they'd taken like $400 worth of comms in the Bloodsands and we ended up having to ban them from everything, but they at least mostly refunded our people; don't think they refunded their past comms though, F

we almost had this same incident verbatim, except we learned that the artist in question had THREE years of like... Half-done comms? would finish some, then open emergency comms, and ignore the rest without any communication
tbh, curious if it's the same person

A couple years ago I asked him if he used Cameos/paid the VAs (he didnβt) & when I spread awareness it was AI/labour theft he put a plotline about me getting killed directly in his video (monetised & made hundreds in USD from) calling me a βfatherless degenerateβ & a βpervertβ merely bc I am mlm!

oneharmeachday.org. It is a salmon pink color with the title "1 HARM EACH DAY" in the center top and "TEN MOST RECENT HARMS:" to the left. It is up to date, the most recent harm being listed as 2-12-2026 (time of this photo) and it being "Plucked out a hair on my head." Nine other minor harms are listed, one for each day, including "Told myself I was worth nothing", "Ate a little dirt," and "No water today (dehydration)"
oh, the website is real
I never actually checked that for the meme

Hi! As y'all know, I am currently working on a black FFXIV modding compendium. As of right now, the spreadsheet is aiming to contain links to Dawntrail compatible mods hosted on XMA and/or Heliosphere (only these two) that meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Mods that are very directly made with black characters in mind (EX: black hair mods, sculpts with black features, etc.),
- Mods that are directly shown to work on darker skin tones through proper previewing (EX: body mods previewed on darker skin tones, makeups previewed on darker skin tones, etc.),
- Mods that promote more racial diversity ingame that could possibly help black players feel more seen and properly represented. (EX: NPC overhaul mods, etc.),
- Guides and resources to promote further creation of inclusive mods (EX: Devkits, Guides, Resource Bundles, etc.),
However! Unlike my transmasculine compendium, I am unable to curate mods for this based off my own personal lived experience. I am white, and I really do not feel right putting out resource on an assumption that I am fulfilling the needs of my black peers. I want to confidently know that I have done everything I can to make sure this resource accurately represents the wants and needs of the wonderful black players in this community.
With that in mind, I am looking to reach out to my black friends, followers, mutuals, and broader members of the community for assistance! I want to hear your feedback on the sheet while it's in an early access stage. This means telling me what's good about it, how it can be improved, and also (potentially, if you're willing) helping me find and locate mods to add onto the growing list!
Here is a vague TLDR of the questions I'll likely ask:
- Do you see any mods that arenβt listed on here, but are on you feel should be on here? Any mods that shouldnβt be included?
- Are there any additional categories you suggest? Should a current category be split? Removed?
- In your opinion, what makes a mod preview a good mod preview that helps black players in deciding whether or not to download a mod? What about mod descriptions?
- For skin diffuse mods, what would you consider to be an ideal preview image? How should modders properly display a variety of skin tones?
- In your opinion, what should players avoid doing when it comes to creating, naming, and describing black mods?
Aaaand a TLDR of questions relating to credit & compensation:
- Would you be comfortable with being publicly credited as a main contributor? (This would be listed publicly on the sheet, but remaining anonymous is 100% okay.),
- Would you be comfortable with providing me with your Kofi so I can direct people to tip you to show appreciation for the sheet? (Same as above, saying no and remaining anonymous is 100% okay.),
- Are you comfortable with me tipping you in thanks for your time and patience with helping me work on this sheet? (I'm insisting upon doing this since IMO this does classify as emotional labor, but if it really would make you uncomfortable then I 100% won't push!),
These questions will be asked to multiple people, so my aim is to get a solid group of opinions and adjust, tweak, modify, and improve things from there! If you are interested in helping out, please comment below! I'll reach out to you via DM to discuss further!
hi! i have been chipping away at making a black modding compendium, similar to my transmasc one. (images below have the non-tldr)
TLDR: im looking for black modders/creators who would be willing to offer feedback on what i currently have + this is a task i want to pay you for taking the time to do!

I am all at a loose end since you left; I feel as if I haven't seen you for ten years. Every conversation that I have with my mother is about you. Everyone here loves you dearly.
Under what constellation were you born then, to be blessed with such qualities, so diverse and so rare?
I do not know the name of the feeling that I have for you. But it is a special tenderness, something I have never felt until now, not for anyone. We got on well together, didn't we? It was very agreeable.
It was so good that I do not want to share the pleasure with anyone else. If you happen to use Croisset in one of your books, do disguise it so that nobody recognizes it. I would appreciate it. The memory of your visit is just for the two of us, for me. That is how selfish I am.
I particularly missed you last night, at ten o'clock. There was a fire, over at my wood-merchant's. The sky was pink and the Seine was the colour of red-currant syrup. I worked at the pumps for three hours and I came home as weary as the Turk with the giraffe? [...]
One of the Rouen newspapers (Le Nouvelliste) reported your visit to Rouen, so that on Saturday after I had left you I met several bourgeois in a state of indignation over the fact that I had not put you on display. A former magistrate took the prize: 'If we had known that she was here... we would have... we would have ..? - five-minute pause, he's looking for the word - We would have... smiled at her.' That would have been rather meagre, don't you think?
[...]
To love you 'more' is difficult for me. But I do embrace you most tenderly.
Your letter this morning, so melancholy, stirred me. We parted company just at the moment when all kinds of things were about to find their way into words. All of the doors between the two of us are not yet open. You inspire a great respect in me and I do not have the courage to ask you questions, Farewell, I kiss your sweet and lovely countenance, and I am

I love that my feed is partially Magic The Gathering because I'll see people going "Man, I can't wait to pair Appa, beloved companion of Aang in hit series Avatar: The Last Air Bender, with this eldritch-slug manifestation of Catharsis" and apparently it's a viable build combo??

Hello friends! I'm retiring from the FFXIV RP sphere and from leading the Bloodsands to dedicate my life to loving my partner to the fullest of my capabilities and making an IRL community
We had a good run, and I appreciate all the love and support this community's given me! A final note:

maybe it seems cruel and not particularly humanist to want to run racists out of every community by bombarding them with demands that they kermit. but consider that coddling racists and insisting that "both sides are valid" is how we got where we are today. time for that to end i think.
