If you do not care what gender your roleplay partner identify themselves as.

Be they male, female, trans, or whatever else is out there.

If you are a friend, you are a friend. If we ship our muses together, we ship the heck out of our muses. I don’t care if you are a female playing male, a male playing female or whatever is inbetween.

See, usually I’d snortgiggle to myself, delete this and go on my merry way, but recently, a friend of mine was so harassed by people nitpicking how he played his character that he felt his only recourse was to delete the character. 

Therefore…

-ahem-

Fuck you. ^^

Look, I get it on some level, okay? I really do. RP is a collaborative writing effort and it’s really hard to write collaboratively if everyone’s playing off of a varying lore set. It can be remarkably difficult to RP with someone who wants to play their character as being a voidsent, an Ascian, a sin-eater or even from another world. 

(Spoiler alert: My Annalei d’Latu is a direct transplant from GW2′s Tyria. And yes, I have that as her backstory! And yes, it’s lorebreaking! And yes, I don’t care!)

You know what you do about people that frustrate you with their refusal to adhere to the Lore™ you personally feel is unbreakable?

You don’t talk to them.

Don’t RP with them. Don’t talk to them. Don’t nitpick their fun. 

Trust me when I say I could find a thousand ways to nitpick your character creation, backstory, writing style and RP choices. I could tear it into shreds and call you a hack writer, a miserable excuse for an RPer, boring, etc. etc. 

Guess what I do? I just don’t.

If I don’t like the way someone RPs or the way someone writes, if I don’t like their writing choices or their character, I keep my mouth shut. Why? Because it’s not hurting MY fun any to let THEM have THEIRS. Literally no one is making you look at my blog, at Summer’s story or at ANYONE’S fun playtime stuff that doesn’t mesh with how YOU interpret the FFXIV lore and world. 

Do you also go to people and children in the street who are playing, idfk, football or another sport you don’t like yourself as an example, and tell them that their fun is wrong, anon?

Anyway, while I try to stick to lore to some degree I have the hugest amount of respect for those who are lore breaking or extremely lore bending when RPing cos of the amount of shit they get in the FFXIV community.

The original post is a bit lengthy, but if you’re unsatisfied with how someone RPs or headcanons, the easiest way to spare yourself a lot of stress is just to stop following them. Block them if you need to. But telling them in an anon ask that no one will RP with them is not going to stop them, and telling them they shouldn’t simply isn’t true.

I have a Source character on the First, and she’ll be going back eventually! If I have followers that aren’t comfortable with that, this is your opportunity to adjust your dashboard as needed. I’m not here for follower numbers, I’m here for like-minded RP connections, writing, and posting my screenshots, so—in the gentlest way possible—you’ll be doing us both a favor.

Bone Hurting Dirt

At the time most of this was happening i had been out for 4-5 years. I have now been out for 7 years.

I wore a binder for 5 years and it destroyed my body. I am not exaggerating. I cant sleep on my stomach because my sternum clicks in and out. I have a dent in my ribcage because of it. When i wore my binder for the last time it got to the point that i could not sit or stand fully upright, even when not wearing it, and i wheezed while walking up stairs. I’m a dancer. I’m an athlete. It literally destroyed my breath capacity and it took months for me to get back to normal. I had to drop out of dance because i couldnt get through a combination. I cannot wear my binder now, years later, for more than 5-7 minutes without shooting pains down my spine and in my lungs and feeling like i am suffocating. My dysphoria has not gone away: i simply physically cannot bind

I have been directly hatecrimed multiple times, but by far the most damage to my psyche and perception of myself has been caused by other trans people. The actions that have made me the most dysphoric have all been done by other trans people. Specifically: tr*nsmeds.

Tr*nsmed ideology is not petty internet drama: it effects real life people. Tr*nsmed ideology is transphobic and racist and all around evil, full stop.

However

Not all of us WANT to change our bodies. And that's okay, too.

I was in recovery from a serious eating disorder years before I realized I'm trans. I worked SO HARD to be comfortable and okay in this body, to love this body, to be at home in this body.

Me and my body are finally at peace after years of struggle and sickness.

I don't want to change my body, because I fought for it already. It is the place where I live.

Beyond that, transm*dicalism is based on bio-essentialist ideas about what gender is and looks like. That kind if thinking holds humanity back in a big way.

Some men have breasts.

Some women have facial hair.

We can say these things without specifying whether we're talking about trans or cis people. These are just human realities, because of genetic differences, race, hormonal stuff.... just.... everyone's body is different and that's good and healthy and okay.

For Alphinaud: the top is Serge Gambison of Casting (there is one of healing and i believe of aiming as well), i honestly just went with my moogle pants from the coffer o kupos and dyed it white but i believe most pants dyed white will do, and Ishgardian Boots from the Gold Saucer prize attendant
