I'll make a pinned post...

I'm Penny. Enby, 21+, Sapphic, Neurodivergent.

I primarily use tumblr ( @kaninchen-reblogs ) and I'll likely cross-post my stuff between accounts.

I'm an avid player of #guildwars2 and #ffxiv and I sometimes find the time to make #art as well.

A flashback to my old blog where I reviewed the Jones Soda 2006 Holiday Pack, with turkey and gravy, sweet potato, dinner roll, pea, and antacid flavored sodas. I tested these with some friends after Thanksgiving dinner, we all threw up, and it ruined the entire holiday.

how does lord of the rings online have better black/curly/kinky hair styles than xiv. like squenix you cannot tell me its an engine limitation or whatever when lotro predates xiv by 6 whole years and has the janky mid-2000s graphics youd expect from that era.

Penelope (they/them)!

A former wildling, they now are a captain in the Adders who leads a squad of misfits, outcasts, ex-criminals, and those needing a second chance. Although a sweet and gentle friend to all in need, their ferocity in combat has garnered them the nickname "The Fang of Gridania".

Eh, not bad for fiddling around for ten minutes. Just a simple, eight-step sequence with some randomized percussion. High frequencies are still a little rough.

i'm tapping the sign because a lot of people just seem to forget that "nsfw" doesn't just mean porn. it means "not safe for work." would i get sent to HR for having this on my computer monitor? yes? then it's not safe for work. for the love of everything that is holy, stop erasing the meaning.
Look, I get it.
Fuck the system.
But please for the love of god label your shit if its nsfw.
If someone is naked, it's nsfw.
It means: Not Safe For Work.
This isn't a euphemism.
It's literal.
If I open blue at work for a cheeky scroll to see how moots r doing, I shouldn't have to watch my 6.
Thanks.

Many full time creatives have “invisible safety nets” like bread-winning partners, trust funds, external support, etc. No shame on anyone, but it creates a false vision of success. The cost of going to cons alone on top of hoping to eat as a freelancer are untenable, IMO.
When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

XIV: "You'll now be able to use any glam on any job!"

Folks who shelled out actual real-life money for the Crystarium Rebel’s Attire, which is literally just existing available job-locked glams, so the only reason to buy it is so you can have non-job-locked versions of the cosplay set:

Nearly done with Dawntrail (final dungeon and presumably final trial, then it’s over). Queue times on Dynamis for post HW content are abysmal but I don’t feel like DC swapping so I’m just sitting here thinking about the expac.

And uh. Gosh do I have thoughts. Dunno if they’d be interesting tho.

I have worked on dozens of games. My work has been used by hundreds, maybe more.

Microsoft literally used my accessibility designs to write their internal rules on how to do accessibility.

I'm credited in 3 games.
Everyone who worked on a video game needs to be in the credits:

The "Skill issue"/"Git gud" mindset is, I think, second only to Gamergate in terms of how utterly destructive it was to the gaming space (though the two are very intertwined anyways).

Like this isn't a bit. I think it's one of the primary catalysts to the gaming space's current toxicity. (🧵 )
