as people begin heading out to anaheim for NA fanfest, i must urge everyone to please, please, PLEASE mask up. there are people out there with immunocompromised systems, and i AM one of them. along that vein, if you're feeling a bit too ill, stay away from the convention center.

The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!! Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on! I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

Paths joined by fate, horizon bound ✨ #FFXIV Patch 7.5: Trail to the Heavens Part 1 arrives April 28, with Part 2 arriving in early September!

its nice that the xiv fandom migrated here since we're so used to this

“Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” ~ Pope Leo

Yeah, I think one of the most incredible things about the pope-off is that when previous popes have done similar things, it had to go through a translation barrier, but no nuance and no shade is lost when the American pope is being bitchy [complimentary]

get yourself some comfy masks for summer con season!!!

what do you even fucking do with this, man? the president is beefing with the pope while posting AI sop pictures of himself as jesus and the catholic vice-president is telling the pope he is doing theology wrong. i am not and have never been religious and this shit shocks and bothers me.

Hi! I made a few changes and now my pocket Chibi Dachi Meteion is ready! Ready for great adventures! ❤️😊

this is the stupidest merch lineup ever please buy them >> acggoods.com/store/amarys... [ #meiart #meishop #lindwurm #ffxivart #xivmerch #xivfmn #arcadion ]

remember if youd like some charms for fanfest its best to order soon so i can send them out!!

The people yearn for women game protagonists over the age of 35

Hot take: people up in the comments being like "but artists are allowed to be criticized" are directly adding to and exacerbating the issue of abuse, and it is abuse, within fandom.

I find it extra hilarious for them to tell the Vatican to stay out of politics when the church has spent way TOO much of its time in politics here, but oh it was just fine when those politics lined up with your agendas lmao

PLEASE CHECK OUT MY FRIEND'S GUIDE TO SWANA/ARAB CLOTHING!!!!! ESPECIALLY FFXIV PEOPLE WHO PLAY THAVNAIRIAN/CORVOSI/ALA MHIGAN CHARACTERS IM BEGGING YOU. orientalism erases the true beauty of these cultures and their traditional clothing and makes these valuable references VERY hard to find!!!

As I play catch up on #CriticalRole today, have a little Pin I finished this week. 🦊🖤💜 #criticalroleart #criticalrolefanart

A very astute (and upsetting!) piece that touches on four scary cultural trends: 1) The demand for spelled-out moral clarity in stories 2) A growing inability to understand different types of narratives 3) The "customer's always right" version of fandom 4) The growth of fandom as a social identity.

Fucking WHAT

Louder for the people in the back.

Do I find the spectacle of the Vatican beefing with American adult catholic converts very interesting? Yes. Will it make me reconsider reviving my lapsed Catholicism? Absolutely no.

Vibrant life flourishes, all is right in creation #ffxiv #ffxivart

I haven't uploaded cosplay photos in a very long time, time to start!! Retsarra/Howling Blade = me, cosplay/wig made by me Pomb plush made by @finalfantasymama.bsky.social 📸 @amiephotos.bsky.social Excited to wear him again at fanfest!! #ff14 #cosplay #ff14cosplay

You can't tell me Del Taco isn't aware that @en.finalfantasyxiv.com Fan Fest is coming to LA this month. #FFXIV

As I’ll working on content creator interviews, I’m actually very determined to keep the word “content” out of my writing, because i agree with the current negative connotations it holds as creative works being for quick consumption. It’s surprisingly harder than i thought it would be.

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

They could literally just go to the fucking building. They could demand a rally. They could be loudly calling for his impeachment on every damn television channel. They could be doing ANYTHING other than going "welp, on vacation, guess I'll just tweet about it" and pretending otherwise is a joke.

Hey if you're a young adult in the US pay very close attention to the moment because in shockingly few years the popular account of who did or said or supported what right now will be at times unrecognizable. Don't let that break your brain or just you, as a person.
