the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be a part of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

[actualanxiousswampwitch]

For NON FFXIV people

so,

in ffxiv there are dragons

and this one particular country has been in a war with them for 1k years

also, these dragons can fly and breathe fire, you know, normal typical western dragon things

so poll time

which of these 2 weapons do you think is used for said war

Gun:

Spear:

which weapon do you think was designed by the rednecks to fight dragons?

A spear (sharp pointy stick)

A gun (as if the 10th Doctor designed it.)

for ffxiv players who want to see the consensus

Remaining time: 5 days 46 minutes

now i am doing this in good faith and hope like hell you won't google the game

you'll just pick an options based off personal beliefs of what wizard rednecks would pick to fight dragons

oh, and also, do not give the answer in teh reblog tags, please and thank you

i just want to know the Vibes

Hey! If you're someone who creates content in the XIV space - art comms, keychains, you name it — feel free to send submissions to this page, or even link it in a comment to me! I haven't had much chance to post awesome accounts recently, and would love to keep promoting folks! I have pinned to the top of the blog what things I will/won't post (I try to keep it to out-of-game tangible creations, rather than things like in-game mods), if you're unsure!

anyway that xiv comic fragments' author is an out and proud biphobe so do not put his shit on my dash anymore thanks 🙏😊

[birues]

for those who want to know the url of the biphobe, it's @/nights-at-crystarium

after his blantant biphobia he has chosen to ignore people who have called him out and also has the audacity to act as a victim as if he is not the one who is outright hostile to bi folks. he also thinks if he grows big enough, his biphobia will be more acceptable.

[mythandral]

they're doubling down too, by the way

[iron-sparrow]

For those who haven't seen the original exchange, here's the dogwater take from anon that kicked us off:

hApPy pRiDe 🏳️‍🌈😚 Here's to getting upset that other queers might imagine a fictional character with no established canon sexuality to be interested in more than just one gender.

Oh, and why not sprinkle some caaaaasual racism into it! Because fans "in Japan (and maybe other places idk)" might not recognize the same shitty gender-normative stereotypes as you. So true. We the Asians should def get a pass for homophobia because our cultures are just Like That™ or whatever the fuck.

Brother. Do you know any damn thing about queerness outside of North America? Yes, Japan (and maybe other places idk) has the same/similar cultural tells for queerness because (1) Western esp American media is a major influence on global culture, and (2) shitty gendernormative and sexist beliefs are worldwide and upheld to varying levels of severity.

Holy fuck. I know people of color don't exist in English dialogues about queerness except as window dressing, but please consider perspectives outside your own. Especially during a month that celebrates the diverse spectrum of queerness.

Anyway, here's the very questionable response NAC posted and is now crashing out over:

Even if they could relate to the anon's sentiments, their response is so fucking entitled and whiny. HEY, I'M THE VICTIM. I'M BEING OPPRESSED. WHAT DO YOU MEEEEAAAAN I'M BEING INSENSITIVE TO BI/PAN/OMNISEXUAL PEOPLE YOU'RE TAKING MY WORDS IN BAD FAITH.

Like, did you all know we can have very real conversations about gay erasure without throwing other people under the bus over personal player perceptions of a fictional character's sexuality? Mind blown.

Happy Pride. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The commodification of culture doesn't necessarily harm people residing in the origin country. But it skirts the exotic Orientalism line and does hurt those of us in the diaspora living shoulder to shoulder with the consumers.

If you adore Harajuku fashion and douyin makeup and whatever the fuck else, power to you. I would still challenge you to keep in your mind what stereotypes you are chasing -- who benefits from these stereotypes and who is harmed by their perpetuity.

Junelezen2026 Day 2 (Theater)

The exhaustion from all the rehearsals couldn't dampen her excitement. Guydelot had finished his first opera a year ago, and the Majestic Imperial Theater Company was going stage it. Ilmie was set to play one of the lead roles and couldn't be any happier.

Junelezen Day 1 Intro

It's that time of year again, probably not going to follow prompts 100% this year since it's a little more themed while I just like delving into lore 😅

But on days where I can mix the two together I will! Either way, it's gonna be a full month of Evelyn love!
