Character Document

I have created... a new character document with as much info about my ocs as possible. I might add a stories section to it too eventually. I have too many characters and only talk about HALF of them.

Des's WoLverse Document

Welcome to my WoLverse document! These characters’ stories are all canon-divergent due to the fact that some major npcs who died are still a

Introducing: Introverted Eorzea!

Remember the post I created a few weeks ago that asked about your thoughts/experiences on being shy, introverted, or socially anxious in FFXIV?

Remember I said I was working on a project around this topic?

This is part of that project - a brand new YouTube channel with a forthcoming series of videos created for and about the shy, introverted, and socially anxious players of Eorzea!

Sorry this took me time to get off the ground, I had to work up the courage to record my own voice, and that was tough as a shy person! XD

It's for that reason, in fact, that this is my very first ever YouTube video:

In the now immortalized words of Kefka:

<This is my first time, so please take it easy!>

How You Can Help!

I've got a lot to learn about making videos, I know, but if you'd like to hop on for the ride and help support this little channel, please reblog this post, hop over to my channel to subscribe, and watch/like the video at it's source!

My channel is absolutely brand new, not a subscriber to the count - will you change that?

I've also created a community section on the channel where we can chat. I know... it's tough to chat as shy folks, but I promise I'm safe and I will be kind! :)

About Introverted Eorzea

This first video is short and mostly an intro to myself and the channel's purpose as I was setting up and exploring video formats. But future videos will tackle topics such as:

What exactly is being introverted? Is that different from being shy or socially anxious?

What is social anxiety? How does that effect being a part of an online community, such as FFXIV?

Why do we feel anxious and how can we handle it when we do?

How do we help other people who struggle with social anxiety?

Lots more... I have a list!

Oh and, shoutout to @dogicrimsonofficial who got an unexpected cameo in this video. Howler popped up for a few seconds while I was recording - can you find them (and me)?

If you have thoughts and ideas, I encourage you to drop them in the comments below the video and let's get a conversation started. Come introduce yourself! Let's take this journey together!

The WoL being careful about risking their own life unnecessarily but not for their own sake, but rather because it always seems to end up being someone else that takes the hit for them, and they're tired of losing people.

⚠️ TUMBLR SCAM WARNING!!! ⚠️

Just a heads up in case anyone else receives a similar message.

I was recently contacted by someone claiming they had mistakenly reported my account because they believed I was involved in a scam. They later shared a screenshot of what appeared to be a Tumblr support email featuring my username and profile picture.

After looking into it and contacting Tumblr Support, this appears to be a known phishing scam that Tumblr is already aware of.

The scam may involve:

Someone claiming they accidentally reported your account

Screenshots of fake Tumblr emails showing your username/blog

Claims that your account is under investigation, at risk of deletion, or needs to be "verified"

Requests to contact a supposed Tumblr support agent, often on Discord or another platform

If you receive a message like this, please be cautious and do not provide your login information or contact unofficial support accounts.

In my case, another mutual received the exact same message from the same user, which suggests the account may have been compromised and is being used to spread the scam.

If you're unsure whether a message is legitimate, contact Tumblr Support directly through official channels.

Please reblog even if this hasn't happened to you. A mutual and I encountered the same scam account, so there are likely more people receiving these messages.

Please reblog to help spread awareness. Stay safe, everyone. ❤️

So this is a callout post. If you want to stop reading there that's cool, but I cannot let a raging misogynist, biphobe, transphobe, lesbophobe person parading as an upstanding queer artist keep getting platformed when he's said some heinous things, behaved terribly and begs for likes as if life is a popularity contest. Block me if you disagree but I'm writing this here as Tumblr is less ephemeral than other channels. Part of this post was originally posted here as a reply.

fragments/nights-at-crystarium/Jay have been posting misogynistic, biphobic, transphobic, lesbophobic, entitled comments and then claiming people are homophobic when they criticise him back. Please rethink if you want to keep supporting him.

A/N: warning this is a LONG POST and I have truncated it under the break. I have also added the most recent misogynistic rant at the top just below the biphobia.

C/W: Biphobia, misogyny, transphobic language, lesbophobia, entitlement

---

Biphobia

Context: an anon send him a message about how Emet can only be gay, Japanese people don't understand queercoding and that people who ship femme character with him are delusional.

See here for why his Emet-Selch comment was biphobic at worst and misguided at best. (thank you @birues for bringing this to everyone's attention)

---

Misogyny and Trans-exclusionary language

Jay HATES the idea that women want to share this space too. In addition to the Tumblr post above he posted this to his Patreon discord, which is not private as his patrons can access it. He laments that people make fem characters because it's default and he wishes they all would transition to men. He also jumps in to insult two artists with m/f Emet ships @nipuni and @ja-ck-du and calling their art hetslop:

---

(continued with more of his terrible behaviour after the break)

Pattern of rancid behaviour over the years

Let's start with the laundry list of all the bad behaviour he's expressed through the YEARS. You can read this better on my reddit comment here which I posted in reply to a shill thread made by what most people agree as Jay's sockpuppet account on the ffxiv subreddit. All of these I had the displeasure of witnessing myself or have been corroborated by multiple people:

---

Self-aggrandising behaviour

Here is Jay claiming that there aren't many queer creators in xiv which is INSANE because this is the queerest fandom I have ever seen. You can't sneeze without hitting a queer artist. He also calls himself a pillar of the community, which is HILARIOUS because I have never seen him uplift other creators. You can't be a pillar of the community if you don't engage with the community. Your sycophants don't count.

How can you victimise yourself to such a degree?

He also claimed that if he was a lesbian, all of these callout of his rancid behaviour won't happen, which is laughable because you ask any lesbian in this space what being femme entails, they'd tell you straight up that they have experienced misogyny, no less from people like you Jay.

---

Entitlement

Jay being ungrateful that ONLY 25 people have shared his post, and then saying you deserve to not be helped when you need it unless you share his post because he's a poor comic artist earning $1.2k from patreon every month. Because not sharing a post from a popular artist is obviously equivalent to not helping someone in dire straits. If you have been around, you'd know that times are hard, especially when you're queer. He's wishing you ill for the offence of not pressing that repost button.

---

Being ungrateful with a sprinkling of misogyny

Jay straight up insulting anon's wife because how dare she reads his comic when she hasn't played ShB because her mind would not comprehend the complexity of his plot. And this is AFTER he begs for followers, as he does with every single one of his goddamn post.

So which is it, are you going to appreciate people who read your comic or are you going to put up so many qualifiers you only deem them worthy of following you when they've ticked all of them?

Hey Jay, maybe you should connect to your readers in a genuine manner and not in bad faith where all you want is for them to stroke your ego whilst giving a facade of appreciation.

And maybe, just maybe, you should start uplifting your fellow queer creators before demanding everyone support you.

---

If you've read this far, thank you. I hope if you have ever supported him in the past that you rethink if you want to still support him after this. I do not care how big his following is; I do care that mask off misogyny is being let loose in our space. It doesn't matter if you're queer or a woman, we should not sweep this under the rug especially during Pride Month.
