Since I already had to ruin my NICE and NEAT two post thread I do wanna add another point:

Yea it's not just about NSFW. It's a greater goal of suppressing LGBTQ+. Fight this.

But. If it WAS just about NSFW. I would hold the same position. It's valid all on its own. I STAND ! WITH ! THE FREAKS !

I keep seeing folks say they'll just accept a Teen Friendly account on Discord rather than scan or ID and I don't know if I wanna mass normalize leaving NSFW pals out in the cold yet again. Especially with all the censorship stuff goin on I think we gotta stand with the freaks now more than ever.

Also I'm Freaks. I wanna look at cool hot fucksex on my computer. What fucking good is any platform where I can't share all that Sorlag porn I'm commissioning. Work?? I have email for that I always had email for that. Maybe Discord can just fuck off?? That's my idea. My big idea is Fuck Off

i've warmed up significantly towards the concept of small talk ever since i learned that its sole purpose is to make friendly noises.

as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it's just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we're small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, "i'm not here to hurt you. here's something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we're on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i'm being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."

small talk isn't to get to know a person. it's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe.

i am motivated by wanting the other person to know i am friendly, so i have gotten pretty decent at small talk when i used to hate it.

the owl shit

When I was a kid and would go hiking with my dad and sibling on vacation, every time we would pass another group, my dad would do the smile and nod and "hey". And then after we'd turned a corner, he would say more quietly, "I must make friendly social noises so they do not eat my young" and my sib and I would crack up laughing.

Gotta remember that we're mammals under it all.

leveled up with this explanation, cos as an autistic person i pride myself on reacting appropriately to animals, to signal harmlessness, so why wouldn't i want to do this for human animals?

never occurred to me to stop listening to the words and instead recognise the BEHAVIOUR.

you will also betray your art
you'll think it's shite
you'll hate it for some reason

but know, that somehow somewhere, someone's heart leaps with joy because of it

and then someday, that someone will be you too

[ Ul'dah โ€” Emerald Avenue ]

Thancred Waters accompanies a young Minfilia Warde down Emerald Avenue, near the place where a runaway goobbue caused the death of her father, Warburton.

[ Ul'dah โ€” Emerald Avenue ] Thancred Waters accompanies a young Minfilia Warde down Emerald Avenue, near the place where a runaway goobbue caused the death of her father, Warburton.

Minfilia gasps, stops, then looks down at the ground, crossing her arms defensively about herself. Thancred turns toward her, a look of protective concern across his face. He reaches out a comforting hand and offers, "Come, we can turn down Ruby Road and go through theโ€”"

Minfilia, though still unable to look up, frowns and interrupts in protest. "No," she snarls, more at herself than at Thancred. "This is absurd. I should bloody well be able to walk down any street I choose. I but need... encouragement."
She looks up at Thancred plaintively, and he smiles and produces a lute. After a moment's consideration, he improvises:

   โ™ซ O come ye wayward daughter,
   โ™ซ Bereft of hearth and home,
   โ™ซ Beneath yon gilded gate there lies
   โ™ซ A market for the bold.

It is a rewording of the anthem of Ala Mhigo, Minfilia's homeland.

Minfilia, comforted and perhaps even amused by the gesture, smiles tearfully up at him, and appears ready to continue.
They resume walking toward the gate to Sapphire Avenue, as Thancred improvises a second verse:

    โ™ซ Raise up your heads and voices,
    โ™ซ Let fill your hearts with pride,
    โ™ซ Upon the dusty cobbles we
    โ™ซ Stand strong and unified.

Young Minfilia was haunted by the memory of the day she lost her father, every time she passed the site of the accident. Thancred may not know the cure, but he carries a temporary balm, with a certain flavor of her homeland.

A cinematic shot of Hien and Ifan in the Doman Enclave. Hien has his face screwed up on the verge of tears as he runs forward to pull Ifan into an embrace while Ifan seems a little taken aback by this sudden and public display of affection. The fact Ifan is wearing his Shadowbringers era outfit indicates this is the first time the pair have seen each other since the duel with Elidibus at the end of Stormblood, and Hien is overjoyed that Ifan has finally recovered from his near-fatal injury.

The caption is in Han characters and is a couplet from 'Hearing that Imperial Forces Have Retaken Henan and Hebei' by Tang-era poet Du Fu, written in 763 during the An Lushan Rebellion.

Day 4 - Festival

"Happy New Year, my lord."

"And to you, citizen."

As twice before, the reply he gave was automatic. But then he paused, looked up... and gasped.

There he was. Alive, awake, and smiling at him as he used to do.

Hien felt his eyes begin to sting.

Gravy lays back, prone, on a pool table, casting a sideways glance at the viewer, offering a shy smile, mid chuckle. He wears a red playboy bunny suit, its material glossy and reflecting the light around it. Above him is a large masculine figure, leaning over him to aim the tip of their pool cue at one of the balls in the corner of the frame. A cube of pool cue chalk is overturned over Gravyโ€™s head. Blue chalk is on the figureโ€™s fingers, as well as spattered on Gravyโ€™s cheek, bunny suit, and on his fishnet stockings.

The composition is so that the viewer is standing on the opposite side of the pool table, and Gravy is upside down from their perspective.
