worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Digital colored sketch of Ryne and Gaia from FFXIV; Ryne is dressed up like Buffy Summers in her prom dress + leather jacket look and wielding a crossbow; Gaia is dressed like Faith and brandishing Faith's signature ornate dagger.  They stand back to back and moth look toward the camera fiercely.

Digital illustration of my FFXIV WoL, Tyago'a, riding the black chocobo gifted to him by Haurchefant.  He is covered from head to toe in white armor - a mix of cloth and metal - and his head is turned away from the camera toward the door in Camp Dragonhead.  The foreground is out of focus and obscured by falling snow.  The palette is split between the pale blues and whites of the snow, stone, and armor, and the warm and gentle darkness present in the chocobo's feathers, double doors, and coats-of-arms on the walls.

digital painting of Haurchefant from FFXIV.  He is facing away from the viewer with his shield raised against an onslaught of Light.  the center of the shield glows subtly where the spear tip threatens to break through

Two panels of a lyric comic featuring imagery from the game Final Fantasy XIV and lyrics from the Dessa's verse on the Doomtree song "No Homeowners."  The first panel shows a bloody battle in silhouettes between Dravanians and Ishgardian dragoons, paired with the lyrics "This is synchronized sinking."  The second panel is split in half vertically, showing the faces of the Great Wyrms Hraesvelgr and Nidhogg - its caption reads "a single-sided die"

a children's "All About Me" worksheet filled out for my FFXIV WoL, Tyago'a.  it lists his name, age (29), birthday ("5A5"), height (5'5"), and favorite number (2), as well as several draw in boxes.  The drawings include a full-body self-portrait with most of the detail in the clothing, a drawing of a sarcosuchus (favorite animal), a lavender crayon for favorite color, and a stylized image of a tursus' frills and tail ( "the flag of my home country" is crossed out to read "the symbol of my tribe").  The final box, captioned "If I could make one wish, I would wish for...", has a group of feline stickpeople hunting a beast with "A good Hunt this year!" written alongside it.

a children's "All About Me" worksheet filled out for my FFXIV WoL, Vhaso'a.  it lists his name, age (36), birthday ("5th Ast. 5th"), height (5'6"), and favorite number (12), as well as several draw in boxes.  The drawings include a detailed close-up self-portrait in full color, a drawing of a blue heron (favorite animal), a royal blue crayon for favorite color, and a stylized image of a tursus' frills and tail (it is sketchier and less crisp than Tyago'a's).  The final box, captioned "If I could make one wish, I would wish for...", has two screenshotted tumblr posts edited together, to read "[scribbled out] some ibuprofen and a blunt and 5 beers and a head injury and jacking off and killing myself [scribbled out] [handwritten] and then [scribbled out] wake up at 3 pm, play videogames until it's 3 am while I'm watching anime in another window, gorge myself on friend chicken, kiss the homies goodnight and pass out on my vibrator"

a children's "All About Me" worksheet filled out for my FFXIV WoL, Tyago'a - this time drawn and written entirely with my (non-dominant) left hand.  it lists his name, age ("[crossed out question marks] 36"), birthday ("5A5"), height (5'5"), and favorite number (4), as well as several draw in boxes.  The drawings include a full-body self-portrait with dark and heavy lines, a drawing of his chocobo Wailmer (favorite animal), a pearl white crayon for favorite color, and a stylized image of a tursus' frills and tail (now much shakier and with odd proportions).  The final box, captioned "If I could make one wish, I would wish for...", has a a group of stickpeople representing the Scions with their hands raised and a smiley face in the air above them.  All of the text is written backwards

Screenshot from the video game Persona 4. In the halls of Yasogami High, the protagonist talks to a male student labeled "Stylish student". His dialogue window reads:
"Hanging out with women, going on dates with them, that's fine. Killing them? Not so much."
