He/Him, Late 20s, 🏳️‍🌈 -- Just a day at a time

People say that Vassago’s presence in Stolas’s backstory retconned this dialogue, but Stolas is speaking in present tense. Vass sprung the idea of just running away right as he was about to accept his duties. It’s decades later that Stolas wants that escapism now.

Stolas: You wanna know what I want? I want to know what it's like, to not be alone. I want to be someone's someone. I want to feel wanted. But like, in a romantic way, like I'm standing out in the rain at a train station and someone is shouting: “Harriet! Don't get on that train, it's going to London and I cannot be without you!”

[As Stolas continues the dramatic declaration, he stands up, catching the party goers' attention. Blitzo quickly covers his face to avoid being noticed. The party goers go back to what they were doing.]

Blitzo: Oh, Stolas, that's... a rom-com.

Stolas: [sits back down] Oh, fuck you. The point is, I just... want someone to care if I stay or go. I want someone to want... me! To want to see me. To hold me. To look at me and think "You're the only one I want!" [sheds tears] "I desire to hold you and talk to you, and never let you feel so..."

You know what I’m not worried about? Stolago. Bc even if they try each other on real quick, Stolas’s anguish when he yelled ‘Blitz!’ at that auction was palpable. That is Lover’s Worry, not just ‘Roommates’ or ‘Friends’ But also? Vassago is a treasure hunter. He finds lost things

I think to date the best lesson I’ve learned to live by truly is the classic “actions speak louder than words” because when you keep that into account it’s so much easier to see through bullshit. ✨

It is generally good life advice that if you ever hear some "everyone knows" third party gossip about a trans creator or public figure, your 1st instinct should be to disbelieve it, your 2nd instinct should be NOT to pass it on, and 3rd to check VERY THOROUGHLY who's saying it and where it came from

One of the worst parts of being a creator, especially a trans one, is watching disinformation about you spread from bad actors to other folks like a bad game of telephone so you see people literally judge you on shit you never said/did or is completely opposite to the point you were making.

I find after having finished og FF7 a couple of weeks ago, I find myself listening most to Aerith's Theme more than any other song from the soundtrack. The entire ost is pretty much gold imo, don't get me wrong, but I find myself reflecting on how much I appreciate her as her own character and

I genuinely mean this. I cannot imagine a more bleak dystopian notion than the idea of all art being turned into slop designed to coddle my exact perceived intentions. The point of literature, film, music, and art is to be exposed to the interior lives of others. Who are these people.

maybe i'm old fashion but the coolest thing about video games is being taken to new worlds that i hadn't thought up and experiencing something exciting that the artists behind the game want to show me
