Skele's FFXIV Stuff

@azurecatboy and i like to celebrate our wols' birthdays together, since they're so near each other (moro'a's birthday falls on 4/20, while rhein'ir's falls on 4/22) and they're both blue-green catted boys <3

✨The boys: rhein'ir (left) and moro'a (right)✨

We've both been too busy for anything involved though, so this year we'd just like for xiv folks to share anything you've made—fic, gposes, arts, crafts, music, you name it—so long as it features blue and/or green, turquoise or bleen. wips count! doesn't need to be xiv-related either.

(For writers, this could be a paragraph or a whole passage or poetry, idk go wild. i'm a writer myself so i'd love to see these <3)

Lastly, use the tag #bluegreenbday to share your stuff!

I deserve a halberd

I should be given a halberd

People want me to have a halberd

I can be trusted to own a halberd

I will be given a halberd one day

You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.

You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.

You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.

You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.

You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.

You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.

You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.

kids more than you hate christian

fundamentalists.

and like, let's get one thing straight: no, of course they don't want that guy to use the women's bathroom. they want him to die or detransition; that's their actual goal. they want him to not exist as a trans person. let's just be clear on that.

but the thing that actually bothers me is that this rather steamrolls over the fact that for every transmasuline person who looks like that, there are also transfeminine, nonbinary, and intersex people who look like that and want access to women's bathrooms, and setting up their presence as some kind of absurdity really isn't doing them any favors. nor is it helping the less "passing" trans people who want to use men's bathrooms! this is in fact reinforcing the idea that public bathrooms are a space to be policed based on appearance, that you only gain access to if you can look a certain way.
