So do you think that Lord English, Doc Scratch, and Caliborn represents more traditional views of the Devil, as in a unredeemable asshole. And Vriska represents a more modern version of it, as in a jerk antihero.

I don’t really know enough mythology to say. I think Vriska MIGHT draw some inspiration from Lilith, who by some accounts is maybe described as a blue butterfly, if I remember right?

If any troll is a Satan figure though it’s definitely gamzee. I don’t really see much about Vriska that resonates with the archetype.

A Kirby game by yoko taro

thebuttkingpost:

Ending A: Kirby stops the greedy king deedeedee from stealing food from the innocent citizens of dreamland!

Ending B: set after the events of ending A, an underground race of mole people burrows up from planet pop star and conquers the galaxy, time skip to 176,000 years later, Kirby has been transformed by his gluttony into a massive machine that consumes planets who an old and tired meta knight must slay. Joining him is a waddledee who expounds trivia about the digestive tract of a human being

Ending C: rather than destroying the planet eating Kirby, meta knight betrays the waddledee and joins his old friend and rival to consume the whole of the known universe. After being defeated by meta knight the waddledee’s final statement is “pancreas”. The final shot is Kirby heading towards a planet with the exact geography of A link to the past.

Ending D: meta knight enters kirby’s core and finds his original body still in tact. After fighting off various skyscraper sized “antibodies” meta knight manages to free Kirby from his gigantic shell. Seeing meta knight face to face in tens of thousands of years drives Kirby mad with guilt and he plunges himself into a wormhole to dimensions unknown.

Later it would be revealed in three novellas, an impromptu street performance and a roll of toilet paper that yoko taro wrote on that by entering the worm hole, Kirby traveled to a dimension outside of time where he eventually learns to manipulate historical events. He starts by destroying the progenitor of the mole people making it so that only the events of ending A occurred. Unfortunately in doing so, he wipes his current self from existence. His last thoughts before ceasing to be are a desire to see his friends again and to have a slice of cake. Afterwards the game deletes itself from the cartridge.

This is why TERFs are right wing.

Effing literally “Drop the T” is a radfem/TERF popular tag.

TERFs are right in lockstep with the right wing as long as trans lives suffer.

A direct quote from the article:

“Attendees were also told to wrap their transphobic rhetoric in the language of feminism, claiming gender identity is a concept offensive to women.”

what this also means: if someone is putting transphobia in feminist language while also not having a basic understanding of other feminist principles, if the extent of their feminist organizing is that, they may well be a christian right plant.

conference speeches aren’t where new tactics are invented. if they’re recommending it at a conference, it’s because they’ve been doing it, and it’s been effective.

Also folks, if you look at your history books, you’ll see that dividing and conquering is a tactic used, SUCCESSFULLY for hundreds of years. And every time, it sets back progress. Don’t fall for this. Break the cycle.

If you truly are a part of the community you would never be trans exclusionary. Dont let them brainwash you. We are only safe united.

Not witchcraft related, but THIS! NEEDS! MORE! ATTENTION!
