Postcards on the Wall

Everything is mostly reblogs, and research by this point. Enjoy.

G'raha enjoys being outdoors. As a student, he used to curl up under the boughs of a shady tree and read until sunfall. It's also known he has a beautiful singing voice, performing melodies that have been passed down through his family

Not to start something during Disability Pride Month but I just saw someone vehemently reject Y'shtola's blindness as a disability because it's not really disabling her in any way (i.e. she can still see), but... she can't? Like, she asked Urianger to describe the night sky to her in that cutscene after you clear the Qitana Ravel because she can no longer see it for herself. I felt like that very clearly cemented how she might be able to see but it was more like seeing the aetheric outline or volume of things or whatever and not actual full normal vision.

I was really surprised to see the level of vehemence that person had about the topic, so now I'm wondering if it's a hotly contested topic in the FFXIV fandom ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I dunno "hotly contested" but I don't really consider Y'shtola and Thancred as particularly disabled in context of the storyline.

Y'shtola goes blind but is immediately compensated for that lack by now being able to see aether around her - clearly enough that she continues to be able to act as if she is, in fact, sighted. She can't see anything, sure, but her new ability pretty much negates that problem for all intents and purposes and realistically probably gave her even better sight in most situations.

Thancred can no longer manipulate aether at all. This is a problem because he needs to have magically charged bullets to make his gunblade work and he sometimes has to take the long way around instead of using aetherytes, but in the context of the story this is never a problem. He has never been without someone who could charge his ammo for him, we never see him struggle with it and there's nothing to say he couldn't just go back to his double daggers if he had to. There is now a convenient way for him to use aetherytes using Sharlayan's new force-system so that also has ceased to be a real limitation. Like, yes, totally, they are disabled but the story itself immediately gave both of them a general free pass out of it.

Shoutout to the that time alphinaud attended 3 memorial services for the fallen back to back to back and felt the need to lean over to the exact same total stranger at every single one to explain how the guy giving the speech was a little bitch.

I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understanding–"

This the report that JK Rowing doesn't want you to see. This report scares her so much that she is trying to destroy Amnesty International, a human rights organization, to stop you reading it:

Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net)

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their fundin

(Amnesty already pulled the report because of JKR's threats. Of course that didn't and won't stop her - capitulating to fascists and bigots is never the answer. Alejandra captured the report and posted it, so you can read what JKR doesn't want you to know.)

Bluesky thread is a lot of screenshots (which I find impossible to cope with), but if you scroll far enough down, there's a link to the full pdf:

My good folks? Please stop reblogging this with incitements to violence. If you do, I will assume you are a terf fedposting, and report and block you as such.
