well [gestures] im black and most of my ocs are non-white! ryuhiko, hanami, and their family are real world equivalent mixed japanese-desi with additional cultural inspiration from ryukyu islands while sascha + his family are north african + slavic inspired! just as a start

All of them are; but the one that’s been with me the longest and that I adore from my soul is N’ami Hidaka 🖤 A retiring samurai with a heart of gold and a soul that’s heavy. She is the epitome of black excellence and grace.

sometimes i wonder how anyone took alphi seriously in ARR

my average t*xtools experience

the constant misuse of Asian clothing esp when people jumble them together bc they cant tell the difference between clothing is extremely annoying and nothing ever is a better spotlight of it to me than when ppl take lunar new year gposes wearing chinese clothing mods in hingashi

as an fyi: you Can wear things other than pants with ao dai, but you have to wear Something... a skirt. leggings. trousers tucked into boots. SOMETHING. to be blunt, wearing them w bikini bottoms makes you look like you left your house in your underwear.

the way the bar is in hell for anti-Asian racism too bc whenever we (diaspora) bring it up we’ll have some of our own people coming out to dogpile us. “well I’m fine with it” okay, not all of us are I remember posting a PSA at one point asking white folk not to hypersexualize the cheongsam—

reminder to please listen to minorities when they speak up about vile racism in the community and dont brush it aside as "petty drama" or "discourse" when literal slurs are hurled and the management lets it slide because they think hating a person means its ok to let people be vile racists.

the hair has been posted. odysseus for all m races. enjoy :) heliosphere.app/mod/qs0n1krb...

my sincere reminder to all older players is that we need to give sprouts our time and energy if we can. we should share what we love about this game with new players, so that one day they can open pf and see a sprout asking for help with a duty they struggled with before. it keeps giving, trust me

at some point, the FFXIV community is going to have to reckon with the fact that the reason it has such a substantial problem with racists is that moderates and centrists who "don't want to get involved" and "don't want to discuss politics/drama" continue to tolerate them

it's generational trauma wrapped in the guise of patriotism, and the cost you pay for the 'glory' of being a dragoon is blood. spilling your own, watching the people beside you spill theirs, spilling the blood of dragons. twelve! he was twelve!

whatever. fat femra friday at the last couple mins of it. the work that goes into lux+ is so wonderful and i need more

Hello #FFXIV #ff14 community I come bearing gifts 1/6 As an artist I'd noticed a lot of people sending me references that were borderline unusable, so I decided to compile some information about what makes a good reference and how you as a commissioner can do to provide good ones to your artists.

I think you're right
