Addendum to this excellent post: You do not have to be good at something to have fun. Don't hold yourself up to hyperrealistic or professional or your favourite ___ standards. You're new and learning! Be YOU, not a copy of someone else.

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair. Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority. We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

First cosplay glam, thanks in part to Eorzea Collection help! #ffxiv #cosplayglam #ff14glamour

I could advance the MSQ...or I could keep grinding out tomestones and MGP. 😎 ...I'll get back to MSQ eventually.

My biggest pet peeve is people who join Discord servers SOLELY to promote their shit. What's the point if you're not going to try to engage with people? If you do this, you'll never get my money or views. 😑

Long shot, but, if you were the Veilguard companion crew in Dynamis Blunderville, you made my night! I was the Miqo'te monk emoting with you. 💙 #ffxiv Congrats on the wins!

this is like that scene in office space where the consultants end up loving peter

Someone liked this post recently so I have to repost cause I LOVE IT SO MUCH STOLL

You should be worried at how they're trying to normalize Nazism, because it's showing up everywhere now (memes, etc.).

I'm on Anthem with my employer. Mine is going up $1600 annually. Are we great yet?

Illuna's! Ignore Estinien, apparently that's the good photo of her I have on my phone... #wolqotd #wolquestion #ffxiv

I need to gather all the Final Fantasy VIII fans who say no one likes the game and put you in a room, because the majority of friends I've made who like FF say FF8 is their favorite (as well as celebs) is EXTREMELY HIGH, and I've made a lot of FF fans.

👏👏👏👏👏

This is why folks said to be cautious when Disney was suing AI companies: it wasn't because they are anti-AI, it's because they're anti-other people profiting off their stuff and wanted to make their own AI.

I will forever miss written tutorials and forums. This is my old person opinion I will likely take to the grave. TELL ME HOW YOU DID IT/NAME OF THE OBJECTS/MAYBE HAVE A LINK! Don’t just waggle the supplies in front of the camera for ✨aesthetics✨

Gentle reminder to kudos and comment on fic you like as encouragement to the author! Comments have completely stopped for me, and it makes motivating myself to write hard. x.x

Chapter 57 of Time and Again is up! archiveofourown.org/works/522018... Woe, Urich confrontation be upon ye. #bg3fanfic

I'm absolutely loving Critical Role Campaign 4, but, if I'm honest, I don't like the ad break coming after the cold open. Hoping after they get current with filming they switch the ads back to the beginning. At present the tonal shift really throws me off.

I have gotten so much serotonin from playing the Blunderville event for the past couple hours. <3 #ffxiv

I AM GOING TO PLAY THIS SO MUCH MSQ WHO

Playing FFXIV through my WOL's eyes is hilarious while I work my way through MSQ and develop her character. I find male characters I enjoy; the character has ZERO interest. But the moment an attractive female character shows up, Illuna's like... (Sometimes Estinien can Get It, though. Sometimes.)

Don’t make me tap the sign.

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter. He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

So I ran Lakshmi for the first time tonight. #ffxiv #stormblood

The next chapter is written! I just need to edit it and write out the big battle scene. Hopefully can get it posted in the next few days.

Was talking with friends and realized why the romances in games like DA, BG3, etc., never really feel satisfying to me in the way that other video game romances have. And I realized it's because there are some big limitations with the fact that one half of the couple is a player character. 🧵

COUNT I Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall. COUNT II The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???

I live in a constant fluctuation of "wow a lot of people are speaking out & taking action, we're gonna be fine if we keep fighting" & "wtf is happening, I want to give up entirely, why is my conservative family not angry about Canks literally shitting on everything they claimed to believe."

Somewhat hilariously, almost two years of writing fic, it's funny to me how much plans change overtime. There were two popular ships that were supposed to be in the fic that, by the time I got to the point of introducing them, I realized I didn't care for the ships.

I have a number of OCs with canon characters in longfic, but the only one so far that was made specifically for a character romance was Mira, whom I made for Halsin. Canon Tav Lelith was a blind run of the game, and Wyll captured both her and my hearts very easily and never looked back. 🧵

Their dynamic is so fun to watch #thaishalloy #sirjuliendavinos #criticalrole #criticalrolefanart #criticalrolecampaign4

Gargoyles had a solid fanbase when it was airing. But over thirty years later, its greatest legacy lies in it being proof that if you tell kids stories in a way that respects their ability to comprehend not only plot but sincere emotion, they'll embrace your work forever.

The difference between Democrats caving in March and fighting back now is us. We must keep encouraging Democrats to hold the line to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

“But if we can take any sign from the public’s escalating response to this madness, it is that Trump just may, in the end, remind Americans of the vital power of acting together in solidarity with each other.” - @jamellebouie.net
