  • The exact number is unknown but they show up in a lot of bases in the region, so its safe to assume they have quite a few. The real question is whether or not they have enough to replace losses.

  • Truly one of my guiltymost pleasures, and poor Tsurugi is trapped in it, forever.

  • (CW: Transphobia, Child Abuse) How Do We Talk About Trans Kids?

    Jump

  • Ok so no, actually.

    Tsurugi is a weirdly nuanced character for a gatcha game about collecting anime schoolgirls. The internal conflict the character faces is that she is feared, respected, and supported in her life as the leader of a paramilitary organization but finds social interactions outside of her inner circle to be confusing and overwhelming, which impedes her desire to "be more like all the other girls". She's very neurodivergent-coded and I can heavily relate to the struggle to have for oneself the experiences one sees as having missed out on. I was really surprised when I read her arc in the game because it was kind of sweet and the otakubait creepyness was fairly minimal. Sadly, I think she's a victim of the changes made to BlArchive's creative direction early on in its life cycle. She's in the highest rarity tier for the regular drop pools and got an event-limited swimsuit variant almost immediately after launch (and the story in that one is about her girliepops taking her to see the ocean and its super super sweet) but in the five years since then she hasn't been featured much at all. Meanwhile, one of her besties in the lowest rarity tier became a prominently featured character due to fan responses. The silver lining to this unpopularity is that the SFW fanart crowds out the super gross porn, more popular characters get more NSFW in the NSFW:SFW ratio... I think.

  • Well I knew this day would come eventually.

    It is a drawing of Kenzaki Tsurugi (a character from a trashy gacha game) a friend of mine drew for me a while back.

    I've been collecting sfw fanarts of her for years and find her relatable.

  • "There are no neutral actions in the web of karma."

    I will be stealing this. Thank you. The rest of what you said was also very inspiring, without medical intervention the body will take actions that will cause lasting harm to the child. Navigating the line between revealing enough to give an authentic description of a lived experience and overexposing traumatic details is intimidating but I think that route may be necessary for a discussion like this. Its been said that narratives win hearts and minds better than facts do.

    of course my internalized transphobia is still caked on in places, it can be hard to imagine how the trauma could matter to others while I reflexively downplay it to myself

    Wow! Thank you! I'm sorry for how long it took to get back to you on this, I am the WORST when it comes to written correspondence sometimes. I too first discovered OceanLab back in the dayTM before forgetting and then rediscovering it a little while back and then getting totally hooked on them. If you liked that I can also highly recommend Group Therapy by Above & Beyond.

  • This was very powerful and gave me a lot to chew on regarding my own experiences as a trans person. Thank you, I feel that is a fairly compelling answer to what kind of difference a delayed transition makes.

  • Oh interesting, and when you bring up precocious puberty how exactly do you circle it back to the trans experience? I bring it up too but maybe theres some nuances I'm missing.
