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)

    I wake up this morning to a notification that my FFS is in one week from today. I’m so excited and so nervous, ya’ll.

    I am absolutely looking forward to it, but terrified if something goes wrong or it I don’t actually like the result. I know these are normal feelings, but it’s intense how real this feels now that the date is approaching.

    Got on higher dose of e. Practically cured my ADHD symptoms for 3 days. Then it all stopped and I was depressed and my ADHD symptoms were back with a vengeance. Felt like I was stuck like that forever.

    Last night I remembered that I’d ran out of my depression meds and missed a couple days. So being exhausted and unable to do things is normal when I miss those meds. Woke up today feeling hopeful that things will get better.

    Cautious optimism sucks because it’s just normal optimism that I pretend isn’t as exciting as it really is. But holy shit I want to feel better.

    They’re doing weird foreplay in this book. observe:

    She smirked. “You’re cute when you’re giving me sass.”
    I tossed my hair back over one shoulder. “And that’s supposed to convince me to stop giving you sass?”
    She raised her eyebrow again, and I got the feeling she knew what that did to me, too. “Quite the contrary. Finish that salad, Avery.”

    giving me tremors and ideas sicko-lea

    I finally got around to watching I Saw the TV Glow and I’ve been crying for an hour reading the threads about it from a few months ago. I wish this movie had come out 15 years ago, though maybe I would have been too repressed to get it back then (and I definitely couldn’t afford any therapy or gender-affirming care back then). I love all of you and I’m so happy this community exists. If I never found my way here I’d still be pretending to be someone that I’m not, shoving all those “problematic” thoughts down. The movie really captured the existential terror of knowing the truth but being unable to accept it, fearful of acknowledging it and giving it power and living a lie for so many years. I’m only out to a small group of people but the crushing weight of existence is starting to ease up now that there are people I feel safe around.
