Oh hi. I've been off SM for a while to focus on in-person things that bring me joy. At the end of February, I had the honor of dancing 'Tobas', a 💯🇧🇴 Bolivian folkloric dance in Brussels I'm in the green & black, 2nd row, right-side of the screen

Back to back to back to back Feels good to monk after what felt like a long while 😎 #pathfinder2e

Happy Holidays from me and this statue of Santa holding a jolly TREE.

I... I can't remember the actual lyrics to this Christmas song. It inevitably gets filled in by this commercial 😭

This feels like a fever dream... Like, what on earth do you think the story was based on this snippet? Answer: YES

Film you've seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Star (Wars or Trek), LotR or Marvel.

That's essentially my post Dragonmeet write-up But to TL;DR, - The new venue had breathing room. Wishing for signage next year - Great array of vendors, including from the continent - Props to @soulmuppet.co.uk for Muppetmeet - Thanks to @taylorannnx.bsky.social for another POC-centered space 👃🏽👁

Hey, POC TTRPG writers, designers, professionals who are based in CONTINENTAL EUROPE, (sorry, but specifically NOT the UK this time) Please holler so I can be your friend 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 #juegosderol #lodelrol #pnpde #jdr #giocodiruolo #dutchdnd #dndnl #rpgdemesa #jogos #rpgpolska #ttrpg

Gift article from The Atlantic that overviews "fantasy racism" in D&D (and ofc why it's bad and why bad people prefer that)

Biggest congrats to Amaan and the team behind this story. To be part of this journey affirming that our different cultures and languages can positively influence and improve our stories, feels great

Packing the essentials for Dragonmeet.

[Continental] European friends, have any good recommendations for small scrapers to remove stickers that are easy to toss in a purse? Bonus points for locally made brands versus Amazon/Shein stuff. My nails are sore from pulling off racist & anti-immigrant stickers in my neighborhood.

AAAAAND I'll be spending some time representing @tumblethrupod.bsky.social as part of the Podcast Zone at Dragonmeet :)

I'll be at the hang-out and the panel 🙂 Any con I go to, there's this sort of weight on me that comes from being a very visible minority in a space. These spaces that center and uplift POC voices and work are critical and I'm glad they exist thanks to Taylor

Shoutout to the sponsors and partners for the above games, @montfordtales.com @threesailsstudios.bsky.social @lalionnecosplay.bsky.social @luckyleafteas.bsky.social and @soulmuppet.co.uk for walking the dang walk

Imagine sponsoring more content that reinforces that our hobby and industry is only for white people when you could work with @euphoriaap.bsky.social and have equally talented tables that look like this

This is correct but also 10x more relevant for sponsored content. If you are taking money and only using it to pay white people, do better. If you are GIVING money to a channel without stipulating some basic diversity in the end product, shame on you for the harm you are doing the TTRPG scene.

This discussion keeps happening, but ill keep saying it. Because I'm tired of seeing all white table, after all white table. I'm also frustrated seeing majority white table with a single POC. It's entirely possible to put more than 1 person of a colour at a table. You can do it, I believe in you!

During the intersection of Black History Month in several European countries and Latin Heritage Month to highlight POC Latines in Europe, @euphoriaap.bsky.social has had multiple all POC tables. So why is that, that, and that (yes, THAT one) TTRPG AP all white? What's the excuse there?

The DRAMA is happening now at twitch.tv/EUphoriaAP

Latine POC in Europe are not to be missed! It means a lot to me to have people who can relate to this beautiful heritage AND understand being mostly without wider or nuanced representation of their own culture within Europe, while trying to integrate and contribute Seguimos aquí ✊🏽

I get to roll physical dice when playing on Foundry VTT because it links the result. For my @tumblethrupod.bsky.social friends, it looks like THIS when I win (This was my 2nd roll for making this video, lucky!)

I was sick on 12 October and criminally also ran out of Tropical Queso Blanco 😭😭 BUT Did you know that in Bolivia, 12 Oct is marked as Day of Decolonization? Venezuela, Day of Indigenous Resistance Argentina, Day of Respecting Cultural Diversity? Fuck Columbus. No hay nada que celebrar.

Look at all these POC, queer, neurodivergent, and disabled faces from European-based friends! Why on earth are so many [European] APs so white then? Also, this collage was made some time ago and doesn't reflect a lot of the newer ppl who have been on EUphoria streams, please forgive meeeeee 😭

Super excited to be organising and running this Black History Month UKI Raid train, starting with my stream for Kickoff tomorrow at Midday, join me at /Chochyplays on @twitchuki and support Black streamers and black history from around the world all this month!!!

The 2TB backup drive is full... It's mostly final edits and local copies of streamed APs from previous projects & channels There's little reason to keep them. They're uploaded in other places... *opens up a few and gets nostalgic* I need to keep them but I need spaaaace 😭😭

Harvested tonight's dinner from the garden 🌞

Having produced this game, thus already seen it... it wrecked me Seeing the drastic decisions that upped the drama... shocked me. It's Ten Candles, so you might have an idea how it'll end for the characters. But you have NO idea what kind of ride it'll be. Bring tissues

Yes, but 😛 For me, being the eldest child of POC immigrants felt like heaps of pressure and zero room for emoting or being human. Everything had to be perfect or it wasn't good enough. Everything was just OKAY AND GREAT. I really resonated with Rei and Asuka.

Because nowadays, if I don't slot it in as content, I rarely have time or spoons to play for my own enjoyment. 😭 I'm LIVE now at twitch.tv/EUphoriaAP Join as I have some fun with my mech playing ION Heart by @parablegames.bsky.social

Finally in between video editing projects and doing all the terrifying things I've been putting off. Updating OBS, the GPU and this 🫣

Happy Latin Heritage Month! This year I really reconnected with my Bolivian heritage through folkloric dance. It's grounded me and filled my heart. Last week, I danced the Diablada. We're the prancing devils, in clothing and masks mocking our colonizers. It's how we find joy in telling OUR story.

#MainQuestCon was fun and for it's very first iteration, did a neat little job. I have much more expectations of it for future years and because it's so accessible to me by public transport (it was held in Rijswijk, just outside Den Haag), I'll definitely be back.

YAAAAAR Coming to #MainQuestCon this weekend? I'll be running PIRATE BORG during the afternoon sessions. You can sign-up at the door. Otherwise, say hello if you see me around. Or YAAAAAAR

It me. Also, it's really important that there's POC representation specifically from Europe. Otherwise that's lending credence to the idea that we're not around, celebrated or at the decision-making tables in THIS region.

The players narrated what the opening to their paranormal TV show would look like during the game. This is their words, their vision. Come catch their story tonight :)

Just a little something that’s been bugging me in the K-Pop Demon Hunters fandom ✨

Something that just rubs me wrong is when people make [unsolicited] suggestions about how to do/change XYZ *without* realizing the labor it takes. And naturally without volunteering to do it themselves Starting that suggestion with "'Just' do XYZ" is a guaranteed way for me to mentally mute someone

I'll be dancing the 'Diablada' 🇧🇴 at the Embassy Festival in the Hague, 6 Sept @ 12:30 This dance reflects the push & pull of good & evil. Due to historical events, these devils resemble the colonists with their round eyes, pale skin, bright hair, strange clothing and "insistence" on Christianity 😈

Co-signed. Taylor just wrote her latest game in a day, because she needed it out of her head. Taylor filmed an AP this summer that's going to blow minds when I edit and release it. Taylor lives, breathes, and understands TTRPGs on a level most folk can only aspire to. Hire her.

Me explaining to my husband the influence and awesomeness of visual kei music and bands like X Japan, Lucifer, Luna Sea, Gackt, etc and how the Burning Soul song on Dandadan attacked me with such nostalgia that it rekindled my jaded soul.

I love it so much when my monk girl gets to monk 😭😭😭 The theater drama on @tumblethrupod.bsky.social was been a cool change and legit fun. But a day later and I'm STILL buzzing over the last recorded session #pf2e

For me personally, being the person who measures the ingredients, mixes it all up, bakes, decorates a cake AND gets to serve it to people, is better than eating said cake 🎂 So after a long family break and traveling, back to cooking!

It's been a busy cultural week. Recognition from the Bolivian Embassy for representing folkloric and indigenous culture. Then dancing in the lovely Frankfurt to celebrate Bolivia's bicentennial 🇧🇴 It means the world to share my heritage and culture with such supportive and receptive friends <3
