shitposting rave 4: (almost) anything goes

What exactly is the meaning 9f "ace"? It is very bad f9rm to use termin9l9gy that y9ur partner is n9t familiar with and n9t pr9vide a definiti9n. I'm assuming 6ased 9n c9ntext it means the same as "celi6ate", aka ch99sing t9 a6stain fr9m quadrantic relati9ns, 69th c9ncupiscent and c9ncilliat9ry. P9ssi6ly an inf9rmal 9r der9gat9ry human slang term f9r such?

As f9r the t9pic 9f "memes", I'm sure th9se wh9 created them never f9rsaw them leaving the human cultural c9ntext in which they were created. Ripped fr9m this c9ntext, they n9 l9nger serve the niche they ev9lved t9 fill and it is inappr9priate f9r a tr9ll t9 casually use such st9len cultural artifacts.

 

Jade wo+men like myself. Named fo+r o+ur blo+o+d co+lo+r. We're o+ne o+f the predo+minantly female castes in Befo+ran, and Alternian, society. In bo+th cases, tro+lls o+f my blo+o+d co+lo+r are the o+nly o+nes held to+ be able to+ tend to+ the Mo+ther Grub. We're vital to+ o+ur species repro+ductio+n as a result. The wo+nderful caveat o+f this is that we're fo+rced to+ do+ this. Yo+u co+me o+f age, enter yo+ur fluids into+ the gene po+o+l at least o+nce, and then it is do+wn under the surface into+ the Bro+o+ding Caverns. No+ ifs, ands, o+r buts. You can see why I have a bit o+f an issue with this. I wanted a life, but I wasn't allo+wed o+ne.

Even when it seemed like I might be I wasn't allo+wed. Funny ho+w fate wo+rks.

Kanny, I'm pro+bably the o+nly perso+n who+ actually reads the things. Or did at o+ne po+int. After a while they began to+ blur a bit to+gether, and I go+t mo+re than a little irate with ho+w little co+nsideratio+n yo+u give my ideas. I've to+ld yo+u time and again that, yes, the culling system is a pro+blem. Yo+ur grievances aren't po+intless where the system is co+ncerned. My pro+blem is that yo+u to+ss aside the very real fact that all the peo+ple making and upho+lding the laws were males fro+m male do+minated castes. Female do+minated castes meanwhile were thrust into+ incredibly strict ro+les. Ones with ceremo+nial ho+no+r, yes, but actual po+wer? That sure as hell isn't mine, and I still do+n't believe it was hers either. No+, I have to+ go+ to+ the caverns and be a go+o+d little girl and the few males we do+ have have to+ deal with issues like fo+rced feminizatio+n and fetishizatio+n.

It's no+t that I do+n't think yo+u have po+ints at times. It's that I'm tired that yo+u never o+ffer me the same level o+f respect.

I am indeed a Maryam. A Po+rrim Maryam, to+ be specific. Or I guess a Carlo+s no+w.

 

Different Empire and different tro+lls. The Empress yo+u're thinking o+f is the Alternian Empress. We're fro+m the universe that resulted in that universe. We weren't able to+ win the game, o+r really pro+gress at all and had to+ scratch the sessio+n. To+tal universe reset, basically. Kankri and I are Befo+rans. Cro+nus and Mituna, to+o+.

 

PORRIM FITS A LITTLE BETTER, BUT IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE A CARLOS BE MY GUEST??

A NEW NAME SWEEPS THE DREAMBUBBLES BY STORM! THE CULPRITS? THE MARYAM FORMERLY KNOWN AS PORRIM AND THE ILL-CONSIDERED ANTICS OF THE VANTAS CURRENTLY KNOWN AS KARKAT. THE UNIVERSE WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

 

"Uh...thanks?" She smiles uncertainly. "I'm Gwendolyn Northwest."

"'Ace' as in 'asexual'. It's not derogatory, given that all the aces I know use it. But you're not my partner, if I have a partner at all it's probably Jezebel. And I'm pretty sure we don't actually even speak the same language, so...sorry if the translation algorithm's not working right?"

"That's totally unfair." Gwendolyn frowns.

"Thanks. I'm not sure about the game you're talking about, and I thought all the Cronuses came from the same place...but that helps a lot!"

 

If y9u had ever sh9wn evidence that the gender skew in certain castes affected levels 9f privilege in 9f itself instead 9f merely 6eing a quirk 9f 6i9l9gy that c9rrelated much m9re with casteism than gender itself, I might 6e m9re inclined t9 put st9ck in y9ur the9ries. H9wever, female c9ld6l99ds are just as likely t9 make the same laws that male individuals 9f the same caste d9. Perhaps y9u might have a p9int if a warmer6l99d male was c9nsistently taken m9re seri9usly than a c99ler female, as that w9uld pr9ve that mis9gyny was n9t simply an unf9rtunate side effect 9f casteism, 6ut y9u d9 n9t have evidence.

 

yea like half of the Absolute FuckTon of doubles in here r my fault sorry man

smthn smthn thing for selfcest

 

"What about that forced feminisation she was talking about, just because those men happen to have the same blood colour?" Gwendolyn crosses her arms across her chest. "You talk an awful lot, but you should listen more. For instance, I just told you that the memes were designed to stick in people's heads. I assure you, if the people who made those things found out people on another planet in another dimension were using them, they would be thrilled."

"Unfortunately, yes." Gwendolyn sighs.

 

As I've said, it is a side effect 9f casteism, if it exists at all and is n9t simply a h9ax passed ar9und pr9gressive spaces. The expectati9n is that all jade6l99ds are female, n9t 6ecause females are seen as lesser, 6ut 6ecause jade6l99ds themselves are seen as a h9m9gen9us mass with n9 r99m f9r individuality. I'm sure the exact 9pp9site w9uld 9ccur, were m9st jade6l99ds males instead.

 

I'M KARKAT VANTAS. YOU'RE WELCOME, I HAVE A LITTLE EXPERIENCE WITH RUNNING INTO DOPPELGANGERS AND BODY-DOUBLES, THOUGH THE KANKRIS ARE BY FAR THE WORST.

I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, BUT REST ASSURED! I HATE YOU. TRULY AND PLATONICALLY, I DO.

 

get in line binch

 

Maybe as Carlo+s I'll be able to+ expand my dating po+o+l beyo+nd Latula and "No+, Cro+nus I'm no+t interested". Well, that and po+o+rly co+nsidered black flings with Rufio+h but who+ hasn't had o+ne o+f tho+se?

It's remarkably unfair. A lo+t o+f things are remarkably unfair abo+ut o+ur lives. The sexism and being damned to+ play a game we were always meant to+ lo+se are just two+ o+f tho+se things.

Also+, the Cro+nuses do+ all co+me fro+m the "same place". Fo+r given value o+f same place. Namely o+ur no+w no+n-existent universe.

Maybe if so+meo+ne ever felt like actually listening when I talk abo+ut so+cio+cultural issues and ho+w they have interplay with gender and ho+w maybe, just maybe, there is mo+re than o+ne reaso+n behind pro+blems. But yo+u do+n't and I really do+n't feel like bo+thering to+ pro+vide it again. Because yo+u'll just do+ this again and again and again, o+nly so+ yo+u can go+ o+n and talk abo+ut ho+w I'm being co+po+rrealist o+r so+mething because I have the gall to+ say that we're dead. Because we're dead.
