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)

I don't like accepting my feelings. I'm more of a suppress kinda gay.
I feel too embarrassed to post what it is right now, but its a big struggle. I really did not want this to be true.
You should uh, work towards being comfortable with it, probably. It will make you feel better if you can talk about it without dying of shame, y'know?
Probably. There's not much else to do about it I suppose. I'll probably end up sadposting about it later.
Hopefully it's productive sadposting though
Idk about Eggnog, but I always seem to make progress after my worst sad posting.
And then I feel bad for having sad-posted and need to correct myself, but the feelings will return eventually (but not aa bad?) and I’ll have lied again.
Sadposting is good though? Whatever works for you, I suppose.
It is good. I crave the replies and visibility but fear being a burden or at least giving false impressions.
Neurodiverse queers feeling like they are a burden when they aren't
Like being offensive, I feel like I can’t feel it when I am burdensome, so my RSD feels rational practicing on false alarms.
Just like me fr
this tbh, sometimes just being honest with people about how i feel is halfway to feeling better about a thing, even if i don't change the situation at all
True. Vulnerability is fun.
yeah for sure, i work out problems through conversation preferably with one or two people (thank you those that helped, you know who you are :)))) ), but my conversation partner needs to be like-minded and understand that i don't just want advice (although i don't mind advice, really!) but want to be seen, acknowledged, and critically - put my thoughts in order which i can only do through externalization
Real. I’m scared people take me too seriously (or not seriously enough)* when I externally process, but it rarely stops me.
*I think the PDA just wants me to control, like everything else, what everyone thinks about me regardless of whether it’s positive or negative.
hmm, maybe in that case, if one can't get a positive reaction from someone, a negative reaction is better than an unpredictable or no reaction.
i've been ignored a lot in my life by my "peers" as they would very very much find me annoying and weird and creepy, i still feel those accusations to this day. i would have taken an angry reaction over the gaslighting "huh is someone there? must be the wind" shit any day.
Totally. Being ignored is so ambiguous and worrisome and like no one cares. Having your average “difficulty with reciprocity in conversation” I’ve felt ignored a lot. Probably why I’m so eccentric and colorful and opinionated. People have stronger positive or negative reactions to me so I can feel seen and annoy them better to elicit more reactions.
yep sounds like me when i was younger 100% on being outspoken, i got it bullied out of me but i remember having some friends in grade 12 that were very much like me and i felt so at home around them despite the crippling dysphoria. but i never really did like the negative reactions, just wanted people to like me and to be authentic
Real. I had friends last year but was too unstable and non-self aware to keep them around. Wish I knew I was autistic earlier. I like to think I don’t get bullied partially due to my confidence, idk.
oof, yep, my dad is also wrestling with this too, no matter when you find out, you wish it was sooner
Funny thing is people told me I seemed autistic, but I didn’t like them that much and was contrarian thinking it didn’t matter.
Same. Too afraid to get 'judged' thus negative reaction from others, so I constantly police how I behave and my own thoughts.
Acab includes...
the cop in your (and my) head
PIG MOTHERFUCKER
been there, too embarrassed to say how I really feel to myself, let alone cool internet people, let alone people who know what I look like
