My WoL, D’alia, up close to the screen with the Cornservant in the background. The text across the image says “parallel play with me.”

#kaegposes

Gpose from Final Fantasy XIV of my miqo'te wol Moro'a lying down on the golden grass in the final area of The Dead Ends, looking to his right where Haurchefant lies down beside him. White flowers with large round petals and yellow centers dot the grass behind them. Moro'a's tail curls close by Haurchefant's leg, and both wear contented expressions.

Gpose from Final Fantasy XIV of Thiuna from the Crystalline Mean CRP/LTW/WVR quests looking up at the night sky with her hands clasped together, wearing a hopeful smile. Moro'a, my miqo'te wol stands next to her, looking at her with an uncertain expression.

Gpose from Final Fantasy XIV of a miqo'te girl with blue hair dressed in the hypostatic healing gear from Euphrosyne, standing with her hands over her chest in prayer. Behind and above her looms Menphina. The moon glows incandescently above, and the ground is bathed in white light.

Gpose of my miqo'te Warrior of Light, Moro'a in a white shirt lying on beige-gold sand, smiling with his eyes closed as his right hand rests palm up on his forehead. To his right is Leofard wearing the same shirt, lying down facing the opposite direction as though upside down, his head resting on Moro'a's chest. His left eye is clearly visible as he looks up towards the viewer with a light smirk, and his right hand rests next to his head.

i'm just so disappointed that someone i felt safe interacting with turned out to be racist, and instead of wanting to listen to and learn from a black perspective, blocked about it. enjoy that shrinking white circle.

anyway, i'm normal again.

"not afraid to ask a black fella a hard quest" but definitely afraid to be questioned by a black fella. don't say you're white over and over and then get offended when POC ask you not to speak on their behalf because they "assume" you're white. YOU SAID IT!

You went on racist rants here, on tumblr, and in this server. Everything said to you was warranted and no amount of white fragility dismisses your oversteps. Apologize or get over it.
