Sun Riders

Needless to say, given the feedback I just got as well as the general sentiment, I'll be taking down my prior post(s) out of respect for whatever happened and to avoid cross-contamination of conversation. It seems important, and until I figure out what it is, I'd rather let other voices speak.

I'm going to be so real with you, I just got up not that long ago, and it seems /something/ happened in the community. I'm not entirely sure what, and I'm not in the market for putting out op-eds on things that don't involve me. But seeing The Posting going around, it's apparently not great.

Can stand strong defending what they believe and the dignity of poc, as well as those who are often hurt by even the most casual use of such sentiments /salute

Not at all, I hope they're doing okay. I'm just venting frustrations over the above narrative that I've seen & had for a while, and am imploring people to consider the potential impacts it has. It seems your friend may have a similar sentiment, so I hope whatever happened, they—

This is a particular topic and conversation that I've seen quite a bit, and has recently come up between my friends and I, but I haven't seen anything in particular today, especially regarding hair? I'm not sure who went through what, but violence against anyone is not even remotely on the table rn

I'm going to have to stop you by saying that I have no idea what you're talking about

This is how pixel games are meant to look

charm point, touch and see what happens (they freak out and kill everyone in the room and then himself)

they need to be put in more devastating situations, but the best i have energy-wise is rotating a camera around them

It’s 2026 and I really don’t care how you identify can we please stop using the word f*mboy especially when using it to promote mods for a childlike body 😟

good time also to say that while I'll probably continue to make more fem-leaning clothes on base vanilla body, I really want to start making schmooves to build/integrate all my other mods to Muse.
it makes me the most comfortable, and it's what fits Yorda the best for how I envision him so, y'know.

I haven't talked about them much yet because I'm still getting adjusted to rl things going on, but I'm also essentially rebuilding him from the ground up and tracking down old mods or remaking them myself, so they're a little out of sorts.
he's in the oven, he's cooking, he'll be ready soon

lrp if you call Yorda a f*mboy I am going to instant transmission to you and blow you up with nothing but the sheer, radiating power of my hatred

flat chest =/= boy.
transfems exist.
nonbinary people exist.
one's appearance does not determine gender.
not everyone wants their character to be called a f*mboy.

be more mindful.

lrp: this is and has been a huge issue within the fem-based flat-chested body community/communities. people often use it when complimenting someone else's character without any consideration as to whether they even know what that character's gender is.

Old art I still love :P

I don't see it, tbh. If people like it, that's cool, but it's a big stretch for me

Eastern *where*? You don't have to lie.

a pose of zero wrapped in the coils of a winged white snake, its head bent in an arch to reach open maw for her. zero reaches up towards it, cradling it even as its jaws threaten to envelope her head, expression a strange mix of calm and intense attention, welcoming the teeth scraping through her hair and against her cheek and throat. the lighting is dark, half zero's teal and half a vivid red, stark against the twined figures captured in a moment of surrender
