if you're not asian please stop using asian names/words as your internet pseudonym. 😭 i know some ppl want to go "this has been my nickname for XX years!!" but it's time to grow up and reflect on why your nickname has been a japanese word for half your life.

A lot of this applies to online communities too, maybe doubly so for an MMO like FFXIV where there's a thriving social scene baked into the thing we're all ostensibly fans of. If you're looking to make connections in whatever spaces you're in (or want to be in), some of these suggestions might help!

I think I tried almost everything in my power to try and get my Huion tablet to be detected by my laptop but no dice, so while I save up for a future repair (I can confirm the HDMI port is fried), I added another $50 to my goal so I can buy a quality capture card/adapter: ko-fi.com/xemnenas
i would prefer not to spend more money than I should be and yet it looks like I have to go out and go get display adapter because my tablet doesn't work with my laptop o(-(

got reminded of it's existence: if you need a file hosting service that you don't want to sign up for, catbox is free. It partially runs off of user donations and has specifically stated it will NOT be doing business with genAI services. catbox.moe

numbers to me are MY version of "hey so it actually only has to make sense to me for me to do it and I don't feel like explaining it to anyone else" like i really dont give a shit to learn numerology. the only numerology i care about is predicting the next taylor swift album. these numbers are MINE.

i love ocd when it gets a little rational. when it gets a little reasonable. but always out of nowhere. hm yes what if one day i wake up and i dont remember anyone or anything and i have to navigate this with my wife who would probably be working when i wake up to it. what if.

ultimately i need to make better outfits for ayame & hyouga especially. ayame is only in the spriggan jacket because it was the shirt that she once had a modded top put onto.............. back in 6.5 LOL..... she WOULD wear that jacket but i dont think it's really her "main" outfit.......

i think (accidentally) making noncommittal "sketch" gposes has been a huge realization. to make something with a lot of effort, to be unhappy with it, and then to start all over the next day with a stronger vision and all the initial hard work already done. and its funny seeing the before/after....
February 16, 2026 at 4:00 AM
remember the other night when i talked about posting things im not proud of and how it makes me feel...... i think that's something to try to work out of, so i'm posting the trial run of ayame's portrait...!!!!!!! i really want the rphub portraits to all have this same style i used on adonis'.

convos on the timeline converging with convos on my tiktok fyp are making me think about this again... again im not really thinking about anyone in specific, but this specific phenomena in lesbian spaces (TUMBLR!!!!) just make me feel eugh... pls engage w/ canon women too !!!!!
this isnt abt anyone in specific, this isnt even xiv specific.

i love headcanoning male characters as butch lesbians. i love hitting canon men with the he/him lesbian beam. i love trans fem headcanons on canon men.

but when i see ppl do this but neverrrrrr engaging w/ the canon women..............

realizing right now that it's just bean soup but at a concept rather than another individual. bean soup in a vacuum.
i think ego-centrism has done massive damage to these types of conversations. yeah yeah yeah everyone can say w/e they want on their own page. but on god why are you saying this. is it a flex to you. are you trying to flag something, and if so what. what are you adding to the bigger discussion.

i think the desire to have A Hit Post has caused people who do not follow "the norm" to feel the need to ask for applause for, like, being special or something. same brand as "well i NEVER used discord nitro" & "i NEVER used tiktok" & "i NEVER liked that person" like ok dude what're you adding here.
February 15, 2026 at 5:11 PM
i think the worst thing the Internet has ever done is create a safe space for ppl to think they're very smart for not "following a trend" or otherwise disagreeing with some new Thing everyone else is doing. im sorry but rebranding contrarianism just makes you look like a loser...........
