the here & now, no matter how bleak things are. because when fighting for a cause, it’s so easy to deny yourself joy until that far-off dream is achieved; you tell yourself you’ll rest after you’ve saved enough money for early retirement. or when capitalism is over and homelessness eradicated. or when you’ve finally reached peak physical form. or when the war is over.

but so many people die before that happens. or they live to see it but shortly succumb to trauma or just the ravages of time. all those years spent fighting for your cause, but now you’ve won you’re an adult and you never had a chance to have any semblance of a childhood. or now you’ve grown so accustomed to misery, you don’t know how to treat happiness- so accustomed to pressure and hatred, you’re cruel and harsh to the people around you.

in sao, life went on, in its strange way. people went fishing. they got married. they cooked and ate for pleasure. they did quests and events for fun. people sarcastically say “they’re trapped in a death game and all they can think about is buying a cottage and fucking?” as if there wasn’t a very direct reasoning for this in the plot. them experiencing a sort of burnout, as well as distrust in the system as it was. them realising their own mortality, that they could be killed any day now; that it’s better to die in love than to die miserable.
