the targeting of any art that is "obscene" (terms of obscenity always to be decided at a whim) is fascistic yes but also how the only kinds of art that tends to be penalized is the individual/independent creators isn't lost on me. a patreon TOS would reject anything that can be streamed on netflix.

the village she comes from survives basically intact into a modern au, it's just an anarchist commune now

mihri is remarkably poorly suited to a modern au, especially in a no magic setting... i think she's like. definitely squatting somewhere but does so many odd jobs that everyone in her neighborhood owes her their lives. disappears into the woods sometimes to go bowhunting. busks on street corners.

there's this interesting nascent growing underlying trope to various contemp. stories about "women who are drafted as soldiers/weapons of the state" and it's smth like "what if fighting in a war did not guarantee you access to citizenship/patriarchal manhood as it did traditionally, but

objectification through labour, weaponization, and sexualization all synthesized into something monstrous; modern proletarianization itself as a feminization". i don't think much of the fictional work in this vein even realizing it is doing this yet unless it is already conscious of it

don't worry i'm psychically perceiving it

yotsuyu was right to call him a cold-blooded little worm...

I'm not sure Elidizenos knew ahead of time that Yotsuyu had lost her memories, but the "fly out her and Asahi's parents to shock her memories of childhood trauma to the surface" did seem to be the key psychological element, especially since she left the mirror behind there and only got it back after

lrp hmm... i should try and come up with an idea

oh absolutely. she's got literal claws (extensible) too so she was just like 😧

post-stormblood i think the idea is an active turn-off even... sorry lesbians

A screenshot of some npcs in Ul'dah's Sapphire Avenue Exchange. One is holding out broadsheets and saying "Four found dead on Pearl Lane! Accident or foul play!? Read it here!" in an ambient dialogue speech bubble.

every time i walk through the alleyway in ul'dah between sapphire lane and pearl lane near the quicksand i'm like wow. mihri almost got murdered here in the backstory event i have never fully explained in fic

life is so hard for mihri's partners because she's literally got fangs and yet she does not have a biting people kink

yeah, i think that's absolutely justifiable

although i guess by the Real World Geneva Convention, 15 and up is legally not a child soldier

the idea of a child soldier even by ffxiv's existing child soldier standards is just desperately sad to think about

orleg-stund Noun [feminine] A time of trouble, time when the unfavourable decree of fate is carried out

my emotional support old english word for mihri that i want to use as a fic title at some point is orlegstund...

Doreen M. E. Gillam's 1961 essay, "The Use of the Term 'Æglæca' in Beowulf at Lines 893 and 2592", explores Klaeber's dual use of the term "aglæca/æglæca" for the heroes Sigemund and Beowulf as well as for Grendel and Grendel's mother.[18] She argues that "aglæca/æglæca" is used in works besides Beowulf to reference both "devils and human beings". She further argues that this term is used to imply "supernatural", "unnatural" or even "inhuman" characteristics, as well as hostility towards other creatures.[19] Gillam suggests: "Beowulf, the champion of men against monsters, is almost inhuman himself. [Aglæca/æglæca] epitomises, in one word, the altogether exceptional nature of the dragon fight. Beowulf, the champion of good, the 'monster' amongst men, challenges the traditional incarnation of evil, the Dragon: æglæca meets æglæcan."[20]

incidentally the "monster" part of "precocious monster" in connotation reminds me of the old english word aglaeca/aglaecwif (feminine), used for heroes like beowulf and sigemund, but also for grendel and grendel's mother

yeah i've just been nodding along like ohhhh the rui-isms

loving the gender intersections here

giving ur oc a fetish u dont have is a fun exercise in character depth. makes u think a bit

Hey all. Hate to ask but money's getting really bad around here and the amount I'm allotted per month is getting very tight. Some extra funds, even just a few hundred total, would go a long way to helping me feel at ease as I get my life together. ko-fi.com/sanguineclad

others have said but since i am also someone involved in this, please remember that the crux of this issue is elpis/vi’s racist behavior towards black people on particular.

i don’t want to downplay being physically and violently threatened, but the main issue at the end of this is racism

i’m going to assume the lina she’s referring to her is me so :)

1) i am dating a half black man
2) not once have i ever wanted to come off as a white savior as a white latina. i have always made sure that bipoc have always had a space to speak and let them have the room

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
