Raise Your Glasses
Sevika, Vi and Ekko, who never saw eye to eye, bonding after Jinx's death over the fact that Sevika was there for her when neither of them were.
Sevika, telling them about the softer side of the girl with the manic eyes.
The three of them getting together, to try and piece together a full picture of Powder and Jinx. Vi, who knew who she started as. Sevika, who knew who she became. And Ekko, who knew who she could have been.
Literally part of the plot of His Dark Materials season 2
A friend reminded me today of the sentence:
"you cannot shame yourself into improvement".
All very true, and something I needed to hear. So lucky to have other humans sharing wise words and making my life better, irl and on Tumblr.
If you have a goal to change this year, be sure to build your plan on a foundation of self-love, not self-criticism. You are worthy just as you are. If you hope to change, remember that each little step on that path is a tiny gift honoring your own sense of self-worth. Move forward in the name of care, not condemnation.
The only way in which selling sex is exceptional as a form of work is that it involves having sex.
Sex work is not more emotionally intimate than all other forms of work. Emotionally intimacy can be involved in therapy, care work, and writing about deeply personal topics.
Sex work is not the only form of work which can involve genital contact. This happens in medical environments, care work and when giving genital piercings.
Sex work is not uniquely dangerous. Fishing, construction and underwater welding all have high fatality and injury rates.
Sex work is not more prone to trafficking than all other forms of work. People are trafficked in huge numbers in the agricultural industry and for the manufacture of textiles.
Sex work is not the only form of work which involves frequent sexual harassment. People are often sexually harassed whilst doing bar work, waiting tables and providing health care and social assistance.
Sex work is not the only type of work that is criminalized. Other types of work like busking without a license, drug dealing, con artistry and any kind of job which requires authorisation form a third party where that isn't obtained.
Stop it with the sex work exceptionalism! Treat it like other work.
Another thing I just love about dishonored is the casual queer representation.

Like it's so nice just to see these casually mentioned and not a big deal made out of them. It's part of the world and no one questions it. I absolutely adore it.
Sea animals, hopepunk, fantasy, queerness, and a bit of philosophy
