I know there are only like ten of us, so I don't expect this to get particularly big or busy, but here it is! (NOTE: While only NSFW channels are age-restricted, server members must be over the age of 18 simply because I am too tired to monitor other people's children online.)

I just wanna say I love the kanji for Midgar:

御土我留 (みっどがる)

御 = mi = honorable, or to manipulate, or govern

土 = do = earth

我 = ga = oneself, ego

留 = ru = stop or stay

御 is like THE honorific particle. You see/hear this everywhere. To sound polite and grammatically correct, this gets added in front of countless words (お金 o-kane, ご覧 go-ran, お茶 o-cha, etc.) Much more commonly it is pronounced “o” or “go”. Usually it is also not written in kanji but in hiragana.

土 just means earth or soil. It’s also part of the word 土曜日 doyoubi, Saturday, and 土星 dosei, Saturn.

我 - I always think of old men when I see this word 😂 because they always use it to refer to themselves. You’ll often hear this in its plural form, 我が waga - ours, or 我々wareware - us. By itself 我 ga, it means the self or ego.

留 is always pronounced ru/ryuu and means “stop” or “stay”. It’s in the word 留学生ryuugakusei, foreign exchange student, and 留守 rusu, away from home.

So it’s kind of like its own little sentence, something like “The Honorable Earth Upon Which We Reside”😅 (edit: Or, even more simply, “We live on earth”) which is kind of close to the original meaning of Midgard, Middle Earth, anyway. Very cool, Square 😎

⚰️ Strifentine Week 2025 is over! ☁️

Thank you all for taking part in this first annual Strifentine event, whether through creation or engagement!

Next year's event will take place July 7th thru 13th! We don't want to step on the toes of other similar events (in particular, FF7 Rarepair Week also takes place in mid-February, and we really don't want to pull anyone away from that one) so we're moving forward and will do it all again starting on Tanabata.

Prompts for Strifentine Week 2026 will be revealed May 30th, 2026—see you then!
