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 pigmask-off , Zionists hamas-base (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) lenin-dont-laugh in Bosporus, and the monarchs gui-trans 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 soviet-chad is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain left-unity-4 )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 bridget-disco , Shimmi kbity-how (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran transshork-happy (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 three-heads-thinking 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 chad-stalin , 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. specter

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 steban

All serve the Union USSR

All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism comrade-stoic

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)

FIND OUT HERE: https://unjustdepths.com/

please do or else I will pout incessantly

just try it pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase i need to talk to someone about it after Cromalin went AFK

(I miss her, she was a real one)

Saying controversial shit is pretty fun.

No it's fuckin not, it's really annoying and people act like you've slandered their entire bloodline because of it. I wish I could not have it happen.

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

yeah, thinking about it more i'm really careful what i write or say around multiple people at the same time because i'm very sensitive to being "ganged up on," i'm still gonna post though! even if i do apologize and say tbh and imo all the time

1 on 1 things historically has been my way of giving my real opinions, but i used to be really argumentative when i started feeling negative emotions. how much of that was me feeling their emotions, though thinking-about-it

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

yea I hate that shit, I don't apologise though lol I just fight people, while saying "tbh" a lot.

Also probably a lot of that. I wonder if that's the case for me too...

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

yeah. i'm working on a follow up post to last night, i talked with my dad a bit about it this morning while ignoring work and ... well, i'm starting to realize that i internalize a lot of other peoples' emotions. it can be very fun!! like when someone is excited about something, even over text i can feel it, makes me feel alive!

but ... well, there are bad sides to it too, if someone is hurt or mad or hurtmad at me, i can feel it physically - i get nauseous, etc. i still want people to be honest, of course.

[–] magi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah the negative emotions can really suck, can set off anxiety attacks too

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

oh! oh, this explains a lot...

[–] magi@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It can be pretty bad depending on what you pick up, I've had to lay down after some real stressful stuff in the past.

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

did you find you were holding on to it too? i've only just started to realize i've internalized all of my dad's emotions about work from years and years ago

[–] magi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah some of the more negative stuff I find hard to discharge or get rid of, so can be stressful in of itself. Especially anger I don't really get very angry much so when it's someone else's I want rid of it lol

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

this is kinda blowing my mind ngl i am understanding so much more about myself just hearing you speak, thank you

[–] magi@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

You're welcome c:

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hey my wife @magi@hexbear.net has a similar thing, probably knows more about it than me :3

Yeah absorbing bad vibes is not that fun tbh tbh.

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i know! we have talked about it, that's actually why i've been thinking about it so much :) i think the conversation with @magi@hexbear.net really helped me start to understand

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 5 points 1 month ago

waow-based me abt to mention wifey but you're way ahead of me...

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I apologize a ton as you see. “I have shown you all the opposing facts and exposed all the flaws in your arguments so can’t we come to a nice little compromise where I concede these things and you admit my correctness in other aspects?”

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

Eh, I usually argue about slop so subjectivity makes it less, productive than that. Which sucks, Idk.

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I won’t argue what I can’t defend and I can defend a lot of stuff. It’s nice when I have a partner to help me debate though. DMs are nice when you have a personal thing to work out, but it doesn’t always work.

Sometimes being an empath sounds better than being an apath, but I can see the downsides.

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s nice when I have a partner to help me debate though.

sounds like maybe you work through things externally too, i find that talking with people back-and-forth is necessary for me to form opinions at all, i am starting to doubt i can really passively absorb information unless it's presented in a dialectical style (like reading struggle sessions here, etc.)

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

sounds like maybe you work through things externally too,

knight-nod

There are times when I will announce extreme opinions only to totally contradict myself just because I need people to help me figure out what to think. I put the “and” in “back and white thinking.” Polar opposites both have reasonable probability of being correct. Many times I have asked a question online and had to lay out every opposing argument to my repliers because there’s too much information to decide what to believe.

[–] rtstragedy@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

i get a bit of this when talking about myself - i think that that's just me being full of contradictions tho

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

Full of contradictions gang. <3

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

It is very annoying. I wish people could just see my perspective and why it’s funny, and I could know when what I’m saying is offensive. Why can’t strong opinions lead more often to interesting arguments rather than hostility? Idk. I can look at both sides of anything and it seems like most people can’t.
