This is the Nightmare Scenario

The Loose Ends Project matches crafters with a project that is unfinished because of death or disability. They offer help with a spectrum of textile mediums in over 80 countries. One project I find particularly lovely: “My mom was making this octopus for me. She was 67 years old when she passed away from COPD. She was hospitalized for pulmonary rehab several times and would always take it to work on while she was there and loved to talk about it with people."

I want to celebrate transmasculine art this pride month.

I was going to wait until after the weekend to list this, but it's too hot for video games and the pictures are ready to go, so I may as well: Communique! More pictures and words over at the gallery page, and it's currently available for personal interpretation and delight over here.

Remember the post I created a few weeks ago that asked about your thoughts/experiences on being shy, introverted, or socially anxious in FFXIV?

Remember I said I was working on a project around this topic?

This is part of that project - a brand new YouTube channel with a forthcoming series of videos created for and about the shy, introverted, and socially anxious players of Eorzea!

Sorry this took me time to get off the ground, I had to work up the courage to record my own voice, and that was tough as a shy person! XD

It's for that reason, in fact, that this is my very first ever YouTube video:

In the now immortalized words of Kefka:

<This is my first time, so please take it easy!>

How You Can Help!

I've got a lot to learn about making videos, I know, but if you'd like to hop on for the ride and help support this little channel, please reblog this post, hop over to my channel to subscribe, and watch/like the video at it's source!

My channel is absolutely brand new, not a subscriber to the count - will you change that?

I've also created a community section on the channel where we can chat. I know... it's tough to chat as shy folks, but I promise I'm safe and I will be kind! :)

About Introverted Eorzea

This first video is short and mostly an intro to myself and the channel's purpose as I was setting up and exploring video formats. But future videos will tackle topics such as:

What exactly is being introverted? Is that different from being shy or socially anxious?

What is social anxiety? How does that effect being a part of an online community, such as FFXIV?

Why do we feel anxious and how can we handle it when we do?

How do we help other people who struggle with social anxiety?

Lots more... I have a list!

Oh and, shoutout to @dogicrimsonofficial who got an unexpected cameo in this video. Howler popped up for a few seconds while I was recording - can you find them (and me)?

If you have thoughts and ideas, I encourage you to drop them in the comments below the video and let's get a conversation started. Come introduce yourself! Let's take this journey together!

tbh, I've loved Rydia's green look since childhood -- even tried to sit in the pool for a looonnggg time trying to get my hair to turn green (yes, I was a dumb kid, lol). C:
