Anyone new to my profile; welcome!
I mostly post about my FFXIV character, Theuros, and her polycule (A'rrietty, the "Ring (1st) Wife"; Yuri & La'hi). Also, you'll see me talk about my Pathfinder 2 wizard, Avira. She's a gay emotional disaster.
Sometimes, I share stuff I like/am doing. See the bio!

It’s weird how the “sexyback plays every time a character appears onscreen” meme goes away and comes back in greater numbers every few years.

Weirder for me to be the guy that did it first because my video wasn’t making me laugh until I added the music whenever Duke Devlin appeared.

Theuros could definitely be in either Veronica Roth's Carve the Mark duology, the Divergent series, or Maze Runner. Another fitting candidate is Veronica Roth's Curse Bearer series.
Yes, Roth is my favorite author. How did you know?

Theuros and Avira both would be disliked for being too edgy and impulsive.
Avira being gay would be a huge issue for some, and Theuros being polyamourous would be a massive issue for some as well.
They both can come across as unwise and inconsistent in their choices, compared to more developed OCs.

Kypepe @kypepe.etheirys.social · 4d

#wolqotd hypothetical.

Your OC becomes a canon character. What is their "problematic trait" that creates fandom discourse? This can be a genuinely problematic character trait or it can be something completely innocuous.

Do your research, people.
I'm putting a local tattoo shop on blast, because they have at least one artist that uses #GenAI. Do not go to Momentum Tattoo in Garland or Greenville, Texas.

Theuros definitely rushed in to go dispatch Zoraal Ja. She was flooded with hatred for him after what happened in the MSQ. Her admiration for Wuk Lamat drive that, for sure.

#wolqotd Today my tarot deck drew the Queen of Swords, a card that advises one look on a subject with reason and unbiased judgement.

What is a time when logic would have suited your character in making a decision over emotion? What have been the consequences of not heeding that advice?

Ursus Dice & Resin Crafts@GATEway FATE @ursusdice.bsky.social · Dec 1

Hello there, I'm Jess! I make dice, FFXIV inspired keycaps, and occasionally other resin things like keychains/jewelry.

I'm also hoping to be able to open my keycap commissions again in the near future!

You can find all my stuff here
Shop: www.ursusdice.com/products
All links: linktr.ee/ursusdice

A large handmade resin D20. The D20 is a shimmery blue and the numbers are painted in Antique Copper. The 20 face has a bear icon.

A handmade resin keycap featuring a light blue FFXIV Crystal Tower icon with a background of a night sky in the middle and golden walls of light being pushed away on the sides.

Two handmade resin keycaps that were commissioned. The one on the left features a gold FFXIV Ninja job icon with flowers and a blue butterfly. The base of the keycap is blue. The one on the right features a gold FFXIV Summoner job icon with a background of a silver moon and stars, a white feather, and iridescent shards. The base of the keycap is green.

A set of handmade dice that contain mushrooms, lichen, moss, and wisps of white. The numbers are inked in color shifting copper/green.

Made something because I’ve been thinking about this a lot, TLDR: life’s short, please live your life and allow others to do the same.

You are cringe and you can be free

#cosplay #cosplayer #costober #fandom #anime #videogame

What is “cringe”?

Honestly it depends who you ask, but it’s used to shame people for something they like or for being themselves. Saying something is cringe is positioned as maturity, being “too cool” and therefore employing bullying tactics to make others edit or reduce themselves into the mainstream or “normal”.

But that’s not what maturity is

Maturity is understanding that “normal” is relative. That sports and music are fandoms too. That bullying is a reflection of one’s own insecurities. Maturity is also understanding that constructing a persona to fit the mainstream is really just a sad waste of your very limited time on this Earth.

So be cringe.

Because life is too short for us to bully each other out of our passions and authentic self-expression.

1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch.

I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

Erin Reed @erininthemorning.com · 16d

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.

If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.
