IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO ~~or else I WILL BAN YOU~~
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists , Zionists (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) in Bosporus, and the monarchs of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human , Shimmi (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light.
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists
All serve the Union
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?
Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

generally, programmers are pretty ND or have some ND traits, so it helps me blend in. and i don't get out much, lol.
oh, yeah, the both sides... good luck :/ but I do want to say my parents went through that. my dad was a Musk lover for a bit, he'd agree with all the things i'd tell him, and then also repeat liberal talking points. still sometimes he whines about "this thing is garbage because it was MADE IN CHINA." I calmly explain every time, and eventually he starts correcting himself... eventually...
actually, I have a lot of thoughts about found family based on our earlier conversations, I'll post about it sometime soon, maybe tonight or something.
in a good way?
helps to know i'm not alone, lol
yes absolutely. i love hearing/reading infodumps usually, this is something i find cute and awesome about autistic people - they way they can write a thousand words about a short story and make me feel it too. that ruled, btw.
spoiler
Based and based, I wish my autism helped me blend in, but I also don't get out much soooo...
My dad does this and it's very funny. He thinks china bad which is y'know, blegh.
Aw fuck yeah looking for gorup, looking for grooooup!!!!!! New post!!!!!
Yeah in a good way =) that's one of my proudest posts so y'know.
It's an emotional regulation thing, I have to know a feeling so I can put internal strategies in place to be regulated about it.
Naw it was just a dorky post cmon.... I mean I agree but not about my stuff yaknow...
spoiler
i just remind him all the good things that he thinks arent made in China are actually made in China
As soon as I saw you doing this in my inbox I immediately had to tell Partner excitedly, lmao.
Oh! This makes sense. Yeah, I've been feeling a lot of new feelings lately. Not really sure about any of it, lol, but I think that I probably do this too. It's been a strange couple of months in general, since I started seeing Cool Therapist. I went from just thinking I wanted to go back on ADHD medication and feeling like I had too many hobbies and being sad about that to being like "I want my full time job to be posting on bear site. Someone pay me." and "also, autistic btw." I've read so many books, listened to so many different autistic people on YouTube, made an effort post in one of these threads a while back about it too for someone...
Then I read the Gender Accelerator. And now I'm reading Orange Book (slowly lol, the bear site is very good and fun actually) and giving work the respect it deserves (lol).
no exceptions, sorry you'll just have to accept this, your posts are good actually
::: spoiler spoiler
kinda funny bit tbh
That sounds like a lot of really good turnaround since you've been seeing Cool Therapist, then, which sounds rad as fuck. And then gender theory! Also waow I sure wish my fulltime job was posting...
spoiler
totally, i'm happy about it. i'm trying to work on this fond family post, but realizing that ... i don't actually have any answers for any of it. i just kinda started writing and then ran into a wall, lol
I believe in you though :3 glad you are happy abt it.
(oh, it finally happened, didn't it)
(did it?)
(i am not sure honestly. i am trying to decide if i should change my profile picture or not ... i did not expect it to be this big of a decision)
