This one's been getting at least a couple notes every day since I posted it and I don't remember the last time I had a post that was consistently still getting seen by new people over a week later
Fills me with great joy :)
@coriander ah yes the very cis behavior of having all your game characters as girls yep been there
@agatha @coriander omg, I would ALWAYS play as girls before my bi awakening, because I felt like it was the only way for me to socially acceptably play a character I find pretty
now i'm always playing as pretty boys
@agatha @coriander totally not something I've done. Yep, of course not.
@coriander this warms my heart so much
@coriander@elekk.xyz mad envy from this post ngl
@coriander will I become Wario?
@coriander@elekk.xyz One of my charges gets so into the characters. They are their role models. They are the avatars of their best selves - under duress but playing a game *there's actually a chance of winning with set rules*.
Playing is how we learn. We can learn to see ourselves as powerful
@coriander @hypnobeard I don’t have red hair (like my characters all did) but fuck if I haven’t had those same moments
@coriander@elekk.xyz love love LOVE this
@coriander it all started with me making a lesbian pirate in saints row the third, and now i have boobs
@pigeonrose Unlocked the real life boob slider
@coriander life imitates art!
