also might be worth mentioning here is a whole little train of thought i have regarding why i personally don't tuck. basically this: all attempts to "pass" are on some level trying to be seen as cis, but tucking is very specifically trying to *not* be seen as trans. and i don't really want people not to be able to see that i'm trans. in fact, i'm very open about it. what i actually want is to help build a society in which being visibly trans is not a *bad* thing.

like, i understand why people do it and people who tuck, people who go stealth, etc. are valid. but for me personally, i feel like something concrete i can do to contribute towards building that world is to be open and proud about being trans and to refuse to be ashamed of it. to fight to be accepted as trans rather than trying to be seen as cis. i want to be treated as a woman, yes, but i have no issue with people knowing that i'm a *trans* woman.

as a socialist i believe that nothing should be privatized, but it's especially unforgivable for the provision of the fundamental building blocks of modern human existence (food and water, housing, clothing, sanitation, medicine, electricity, communication, education, etc.) to be controlled by corporations whose ultimate reason for existence is the accumulation of profit. the transfer of all such services to community-accountable public ownership is a pressing immediate demand.

I'm gay

i did it

honestly i need to get that frame of Ruru without the subtitles and make *that* my pfp because being a gay robot girl is relatable

here's a few

realized while looking through my screenshots for one i have a lot of really good (funny, mostly) anime screenshots

yo what up y'all i'm an anime pfp now XP

tfw @Penelo made a random Precure screenshot i had sitting on her tablet into her profile picture again

like, lemme just talk a little more about why i like these. this is such good UI writing for a game. you're being presented a yes or no question, but instead of being worded in a way that reminds you that you're playing a game, being presented as if the game is asking you the question (which would be immersion-breaking), it's presented as if the NPC you're talking to is asking you the question. and not you as in the player, but you as in the character you're playing as. this is great because part of playing an RPG is essentially playing pretend that you yourself are the character you control, and this kind of writing facilitates that instead of interrupting it.

also, here's one of those good modals

god the writing in this game is so GOOD

i love the flavorful modals in FFXIV that relate to the dialogue instead of talking about things like you're playing a game

one that'll probably always stick with me is when you're doing the quest to join the Weavers' Guild and the guildmaster says you have to be "prepared to suffer" for the craft and the modal is like

> Are you prepared to suffer?
> [Yes] [No]

still insanely proud of myself for thinking to give my FFXIV character the stars face tattoo and make them green

i totally followed @wintgenstein a while back without realizing they're a super old internet friend of mine, like literally the first person i told that i'm trans lmfao
